[Gasometer]

I am going to get my Overalls on and plant my first lot of Tommy Toe Tomatoes.

Freo players drifting around the ground unmanned at will

 

[Rod Stroker]

Ok so who’s leaving the club?

our skills coach. And whoever decided to employ them.

 

[Only Forwards]

Effort would not be an unreasonable expectation.

Like the midfield effort to chase Brayshaw as he ran 40 meters unimpeded from the centre bounce.

I mean sure pick Bonar out but throw a blanket over probably 10 players.

Prior to his injury Bonar looked to just be beginning to hit a bit of a groove.

Before that he'd looked slow, lost and unsure.

It is what it is.

 

[Luke72]

this is very hard to watch

Second last game of the season, don't think it's too much to ask for some semblance of system and structure from this side by now. Really, really telling that the one goal we scored from the quarter came from a player (Polec) running past for a handball receive and then hitting a target - actually making the play, not simply playing our part in the opposition's training drill, which is what it looks like when Brayshaw can jog comfortably unpressured through the entire centre square, or when their forwards always have prime position against our defenders, or when they always have the outnumber in the backline, or when they seem to be putting more effort in than we are.

There's no set of excuses that justifies such a comprehensive outclassing in every facet of the game like this: these aren't new problems, so what have we done across the season to fix them? If we've done anything at all about it, why isn't it working?

Rhyce wants to get the overalls on and get to work.

Is he the foreman running this shit show?

Yep

 

[Moti]

I'd give it to Tarrant or McDonald.

Tarrant is about to fall off a cliff. Luke actually is the one, only one.

Make Lmac captain. Only bloke who consistently gives a shit aside from Taz

 

[Groucho]

I honestly had forgotten Atley was playing until he got a free late in the second

 

[archereleven]

I would like to see the raw pace everyone says he has as well, but he looks lost in defence and unsure. Need to play in the middle

He was in the middle when he gave up the chase on Brayshaw... and when I say gave up the chase, I mean didn't bother to chase...

I'd go to man on man for the whole second half. Let's see who's got some cajones and that pride/intestinal fortitude deepdown to not get beaten at the contest.

Honestly forgot our whole team was playing.

Watch out for that Karma Bus coming

Coming?... its been parked out the front of Melbourne’s admin building for 50 years..

 

[Caracas]

Apart from LMac, the team is letting the jumper down. There’s no pride on display.

Obviously there’s lots of issues atm but I’ll just mention one of them: the regular inability to cleanly pick the ball up off the ground. So many times our players overrun it or fumble, fumble, fumble and then handball under pressure.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Conditioning staff need rooting

 

[Samsquanch]

Surprised the autopsy thread isn't created yet, there's no way we'regoing to score 6 more goals to win

I’m looking for the BBB thread (renamed)

 

[SammyRoo]

List of things to fix at half time .....

 

[Cool Kangas]

Wooden spoon is still in play.

Do we get pick one if that’s the case or are we still second in line for some reason (I read somewhere pick 1 is owed to some other club for something but can’t recall what)

 

[Le Grille]

Wooden spoon is still in play.

As per the live ladder we’ve only drop 1-2% would need to get very ugly, even if the eagles smash us

And Adelaide to beat Carlton or Richmond
