Game Day Round 23 - GWS Giants v Essendon, GIANTS Stadium, Saturday 19th August, 4.35pm AEST

[Call Me Cake]

Who was subbed off?

Manhood.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Redman has mailed it in since signing his contract.

I know he's far from the only problem, but as one of our best players, him and guys like Merrett need to be better.

He was our most important signing apparently.

Yet another B-grade player that we overhype because we have nothing else.

 

[ghostdog]

Well that was a disappointing game…..wait…..what? THERE IS ANOTHER HALF TO GO!!!!

Yep, we're still in this.

I hope Dodo's watching the Aus Kickers. These kids just keep running.

 

[BomberManU]

Is Brad 'the guy'? Keep hearing that re-build coaches don't last, so I assume he's a stop gap. If one of his main jobs is getting the team prepared to play, he's failing miserably.

 

[brutus76]

Who was subbed off?

THE GUELF did a right hammy

 

[The Donners]

****. 70 points against an average team. Same old same old.

 

[ghostdog]

Who was subbed off?

Interest.

 

[CBombers17]

Midfield had been obliterated. Where's the leadership in there?

 

[MiguelM]

I never thought we could win this but FFS, give some fight. I don't buy they are tired. We are nowhere near fit enough.

McGrath can't go with anyone.

 

[andleanback]

Redman has mailed it in since signing his contract.

I know he's far from the only problem, but as one of our best players, him and guys like Merrett need to be better.

He literally got coaches votes last week…

 

[Jobe Watson]

How did you miss McGrath? Guelfi and stringer are both ahead of him

True McGrath is a spud too.

 

[ghostdog]

Still a chance to get pick 7 and be in range for the super seven (Before Sanders is aligned to North)

You know, I've never seen anyone barrack so hard against us winning as you do, so you can live out your recruiting team fantasies. Take it to the trade thread mate.

 

[Happyskeret]

They will sign McKay for overs. He’ll be like Shiel with Worsfold. “Big” signing to cover up a coach who’s in it for the retirement money. Somethings happened inside the club. The players have completely lost confidence and a sense of direction since the break. No better than the last 2 coaches. Amazing..

They have hit an absolute wall 5 weeks ago and never recovered. I have heard someone saying that we have maintained heavy training loads all year. I’m praying it’s this and not a loss of confidence.

 

[Yoda_]

Just want to thank Fox Footy for not displaying any pre game or preview stuff to highlight how shit we actually are.

Initially I was disappointed but in hindsight at half time, thanks cause it has been embarrassing thus far

 

[jarka11]

Manhood.

they looked for manhood on the field couldnt find any so just grabbed guelfi

 

[IggypopsTshirt]

Ive suggested this and highlighted we have far to many we consider best 22

That simply aren’t. The following wouldn’t get a game at most clubs in current shape:

Heppell
McGrath
Stringer
Walla
Guelfi
Snelling
Durham
Phillips
Laverde
BZT
Wanganeen
Shiel
Reid
Kelly
Hind
Cox
Wright
Harrison Jones
Weideman
Davey
Stewart
Menzie

Almost half of our list are plodders and cloggers and I’m certain I’ve missed a few.
We’ve chopped and changed in every department (aside from on key area) and the culture of the joint has eroded to the point that we’re as directionless and spineless as a basket case ammo club.

 

[andleanback]

100 point flogging coming up.

 

[citizen-erased]

Apply for a compensation pick using only this game a reasoning

There's a twitter feed we could reference

 

[HirdsTheWord]

100 point flogging coming up.

100?

we are ****in 70 down at half time rofl

this could be 120+

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Bombers or Matildas to watch. What an incredibly hard decision to have to make!

And the bloke who will make the call will keep them around or downgrade them to the rookie list because we can't be too hard on the players

At least they’re not making a complete fool of themselves with a pathetic melt like some of the others in this thread.

 

[ghostdog]

100 point flogging coming up.

We'll get what we deserve.

 

[outersanctum]

Hmmmm I've been pretty positive all season but this feels eerily similar to past seasons. A complete and utter lack of effort when we are still a decent chance of finals.. like not even a whimper. We seemingly have a list of players that are allergic to success. I think we have hit a wall physically but the intent wasn't there from the first bounce.

I have sung Scotts praises all season but I'd hope there is method in the madness but this is an ugly way to end a season.

They? Is that the pronoun of choice? I don't understand.
