Could there be a more Brad loss?
From pre-emptively whinging about the umps mid-week, to getting 6? goals from frees and being in multiple positions to go on to a comfortable victory and still losing, in the last minute (of course), to then blaming execution instead of structure in the post match presser.... it's just, triggering.
You conceded 8 unanswered goals in 20 minutes .... that's all down to execution?
I mean - what would we know?!

Wasn’t he blaming execution on the Boundary Line just before heading onto the ground?

I was waiting for “easy fix” to spill out

Hahaha. That's a resultist.

What the **** is a resultist. Bard is making up words as he goes.


Is Bradded or Braddled a word?

From memory, BS got a 4 year deal.

Which means he is still on track for 300 games with no GF appearance and 8000 days of no * finals wins. If he out snake oils Hinkley, he will be the King of mediocrity. ~50.4% winning coach.

With games against Stk, Freo, GCS, Sydney, and Brisbane, we may not even get to see if they choke again in a final.

Lucky BS topped up with McKay, Duursma, Gresham and Goldstein in the off season. Guess they must have missed out on Billings.

Billings possibly not under delivering at godees as all in sunbury figured out he wasnt worth a first rounder.
 
Anyone got the McKay goal assist to Keays footage. Need to send it to a friend lol. He needs a cheer up .

This is the best I can do:

I admire Hodges attempt at defending them, but the problem may not be with * learning, it might be the noise coming out of Scott’s mouth trying to convince the supporter base. Remember that Syd night he said the next year we were going to go all the way 😅

Was that the same year that Buckley declared we had a great season when we came 17th or there abouts and picked up LDU next month?

We drank a lot of bath water 2016-2019
 
Kingy is biased against Brad and its coming across. But he's right I reckon. McKay's played nearly 100 games. And he's made alot of mistakes on the backline. "When will he learn?" is a fair question.
The point gets made often by a few posters, Ben has some great attributes, but ball in hand he is flat out not good and whether that means direct turnovers, kicking out on the full, or taking 3 days to kick down the line, the end result is that he isn't worth what he's being paid.

Anyway, that was an odd argument they had. Basically came down to Hodge saying the list is shit and has a loser mentality still, regardless of if they lucked into a top 4 spot, and they all have a lot to learn. Then Kingy arguing that actually a bunch of the problems were structural (scott's fault) and that some of those blokes (mckay) are never going to learn some things (how not to turn a ball over). They were just talking past each other though. IMO both were 80% correct.

That’s a fair summary. Hodge an apologist. King an assailant.
