I can barely watch this team any more. Already have retreated to my home office.

So sad that it has come to this. So many turnovers. Our forward line is dysfunctional. Our midfield is down on form and confidence. Our backline is coming together, but God knows they're getting plenty of practice to work on their games.

Easy percentage booster for our opposition.

I hope to see another honest effort after half time, but that's about the only hope we have.

West Coast and Hawthorn will be looking to notch up their first wins of the year against us if we don't do something SOON.
 
At least we won't have to hear Dwayne Russell bang on about his old mates from the Geelong area and all the local players the Cats have. And how good it is that they have a stadium that they can be so proud of that was built off the back of winning premierships, with no consideration given to the government funding thrown into the stadium to win votes.

Drop Stephens into the Barwon River.

I'm aware this is an overwhelmingly negative take. But it's a feeling I've had growing all year, particularly since Good Friday.

I feel that LDU has been mentally broken by years of constant losses and absolutely appalling leadership. The same as Scott - they are both having stinkers, and have generally been poor this year. In LDUs case especially, it seems mental. Promising juniors that have received zero nourishment for years; it's not surprising they're pretty done and fed up.

I don't see how this club is fixed without solving the senior leadership crisis. We can't just wait for the kids to grow up without doing anything else. Sheezel, Wardlaw, Duursma, McKercher, Comben and all the rest will just become more LDUs and Scotts.

The cycle will continue unless something breaks it. But I don't know how we can do that. I think the club might be broken.
 
Reserve right to amend this based on the second half, but;

Out: Corr, McDonald, Stephens, Lazzaro
In: Pink, Phillips, Hardeman, Zurhaar
 
Hey north.

You obviously dont care that much

Well guess what, neither do we

I get that everyone loves the likes of clarko, Viney, Sonja but they all nice, positive puffy clouds ATM.

Sure it's great to keep positive but for what? Stop ****ing sugar coasting the reality in front our eyes because there is zero consequence for the players attitude and performance on the field

I can't wait four CEO or a fluff piece from our club to come our club,

Grow some ****ing balls north, we are the SOFTEST team in the afl and its spreading like a cancer and Thats on every so called NEW leader, coach, board member

its not working guys

I had high hopes for Bailey Scott but he’s regressed to a shocking footballer this year. Absolute shocking what he’s dished up thus far.

Fisher and Stephens are just soft kick chasers and add nothing to this club. Get some real senior players in this place. It’s getting beyond do able to support this team. Can we sell LDU for some form of tough minded leader?

Weird, I reckon Corr has been alright.

I just can't understand how our clearance work got so bad. Let alone against Atkins, Parfitt, Bowes and Bruhn.
 
So we spend all pre-season running and recruiting Stephens and Fisher for run.

Oh hang on you actually have to lay a tackle in this contact sport.

Well deary me looks like we're going to have to capitulate every game for another year.

Don't worry about getting in the gym, just let the opposition break every single tackle and do as they please.

So glad this football club has spent 4 years at the bottom thinking about how to get back to the top, they really are ahead of the game in their forward thinking.

I'm starting to think that Goldstein's freakish ability to tap it to the exclusive advantage of our midfielders was really making some of our midfielders look better than they were.

Xerri is good, don't get me wrong. But his tapwork is... not great.
 
LDU has to be carrying something. You can see what we’re trying to build but our midfield is non-competitive. Makes it hard. Biggy a tick, ensures Pink never plays again. Sheez great. Drury showing something. Fisher can **** off to the VFL.

He’s carried the midfield for 3 seasons straight for barely any success, and at some point it becomes all too much.
