Die Hard Demon

LOL we lost to Freo on our home deck. Freo are rubbish. We’re at least a 5 goal better side. I’d be still disappointed if we just fell over the line against them. Time to get ruthless as a club. We’ve got a soft underbelly as players & fans.

Our supporters are about as soft as our players.. I hate collingwood fans as much as the next bloke. But geez they generate so much more electricity & energy in a match, which really brings out the teams best.

I think it’s the opposite.. majority of fans are clearly ropeable.. Players will be like ah gee freo are a great side & we nearly won.. that’s probably good enough!

The blues have a great list on paper just as we do.. And are as out of form as what we are. Anyone’s game. Certainly a lot less confident as I was with the game today. Doesn’t bode well..

Can people stop looking for excuses. This is what always separates the best teams from the worst. Freo are a middle of the road team at best. This thread is a knee jerk reaction to the knee jerk reactions.

Please god no.. If we’re playing Tommo we might aswell just fly the white flag.

Freo are not a good team.

Thanks for ruining my bday dees.

Embarrassing. To let an average football team show you up on your home deck twice in 2 years is an absolute disgrace.

good point

This score line is not the umpires fault.. we are playing negative & uninspiring footy. Our game plan is playing right into their hands. No dare.

no chance were winning this. haven’t really looked likely all day.

Gee we lack polish & look lackluster.. We’re playing boundary side too often, bombing it into our 50, very predictable.. Playing into their hands.

If we lose to Freo, i’m calling it season over.

no respect for the hawks that quarter

The club has to appeal this decision. Absolute [censored] joke of a decision. The whole “took his eyes off the ball” narrative is being misinterpreted as a bad thing.. JVR clearly took a duty of care to ensure he knew where the opponent was so as to avoid punching him in the head.. The momentum of Ballard coming forward carried him into JVR’s bicep. A total football accident.

why do we always let that little weasel parish play so well against us!? We look slow & disinterested atm, bloody fire up! I thought we loved playing adelaide oval.

Awful call. What are you basing his “nothing” game on? only having 12 disposals? Langdon had 14.. should we drop him also? .. Hunters 12 touches were damaging. 3 score involvements, 75% efficiency & i saw him on numerous occasions do the 1 percenters. And considering how dominant his preseason was, he’s only going to get better. Not sure why the anti hunter sentiment.. But you’ll eat your words in no time.

Richmond have obviously spent more time in the off season practicing how to tap to each other rather than kick to each other.

Thanks for the great reports guys. Just one thing to note. Josh Schache’s nickname at the club is Diesel. (As in Shaquille O’Neal’s nickname)

No max unfortunately :(

Out walking my dog at Fawkner Park this morning, turned around to see the whole (almost) team just rock up and start running laps to the sound of Goody’s booming voice. So good to see for a Saturday morning! The buy-in is awesome to see. I’ll report anything I can. Go Dees!!!

well none of what you just said is in the official AFL rules so idfk

mate.. the rule clearly states that you’re allowed to rush a behind if you under immediate pressure. The mark has nothing to do with it.
