Went for a Les Kiss after a few pints in the bullring at one point and all was going well until some weird ■■■■ got too close and bumped into me and the flow stopped for whatever reason Doesn't even compare to the stage fright our boys got today. Fkn awful match. Should have stayed at the royal.
I really can’t make any sense of this Riley, please explain.
I can only surmise that we all thought Riley was a bloke but is in fact a chick who’s hot enough to pull a random at a footy match.
Completely over audio today by the occasion, nothing coach could have done. But some of the players who are on our list were just pathetic today, they have no excuse.
Not our day … a lot of the side a bit overawed by the occasion of it, and I think Buckley knew that was a good chance, so instructed them to go like stick from the outset to take advantage of it, & it worked.
Got nervous when Cloke was left out, it’s always dangerous when you remove a failing focal point, the whole team gets a burst of freshness, as well as a shot across the bow’s that even the highest paid can get axed.
Looney has been outstanding.
Zerrett really tried.
Kelly is a class above.
Hartley decent.
Fantasia good.
The bad is obvious, but most disappointed in first half effort rather than anyone in particular.
Also think we got out coached before the game today. Not switched on, too tall forward, needed Crowley to stop someone. The non-tagging Sidebottom or Pendelbury is puzzling but hopefully the guys got something out of being smashed.
I’ll excuse a lot of things this year. I’m ok with poor skills. I’m fine with getting overrun late in games. I’m fine with getting pushed around by bigger bodies.
But fk me I want to see effort. I can’t accept soft, front-running spuds finding themselves loose in their forward 50 time after time. I don’t want to see us chip the ball around a bit before bombing it onto Joe’s head when he’s surrounded by 5 opposition players. Every fkn time. The number of times they outnumbered us in our forward line, swept the ball away and ran the length of the field without us touching them was staggering.
We were never going to be a good side this year, but today was a hell of a lot more disappointing than any other game so far.
Kids played in front of huge crowd and got stage fright.they are now one game closer to not getting stage fright.im disappointed but not shattered,this meant to happen every week remember.time to get around them,long season if we don’t.
