Chill. His views have absolutely not changed. Remember he is playing the political game here. We elected him for what he says behind closed doors. He was never going to able to say whatever he wants now hes on the board, that just doesnt happen.
Trust him, you have seen how he wont be bowed. He will be filthy.

Freo are rubbish.. we should take care of them easily
He can't pot the Club in public given his board role. I'd be pretty sure he's still thumping desks behind the scenes. It's a hope I can cling to anyway as the rest of the Club's management slowly drains all my passion for the game.

Pathetic effort from butters and rozee tonight, they are gun players but it’s about time they started standing up when it mattered. They were weak as piss tonight and they were in the finals too.

Here we go, getting stuck into Tredders even though we know he is hamstrung publically to speak out against the club, the umpires and the AFL.
His duty to the members is behind closed doors now. We just have to take it by faith that he serves our interests when it matters most and bed wetting in March is not the time.

We are watching a different game. Butters was ridiculously good in tight situations most of the night. Without Zac we lose by a lot more......

I had a 10-second moment of rage when Melbourne went 2 goals up late-on and I realised we’d be treated to another round of “Team X has conjured a miracle and breached Fortress Adelaide! / Look at all the orcs leaving early / Shame on those ferals for spraying the giant vegan!” gaslighting.
But that quickly gave way to the usual “lol yes, this is exactly what we do” normalcy.

Btw, message tredders on fb if you want to. He listens. Might not be able to respond in as much detail as he could before but our rage gets 100% channeled through him.

What Ken fails to understand is that, if you photocopy plan A, that doesn't constitute a plan B. Wines basically admitted as much on 5AA after the game - when things get tough against good sides, we can't adapt our game accordingly. So surely we get someone into the coaches box, who can make the necessary changes as required.

I couldn’t even conjure up the 10-seconds of rage man. Air of inevitability about the whole evening.
I don't have a big problem with our midfield. The Melb mids didn't stand out either, just one of those games. The one thing I would criticize is we didn't seem to put as much work into softening Gawn up and he ends up being best on ground.
Melbourne were dump kicking the ball out of defence the whole last quarter, Alliir And Ratugolea were camped on that wing and took 1 mark between them. We really needed more especially from Alliir. That 10% extra, great intercept work when he earned an AA spot hasn't come back.

Alir re-signing during the week probably gave him an air of complacency.
Mmm I didn’t rate his performance at all, found he was missing in action in a lot of key moments and didn’t hurt the opposition with his 26 touches. One of his worst games in a long time. Ditto rozee. We need to stop making excuses for their disappearing acts in big games.

1000%. Literally had 20 more inside 50s and posts are trying to blame the umps. We shit the bed once we verse a top 4 team and face any sort of adversity when the game is there to be won, plain and simple.
I said at half time this is a rinse and repeat game of the 2020 prelim. The same dogshit entries into 50 with no leads, chasing the ****ing ball like headless chickens and shitting our pants when in disposal. This will not change till the bald man perishes, what don't you all understand.

lol as if he needs to hear our rage and as if that would make him do anything differently. If Port aren’t improving he will see it just as clearly as we do , in fact more clearly as he can see what is going on behind the scenes He will have plenty of rage. of his own.

I ****ing hate that I'm negative. I absolutely detest this incredibly depressing feeling. This total lack of emotional attachment I have right now. I don't think I cheered all night. I found that game boring, I never felt like we would win.
But nights like tonight are exactly why we are the way we are. This was a 100% predictable outcome. We are so incredibly consistent in our themes. It's bloody 9 seasons since the rot started in 2015 and besides the individuals on that field, that result and game style has not changed. It was identical, you could describe the stats and the game without players and the year, and it could be confused with many, many games over the years. The same night time loss at AO to a contender, the same kick it to Dixon plan, the same mentally weak execution and lack of killer instinct, the same clanger ridden killer moments.
How can I be positive? How can I sit there knowing full well exactly what is going to happen, and get excited? It's like putting the 2007 GF DVD again and hoping for a different result.
Worse still, EVEN IF we won that. Would it change anything. Is there anyone on this forum that truly believes that we can win 3 finals in a row, on the biggest stage possible. We just can't. We're fundamentally flawed. We're so sterile and boring. No matter what happens this season, come September I can unequivocally put my entire life on the fact we will not be playing a GF.
Honestly, I sat on that bus thinking I need to just stop going, I need to stop wasting time on this club and this forum, I don't enjoy this anymore. This club isn't the club I fell in love with. It's not striving for greatness, it is happy to accept mediocrity and continue churning out this shit as long as we don't bottom out.

Well if you can't beat them they'd have to be drunk for us to get anywhere near them next week

Worst part is, you just know the Kochs and Richardsons of the world walk away from tonight thinking “yep that was a brave effort, we’re on the right track”, unable to recognise they’ve watched that same game 50 times in the past 10 seasons.
