Jaded No More

The AFL can't afford to do that, and by extension that means we can't afford it either given we rely so heavily on AFL financial support. Cancel the season and you can say goodbye to our club. Sadly we need to suck it up and get on with this ****show of a season.

This season is a goddamn circus, and we, as the resident clowns, fit right in.

In: one of the 3 tall forwards currently fit

Well for one they were a man down and Danger was on the bench for quite a bit of time in that quarter. So that helped. We were 3 goals down. Hardly a come from behind triumph. We evened it up but we never should have been in that position. Geelong are bog ordinary. We had the ruck advantage and did nothing with it again. We let them chip it around and not once manned up or put pressure on the ball carrier. The one time this happened was in the last and Brayshaw got a goal from it.

And please nobody say anything about Goodwin. He is a great coach and our game plan and team set ups and selections have nothing to do with him. Playing a prelim in 2018 absolves you for 5 seasons from winning future games because “remember 2018? We were so good. It’s proof everything will be good”.

Nicely entrenched in the bottom 4 where we clearly belong. Our coach is truly a disgrace. I was waiting to see the team selections in action and boy was I right in my suspicious. Jetta for Lockhart, a miss. Played Hannan and AVB and Fritsch and Melksham which just makes no sense. No second tall forward even tho both Weid and Jackson are fit. Back line is also a [censored] show. People can have a go at Omac all they like, but he can actually defend. Joel Smith gives us nothing. How many times were we mismatched down back because we didn’t go in tall enough? I am so disappointed with our game plan and selections. A fully fit list and this is the [censored] we put on the field.

Keep not playing a forwardline you dumb coach. It works so well. [censored] dumb****

Once again no forwardline has cost us. Goodwin has no idea.

[censored] me we dropped Jetta for Lockhart. I can’t.

A mark. A [censored] contested mark. A miracle.

Seriously our back line is taking the [censored]. Thank god they dropped Jetta. Our only defender who isn’t busy trying to be a show pony and actually defends!

Save for one non free on Tmac, umps have been very favorable to us.

Disgraceful quarter. We are in no mans land. We have no game plan. No purpose. No stars. We just float in obscurity where we belong. 2018 was an utter fluke.

It’s so exhausting watching this [censored]. And our coach truly is a marvel. He does nothing. Is he on job keeper?

They kick goals every time the ball goes into the forwardline. So really we haven’t won a single part of the ground this game.

The amount of times our back line is caught out of position is laughable. Rivers on Hawkins?

Great our one tall is on the bench. Shame we don’t think to ever play a second one.

Wheels have come off. Who didn’t see this coming? Also how is that not a free to Tmac? Front on contact much?

Any chance Oliver can find an opponent?

Yep. Game over.

[censored] you you bunch of morons. Who didn’t know that was gonna happen? Goodwin watching on. Floodgates about to open.

Completely agree. Too many similar mid sized forwards who give us not enough. We need Weid in there. If he’s no good now is the time to find out. Not sure what we are waiting for.

To be fair we haven’t played 4 games since 1984 ?

Agreed. And so great to see Vanders out there too. Love to see him tackle. McDonald was better this quarter with his attack on the ball and in the air. Better intent. His hands are jelly and his turning circle is of the Titanic, but still good to see him attacking contests. Hannan has been impressive. And when it clicks for Pickett watch out!

We won’t be getting lots of FTA time with this sort of sparkling enthralling display of football. Yawn!
