Game Day Shinboners vs Pies GDT

[Tas]

it was another day against Collingwood where the rub of the green went their way.....is it a crowd thing?
the ball bounced right at times for them and bad at times for us a free kick here in the forward line or two our way and drew kicks goals its is inflated some what.

When you look s**t the umpires rarely give you a chop out. Pendles ducks, too high, we duck, you had prior opportuntiy, Elliot unrealsitic marking attempt shoves our player out of the contest, mark to the other bloke. A lot of s**t like that happens when you bumble around and look like s**t.

Had a sinking, sinking feeling pretty early on this one.

The non free when cloke had both hands in thompsons back was ridiculous.

 

[SMaturin]

And the bloke going for the spekky and not getting pinged for an unrealistic attempt.

So what is it?? Can we put it down to a tiredness thing after last week? Is that a fair excuse at all?

If we were over run...maybe. But we were never up to it.
Seems we're not mentally strong enough to bring "it" week in week out.
Without that consistency we're doomed to middle of the table finishes sadly.

Exactly my point Tas......I don't want to sound like a bad loser but there were some iffy free's their way and not ours.......Drews game today was better he is actually marking the ball and on his bike so to speak.......he just missed his shots at goal. LT missed shots at goal which is rare these days........kicking at goals for them this week. Boomers game was bruise free anyway you want to look at it....it was. Atley's defensive running is something that needs to be addressed......I mean you don't need to be einstein to know the ball will be given back to Pendlebury in a 1- 2 situation every day of the year......he need to be smarter. In fact I question his football smarts now, defensively. My 12 yr old son has more defensive smarts now than him and he plays soccer.

The cherry on top was the 50 to Elliott in the last. Margetts special. Every contest is a 50 if they start paying that!

Remember that this group haven't had that much exposure to the MCG.......we need to win one there very soon. In fact it might be worth looking into if this group of players have actually won there before. I don't think so.

Which has lead us nowhere for 13/14 years and will continue to lead us nowhere going forward. Constant Middle of the road finishes is like constant bottom 4 finishes without being gifted the top draft picks.

i cant handle the gap between our best and worst...our worst is the worst in the league and thats no joke.

So we haven't made any progress since Laidley. We were just as hot and cold.

 

[GarnerSmash]

And locked.

They beat Pies there in the last round last year.
