Game Day Round 19 vs. Hawthorn, MCG, 4:35pm Saturday 20/07

[Axl the great]

Tell me about it, some Hine fans on here are so full of spin that they can’t see the obvious.

Hine is trash

Why even bother? As per usual we would get reamed in any trade of players or picks with our shit team of negotiators we have. Muppets the lot of them.

Could have got 2 first rounders for Jordy 2 years ago.

Rotate the squad a little bit, give some players a rest, the focus should be on next season. Yes of course we want to win, but we can't be shortsighted. There is no harm in accepting that we won't be good enough this year.

We had a slow start due to the premiership win, then we came hard, but injuries killed us. Was it bad luck? Was it because we had no groundwork from a full preseason? Bit of both I reckon.

Are there also some lower motivation levels in squad? Yep, but that's ok, the players are only human, not everybody has the top tier elite mentality to reach the summit, then do it again straight away.

We should be looking at Geelong. Similar age profile with their squad. They won the flag in 2022, then fell off a cliff and finished 12th in 2023, most thought they were cooked, that they'd bottom out and have to rebuild. Now they're on track for a top 4 place in 2024 and are a genuine chance at winning it all.

We all love this footy club, we all love these players, we all want to win every week, we all hate when we lose, but we gotta be proud of the premiership win last year, it's bloody hard to do. And we gotta be proud of the fight the boys have showed after a 0-3 start. We've run out of puff. I strongly believe we can win another premiership next year.

We have too many top up players who are being exposed due to being top up players

 

[mblack42]

See this ****ing annoys me. You get 51 points down and NOW you want to start trying. Didn't want to do it when the game and season was actually on the line.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Why kick a rope out of the middle, dumb footballers

 

[BigVic]

How did we get in a spud and Ginnivan traded

 

[anshell]

Here we come!Only 8 more to go!

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Trade Liplinski, soft weak footballer

 

[cfc19902010]

Frosty taking marks
Lol
God that’s bad

 

[Kes1984]

Best I can hope for now is to win the final quarter, will give us some hope going into next week at least

There’s no hope now. This was a must win game. The comp is too tight.
The loss today has put a line through us this year.

Tell me about it, some Hine fans on here are so full of spin that they can’t see the obvious.

Exactly, the only picks he got right are f/s but the cult members think he’s god. If he’s so good where are the young stars coming through? Are they breaking down the door to play, it’s more like “we’ll play them because we have nothing else.”

 

[Ctracks]

Is that Ned Long’s first tackle?

 

[Bianconeri]

Long 5 possessions with 74% game time and Sulli 2 with 42% game time do not appear to be the answer

How many CBAs have they had?

Yeh but we probably wouldn’t have had a premiership, people forget so quickly

 

[barrackers]

Did the rules change in the last 5 minutes? Holding the man became a thing for us

 

[live fast pieyoung]

yep.I actually think we tried hard and did well to paper over the cracks for as long as we did

Honestly his best days are a decade plus behind him.

He had a brief period early where he nailed some early picks and unearthed some rookie gems. But that was ancient history.

 

[HFF]

We are pushing shit uphill too much in terms of playing catch up on personnel, form, fitness etc

It’s time to stick some players on ice and book them in for surgeries and prepare them for day 1 of pre season

 

[Bianconeri]

We have too many top up players who are being exposed due to being top up players

We only have two three top players one of which who’s a premiership player. And only two started on the field. It’s the senior players letting us down.

 

[Kes1984]

The 8 is now open to 10 teams I reckon. Maybe 11 because the dogs have a decent percentage.

 

[Lunchtime]

That’s a bit revisionist. We made it pretty clear he wasn’t wanted.

If we wanted to keep him we could have kept him.

Exactly. Ginnivan wasn't wanted at Collingwood

 

[Axl the great]

We have too many top up players who are being exposed due to being top up players

With so many role players it means only a handful can really hurt the opposition.
They are being exposed individually for the inept players they really are when you boil it down.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Yeah, I'm still taking the flag last year over that deal.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Losing disposals by 110.

Inside 50’s by 20.

Contested possessions by 18.

We are cooked.
