This is most disappointing we have a very solid nucleus but look so poor so often, when other teams with half talent are so much more competitive for 4 qtrs
When i left to go play soccer we were 27 up. Wtf?
Donāt watch the replay Ivan
Right now based on the past fortnight, its hard to argue against that.
Selections were ā ā ā ā
Game day coaching was ā ā ā ā
Zaharakis is just taking the ā ā ā ā
Stanton is all but finished
Myers has and will never be a defender
Hep should return to half back
Next week should be blooding at least one of Mutch, Clarke and Begley
Play Stewart and send Hooksy home to full back
Out: Zaharakis, McKenna, Hartley, Stanton, Francis
In: Stewart, Mutch, McGrath, McNiece, Langford
Some are still in the denial stage.
Matthewās Leuenbrrger is the worst ruckman in the league, he should never play in the senior game again, itās like having no ruckman ,we should bring in mckernan least heās good around the ground ,reason we fell down again was no genuine a grade midfielder ,most of our midfielders are two scared to put their body on the line, itās lucky for us that there is a Brisbane Lions, itās either going to be Brisbane or essendon to finish last again,this seasons done ,now played the kids .we have 's got nothing to lose now we, have to go after Josh Kelly or Matt Fyfe
whyād you leave?!?!?!??!?!?!
No matter how much you expect it and know that itās coming, WA umpiring drives me ā ā ā ā ā ā ā crazy. Was it 5 or 6 soft frees in front of goal? I lost count.
Heppell, Zerrett, Hurley and Goddard are great leaders to have at the club. Tried hard, got us going early and apart from a couple of errors, used it well.
Dea is average and always will be. Next.
Hartley was absolutely demolished but we lack any other options right now, unless we send Hooker back (which we wonāt).
Love Francis and Iām sure that heāll be a player but clearly isnāt ready atm; one-handed marks galore.
Zaka another nothing game. Not awful but mate, come on. Find something - we need you.
Colyer works his butt off but misses crucial goals/kicks when the game is on the line. The gap between his best and his worst needs to close quickly. Love his endeavor, though.
Play Myers on ball/wing or not at all. I forgot that Worsfold hasnāt coached him before and is yet to learn that heās not a defender. Gave away how many silly free kicks? Keep him in but away from the backline.
McKenna has really improved overhead. Isnāt AFL-ready yet, however. McGrath comes in for him next week.
Glad to see Joey bounce back and kick three goals straight. A couple of poor mistakes but will be a star.
I ā ā ā ā ā ā ā hate playing over in WA.
And then we could have another thread for most reasoned comments ā¦
Some are still in the denial stage
Lol - so true.
We have already travelled to Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth in the first 7 rounds. Players are exhausted.
Collingwood has been to Sydney once.
You are right - it has been a hard start as far as travel goes, but Adelaide have been to Melbourne, Gold Coast and Hobart and sit on top of the ladder.
The worst part after these losses is I donāt know if thereās anything we can do to fix it, apart from just waiting to see if it clicks, nothing to be proactive about it.
First half we were really good. We had their measure from the centre. Seemed to be winning all the clearances.
Third quarter fell back a bit, but they were always going to keep coming. Itās their home ground and they are more used to the heat.
Both the commentary and umpiring was woeful, there were simply not twice as many infringements from us as them. Simple equation.
Late on the third and all of the fourth it seemed we were lacking direction. Seemed to coincide with both Goddard and Hurley going off. We turned into headless chooks.
Three OOBs on the full FFs, one after the other by experienced players.
I couldnāt watch much of it after that. Was like a different team
Players down.
Tippa has done not much for weeks. There are the 1%'s of which there were none today, but they on their own are not sufficient.
Fanta has been down. Colyer good only in patches.
Gleeson so so.
Myers was in and out but not too bad for first game in 5 years or whatever.
Thought Heppell was a lot better.
Goddard and Hurley good
Joedan, Cale and Bags good in first half.
Youngāns always blow their load earlyā¦
itāll be interesting to see how many people give BJ votes, he had a substantial amount of turnovers, or as good as, in the first half.
- Myers was horrendous. Why the actual ā ā ā ā was he anywhere near the HBF.
- Gleeson is just no good, Iām sorry Iāve just had enough. He offers nothing to our side he is an absolute liability
- got our key defensive match ups wrong for a lot of the day
- can the real Brent Stanton please stand up?
Bitterly dissapointing to lose a game we had well in hand. I think we are in for some real hard times. We have a lot of blokes over 27 that donāt look anywhere near it.
Biased umpiring kept them within reach for too long.
Hurley desperately needs support down back.
I wish Daniherās surname wasnāt Daniher.
Tippa down back sweaping - worth a second look?
We need a genuine CHF & FF
We have the same win tally as Fark Carltonā¦ Faaaarrrrrkkkk
Dear oh dear - just ran a quick ladder predictor, and assuming we beat one of (wait for it), Gee, WCE, Rich, Port or GWS, weāll be 15th at the bye.
That is when Worshaās great plan kicks in and they will assess how we are going. Dionāt worry.
honourable loss.
