A dose of reality

[twirlyhair]

You all make me laugh.

Especially the “you’re not a true supporter” jibe that is as old as time. Hilarious. And boring.

I don’t buy the bullshi*e the club sells and I’m proud of it. Ive been right not to buy into it for a good 9 years now. And counting. Would have been right for arguably 121 out of 122 seasons to be honest.

Wow. Just as well our players don't throw in the towel as easy as you do. Talk about soft!

[Linton Lodger]

YAWN. We’ll finish somewhere between 12th and 16th again and call it a year of improvement.

Worst possible outcome. But that’s ok... so long as everyone takes home a comfy pay packet and sleeps well at night.

How’s Dan’s rebuild going by the way?

You sound like you're from a marketing background: bluff, bluster and a reliance on pot luck. You could never understand the value of a Hannabery.

[Crossy66]

Great supporter here and there. Not. Couldn't wait to hit the good old keyboard.

Alright for you to spam us when we win. If it wasnt for supporters who call out the sh*t, the club would bumble along in its usual fashion.

I’ll be keeping on calling it out until we win a flag. Only then will I be satisfied.

Like the Club listens to supporters to determine how they go about things. Wow what an exercise in leadership that'd be.

Really dont think the club cares about a wood duck opposition supporter trolling a fan forum.

[Scollop]

I’m not sure who the Crows had out but we’re missing:
Carlisle
Hannebery
King
Lonie for three quarters
Geary
Roberton
Marshall
Bytel
Austin
McCartin
Clavarino
Pierce

Obviously not all best 22 but definitely Carlisle, Hannebery, Geary, Roberton and Marshall.

I think it all caught up with us today.

This

Imperative that the load is shared amongst senior listed players. No good having White as an emergency 3 weeks in a row and having Dunny and Arma in the magoos when they could have helped the team record a win today. Not saying the would have been the difference, but Adelaide's mids are not nessecarily super quick.

I can see where you're coming from but surely you would be impressed with the effort so far. Today we were outclassed by a better team & don't expect Dan to be on the park anytime soon

He's in marketing, they've got the market cornered in softness.

Well said. It's why they are out on a paddock and not writing BS on a forum as an oppo supporter.

Never forget - supporters pay their wages. And employees of the club.... like you.

[Teflon]

Don’t have a problem with the OP surprised many do....
Went to my first live game this year, thought it’d be a good test and it was
I saw us try but in reality our ball movement and skill level was nowhere near Crows - we looked haphazard, scrambly at times and going forward didn’t have a clear plan/purpose
Endeavours there but talents still light on - much like last year from what I saw today so against any quality oppo who can but a target we’ll battle I think
Hannerbury should result in a sacking btw shocking decision

Alright to you to spam us when we lose. You haven't bothered coming on here after the wins. And 'judging by the history of your past posts don't dare call yourself a supporter.

Nah, nothing like last year. Last year we lost that game by 10 goals plus.

On top of existing injuries they lost Geary, Marshall and then Lonie (critical to our forward setup) early. We were poor after the 1st quarter, dumb decisions and execution yet we were still in it half way through the last. In the end, despite a poor performance against good experienced opposition, it should have been closer. If that's our worst, I'm not too worried. Put Carlisle in that team today and we won, depite been scratchy and many having an off day.

We have our two best defenders and possible All Australians (Carlisle & Roberton) out, playing one tall forward short because of those injuries and McCartin's. Hannabery hasn't hit the park yet (and he will) on top of Geary, Marshall and Lonie.

There's a big difference to last year.

I haven't even talked about their spirit. Don't underestimate how seeing Jack Lonie going down would have hit them psychologically. They're tight.

[The Fireman]

I see effort and talent..something missing from last year so I'm happy atm ..but gee we have some d**khead supporters on this forum and I'm not talking about the so called negative ones.

[Linton Lodger]

Just read that Bruce hadn't trained all week.

Marshall was out with a virus, I bet a few others had it.

Well since you are such a keen troller, maybe yo will bump into Dan on a fishing trip?

More chance of that than on a football ground

[Linton Lodger]

I think the next 3 weeks are going to be a big reality check for some...

A tough 3 weeks granted, 3 competitive performances and even 1 win from those three, will leave us in a good position. We always match up well against GWS and isn't the playing area in Canberra the same dimensions as the MCG?

You do understand that journalists spice these things up to sell Newspapers and never actually know much? Why wouldn't Hannabery get on the park? Is there a reason other than he isn't now.

So spicy that even Richo was surprised he isnt playing yet

[Yorkeys]

Just shows how important Marshall/a good ruck is; Geary and a few more bigger bodies esp. in attack. To win we need the rub of the green and all cylinders firing. No 2019 finals because we won't get over Geelong, GWS, Collingwood, Adelaide, Port Adelaide, Richmond, West Coast or one of Freo, Lions, Essendon, but will give sides above us a few headaches. Goals for this year: get King up and running; get Clark and Coffield and one other regularly into the team (Phillips, Langlands, Marsh....) don't lose too many games by 5 + goals, find a new ruckman. Give Richo a respectful departure. Choose a gun coach to take us forward from AR's legacy and pick well in the draft.

[The Fireman]

i think there were only a couple on here that needed a dose.

[shanegrambeau]

Back to four dollars. Same as odds for Hawtgorn and Essendon?

Sydney were obviously playing him at less than 100% and he was never allowed to get right. Richo may be surprised (its called being frank), but he never said he's never getting on the park.

Geary was out before the game started ffs - Rob Harvey retired in 08 we can’t keep using that excuse for not being able to hit the side of a barn and zero system going forward - yes Lonie hurt but again that doesn’t excuse the skill level which is what we saw last year.

We played a side who came to play and skill wise and system wise are way ahead of us. We still carry players that when we hit quality ....really struggle... that won’t get us to top 4 anytime soon

Much to be done
