  1. That is what I take out of the season so far, we don’t seem unified. I wouldn’t call it selfishness, maybe individuals are trying too hard to be the ā€˜I need to do something to get us going’ type of thing. In 2021 we didn’t talk off the field, we just did. Early rounds of 2021 in a game against the Cats I remember we laid 6 tackles in the last 31 seconds of the game and we were up by 4-5 goals. This season we can barely pressure the ball carrier.
  2. I hope we don’t set up to minimise the ā€˜damage’, screw that i say. We were well and truly in the game at 3/4 time on Sat night and to watch us sit back early in the last like the Italian national soccer team of the 90s defending a 1-0 lead was excruciating. The game was there to be won and we should’ve been attacking to win it. People pay a lot of money for memberships and to watch that was beyond frustrating. No wonder supporters are fed up.
  3. I can’t stand rotations. Fritta gets some confidence back playing out of the goal square in the 3rd and jags a couple of quick ones then he’s taken off. Momentum stifled. Then he’s put up the ground again.
  4. That was a [censored] joke. Why are we sitting back ffs
  5. I’d sub Conca and Chaplin in. Can’t be any worse off
  6. Nothing grinds my gears more than seeing the opposition win a ground ball off a stoppage in our defensive 50. Hobbs allowed to just waltz in the first time and miss, then minutes later he bobs up again with a goal. We are just getting killed all over the field when the ball hits the deck.
  7. What a goal Ah Chee
  8. Rafa’s had a decent quarter
  9. And also drops some absolute sitters, surprised no one has gone down the he would fit in perfectly at the MFC.
  10. Lol, that’s the spirit
  11. That rule came in about 6 years ago SWYL
  12. Nowhere near our 2021 version. They still need to defend a lot better, don’t think we ever had 78 points scored against us half way through a third quarter in 21.
  13. Are you suggesting Jeffo being on the ground solely to give JVR or Fullarton (if selected) a break then back off after they’ve had their 5 or so mins on the bench or ruck duties per quarter? Modern footy just does not work like that. No one is selected in the 22 to give players breaks. I could be misinterpreting what you’re saying though.
  14. Noah Fritsch ? Ghosty does. Congrats Fritta
  15. My question wasn’t directed at you so to speak, the term move player X to the bench is used a lot here and you just reminded me to ask the question. Your meaning of moving Jeffo to the bench is having him in the starting 23?
  16. I’m curious, when people mention player ā€˜X’ on bench do they actually mean ā€˜bench’, like the good old days of sitting on the pine for 2 1/2 quarters? Cause there is no bench these days, players are on after 5 mins.
  17. We’re not putting it into the net Ethan.
  18. For crying out loud, please don’t mention the soccer ball as it seems to give some more reason to complain. Lie next time and say they were playing croquet, see how that’s received.
  19. Interesting, for as long as we’ve had Goody the main sesh has always been 3 days before a game, not two.
  20. Absolutely a mark, how did they fudge that up?
  21. You know I honestly thought Rivers would go close to winning the B & F after I saw his preseason. I understand with a new game plan implementation comes some confusion and cohesion issues, but that doesn’t include attempting to take a speccie like the one you try and take over your little bro in the backyard. The ball was 30 metres away for crying out loud. Some of the brain fades are gobsmacking.
  22. Poor Goody, we seem short of answers at the moment. Kinda reminds me of the time Homer Simpson wanted to work from home controlling the nuclear reactor. Press any key to continue. ā€œWhere’s the Any Key?ā€
  23. Has to be Chandler since moving to the wing. Outsized by Dempsey, but still busted a gut and won some 50/50 contests.
  24. He played wing all game, wish they put him in the forward line for a bit. We had no one roving when the ball hit the deck.
