Jaded No More

For as long as I’ve been watching us play we’ve been a horrible wet weather team. When it’s wet and slippery you gotta be smart. We are dumb even in dry conditions. Brisbane played it perfectly and their ball users through the middle killed us. I rate our midfield but they are mostly meat and potatoes. They see ball, get ball, butcher ball. I love what Langdon has brought to our team, he works so hard to make position and brings needed legspeed, but his ball use is average at best. If we can get Bennell fitter and onto the wing for big chunks of the game this will help. We need a feeder on the outside who can use the footy. Sadly this was Brayshaw but for some reason he is lost and Tomlinson has most certainly not delivered this yet either. I have to say I’m very disappointed in this trade.

He’s a bit soft. I really like what he brings to the table with skills but gees he hates going hard for a ground ball.

Game finished 3 hours ago. Move on guys. Nothing to see here.

Does so much right. Goal kicking is one of the easiest things you can teach and we know he has a good kicking action. He is so inexperienced and has been in and out of the side a lot. He needs confidence and to work on his mental game.

I’m starting to worry about him. Either they need to play him inside or they need to reinvent him. He plays [censored] all minutes for a mid and when he plays he plays where he isn’t suited. Something needs to happen here.

Couldn’t get our hands on the ball in the Centre despite Gawn’s dominance in the second and third. Missed like 6 super easy shots on goal. Bennell missed one on the run from like 1.5m out. Weideman fluffed 3 easy set shots. Pickett missed another gimme. Also we made some poor choices with the ball and turned it over and got smothered a lot. But otherwise it was great. Love watching a game ruined by bad choices and bad umpiring.

How can a 6 game veteran be overrated?

Amen. Biased rubbish from supporters gunning for him to fail. Pathetic uneducated call. He did as a good a job on his opponent as Andrews did on Weideman who should have kicked 3 for the game.

Dumb teams lose games. Umpires an actual disgrace to the competition. Our players need to learn to kick for goal. That is all.

And umpires did not help. Play on when we kick 12m. Mark when they kick 2m. Holding the ball not called one way. Nor pushing in the back or chopping the arms.

Rubbish biased commentary by supporters who want to see him fail. We put on zero pressure thru the middle. Our back line was under attack constantly and did so well. His opponent did very little. Less than Weideman. Did Andrews have a horrible game too?

Well and that’s the game. Well done. Umpires cheating. And our players are just so so so so so dumb. Disgraceful.

Cheats absolute cheats

Seriously the umpiring is a disgrace.

Umpire ruins the game again. Free against Pickett. What a joke.

Come the [censored] on

Jones. Thank god. Experience when it matters.

All day these clowns don’t play holding the ball. Now they do in front of goals. Seriously. Just get rid of these umpires.

Halle[censored]lua

Even when we get something right with [censored] it right up.

They are a lot better than us. We are being schooled with ball use and pressure. We can’t get our hands on the ball in the middle. And we can’t get any continuity with the ball.

Weideman kicks those 3 very gettable goals and it’s game on. Him and Bennell just inexcusable. You can’t be a professional player and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and kick the ball like that.

He leads with his head. It’s his fault Get absolutely [censored] umpires ?

Jesus Christ horrid watching

Sorry but Weideman kicking is pathetic. Missed 3 easy goals.
