This game ended our season.

Whatever changes we might think need to be made, Wicks and Bell got a lot of the ball in reserves, so probably expect to see them come in this week.

Imagine it'll be Campbell and Stephens to make way. McLean will probably get in off the back of 1 good week.

Blergh.

Both Bell and Wicks wracked it up but their footy IQ is not what it needs to be.

Prefer to give Roberts a crack over both

What an awful performance. Goal kicking was atrocious. Stephens has to be done at afl level. Mills weak too, and Lloyd back to squibbing.

It is impossible to have faith in this side…..impossible.

Yeah, just going with history.

2. Targeting Buddy + Papley + Heeney every time we go forward.

It's time to cut the cord on Buddy at the end of this season.
Yes he still has some goals in him but the new era needs to be given time.

Lloyds decisions at time are just wtf moments.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

David King just said we are frauds.

Nods in agreement

If we're suddenly clamouring for Clarke after one game when he got written off 3 years ago then Stephens is in for a long and prosperous career.

 

[Blacky]

Forget finals

Just put games into the kids

 

[Bloods86]

No. I'm one who has pretty much written him (Clarke) off on having a (much) longer AFL career. But when you put in at reserves level every game, get rewarded, do your job, get dropped, and we put in a stinker, it's a fair thing to raise.

 

[Dan87]

+/- Cunningham our best 22 today imo

 

[Blacky]

We should have traded Papley

 

[Tedeski]

I don't want McVeigh, Cox, or Pyke as our coach after Horse.
We need fresh blood like McCrae at Pies.
God knows who that will be. We can become the new Carlton.

He should walk back in this week.

 

[Kapers]

I preferred it when we were talking about toasties

We were bad today absolutely, never said we were better than them today. But we are better than Essendon overall which is why I think this one of our worse losses for ages. Still don't think it's season over but we are making it pretty bloody hard for ourselves.

 

[Kapers]

Not going to watch anymore afternoom games, absolutely butchers my day, and the swans seemingly don't want to play afternoons anyway.

 

[Wolfgang West]

When push comes to shove we don’t have the urgency needed to be competitive week in week out

Correct nor the ****ing steel. Been great Longmire but talent being pissed up against the wall. Needs to be taken to the next level. Stagnating.

 

[Mister B]

Sorry. But we can **** right off with that thread title. There was nothing brave about that. It was weak, gutless, lazy, selfish crap. Not brave.

The fact we have so many players that can’t kick at goal is an indictment on our skills coach.

The fact we consistently concede runs of 5-6 goals is an indictment on everyone from coaches to players.

The fact that our zone was picked apart for 3 quarters and not a ****ing thing changed is an indictment on the coach.

The fact that we got torched in the middle by a bunch of downhill skiing ****wits who sleep with the light on is an indictment on the midfield group.

Pathetic. I have no trust that we will win any of our remaining games including against North.

Show some ****ing heart.

 

[kickthething]

Goalkicking reflects out mental toughness…..we missed way too many easy shots at goal and kept Essendon in it to eventually cop what we deserved

Ithink you may find it is a very sarcastic title…..

 

[Wolfgang West]

I'm ashamed today. 20 years of supporting and I've never seen such a piss poor display

Not far behind you. They roll over far to easy. When challenged go to water. 16 points up half way through the last was never going to be enough. Not enough backbone.

 

[Dangas]

What did I just watch live? Lost for words. Stringer, can't stand the bloke.
