Review Good, Bad, f.U.G.L.Y. v Dees

[NTRabbit]

We paid overs for Gibbs

No, the problem there is that we ****ed up the easiest of sure things by trading him in a season late. We had to pay the asking price a season earlier, and instead we got him the season after our year in contention in order to draft a bunch of nothing.

 

[Iron]

Worst, most embarrassing performance in recent memory.

There are no positives to take out of today. None.

Fog! Other than that, no

 

[CrowBloke]

Going into finals without

Mate ... we have to make the finals, first.

 

[Big Crow]

Good:
- Talia, Fog, Galluci.

Bad:
- Most others.

Ugly:
- Complete lack of effort from 20 odd blokes. The worst I can remember. Hard to find the words to do it justice
- Mackay goalsquare fumble and goal summed up the day.
- Lever 5 frees for in one half of footy. Umpires came out with a plan, one that they didn’t have for Gibbs vs Carlton. Stitch up comp.

 

[Scorpus]

Also, talk about Groundhog Day.

Just waiting for the presser where it's labelled as "an event, not a trend" and that "nothing went right for us today".

I look forward to us learning nothing and having the same thing happen later in the season

 

[WetCrow1991]

Taking the piss.

 

[Shaz2012]

Ugly: Brian ****ing Taylor. What an absolute knob that bloke is.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Utterly disgraceful performance by nearly every player. Talia can hold his head high and perhaps Crouch but the rest were woeful. No pressure on their ball carriers. How many times did we get out marked?
Gees I hope Seed is ok for next week.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Good enough place to post it:
Gibbs looks like his heart is still over inside the Carlton clubrooms.
And when I've heard him asked about Carlton this year, he talks about them like his heart is still over there. He's happy to be home and that looks about it right now.

 

[Dewy006]

Fogs gonna be some sort of player, that's about the only positive I can come up with. He's the perfect Tex replacement.

 

[GreyCrow]

The Good:
Doedee
Fogarty
Gallucci
The Future

The Bad:
Today
The rest of the year
Mental application
My songs votes


The Ugly:
Mate went home at 3/4 time leaving me to eat all the dessert
So depressed I am going to

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Another premiership window passing by with no glory, what a shock. This club continues to disappoint year after year.

 

[Big Crow]

Ugly:
- Commentators unable to contain their excitement about Melbourne.

 

[hey shorty]

No, the problem there is that we ****** up the easiest of sure things by trading him in a season late. We had to pay the asking price a season earlier, and instead we got him the season after our year in contention in order to draft a bunch of nothing.

The easiest of sure things ?? What the **** are you on.

What difference would he have made in September

 

[Young Gun #6]

We're not even losing the ruck as badly as I thought we would, and Oliver, Viney, and Brayshaw are still thrashing the absolute **** out of our inside midfield.

54-26 Hitouts and 40-28 clearances?

 

[mick500]

Adelaide thoroughly out coached and outplayed to half time. Then what did we do? Absolutely nothing. Changed nothing, got no response. Insipid performance. Happened more than a few occasions under pyke.

I think the game was lost at selection.

Anyone that thinks otten wouldn't have offered more than what brown (2 disposals for the match, God knows how many kicked on him) or Galluci or Poholke is kidding themselves.

It also meant we were locked into a game style that wasn't working and we couldn't change, no versatility considering we are missing Tex and McGovern, I think otten could have been used to at least change structures at half time if nothing else.

Instead we just continued on with the same crap for 4 qtrs and got what we deserved.

Oh, and Hartigan had a shocker. Cost us about 7 when the ball was getting pumped in. Bloke can not handle pressure. Still we persist.

 

[deeztreez]

What a stinker of a weekend. Riccardo on pole bloody better win tonight

 

[Tex200]

Good

Flags aren't won at Traeger Park in May.
VFL media will now saturate itself with D's

Bad

Loss of %. Were never going to win but needed to guard that %.

Ugly

David - oh my.....

 

[FantasticShirt]

Fog and Talia solid. Crouch tried all day. Not as clean as usual but good result coming back from injury.

Rest were woeful.

Poholke should never play another game of AFL. He’s not good enough and shows no signs of being up to it.

 

[NTRabbit]

54-26 Hitouts and 40-28 clearances?

And yet it still could have been worse, if Gawn had gotten as much of the ball as Grundy did.

The easiest of sure things ?? What the **** are you on.

What difference would he have made in September

You're kidding yourself if you don't think inserting Gibbs into our GF team at the expense of basically any other mid would not have changed the result

 

[Carmo]

God the commentators irritate me, they're meant to know about footy but wen it comes to us, they never seen to realise we're like the girl with the curl, when we're bad we're really really bad. Collingwood looked a million bucks against us, but was it them being good or is being abysmal. Well look how well they've done since.

We put extra numbers back in defense only late in the first, and besides the last that was the only other patch where we win. But we don't or won't play that style because it doesn't work......hmm..............

Umpiring was terrible.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

We are tired mentally and physically.

We have had two really draining games in a row. the showdown an emotional roller coaster. The bulldogs wet weather footy

We have as bad as an injury list I've seen since the first ever showdown.

We could take no more mentally when seedsman was injured in the warm up.

Nothing to say about this game.

Let's move on as soon as possible

 

[The Karma Bus]

Future UGLY: What NicNat is going to do to Jacobs in a few weeks.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Pyke - Finally we get to see what he does after the searing blowtorch of scrutiny gets put on him.

That was simply unacceptable today and suspect some serious off field stuff going on.

Seed getting injured the warm up? WTF sort of circus is going on?

Speechlees.

 

[hey shorty]

You're kidding yourself if you don't think inserting Gibbs into our GF team at the expense of basically any other mid would not have changed the result

8 goals...... 8 ***ing goals after they took their foot off.

Where was Bryce today, did he play
