Jaded No More

I think the bottom line is, we did not deserve to win today. GWS were excellent and we stunk up the joint. We are blessed with a backline to stops us from losing ugly. But without them this would have been an ugly loss.

Yep to throw Hunt forward after a year of playing and training down back and expect him to win the game just says how little faith we had in the rest of the forwards we selected.

We are very midfield heavy with our current selected side. But we have far too many like players who don’t do enough. Trac, Oliver and JJ all provide strong points of difference but Harmes, Sparrow and Viney all so much of the same. Which is not a hell of a lot.

Don’t get the hate for Petty. Played on Himmelberg who is a very good player and kept him to 1 goal. Sometimes supporters can’t see the forest from the trees. He is not an issue. He’s doing as well as can be expected for a kid who played 11 games going into this season. Eleven. He’s holding down CHB. I repeat. Eleven. Move on. Nothing to see here.

I totally agree with you. I’ve been on the “bring Ben Brown” train all week. I’m still stuck in the city loop tho. We did have more inside 50 entries so there’s no doubt we could have won with better forwards up there. But we also won a lot of games this year with the same forward set up. The difference for me today was how badly our midfield was outplayed.

Geelong not doing too badly it seems. And Essendon were up and about and Richmond have 100,000 members. Twice what we have. To blame the fans for today’s loss is legit the single funniest finger pointing I’ve seen since Essendon fans blamed the umpires last week. Absolutely dreaming.

How have attendances been going this year? How many did Richmond get? Geelong? Give me a break. We got 17,000 which is almost as many as came last week to watch two Victorian sides. Maybe if there was something to cheer about we would have got going. We are not a [censored] supporter base that cries and boos all game.

Congratulations. You’ve won supporter of the year. Enjoy your salty tears.

Lol now I’ve seen it all. I was at the game. We made plenty of noise in the last quarter to help the team. You know what we didn’t do? Select a non existent forwardline and struggle to win clearances. Jesus Christ let’s blame us supporters for putting up with a mediocre club for 60 damn years.

GWS may be 10th but they are a good side and they played very very well. Their midfield is absolutely elite and destroyed us inside and on the outside. Absolute credit to them.

When you lose by under two goals of course it can be argued that Ben Brown could have been the difference today. But this loss was on the midfield. They got smashed today. One of the worst games I’ve been from Trac and Oliver. Harmes his usual wasteful self. Viney a non starter.

To blame Hunt for the loss is to put a bandaid on a broken foot.

People will pick on Hunt but FMD there are 18 players out there who did SFA today. At least Hunt tried to do something.

Oh well who wants to finish top 4 anyway. Our midfield should be ashamed of that performance. Viney has to get dropped. He’s a liability. Pickett likewise.

All over. Thanks for nothing. Midfield a disgrace. Forwardline non existent. Trash.

Why don’t we throw Gus in the middle? Can’t be worse.

Embarrassing. We look second rate through the middle and up forward. Our backline is the only reason we are still in this.

Our inability to win clearances is a disgrace today.

We can’t buy a [censored] goal and they kick them from nothing. Viney has to get some touch in the VFL. He is not with it.

Viney isn’t ready. He is a liability out there.

They clearly want a tall in the goal square because they’re playing Gawn and Jackson in the square. But neither are forwards.

My kingdom for a contested marking forward. I guess I’ll just go watch Casey play ?

I would applaud anyone who takes out that [censored] stain of a human Mumford.

Disgusting game. We are playing like a bottom team. We just do not want this. Lazy insipid performance and not one player forward of the Centre who can take a contested mark.
