The players care, 250 games is a big achievement for them.
Sorry, I shouldnt laugh, I am about 5 weeks off from spraining my ankle playing netball. My ankle is still swollen and in pain! I don't know how these players get half the injuries they have and recover in a few weeks!
I have Lisfranc injury in my right foot. Wheelchair riding is fun
They're pretty tough.
Did the opposition team do a guard of honour for Brodie Smith's 250th?
Smith isn't a 3x premiership player and likely Hall of Famer though.
The way Smithers is playing, I wonder if we'll even remember his good years, or if he'll just be remembered in a similar manner to David Mackay.

Did we?
GWS and WC definitely did for Sloane and Tex's. I don't think we even chaired Brodie off for his.
Will be interesting if he does decide to play on next year, if he does then he will get to 280 games and supporters will remember him as a very selfish player. Deep inside, he knows his body is cooked. MacKay knew this and retired, I think we even offered him another year which he decline?
Probably didn't feel worthy, especially with his form of recent.
The club isn't winning a premiership any time soon. Smithers should retire to allow someone else the chance to play.

Mutineer you disagree with my post, care to share why?
Both Crouch and Laird this year are in the low 40s for contested possession rates which is considered average for a midfielder. Both are guys who are limited as ball users but who are in the team because they are good contest players.
So while we’re struggling to win in the contest and get the ball going forward, our two most experienced mids are racking up uncontested handballs, and when they do send it forward it’s usually a high kick to the defenders advantage (Laird in particular). At the same time, Schoenberg and Laird are struggling to find the footy and we leave them at half forward, rather than giving them a go in the midfield.
Explain to me how any of these benefits us moving forward.

Did we crowd around and listen to the apology, or was that a different game?

It's 2024 and you still think possession count determines quality.
Must be a great mystery to you why our club is ass.
Classic crows, zero mongrel in this club, irrelevant and regularly getting walked all over.
It’s my last hope
Wise man…………… I worry about getting across the road safelyI tried more comebacks than Johnny Farnham. I finally gave in

We died & now the season is dead.
Surely now even the most optimistic realise we are no chance of playing finals.
The board should be instructing the coaching group to prioritise young talent to prepare for next season.

I don't mind if Crouch has negative metres gained, as long as he's dishing it out to better players.
Laird is the selfish one, seems like he handballs to a player under pressure just so he can get a one two from it to pad his stats.

Which is why I would have more respect for Olsen if he came out & said unfortunately finals is very unlikely & the club is going to prioritise playing our top end talent... otherwise we will get even less out of this season.The club looking for a way to still be a mathematical chance:
