BIG CHANGES ARE AFOOT Topkent

 

[melbun]

So we've built a team based on contest, just not in the air. #demonspirit

so it seems

We're not very good at that on the ground either. #DNA #Method

It's me dad's team. Soft spot

 

[Dancing Potato]

Thanks for that checks notes..."Registered User".

Time to send Turner back to see if he can learn the art of intercepting.

Or, just keep rolling out old man TMac, which I suspect will be the Goody plan.

I mentioned you in a PM to TheInjuryFactory (relevant username for this topic, too) the other day, Registered User!

To be fair, based on last year and this year so far, Tmac has probably been our best tall back

I actually agree. But at some point we need to accept the season is done and look to the future.

Just popping in to say I hope your boys turn it around against the Dons

This 0-4 business isn't a fun time... take care of your mental and emotional well-beings.

What we wouldn't give for an exciting 54-49 triumph!

Oh we're all smiles over here

My condolences to you all for being equally compelled to watch this game as us.

Over recent years we seem to have mimicked each others game style, simply with our team having less talent.

While the league moves to high pressure, good skills, fast ball movement, we equally seem to have embraced the slow ball movement, high and long kicks forward to outnumbers/no one.

Should be a doozy for the neutral.

Comically I'm actually going over for Gather Round and will be #ATG.

Make sure you take notes on the decaf and pie floater lines for Headless

 

[Lord Nev]

Very selFritsch.

 

[melbun]

I'm thinking the bombers are in better shape than us. Dons by 37

Selection this week will reflect a coach under pressure.

 

[Topkent]

Get ****ed. Shut the **** up and get ****ed. Im so sick of this lol. "We were within 14 points at ¾ time". Yeah because the scores are so ****ing low. Regular scoring game we are 30-40 points behind. 3 goals is massive for us when we kick 8 for a game

Then he talks about how he learns and has fun. It's like the supporters are completely irrelevant and it's all about how much fun he can still have

Small bit about how we chased 21' football for 22 and 23 which might the first time I've heard someone acknowledge it.

 

[mrmonkey]

Knew the game was over when Geelong put 3 goals on the board in the first quarter. Just knew we couldn't keep up at this rate.

 

[jhong]

If the Bombers get going early , good luck stopping them . Given what they did to us last time we played them in Adelaide ,we are stuffed. What do i know , i picked Port over the Saints.

 

[Grimey Sylvia]

They’ll say it’ll be ‘good to get out of the fishbowl of Victoria’, then go to Adelaide and score 53 points.

Don't tease us with the prospect of bringing up the half tonne!

 

[Crusty Demon]

Just wondering how tf we're kicking over 50pts lol. I guess the Bombers defence is s*.

 

[Grimey Sylvia]

Very selFritsch.

Agree with a lot of this. Especially Goodwin being out of form - can he drop himself? Run water or something? Maybe Jessica has the weekend off to step in...

 

[Topkent]

Dropping Fritsch would be so us. Play the shittest most boring game plan of all time and then blame the talented players who can't thrive in it

 

[Crusty Demon]

He's getting shots on goal. He's never been a run and chase forward or a high accumulator. Usually an accurate kick. Kick straight and he'd be averaging a couple a game. Fritta isn't our problem.

Maybe I'll be the inverse "woohoo" guy and try to get close enough to the cameras and do really loud groans every time we inevitably burn inside 50s for fun

You MUST do this. For science.
