To what end? We are the oldest team in the league with a positively shyte midfield and we keep rolling out the same midfield just to try and make the 8? What's the point?
Surely with our age profile it's win now or move on. Nowhere is this clearer than the midfield. It's like Simmo or the club want us to become a North Melbourne type team... Battling it out every year but no threat
He's been pretty much a liability for a while now but gets passes due to his in close work which simply holds up the play
Absolute rubbish, we were playing against there seconds. We were exactly where we are, a soft group of overpriced footballers who don't produce.
Beaten by a marginally better team, we aren't miles off the pace, the margin reflects the gameThats said I was happy with our intent.
But the cumulative skill level across every line was inferior today.
Beaten by a much better team today.
Sad but true .
Nah. That was much better than last week.
If you accepted we are a middle-of-the-road side why do you get emotional about us losing a nothing game against a better side?
Their worst possible side - that's just rubbish. Who's in their best 22 that wasn't out there? Lobb, Scully, Griffen, Deledio, Smith - can't think of any others so stop wailing about a seconds side it wasn't. We were nearly though not quite as hobbled as them, but let's not overplay the hand.Because we are not a nothing side, we are a lazy soft side. We played today against their worst possible side and were weak.
The sooner you accept the facts that we are a bunch of players who can perform on only their own terms the better.
We have talent but we don't have heart, thats the facts and nothing can hide it or change it.
BS how many would they replace 5?
Please name them, they had most of their best team, Cameron, Patton, Greene, Davis, the fullback, Williams, Wilson, Mumford, Ward, Kelly, Whitfield, Shaw - this idea that they had ten of their best out is just nonsense, a media beat -up, they had a strong although not full strength team out there same as us

Why do our blokes continue to corral and stand off the contest? There were 2 goals they kicked direct from stoppages in the forward 50 in the last where we had at least 5 around the ball but no-one put their head over it or where just flat footed when they dished the ball out. Its frustrating as **** and just unacceptable at this level. Why are our blokes incapable of getting their head over the ball?
Because we have a team of soft *****
There aren't 10 players today that would be dropped to fit them inThe last two are arguable b22 but Hopper had played six matches in a row before being injured in Rnd 7. Deledio would be b22 if fit.
- Tom Scully
- Stephen Coniglio
- Rory Lobb
- Devon Smith
- Ryan Griffen
- Stevie Johnson
- Adam Kennedy
- Nick Haynes
- Matt Buntine
- Brett Deledio
- Jacob Hopper
Maybe you haven't heard much of Kennedy, Haynes or Buntine but they've played 192 AFL matches between them so they are hardly fringe.

Coniglio, Deledio, Scully, Devon Smith, Stevie J, Lobb, Griffen, Haynes, Hopper & Adam Kennedy are their 10 of best 22-25 that are out - a couple of them would be on the fringes. Those currently in the team replacing them are Taranto, De Boer, Himmelberg, Mohr, Reid, Corr, Perryman & Lloyd. Nowhere near farfetched at all.Please name them, they had most of their best team, Cameron, Patton, Greene, Davis, the fullback, Williams, Wilson, Mumford, Ward, Kelly, Whitfield, Shaw - this idea that they had ten of their best out is just nonsense, a media beat -up, they had a strong although not full strength team out there same as us
What do you think I'm hiding it with? Blunt, bare faced truth is what I'm after. Fact is - it was a weakened team, but not a seconds team. Ten of their best twelve players and most structurally important such as Mumford, Davis, Cameron, Patton, Ward, Kelly, Wilson, Williams, Greene and Shaw were out there so let's not bleat about losing to a no name nothing team.Whatever you want to hide it with!!

My question is - could we have beaten that team - they are a pretty slick outfitCall it as you like but a side with our talent and any pride or heart would of put them away.
But out club is more focused on being Good Samaritan than being great footballers.
We tried hard yay!!!
Who gives a shit how hard they think they tried.
Think you are being a bit over emotional here. None of us like having a loss, particularly at home, but even though mistakes were made and they couldn't win a clearance, I think our midfield combination is our biggest weakness and that's not going to be fixed overnight.Because we are not a nothing side, we are a lazy soft side. We played today against their worst possible side and were weak.

This is the truth of the story - definitely a zoning off game plan - which is why I say "where's Plan B" if that's not working??I reckon Simmo has them zoning off their opponents. Its pretty clear in general play but the problem is when teams win the ball and move it with purpose it falls apart very quickly.
