It was nice of the AFL to try to distract attention from us by sending the umps out for clown practice in the last quarter, and saying that the crowd was 15000 when in fact that was the number of empty seats.
Blitz is (sometimes) not easily distracted, though.
I agree something is very suspicious - they are not the best team, but they are not that utterly woeful either. It points to something else in my opinion.
I thought we were fine, got most things right. Right number of players. Right uniforms. Got to the correct ground on the correct date and time. The small final piece of the puzzle, how we play the game, will come together. Maybe not in the next 20 rounds, but at least at some point in the next 20 years.
I’ve got a big bag of salt and vinegar chips so I can afford to be patient.
Just came in to say that was one of the most embarrassing efforts I’ve seen since the Sydney Swans smashed us by 160+ points in 1992 - or whenever it was. I don’t know what I’ll do, I don’t even know if my football team were assigned their proper limbs and or vital organs today, but it felt all too much like playing Port Adelaide later the same decade. I’m not coming back for a while, or not at least until I’m told I need to be patient for the team to gel. So see you tomorrow. FK that was shithouse.
