AFL Toast RND 8: 3 Point win against the Crows

[doug85]

That was pathetic. smith, ham, McKenna, Gleeson need a spell.

Pathetic?

Without our best midfielder, 2 best forwards, our captain and arguably our best defender. And we won. And did it on the road.

Get some perspective.

My missus thought I was having a heart attack, seriously. As an aside how many players would get dragged across the coals if we lost.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Shocked by the negativity I’m seeing. Look at our injury list! That was ******* gutsy and we’re 5-2.

We get Shiel back next week. I’m pumped.

We were playing a dog s**t team missing their best player?

 

[Jobe Watson]

If it wasn't for our outs Devon Smith should be dropped. Been s**t all year.

 

[monty1104]

Yay we won?
That was horrendous. How are we top 4?

We have beaten 14, 16, 17, 18 for 4 of our 5 wins. We aren’t crash hot.

 

[boncer34]

But you would say that.

You think today was a performance by a good team?

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Geez we're a pack of campaigners who can't even enjoy a win. As a Melbournian I'll take any positivity I can get rn.

 

[Snake Charmer]

That 2 hours of torture wasn’t needed after 27 reschs last night.

 

[DapperDon]

For a team with our 2 best forwards missing and our captain. I'd take 5-1

It's ugly we definitely need improvement but some perspective is highly needed around here. Our best players are our young players which is a positive.

Big ask next week, back to the hub and see if we can find something to go to the next level.

No umpiring whining please we had the best for majority of the game.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Yeah, he's the only player of note missing...******* hell, just about done with this self-loathing board.

I'm not just talking about this game. But enjoy your hiatus?

 

[Jesse Custer]

I need a drink after that.

 

[windyhill]

brereton looks suitably f/off. Another win.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

******* hell.

Cahill was alright.

Zaka has gotta go - all he can do is finish and he’s missing shots under zero pressure. FFS just drop him!

Ridley is tracking All Aust.

Decent return from Francis.

Langford good, love him up forward.

Bellchambers was okay until the last few minutes. His absolute jibbing of two ruck contests on the outer side at the end - one throw in and one bounce - was deplorable. He’s just so soft. He just hit the deck and nearly cost us the game.

That’s the worst game Smith has ever played. He was a huge liability.

Parish great, leave him on the *in ball.

Hibberd, leave him the *in ball.

We have a fantastic backline.

McKenna... that attempted kick out of the air... one of the biggest WTFs in footy history. What the hell was that?

 

[TheBrightSide]

Cheer up fella‘s, I smell 4 points.

 

[andon]

Well done Bombers another good win.

We survived........

Il take a 3 point win anytime.

 

[JayJ20]

We have a huge problem with our percentage. Already played Adelaide, Sydney, Fremantle and North Melbourne. Scraped past all of them. Literally no percentage boosters left.

i have a mancrush on ridley

Don't even know what he expected to get out of it. If he had connected, I can't see it not being OTF or deliberate.

 

[Goat Hird]

Already overachieved this season

At the end of the day these blokes not being great was not the problem. Once again our second rate forward line was the issue. We dominated the middle for 3 quarters but could not put a score on the board.

Hawthorne....

 

[Drummer_19]

Too easy. Back on track for that percentage of just over 100, the real goal of every season. We were actually alright for a lot of it but it's hard to capitalise with such a stinky forward line.

It is an issue but are you really surprised we can not kick a score ? At least the Tigers had a super star in Reiwoldt when they went small in the forward line.

 

[Yoda_]

We're a bad footy team and sitting on 5-2 LOL

When you think about it, plenty of upside in this group.

Missing 25% of our best 22 and were sitting 5th. Get them all back and geebus, we could be alright
