Jaded No More

No, it shows that Ablett is one of the greatest players to ever play the game. Yes our midfield is rubbish but Ablett is gold covered in diamonds. He IS an A grade midfield all on his own. PS- karma is a [censored] Scully you gutless [censored].

I don't even... what... just no. Terrible call. Mitch Clark being out is never not a bad thing. Mitch Clark being out reduced the quality of our team by roughly 50%-60% Brisbane by 40+ Call me an optimist.

Terrible news for Rich and the Lions. Hate saying "great news" when someone gets injured, no matter how much it may help our cause. Just remember, we are one Nathan Jones injury away from shutting up shop.

I say we shave his hair and tan him up and try to pass Hogan as Dawes for this week. They'll never know, and if they find out, lets just say we had 'never formally employed or had direct contact with the beautician who undertook this makeover'. It'll be fine.

Jack Watts = Travis Johnstone Welcome to 8 more years of frustration.

No, the thread starter. So few things go right for us, why tempt fate?! We are one Nathan Jones injury away from packing up and calling it a season.

WHY YOU JINX US?!

Wow. People, we lost two quarters to GWS at home today. We are almost no chance next week.

A pleasure to watch in red and blue. Always.

When he chooses to play well, he is one of the most gifted in the AFL. His issue is his head, not his talent or his skills. We expect too little from him and that's how he comfortably cruises by.

He doesn't go hard enough which is not good enough. It has nothing to do with confidence either, which he is horribly lacking. It doesn't take self belief to bend down and lay a tackle.

Nothing changes. Come the end of the year, he needs to be replaced. Maybe sooner if we put in anymore Essendon-esqe performances. We are not a seriously competitive team and we should be after so many years of bottoming out.

It was a great quarter but its one quarter against a terrible team. It highlights what we can do when we play a decent structure, go man on man, and back ourselves to kick the ball and attack. It also highlights that we aren't performing to the best of our ability each week and that is a massive worry.

I don't care, it's better than seeing some of our players not so much as bend down to lay a tackle. Jetta goes hard and refuses to lose a contest. If that means he get suspended sometimes, than so be it. Next time, go for that gutless [censored] Scully.

Just when you think it can't get worse, they put on their party hats and yell "surprise". Mark Neeld needs to take himself out of this job. He has killed our players' natural instincts, made us look dumb and slow, plays an untenable game plan and has made me ashamed of this team. Something. Has. To. Give.

That we stuffed up letting our doctor of many years go, and instead hired a dodgy individual? Who is accountable for that?

Ok so you're suggesting it's acceptable for a club doctor to take medical advice from an outsiders then administer supplements, legal or otherwise, without informing so much as Mission? Craig? hell, our coach?Surely someone other than Bate knew about the talks with Dank, in which case, our CEO and our board should have also known. If people in our club are holding information from our board, it shows me that our board isn't strong enough and isn't demanding enough transparency. Either that, or they consistently hire unsuitable individuals who screw them.

Yeah, a kid sneaking out to smoke pot is totes the same as a doctor hiding medical practices from the club. Have you ever worked for a big multi million dollar corporation? The president is ultimately accountable for everything.

Are you friggin serious? It is an utter disgrace that shoddy crap goes on at this club which our president and our board are unaware of. It's almost worse than them knowing and trying to hide it. FFS it's unacceptable. What sort of company lets its employees do what they please without being accountable to management at all times??? I can't even... You are an idiot. No offense. But seriously.

Just. Don't. Even. Know. What. To. Say. Anymore.

Well that's creepy.

I love this club and always will, but right now I don't like it. It's like watching your best friend take heroine and [censored] around and you are helpless to stop them.

I hate everyone.

McLardy has been in the gun long before this latest saga. He leads the board, and yet here we are at another "please explain" moment from the AFL. Like we don't have enough to deal with. The way he fumbled through CS sacking, was enough to tell me that he isn't strong enough to take us anywhere worth going. He may have good intentions, but he isn't right for the job. And please, if anybody at our club even came close to commanding the respect of the players and supporters the way Hird does at Essendon, we'd be a lot better off. Why don't our players rally behind our coach, hey Stuie?
