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

So weird to see your mob drop this far like this. Pretty bizarre. Personally it makes it more likely that this season is some kind of weird anomaly. Your list is better than this.

 

[anshell]

They’ve doubled our score.Great going guys.

 

[Soups]

Jack made the right decision.

 

[Kes1984]

Another Cameron dump kick gives away a goal

It’s all he does and doesn’t learn that it never works!

 

[Doc1763]

This is going to be a long rebuild with Tassie coming in.

Thank God we snagged that flag

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

From premier to a rabble. This is just shocking and the coach and the club leaders have let complacency set in, and these are the results.
Simpson and Beveridge went from premiership coaches, to leading their side in the wilderness for a few seasons after that, Simpson never recovered obviously, but Bevo had the axe over his head a few times before they got back into a Grand Final. I feel Fly could be heading in the same direction....

 

[IlovethePies]

They were leaving for more money elsewhere. To keep them at the club they had to move their roles around. We were never going to keep them as assistants in the same roles.

Would have done better to offer them a significantly higher salary in the same role!!

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Starting to look like an Assistant Coach thing again

I keep saying people don’t credit Assistants enough. Leppa and Bolts move on to different roles? We fall in a heap

Leppa and Bolts changed roles for our premiership year too, just not working this year.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Ginivan, what a shit human.!
Noble should have been a premiership player instead of this piece of shit.

 

[pie chucker]

The Pies are hard to watch but lets face it, players over the age of 30 rarely get better. We had 11 in our premiership team. And we keep screwing up our first round draft picks, or give them away for peanuts.

Chin up, we'll always have 2023. We had a small window of opportunity when our older players were still good, and I'm so glad we took it.

I think we'll be in for some pain over the next few years.

 

[barrackers]

Newcombe stopped thinking he’d milked a free for ducking, ump paid holding the ball

 

[DWil6]

Thank God we snagged that flag

100% what I think. Because we are about to go through some tough years and without wanting to sound pessimistic, we have got pretty poor youth.

 

[TradeDraft]

Jack Ginnivan one of the most Punchable players in the AFL

 

[Buckley is my hero]

How many can we drop to the twos next week?

Clue: Anyone over the age of 30. Will they do it? No. They'll end up dropping McInnes, Long, Sullivan and Richards and bring in Mitchell, Cox, Schultz and Frampton. Will it work? No, but the coach will feel happy he's got more premiership players back.

 

[Aussie pie]

Not going to win, I don’t like the side. My opinion, if you disagree that’s fine but I don’t need the abuse for saying we won’t win.
Not the outs I expected and that’s my reason.

Well I told you so!

 

[Kes1984]

Would have done better to offer them a significantly higher salary in the same role!!

Don’t think it works that way. Isn’t there a cap

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

130 more disposals, 25 more inside 50s, 30 more contested possessions.
WTF has happened to this team?
Buckley era putrid.

Haven’t learnt a thing over the past month of how sides are playing against us. Not sure if it's just too hard, players CBF'd or just crap coaching

 

[Soaring Magpie]

They have shifted Moore forward, hopefully they shift him to the VFL next week.

 

[TradeDraft]

Jack made the right decision.

Glad we got rid of the Flog

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

They have shifted Moore forward, hopefully they shift him to the VFL next week.

Several weeks too late

No it's not, we've been cruelled by injury but we're also too thin in the big man department and the young kids we've had coming in at other positions just haven't taken the next step the way we needed them to.

Pretty much all of our older regular top 10 B&F players have also fallen right off the cliff - Crisp, Pendles, Sidebottom, Maynard, Moore, DeGoey, Josh Daicos and Quaynor are probably the most notable, so with Mitchell and Mihocek also missing significant portions of the season that's 9 our our top 10 players from last year that have been significantly underperforming.

The high pressure small-ball game we've been playing with bit part players just isn't sustainable across a full season unless you have a lot of luck with the injury imp and get to rest some players, at some point you need some talls to stand up and make things a bit easier down back and up forward.

 

[Doc1763]

Well, the rest of the season will be spent praying anyone but the Scum win the flag.

It feels a lot like the Cats last season.
Started poorly, injuries set in, and could never find form and get the year going.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Do we have a defensive structure!?!

 

[BigVic]

Game is a Joke at the Moment

I cannot watch footy anymore
