Round 3 Game thread

[Laurie]

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

[Teflon]

McKenna is a fricken disgrace every time he touches the ball it’s an ess possession
He’s just a Gumby

[happy feet]

Our top 4 team is definitely a bottom 4 team.

[Laurie]

Agree.
Butler Hill = front runners

[Laurie]

Three quarters of our team are gumbys lol

Absolute spuds Jones on his own ball is kicked to King 3 on 1

[Scollop]

His name isn’t Spud Jones it’s Hack Jones

[terry smith rules]

So no 50 to ‘Saints at one end but against at the other

Disgusting umpiring

[Winmore]

Clarke... sad

[Winmore]

Piss off old Yeller

[B.M]

How slow is Josh Battle

[jonesy]

The laziest bunch of frontrunners to ever represent the club.

[Mr Magic]

Just curious
If the 50 against Butler was correct then why not a 50 against Tippanwoody at the other end?

[SaintDippa]

If I see another long bomb to the top of the square I'm cutting up my membership.

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!

[HardSaint]

Not the first time we’ve been old a turkey

[Winmore]

Coffield... sad

[Scollop]

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

[HardSaint]

Sold

[HardSaint]

Putrid

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.

[Fugazi1966]

f*** OFF

[B.M]

Does King know how to lead

Just sits over the back

If he’s being coached to do so it’s killing him

[SemperFidelis]

My God. We are deplorable. WTF?

[happy feet]

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