Die Hard Demon

Freo look trash. Amazing how we always make them look like world beaters.

Am i the only one happy about this? We were the 2nd worst performing midfield this year in terms of clearances. Glad our hands forced to bring in a new midfield coach - only up from here

They’d be maaaaad to trade away their early picks for Trac. They need to go hard at early picks to have any chance at a solid rebuild before tassie comes in. They will be rubbish for a long time with or without Trac.

Clarry speculation last year. Petracca this year.. Crazy how much turbulence this club is enduring after actually winning a flag. I can’t handle months of waiting, watching & speculating again. Absolute joke.

Would explain why he’s always helping them off the deck, giving them bum taps & laughing with them post match. Even that scum maynard.

Stop giving him the benefit of the doubt. By playing him we risk injuring him anyway & there goes any trade value. Imagine if he does an ACL. Will get nothing for him. We’ve known for a whole month. Would much rather get games into Kynan Brown.

Zero tackles from Nibbler.. Hmm that’s unusual. Perhaps preserving himself for his next club.

Genuinely gutted. What great timing to get the eff out of a club with growing concerns though. Well played Nibbler - Good luck to him in his chapter.

We won’t lose another final in 2024

No wonder our crowds are so poor. We play such a negative, dour brand of footy. Absolute yawn fest tonight 🥱

Yeh maybe he’s had the flu all year …

bad night? that’s all i expect from Clarry in 2024. Pretty standard

Clarry doesn’t want to be out there. Missed tackles, overrunning the football, just getting rid of it at all costs. He’s a liability. Would’ve much rathered seen Kynan Brown get a gig. Desperate for tackles that stick atm

Clarry can get [censored].. that’s 5 missed tackles. Absolutely pathetic

We’re doing very well considering we’re a man down

Fullers was emergency last weekend. Which means he was close to getting a game. Is the MOST obvious call up for a guy who would be playing for his life. Just frustrated & dumbfounded with the decision to leave him out. [censored]

Messages received loud and clear! Lay a game saving tackle and risk getting dropped! .. Hope the boys learn from that 😒

It’s been creeping into a lot of players this very issue. Was as blatant as it gets, and might actually force the AFL to stop getting sucked in. Surprised Clarry didn’t get scolded for his stage aswell. Hate that our players feel they need to milk free kicks. Desperate times.

Free kicks were 24 to 27. Had nothing to do with how we capitulated in that last quarter. You can blame the coach and team trying to protect the lead. Pathetic

we’re giving it to north

Is fritsch out there?

Dr’s used to send players back on with concussions back in the days. It’s about learning & getting better.

He’s got a point though.. Injuries were comparable to a car crash & life threatening. I genuinely think this was mishandled by Melb doctors. I felt sick to the stomach seeing him out there. It’s not about going on a witch hunt to torch the dees. It’s about setting higher standards & protocols across the AFL so these situations don’t happen again. Someone explained that broken ribs become severely sharp bones within the body & can damage internal organs.. The ruptured spleen & punctured lung may have happened after going back on. So thankful Trac didn’t die.

If we’re comfortably up in this game, there’s no way we’d risk bringing him back on. This was horribly mismanaged by club dr’s & staff imo. It felt like pure desperation to do whatever it took to get the win. The fact that CP was visibly still in agony before being sent back out makes it hard to think otherwise.
