Loved nank chipping it to a lions player in f50 TWICE for 2 goals

I was at the game and we were just lifeless, totally flat and looked slow.
The post bye flatness is definitely a thing, some players might have had the flu also if we’re looking for some more reasons why we looked lifeless.

Add to that the fact Brisbane are a very good team at the Gabba this year and you get the result we got.

And just remember this Brisbane team after their bye got beat by Hawthorn by 25 points.

Considering all those things let’s not over react and condemn half our list, let’s see how they respond next week.

Positives were I went to the bar at half time and got to see Steve Smith make his hundred.

 

[Danog]

Positives... at least Banks and Brown should get a ****ing go now.

 

[TRUMAN#1]

Wow.

just got home from the game.

Disgraceful effort from our players.I found it hard to pick a good player tonight.

Vlastain was probably our best imo.

Hopper only in patches.

I love Judson Clarke, but I felt he shat the bed a lot tonight.

Jack is a liability.

Short going hurt us, but still wouldn't have helped much.

So now we know McQualter won't get the job who do we want?

worst we have played for a long time.

Why did we bone sydney stack last year when he would have played a lot better some of our old timers tonight?

He boned himself
He had all the chances he deserved and then some but couldn’t pull out the finger

 

[tiger_tough]

Hard to judge the forwards with the absolute belting our midfield got but Riewoldt, Miller and Ryan were all putrid.

SURELY we had a few blokes crook with the flu? How can we have Hopper, Cotchin, Taranto and Bolton in the middle amd get slapped so hard? They all looked shocking bar Broad, Vlastuin and Balta.

Finals are still on the cards campaigners. Continue playing the best available. Conceding is for pussies.

 

[voorhees]

terrible nite for the team..
great to see Hopper back and having a crack, Ross , Vlastuin and broad tried hard.
can accept the loss, it's the getting spanked we should never accept

Won’t judge mini on that alone. We beat gws and freo away. Want to see a response. Got Sydney, West Coast, Hawks next. We loose 2/3 of those I’m out

 

[Triggering Tiger]

I know he was bit of a headcase but we are also to blame not helping him out more with his issues. He had too much talent to just delist him like that.

 

[Tiges1229]

I love jack as much as the next man but he's cooked right now and we can't play him next year.

Yep unfortunately no way he should play 2024 , I mean he looked totally cooked and that’s after a bye week

 

[Freddy Swift]

That was our worst performance for the year easily. May as well have stayed in Melbourne.

Someone needs to take Balta aside and tell him a man’s got to know his limitations. He tries to do too much and stuffs it up.

 

[domin8]

Without running the risk of making excuses I wonder if any others were affected by Dusty’s flu? We were flat and fumbly. Haven’t been that bad in a long time

 

[lizard man]

Without rubbybg the risk of making excuses I wonder if any others were affected by Dusty’s flu? We were flat and fumbly. Haven’t been that bad in a long time

We should mandate flu shots for all our players

 

[tunksy]

Byes sucks

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Mini made no adjustments. Not a good night..

Only thing he adjusted was his mortgage repayments back out to a 30 year term. He is no chance now.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Hope Punter is okay, sounds alright.
They had a break-in in Brighton, moved to Toorak.

Nope , imo players go away on bye and just lose focus, I rekon majority get on the Piss or nose beers etc . Was always going to be hard to win without Martin and Prestia to , but to lose like we did with the importance of the game / season is just undone all the good work of the last 4 weeks , tonight was weak as piss, we should have come out breathing fire , but yet we come out like a pack of stonera finishing up an arvo shift at revolver .

 

[AstuteTiger]

Put this in the Cumberland thread but thought to also put it here and added a little extra.

Anyone having a go at Cumberland needs to widen the lens of all players in that forward line.
He's played 16 games. First game back in a month. Thought he presented well taking 5 marks and kicking a goal. Had 7 disposals.

Now let's compare the others, Clarke who tried hard but didn't use it well. Dropped marks like it was a wet night. DE46%
Jack 6 disposals, 1 mark 0 scoreboard
Ryan 5 disposals, 2 marks 0 scoreboard
Miller 4 disposals, 3 marks 0 scoreboard
Pickett 9 disposals, 1 mark 0 scoreboard

, is having more average games than good. How he escapes scrutiny is beyond me. 11 disposals, 2 tackles, and 1 point.

Cumberland out of the 7 forwards was our best which shows how poor the others were, and Clarke was 2nd even though he turned it over but played with some spark.

From our 7 forwards listed above. 3 tackles between them all. 2 to Graham and 1 to Pickett. It's why I wanted Maurice Junior in, his frenetic pressure and closing the space quickly denies opposition players to waltz the ball out easily. We saw it last week v Saints.

Some other players:
Almost forgot Macintosh, 10 disposals on the wing is just not good enough.
Cotchin had a good game last week but was poor tonight with 14 disposals, 0 clearances, and 2 tackles.

no toast for anyone from me. that was dog shit.

[Turka]

I’m not feeling a lot of anger, which is good…It’s not worth getting down about, shit happens…Especially if it’s Brisbane at home…Enjoy the other eight games over the weekend…Keep away from the HUN…And Kanye Kornes…Tigers…

Was always likely to happen. Bin it and move on
