Roast Vent Here

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Difference between our best and worst is huge

Same problems, we either:

• Lose the ball in the middle, hold up okay defensively, transition back to the middle and burn the ball after we reach the halfway point
• Win the ball in the middle and burn the ball with a poor inside 50 entry/poor forward leading patterns
• Win the ball in the middle, get it inside 50 and lock it in, but have no way of capitalising on it and our opponents go end to end

We are defending okay to good, can win the ball in the middle okay, our tackling and pressure is pretty good and we aren’t afraid to take the game on, however, our forward line is a combination of disfunctional and bereft of quality entries from the middle. 2013-15 all over again but with no Pav, Ballantyne or Mayne

I feel like I might be the only person who only ever took it to be purely tongue in cheek for the lulz.

It's always been taking the piss hasn't it? Tell me it's been a self deprecating pisstake this whole time. People can't seriously be that mental can they?

Yeah haha Flagmantle lol


By the way does anyone know the number for a good tattoo removal place ?

 

[nurries]

Amongst fans it was a pisstake. Then the media got hold of it and ruined it.

The media got hold of it as some absolute plonkers got tattoos of it. I mean wtf

The tattoo was also done ironically. No one ever took it seriously except for the media

 

[G Mus]

I know the guy who got the thigh one that the media got ahold of, he hardly follows footy let alone Freo - was just a pisstake

 

[God docker]

Tattoos have lost all meaning or symbolism now. It's all about attention and who can get the dumbest ink.

Flagmantle, case in point.

Have you seen the 'Dockers' one? See if you can book us in for a two for one.

Has a reigning doig medalist ever had as bad a year as Darcy this season?

ryan argubably, he was down in 2021 and has continued to head in that direction

What wrong with it? The guy didn't put a year on that Flagmantle tat, all we have to do is win one flag in that guys lifetime and the tattoo will be correct.

Flagmantle is a meme, its not that serious, lighten up people.

Can't help but feel this was club driven and I hate it.

He's said all season that he wants to play on for as long as he's still contributing. Has a 35 disp 10 clr game on friday and all of a sudden he's decided changed his mind?

With all the other greats it was very obvious that their time was up.

I don’t know, his existential crisis on the bench and 6 out on the fulls might have given away what he was thinking. Feels an odd co-incidence, but it’s the vent thread, vent away

Unfortunately I fear a made up story by Suma and Hagdorn is not too far away!

Maybe he'd already been told that he wasn't getting a new deal.

Either way, I hope more than anything else that this was his decision and his decision only.

Clearing the deck for Jackson..

Yes Nostradamas.

He’s not an area of need. He’s not what we lack. Essentially we’re just replacing a faster Ruckman and trading Meek.
Meh.
Basing most of his potential over one half of the GF, against English whos absolute dogpoop in the ruck

Not to mention we'll be playing a developing player over a million a year. They did that across the road and look at the riff it caused

is overweight, no one wants to mention it, but he is and looks very comfortable impersonating Nic down the road.

Needs to pull his finger out.

The man got 35 disp and 10 clearences, he is clearly still important to the engine room. I can't believe the club couldn't keep him on as a medi sub next year. They don't give a shit about player loyalty. We are going to cull our list for a potential ruckman that doesn't even fit a list need. This is such a big gamble and if it backfires we would have wasted 6 years of rebuilding.

His direct opponent was also best on ground

So is that Mundy's fault or the coaches for not taking him out the game?

 

[salim malik]

This club of ours is a stress indused mind **ck.
No win is ever easy , 5 goals in front with 10 minutes to go and its still panic in the dacks time. We have grown to accept that .
Now 13 and a half wins with three rounds to go and where we should be cruising in happy clapper land 12 wins which has been enough to make finals for bloody ever suddenly turns out its not and now its crap your dacks time for the next 3 rounds.
This club never gives you a break. Be still my panicked heart.
