Biffen

Beyond Blue?

I'm Biffen and I was talking to players-not demonlanders . I want Neeld to do the boxing thing for our guys-first up Davey versus Magner. Midfield class is one problem amongst many . One highlight is that we haven't peaked at the wrong time.

It isn't only the mids. Our backs should be able to handle pressure- they have plenty of experience .

Just on Rivers and Garland . How can you be caught BEHIND continually from 15-50mteres from goal and caught in FRONT on the long bomb 0-15 metres from goal when you draw an income as a backman? Rivers will sit 2 metres behind on a slow lead ,make a feeble spoil ,hang his head as they guy goes back ,watch him kick a goal ,then watch the replay on the screen . I can do that for $100 a week if you want . I'm 39 but I'll make them earn it more than our lot .

Just stay home with your kids Aaron -have another one even .We'll just keep paying into your account and you can watch it on telly . Just read the article on the Age about our club chaplain who has been with us since '97.(what a Jinx) Another parasite on the payroll . Harden up men . People die all the time. Focus on ripping the heart out of the opposition-they are the ones who are trying to kill you and this club. The other article was about not blaming the Stynes factor . Generation WHY?

Forget Morton please Good Times- not again ,not until he has suffered . Tappy yes please . Couch-why not Bennell -pace ,skill and accountability would be good .

Can we continue to pick Bartram ,McKenzie ,Joel Mac ,Bail who have the right attitude normally but not the required level of skill? Can we pick guys who have the skill but not the attitude ?ie Green and Davey ,even Rivers Just hope the coach gets the boxing gloves out and puts them in a circle and calls out two at a time for two minutes each. Wake up you [censored] .This is my club you are destroying and embarrassing .

On days like that I'd be happy to see an all out brawl with fists and reports . But our guys are not even up for that . What a soft bunch of girls they are . I really am over last years leaders-were they on strike? Rivers ,Garland ,Green ,Moloney ,Davey and Jamar dont want it anymore-they just want our money . Batram ,McKenzie ,Bail ,MacDonald aren't good enough and never will be .

Do people seriously think Rivers and Garland can avoid blame every week? Sorry but there is always space betwwen them and their direct opponent . And they are always behind .

Sorry but bringing Morton straight in is only going to make me angrier and more depressed.We are in for a long season.

I remember when it was 6 for $3 . It's all gone to the dogs .

Yep. You are right . Request a refund .The guys dropped from the LG can pay it back to you .

He was openly ridiculed today on radio .He has 4 kids to feed .Sure doesn't play like it .

I'm willing to drag Garland and Frawley through the mud today . Demonland never knocks them but I am going to state the unstated . They are all at sea in the air and get out of position way too much. Blame the mids again if you want but the golden boys need a few kicks up the arse as well . Good backmen dont need an excuse to keep a man goal less .

Would love to blame the Jimmy factor and probably will when I reflect. Sorry to say this- but we knew Jimmy would not be around to inspire us forever . New leaders must emerge and be vocal on the ground (not go into their shells) .

Grasping at figures for signs of hope is a sad part of our post mortems . There is no effectiveness in our tackles if they dont actually stop a player doing what he wants. Handballs and kicks to another player are useless if they are spoilt /crap or out of bounds . To give a player a stat when all our stats are "catch up" means nothing . When will the players learn to get the stats on the scoreboard ? Half tackles have cost us everything for the past year.But they get rewarded on the stat sheet . A tackle has to drive a player out of the action and stop him from wanting to go near the ball . A kick has got to advantage the next player . A shepherd has got to stop the next chase . It's all half-arsed currently . Just divided ,indecisive ,unspirited ,and false . This is our wake up call .

The wedding stopped me from screaming at the top of my voice at the radio in the car and scaring my poor wife .I forgot about it all until I found out we didn't come out and kick ten in the last quarter .I am retarded for having any hope at all .Sorry for my wild predictions .This is as bad as the 186 in my opinion .Mass sackings are no good either .I wonder if we should get a lawyer and sue the players from last years LG for failure to perform their contracts .( ie Try and win).Sack em and go with even more youth upon youth .F>>K them off .(Or are we gonna here about an adverse Jimmy factor?).Am I out of control or are they taking the urine?Why is there no Rivers or Green or Davey screaming and frothing when we are down? Is it uncool to scream at your loose men? WTF is going on with these 26-27 year old plus players?

Everyone looks crap to me when we lose like that .10 touches in a losing game( in a 1/4) still means Bate was better than every other player and we still want to sack him .Anyone know how to tie a good noose?

I noticed in the first 1/2 we did not "stick a tackle".I'm very nearly over it .I'm surprised we have 30000 members .And I'm positive normally . Atrocious.

Just got home from a wedding .At 3Q time on the radio it was grim before the 4pm wedding (nearly 3/4 time) by reading this axe weilding talk I am guessing it is somewhere near 10 goals to them and our elder statesman are just pathetic .Tell me the score please fellow sufferers .

So do I but he does need to win his own pill a bit more .He'll come good.

I also wish that this wedding was somehow cancelled so I could go to the game . Who gets married on a Saturday at 4pm on round 1? Disgraceful?

Wrong .Swan cannot kick a drop punt .Better by hand ,as with Judd .

I want a10 goal plus win .

This argument is getting boring . Moloney is our best player .I say hes better .Most of you dont . Swan gets tonnes of ball but doesn't hit targets .Judds skills aren't that silky either .Trengove is a better kick than all of the above . Go buy yourselves a Tigers scarf and get a face tatt .
