If anything was good to see Weitering continue his confidence building. Liked Kemp's game for the most part. Good effort from Dow even though the game was shot.
Where is Weitering’s leadership and not playing on the bombers best forward. Young is shit and shouldn’t play again but the coach and Weitering should take responsibility
 
I don't quite know how to write this.

The club, the team have left me broken.

Every week I turn up to have my heart broken.

I can't anymore.

I am taking a break from the team, from my weekly torment. Maybe for the rest of the season.

I have a young family, kids to focus on, relatives with serious health concerns.

I have been here for well over a decade, and a diehard beforehand, but football is no refuge for me anymore.

Love you all, keep fighting, I will be back when I can.

Hey, I didn’t know the president came on here
 
No way Ed plays again! Like seriously we need to mix up this slow ass midfield, get Dow starting, put J Boyd in there, give Cripps a couple weeks off (he’s cooked) Piss young off! I honestly don’t know where we go from here!!!!!
Held Merrett to 8 touches in the first half, great job.

Merrett went6 forward Curnow didnt follow.

HMM wonder why Coach didnt say follow him all night, follow him into the shitter..
 
* me we have some soft supporters

Yes this is is hard and ugly, but grow some balls. We have to keep working through this s**t because you just drown in it.

The list is a lot better than where we are atm. This season unfortunately is looking done, so let’s start on next year.

How many years are we going to say this? We have been underperforming for over 20 years now.

I’m just glad they let us down before the bye this year. It’s so much easier on the soul.

I just cant see the way forward . Club needs to make some tough decisions to turn it around and i am confident they dont have the ticker to do it.

This is the worst rebuild in history, 8 years and we dont look anywhere near it.
 
Charlie Curnow is a Dumb Footballer..
 
Voss keeps using the word ‘nourished’ during the post-match presser. It must be a strange tic of his. Here’s some examples I’ve transcribed:

‘I felt nourishment from our consistent effort notwithstanding the result’

‘Our ball movement was ungainly at times, but the desire to move the ball quickly was immensely nourishing for me’

‘The group is definitely united. If I had to use one word to describe how the players are feeling at the moment it would be nourished’

‘I received nourishment from our determination to win it at the contest in the last quarter’

‘The boys are yearning for success and the nourishment that comes from it’

‘I think I’m the right man for the job. I won’t listen to outside noise. I’m here to inject nourishment into this playing group. I want these boys to be nourished by me’
Maybe he should consider a role pivot? Become the clubs nutritionist perhaps?
 
Did our team play tennis during the off season, we would have the worst skills in the AFL as a team. The whole coaching group needs the go.
 
We need to follow the Hawthorn example. Everyone said they were crazy to trade away Mitchell, O'Meara and Gunston and they'd struggle to avoid the spoon. But they've ripped off the band-aid, and are looking up, just a few short years since their three flags. At least we're now stripped of any illusions. Accept trades for anyone on our list over 25, and see if we can turn that into a couple of first-round picks to go alongside the pick 3 we seem destined for. Force PA's hand and make an offer to J.Carr as coach. Development year in 24 and target finals in 25
 
They aren’t easy shots though. Either from 50 on the run or snaps under pressure.

It’s our forward entry’s which are putrid causing the points.

Either way we are absolutely cooked.
At least it’s a 50/50 and * were scoring from the same positions.

Doesn’t matter how much I spout my mouth on a football forum about kicking, nothing will change anyway.
 
I suspect Crippa has been worn down by our reliance on him, much like happened with Juddy. Too much heavy lifting left to one person and eventually they don't have it anymore.

I think he was broken by thr end of last year. The tribunal, then two insane games (where he threw everything he had at it) and ultimate disappointment, then the brownlow.

The end to last year was bad at the time but i think it has broken the players, and our response hasnt dealt with it.
 
So what happened during the half time break? We went from a committed team up to to half time to virtually missing in the first half of the 3rd quarter. Serious mental side issues.
Scott made some changes and Voss stood there like a stunned mullet, had no idea what to do. His coaching record will soon be worse than Teague’s.
