Bombers Blitzed by the Orange Team R23 2023

I came to aus in 2004 n saw James Hird, Mathew Lloyd , Scott Lucas, Dustin Fletcher etc play which helped me choose Bombers… now After 20 years of watching Bombers… I can say we have hit rock bottom… I feel like I should stop watching footy for my health n well being

“Wouldn’t want our performance to detract from theirs”…

Was that your pre-match address, you latest in a long line of fraud coaches?

We must get McKay in free agency. Absolute must btw

And Ricarrdi. He didnt have much of it today but can mark and kick.

A better third forward option than archie

Weid and Jones are duds

They have no self respect. Same ■■■■■■ who were so soft against Sydney that they got mocked (and still didn’t react).

Maybe we should have asked Xavier Campbell to tweet that same banner, that would have got the players riled.

Our players don’t give a ■■■■.

They are just happy being AFL footballers and it’s the supporters that suffer

Wow.

Delusional

  • you need to earn finals. We didn’t earn it and don’t deserve.
  • they made a mistake at selection.
  • they were comprehensively beaten.
  • highlights that there’s so much work to be done - structure, list, football department.

What was delusional?

I don’t think anything positive was said?

It’s a Catch 22 for sure.

But I think the most significant thing that Brad has said was a couple of weeks ago, after we beat the 2nd worst team every by 1 point… If they are no switched on they won’t be playing.

Again. Catch 22.

Think I’l go read the novel again rather than follow this club.

“We relish the high pressure games”

I could list 5 more comments.

He didn’t use any sugar…although did talk about good efforts against top sides throughout the year. But he did say that it was the kind of loss that the whole club had to deal with

if he wants to be genuine with his communication, he should be explaining what he is actually going to do to solve the issues

just describing what happened is something this site could literally do, and does

Yep thanks to Jackson. A few others too can’t remember but some kids as well

How can you say he’s not the core problem? we had half a dozen coaches in the last 10 years and the same problem still farking exsists

Best thing he said: “lot of work to be done on all aspects of the game, all aspects of the list, and all aspects of the football department”. Hmm changes incoming i hope. Time to clean shop.

We had three shots from forty out, on the run, light pressure and none made the distance.

This is where we are at.

I’m glad you reference 2002. I agree.

Losing those players was the start of our decline.

The list is glaringly weighted towards lightly framed players with poor disposal who panic under pressure.

Yes, he’s certainly identified some talent over the years but he’s never once managed to have a balanced list. He’s been hopeless at identifying where the problems are and addressing them through trades.

He’s burnt an incredible amount of 2nd round picks for little or no reward

His reputation at the trade table means we have toxic relations with more than one club.

He’s never produced the results to justify his continual promotions .

There really is no logical basis on which you can defend the length of his tenure
