Re: Round 3 Game thread
We have a habit of playing teams into form this is one of them.
Essendon giving us a football lesson .
We should be given half price memberships to go and watch St.Kilda

Re: Round 3 Game thread
Our top 4 team is definitely a bottom 4 team.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Re: Round 3 Game thread
The coach and selectors need a good kick in the arse, how the f*** can they keep selecting Hill, McKernan, Lonie, McKenzie and Butler who are badly out of form or simply not up to AFL standard.
Absolute f****** disgrace!

Re: Round 3 Game thread
Have we got any heart? Hawthorn came back from this margin and won
Let’s see who stands up and who plays for the jumper

Re: Round 3 Game thread
The issue at hand is lack of confidence in themselves and their team-mates. Every culture has this challenge, whether its losing keys players or adding new players that somehow shift the vibe or just a funk that settles in after a few defeats.
I feel its several things right now. We all have seen this group play great, but we are missing some strategic links.
Geary- his impact is so undervalued
Patton- he has the vibe of Geary being able to calm the backline but he was beyond Geary in skill and ability to see forward players to link with
Ryder- good tap work, overall play is solid, runs forward, tries to tackle and defend, takes marks and scores
Rowan- great ruck presence, good ground game, speed, tackling, smart like Ryder...got eyes on where the ball needs to go
Just these 4 players can supply first touch, rebound to advantage creating ops for Hill & co to run off....plus relieve defenders off King and Membrey pushing forward.
We are a good team, not great, but good and when we get all these lads back ( minus patton) we will seriously improve and confidence will bounce off the walls again.
I wish this weren't true but we've all seen it in every sport so many times, why get too down hearted?
Sure I gotta bitch & moan too and hate on players but getting real, Im going to stop.
Im sorry for my piss poor school boy whining on your posts. Im not that disappointed and I see a great team regardless of this game or season outcome.

Does King know how to lead
Just sits over the back
If he’s being coached to do so it’s killing him

Re: Round 3 Game thread
We are getting manhandled everywhere and not getting called for it, but when we try the same tactics it’s free kick Drug Cheats.
