  1. I really love his in game smarts. Knows how to hold up play, draw professional free kicks when he's in a 50/50 he was bound to lose etc etc. Like having a coach out there. Great pick up.
  2. A lot of venting on here, i'm sick of losing too. I think most of us pre-season would have liked to see the Dees in games longer, and the odd upset here and there. So far this is how the season is panning out (taking away the west coast game). We are coming from a long way back, we have to remember this. The fact I was still getting excited about winning a game in the last quarter was good. Sad but true. #DeesLife
  3. I really can't believe how well Dawesy is playing considering he had no preseason. He is so much better than i rated him at collingwood.
  4. The current philosophy of holding the ball is just wrong and against the spirit of the game. If you try to be first to the ball and get pinged a second later and dont pretend to handball thats holding the ball, but how many times yesterday would a player make a huge effort to chase and dispose of the ball yet not get penalised?
  5. JKH was getting in the way in the forward line in the first half but grew in confidence when he started to pick up some possessions further upfield.
  6. Georgio is a depth full back but I love his tackling. He tackles to hurt. Some of our players need to learn this.
  7. Nathan Jones is getting better every week. He is unbelievable! Surely AA this year.
  8. How many quarters like this have we seen in recent years. So many soft efforts.
  9. Is this a stress related injury or from a collision? Seems to be a trend at this club. Even Grimes had something like this didn't he? We never get someone injured for 2-3 weeks. Its either a year, or retirement.
  10. Is Dawes come straight how can't Jamar come straight in? A 50% Jamar is still better than spencer.
  11. This games already over. We may as well be paying 500 bucks at the Tab.
  12. Sorry, but the way i interpret this is, if you want me to leave, you're gonna have to pay 800k.
  13. I am sick of wondering if we will go through a season winless. We deserve better.
  14. I just don't understand how we end up this hopeless and bereft of confidence every year at a point where we should really be up and about. We play the game like losers.
  15. The way I look at it, we have 12 AFL standard players, and 5 of them aren't playing.
  16. Is paul roos the only person In the world that thinks chipping the ball around the wings with no intention of ever kicking inside 50 is a good plan to win footy games?
  17. Can't even kick a goal against GWS. Putting new players up forward and giving them just as little chance.
  18. Howe isn't giving his all in my opinion. Brad Green, Brad Johnson, these guys played tall, and Howe is a much better mark than them. There's no reason why he can't be kicking 3-4 goals a week. Has he even kicked one this year?
  19. Playing players in different positions. We ARE tanking then! That explains a lot.
  20. Roos had every right to be angry. I was. First time I've left early since 2005 elimination against geelong. I wouldn't have cared if this was an isolated performance, but this is the norm for us. I left because I've had enough watching these VFL quality players (at best) getting paid big bucks to fluff the most basic of skills. I feel exactly the same as Roos. Seriously get your S*** together. You were drafted as football players. Start acting accordingly.
