Norm Smith's Curse

I must admit after years of defending the club im starting to waver myself... Something doesnt seem right.

Was expecting a monday morning ribbing but someone tells me that he heard that half the team has had the flu the last two weeks? any truth to that?

magners a rookie so someone would need to be on injury list. Max Gawn monstered it at VFL level. There is some hope.

Nice to see tappscott kicking a bag

the heading says it all - what are they thinking?

The other favourite is 'a few home truthes'

Why do you care so much? Are you on the board? I dont snipe the board but clearly something is wrong with the club and being a public forum people can conclude what ever they like. These two people contribute regularly on the forum and ive never had a problem with anything they write. Would you prefer we sit here and sing the praises of the board, coaching panel and playing group? Do you think it just comes down to culture? What would YOU do to fix where we are at?

I can tell you one thing - Neil Craig is a professional - probably one of the best at what he does - he is the least of our problems.

Jnr!

instead of sniping how about some football insights. Got any of them?

Do you just get on here to snipe at people? got anything related to football to say or are you just about calling people weak and of low character because they react to continual failure? Guess what mate - people can react anyway they like. If your ok with where the club is at that is fine - if you want to defend everyone at the club that is fine - but your incessant sniping is really starting to get annoying. Honestly dealing with where the club is at is hard enough without some random bloke getting on and abusing people for venting their spleen. if you dont like it mate talk footy or go somewhere else.

if you have two 18 year olds and three players playing their second game your gonna struggle no matter who is coaching. Slyvia must stay in the midfield.

yeah i saw that. I felt the same way

Daniher was a good coach. We've never been the same since we lost Scott Thompson.

Yeah true Interesting that they had sylvia forward until nearly half time and Trenners forward as well. Seemed a little odd to me.

I know who should be dropped, but they were reincluded for round 2 dispite dismal efforts in round 1. And some were players I wouldnt have selected based on preseason form.

Moving mitch clark into the midfield and Jeremy Howe into defense seemed desperate, but in some small way it worked initially - Clark got two centre clearances, Howe took some intercepting marks (but couldnt keep his feet).

Sorry an utterly ridiculous post title LOL. But our midfield was in part manned by 3 second gamers, two 18 years of age. We were never going to be in this match...

Get Jnr back at the club as midfield coach - mend old wounds and he is an awesome bloke.

Spencer and Joel MacDonald - strange days here we come!

It was an interesting (though utterly painful) game to watch but my brother in law asked me - who actually had a crack last night and I was wondering. Id have to say Matt Jones did, Jeremy Howe did, Aaron Davey did, Frawley early

Bring back barassi!

I think there could be something to this. But how do you rectify it?

Could agree more with this post. Spencer aint pretty but he has a crack, he doesnt back down and he has second efforts. he should be in the side. Jamar never taps to advantage, got soundly beaten and just kept on doing the same thing over and voer.

Possibly, but the cat's out of the bag...
