Jaded No More

And that’s the gist of it. Smith is too unpredictable and he cannot read the play. He is basically Frost but more attractive to look at. He throws the back line out of whack and leaves May and Lever too worried about covering too many holes. I have no idea why Lockhart didn’t play this week but with Jetta seemingly coming to the end of his career we need to develop that replacement small. Smith ain’t it. We look best with May and Tomlinson at FB and CHB and Lever as the third man up. Hibbo was a big loss but he’s also at the end of his career. We keep throwing all sorts of players at half back and they don’t seem to work. More so than getting another winger I would look at getting someone with zip and good disposal to play that half back role. We are woeful at transitioning the ball back.

Completely agreed. Deserves our admiration and respect. He has done nothing but been great to this club. Always represented the jumper with passion dedication and honour. It is sad that the end for him is coming with injuries and not with finals. He deserved better.

Yep. Time to say goodnight to 2020. Season. Year. It’s all bad.

Viney going for the ball blindly is both admirable and our biggest downfall in the midfield. He’s a selfish footballer. He works super hard but sometimes it’s detrimental to our efforts because he’s always getting in the way of others.

No excuses. Sydney also had to travel here.

Bad kicking is bad football. Just atrocious.

2020 can go and get [censored].

Gawn. Captain. Disgraceful.

Supporting this team is a waste of time and money.

This is just unacceptable. Our goal kicking is a disgrace.

Hahahahahaha [censored] 2020

Sydney is a well drilled team who played us beautifully. Oh for a good coach.

Langdon the only one working hard today. Trying his guts out. Literally.

I give up

Can anyone in this team hit a target?

Sorry Oscar not Smith. Smith still panicking in the back line.

They made moves. Tomlinson back. Smith forward. I’m shook.

As I’ve said. Worst. Game. Plan. Ever. Such a high risk low reward plan.

ANB bog ?

Please don’t get me wrong. Our players are pea hearted headless chickens today. Absolute rubbish from them. I can’t even start with how bad some of them are at football. Basic skills evade them. But 4 years in and Goodwin is still making bad selection decisions, poor match day moves and he still struggles to have us stem the flow when things go against us And I’m disappointed with Gawn. Captain needs to stand up. Talk and lead with your voice

Correct. Coaches are responsible for how teams play. Cohesion, confidence in each other, knowing your role and turning up and being able to absorb pressure. That is the job of a coach. He has done nothing to fix or stem this disaster which you could see coming after two minutes. Not for the first time we have folded under perceived and physical pressure.

We weren’t good against St Kilda. We broke even at best and had two match winners drag us over the line. Just. Today nobody is playing a team game. Players running into each other, too many contesting for every ball, no support or defensive pressure. We are downhill skiers. We are playing one of the best defensive sides in the competition. They are 16th for crying out loud and are playing with more pressure and intent than we have all season.

And yet people want to keep supporting the witches hat in the box.

There goes our percentage too.
