Viney must be injured..  ranked our 8th worst player in a horrible team performance.

This can't be the real Jack.

Calf

Goody will make some huge, huge changes next week. Billings to start. Laurie sub.

They are so shiiite scared of turning the ball over and getting caught that they just panic the ball off any which way.

A team completely devoid of confidence, skills, run and high pressure.

How did we become this bad in four weeks of footy?

It's actually been a lot longer than that DD. We won the Premiership because (not only) we played with a great deal of dare. Each season since has seen less and less dare and wanting to adhere to a strict game plan. Consequently, we're always, always, always reactive rather than pro-active.

McQualter can probably leave season's end.

Ethan’s Wishlist:

- Make N. Daicos earn a hardball. 
- Flatten Maynard.

- Break one of Hoskin-Elliot’s arms.

- Stop kicking it out on the full.

- Clarry to get involved.

- Man up in their forward 50. 
- Fritz take a mark, kick a goal. 

Crazy talk

Do hope I'm wrong, but other than Frankston reflector- beach shades, not sure the young lad offers a real point of difference.

Fixed. Off to eat a bit of humble pie. 

Just now, whatwhat say what said:

think yr gonna end up very wrong

his attack on the ball and his workrate defensively are excellent

just needs to develop the engine to play as a mid in the afl

I really hope I am JNWWS. It wouldn't be the first time!! Spoke to him at the Casey/Port match a number of weeks ago and terrific kid.

Rory Lobb effort...diabolical

Rory Lobb plays as an ineffective small. Bit of a problem when you're selected as a tall.

Match Review Officer Michael Christian has slapped the first-year midfielder with a two-game suspension for the act, rendering him ineligible to win this year’s Rising Star award.

Christian assessed the incident as careless conduct, high impact and high contact, resulting in the two-match sanction.

Pity that he couldn't show the same degree of clarity last year. How is he still in a job? Threatening to resign because his former club could lose Maynard for a final was a low point for even the AFL

I'd like to start the Post Game thread please. 

And I'd like to start with 'WTF....'

Can't believe I'm saying this, but not making finals could be a blessing in disguise.

He’s a player.  Will debut early next year.  Another GC17 Gift from the AFL.  Suns get yearly ACADEMY PICKS and also NGA Darwin picks.  Huge bonus especially as Academy can be automatically matched by the Duns.  

Spirit, thanks for the info. It just feels so wrong.

Reckon he's 39

Is he playing in the wrong number? 

I reckon he is. Just saw him make a spoil but not sure he was 42

Lombard looks sensational

You cannot tell me Ollie Sestan offers less than Billings. Play him. Find out.

Here's the good news: we now must play Jefferson. We now must give new recruits a game ahead of Billings - i.e. Tholstrup. It's now patently obvious that our current team being selected is lacking.

We don't deserve top 4, the way we are playing and the luck some of the other teams have (see Port and Collingwood). We will be lucky to play finals. 

Unless things change drastically we are not a contender this season, simple as that.

I read your posts and I want to contact the boss of Guinness Book of World Records. If there's a record for relentlessly posting "we're doomed, we're doomed, don't you know we're doomed" posts, surely you've just surpassed it El Diatribe.

Have you thought about one per quarter?

Genuinely, there are a backlines in the VFL that are better than Norths.
