Game Day Round 22: West Coast v Melbourne (23/08/2014)

[Major Colvin]

I enjoy football

 

[Topkent]

Can we actually start an 80's punch on?
Half these spuds wont be on an AFL list next year anyway

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Yes we were always going to lose but I hope whoever was dared to field this team won something sweet in the bet to make it worth it.

 

[Dez!]

Could of sworn I saw Dawes spank Priddis after tackling him and riding him like a horse.

 

[CWaffles]

I seriously would love to see Roosy just go down at half time with a shotgun and start putting them down one by one, its not fair to let them go on.

 

[CTHORANGE]

This is Neeld footy now, the players have given up on everything we learnt early in the season

Sounds like it

Back to tumbling random kicks down the line from stoppages, back to bombing it forward without thinking. What happened to the possession game we were using earlier in the year, the safe possession game of going back and slowing it down and just getting SOME kind of control. It's all out the window. TSure the possession game wasn't going great guns, but at least it meant the defence wasn't being caught out of position every 30 seconds.

 

[Dez!]

Yay Fitzy!

If our season was compared to a boxing match we blocked our way through the first 7 or so rounds offering the odd jab here and there but keeping it tight and sticking mostly to the ropes.

Then we hit a point where our blocking started getting a little tired and now we're getting pummelled. Of course we could try to give some swings back but we don't know how and have been conditioned to just cower in the corner of the ring waiting for the final bell. The coach constantly reminds us of our history of beatings for support.

If Roos doesn't do his *en job this offseason and teach these depressed mother*ers how to throw a punch then I'm done. They don't have to be Muhammad Ali but by Christ they have to learn how to fight anyway they can.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Thank you Fitz.

Its just bombing the footy long to out numbered contests and rebounding

That would imply there was passion, something these spuds really sound like they are in short supply of

 

[Dez!]

Derm and Shaw ripping into Nev for losing a 2 on 1.

You old f***silly people.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Tony Shaw is an idiot. Jetta would be one of the first five players picked in our team.

Thats actually the best analogy ive read on here

When we fought against the tiges, crows, blues and bombers they were all low on confidence and allowed us to hang back on the ropes
Instead of throwing punches against us they allowed us to get the odd jab in here and there whilst conserving energy
Now that we have been asked to fight from the opening bell we have been hit like a misbehaving child

 

[Dez!]

Why didn't he leave his man? Possibly because Frawley was there to get the ball carrier, hurry up and kick the bucket you old f***ing rejects.

 

[dee_mac]

Haha. How's tmac putting himself off the mark. Jesus

 

[Topkent]

We have been ******* bent over and raped by the umpires
I hate complaining about it but fair dinkum

 

[CWaffles]

TMac is actually useless, can't hit targets, can't mark can barely handball.

 

[Dez!]

Love you Fitzy!

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

A bit of spine? Surely not?

 

[Dez!]

How the f*** is this only 38 points?

 

[deeco]

Fitz nose football!

 

[Topkent]

Well Done Jack Fitzpatrick

A better forward than Old mate Dawesy

 

[mrmonkey]

3 goals in a half just that's a mini win.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

* you Fitz, I'm going to have to watch a bit longer now.
