NM v Collingwood GDT

[rm3504]

This is a horror show.

Stop talking north, just do it.

To the selection committee, pls stay off the red next time u pick the team

Lidsay Thomas crying on the bench according to ABC radio. Feel like that myself.

Hasn't had a touch yet. That's the only interest left in the game. Will he get a disposal off?

He's actually had a couple of touches and run a few guys down, and hasn't yet tweeked his hamstring so it's a positive at this stage.

This is where we're at, period.

A few were lulled by a month of winning, and yes it was enjoyable, but let's face it, they were wins against the lowest of low in the competition.

This is the crap we serve up when we're up against the best, and it's not good enough. Should really be showing more by now.

We all know it will take time, but I see zero progress from last year.

I'm not gonna squeal like a pig and demand the axe be swung, although it should (Thomas really needs a spell, it's clear now).. It's the spirit and intent that's missing as soon as they're challenged. It's happening every time - we start okay, we're challenged a bit, and it falls into the abyss. Every. Time.

If you cant execute skills, wtf are you doing at AFL level anyway? They absolutely KILL us.

At the end of the day there are 22 against 22, and they need to live in the moment with some intensity. FFS, I've seen it happen with Laidley as coach even, the purple patch where we beat the Swans in 2007. Years before we drew with the Lions when they were at their peak. It can be done and I hate this pandering to our 'youth' and lowering the bar because we 'will be good once day'.

An absolute disgrace, it has to be said.

 

[gokangas]

FFS! We have kicked three goals in three quarters. FFS.

 

[big_e]

4.13 in our last four quarters of footy.

 

[gokangas]

Positives:
Wellsy and Swallow better quarter.
Basti having a fair day.
Hansen doing ok on Cloke.

 

[Jonnoo]

don't know his stats but Jack is battling away manfully.

 

[KangaFett]

Deplorable

Insipid

Pathetic


and this will go on for another year.....just like the previous half dozen and the REAL changes that need to be made wont......because its a footy club blah blah.

time to get real. no perform, no pay and door.

 

[ssreid]

Really was expecting some sort of improvement today this is just not exceptable.

 

[Angus1]

The annoying thing fr me is we continue to just bomb the ball forward after doing it last week.
It's as if nothing was learnt.
Our forward strategy is a disaster.
Surely we are better off making leads and passing to them rather them bombing long.

He's actually had a couple of touches and run a few guys down, and hasn't yet tweeked his hamstring so it's a positive at this stage.

Stats have him with with 0 touches and 3 tackles at 3 quarter time

 

[gokangas]

Interesting to hear the commentators talking about Thomas - saying he is shattered, inconsolable, and shed a tear. Said that Edwards had to almost drag him off the bench to join the huddle at 3/4 time.

 

[Angus1]

We need to get something out of this game otherwise it's just a waste of time like last week.

 

[gokangas]

30 seconds into the last quarter and Brown kicks one from 50. Now I just want to vomit.

 

[Hopping Mad]

Great start to the term!

 

[Roos4eva]

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hopping Mad]

Oh wait forgot my sarcasm.

 

[gokangas]

I'm struggling to think of what we can salvage now. Maybe try and win the last quarter but the start wouldn't suggest that.

 

[ssreid]

So we add speed to the side this week and it makes no difference.Pagan once said its played 90% above the shoulders.

Maybe we should re-recruit the Duck? His body looked to be in great shape during the Legends game.

 

[gokangas]

Campbell just doubled his stats this quarter.

 

[Mordecai]

First quarter is testament to that - we are not there yet, they knew it when we they went 30 points down and took the foot off the gas.

 

[gokangas]

We have the month from hell coming up. Can't see how we are going to be any happier over the next month. Oh well, think how much we save by not having to buy finals tickets.

 

[gokangas]

Thomas back on - would be nice to see him finish the day with a goal or two. Come on Lindsay.
