Roast Vent Here

[Snuffaluphagus]

I have asked the bigfooty admins to upgrade the vent thread servers for Sunday when we lose to eagles.

Way too expensive for Chief, he'd need to take out a loan to pay for the additional 50k of servers we'll need. Better to just let it crash and burn I say

I'm sure we'll all be reasonable in the face of disaster.

People jumping off are dumb campaigners. It is fine to be pissed. We are all pissed. But, it is 2 games of a 23 game season FFS. Grow the * up.

After the NM loss I literally had a premonition of posters here drolling out the 'just letting you know after 27 years I'm done folks, maybe see you round the traps for a beer but this is the end for me' w***ery.

I was not let down - after being a member here for over a decade and lurker much longer than that watching the same people lose their shit and return meekly after a couple of wins is comedy gold.

Why did we extend Brodie for 3 years and then drop him? That's some classic Freo list management.

is not the issue.

We've just accentuated a clear deficiency.

Our centre clearance work is a disaster - the solution, drop our best centre clearance player from 2022.

Unbelievably stupid.

I wish I knew how this statement makes sense to you.

10 days ago our List management thought is worth giving Will Brodie a 3 year extension.


10 days after that, Brodie is dropped for team structure (?). How is it that our list management can sign up a fringe player for 3 years.

Either the list management is ****ed (my guess) or the match committee don't know what they are doing.

Thinking the same thing.

Do our list management team just not talk to the coaching team or what? Because why would you sign a guy to a contract until the end of 2026 when his position in the team is shakey.

 

[King Huskii]

Hughes gets a gig over Brodie. You have to be kidding me.

If he doesn't turn it around, he can join the long line of adequate, but ultimately surpassed, footballers who have been at Freo 2 seasons too long.

Maybe it's both.

I think this week is the beginning of his transition to depth player. He has a fatal flaw that can't really be improved upon at his age (his tank) and there are two young, highly-rated and physically superior guys waiting in the wings to overtake him. I am somewhat ok with him being extended as a useful depth piece, but he'd be on best-22 money wouldn't he?

I mean clearly the contract negotiations were in place long before last week and were heavily based on his season last year. It’s really not that hard to comprehend.

I agree Hughes has never been best 22, but they continue to pick him. When Hughes plays we loose simple as that, look at the history.

If we have too many mids then surely Sturt or Erasmus could play instead. They have untapped potential and need to flourish

For the same reason we’ve played Tabs twice and subbed him out both times.

We were desperate for someone to fill the Connor Blakely

role of way overpaid and way over contracted WAFL mainstay so we doubled down with 4 year deals for both Brodie and JOM just in case one of them surprised us and performed up to their contract

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Can't believe I forgot to vent about this but alas....

Beer in paper cups is the single ****ing stupidest thing that Optus stadium management has ever decided to do.

Either recyclable plastic cups or hear me out, re-usable plastic cups that you pay a $2 deposit on which you get back when you return the cup. If you CBF returning the cups you can give em to someone who needs the $2 or just leave them there for people to pick up.

Also cardboard trays can **** off, again recyclable plastic

There’s an export ban on plastics and not enough domestic processing facilities to handle the volumes being disposed of. Hence the ban on single use plastics being sold.

The next Connor Blakely??

Holding on to Taberner in the team is holding on to mediocrity. We need to move on from him because he's not going to be a part of our premiership team.

 

[Purple Jesus]

I’m here to vent about the massive influx of nuffies crawling out of the woodwork, spouting all kinds of vile venom after two rounds of bad footy. I’d even say one after watching the Saints today. Can’t wait for you pricks to disappear back under your rocks when things get back on track.

Bit simplistic don't you think? Could say the same for half a dozen other players.

Tis incredible the people that live on BF for the bad times and disappear like a fart in the wind for the good. I personally hate coming on here when we are going poorly so I find it weird the ones that only post when we are shit.
