Jaded No More

It was such a heartbreaking and frustrating loss, but you can't ignore the positives no matter how furious you are about the loss. We lack composure. If the tide is turning in a game we go to water, when the game is on the line we lose our nerves. We make bad mistakes at crucial times and we desperately need Salem back, because our kick outs situation is diabolical at times. Wagner kicking out? Really? Not ok. We don't have enough leadership to steady the ship and we can't afford to win the stats so comprehensively for 3 quarters and not make the most of it in front of goal! Easy misses, bad umpiring, poor decision making, these things are not permanent. The talent is there but we need time.

Definitely a defender

This game is like someone cut my chest open, ripped my heart out, handed it to Tom McDonald and said "save her by kicking this heart into this 700m wide pile of fluffy cushions"... And he misses. FML!

Umpires were disgraceful but this club is too weak to raise it. Shot ourselves in the foot with woeful ball use. Again. Same old same old. Cannot remember the last time I was this heartbroken over a loss. Time to get drunk and forget all about this club for a while.

Umpires can go [censored] themselves. Pathetic!

This breaks my heart. We just can't win when we continue to turn it over. We have no composure.

Nobody wants to play Dunn or Garland so we can't complain about our 12 day old defence. TMac's customary game changing turnover. Gold.

This game is going to be the end of me. My heart can't deal with this [censored].

How can they pay this mark? [censored] it. We just can't win this. We have zero composure!

Unbelievable. We spend 2 hours trying to kick a goal. They kick one in a second. OMac- where's the urgency son?

I can't deal with this game. We are losing it. I can't even understand.

[censored] off umps!!!!! Holding Kent twice. No frees. We wasted so many opportunities. I can't see us holding on sadly.

Completely agree. Our back line has gone from B grade to F grade. Massive rethink in the pre-season because this is not ok.

I can't deal with our backline. How is nobody ever in the right position???????????

OMac on Kennedy is not a fair matchup. Tom should follow him to the toilets.

[censored] Dawes off. Just [censored] him off. He is a joke!

Defence is woeful.

Brayshaw = class!

The handballs. I could vomit!

It's wet. Already we are overusing it. Smart. Learning fast. Love it.

I'm really excited to see this diamond defence let Kennedy kick 12 goals today. Pumped!

Looks like it's raining. Might help reduce the demolishing coming up.

I'm just glad I have plans to drown my sorrows post match. This is gonna get ugly!

I think we can both agree on one thing: neither Dunn not Dawes are part of our future and both are bad plugs to a big gaping hole

I disagree. Dunn can take a mark, can kick a good goal, he isn't perfect but by god I can't watch Dawes and his Titanic like movements spud it up anymore! Dunn is not getting a game in the backline, this could be his chance for reinvention.
