Review vs Footscray

Nothing team, nothing game plan, going nowhere.

Friday night, finals on the line and they turn up to save the game before it has begun. Result? We scored sub 50 and they doubled our score. No farking ■■■■.

When your highest possession getters on the ground are Jayden Laverde (FFS), Jordan Ridley, Mason Redman and Andrew McGrath, the game plan is a complete unmitigated piece of ■■■■.

Playing the slowest team known to man. Not playing a specialist small forward. Safe, conservative nothing bullshit from a coach who peaked getting a ■■■■ club to overperform a bit but never win anything.

No selection integrity - Weid carried for months, Stringer is an absolute joke, dropping our only proper small forward.

Fark I hope Sydney end our season next week. We’d absolutely embarrass ourselves in finals.

Demoralising.

Got reamed by the umpires early and simply gave up in the end.

We have gone way too far with our kick, mark game.

Kelly and Heppell are just so so bad at disposing the footy

Nothing has changed! I told you people the over-the-top praise after the Adelaide game was undeserved, went straight to their stupid little heads. God dammit. Do not praise these morons for anything until they do something actually worth praising. And after 20 years that can only come after winning a final.

I don’t know who I’m angry at more tbh

Essendon for the garbage they served up tonight

Or myself for starting to believe that the club had turned a corner

I try not to bag umpiring, and usually don’t, but decisions in the first half set the outcome for this game.

Season’s over, play the kids. Even if they fell into the top 8 they would get thrashed the first week. No point. How many times have we seen this before?

Every forward line in the world would suck with the way we move the ball forward. 2MP could have dominated if we got the ball in long and fast. We need to take more risks with the ball and definitely need more run and carry. Getting smashed around the clearances after quarter time made it even worse.
