Just watched it as though live. I don’t want to say anything now that I will regret in the morning.
I’m now off to cry myself to sleep at that effort.

What pisses me off the most about that whole incidence is that we delisted him while under contract.Spot on and an exact point in case is the bloke who was BOG tonight.
He was treated appallingly by Dew. Now look at him go under a coach who doesn't throw the baby out with the bath water.
Yeah but he's no good on the spread and doesn't defend. Glad we delisted

I understand that sounds obvious but he was only on about 400k a year. why would you delist a guy, who was your best midfielder a year prior, on minimal coin, when you gain NOTHING out of it.
Like I would even have understood dropping him to the 2's for a while. If the coaches wanted him to work on things, I can understand that. But to delist him? It's was genuinely almost as bad as the Treloar deal this year. If we were a big market team we would have been absolutely crucified for how that went down.
Glad he's been killing it at Brisbane tbh.
But we needed to get rid of Lyons to get games into Brodie37 touches and growing with 36 pressure acts and 9 tackles - no future in that kid . #FUDew

I nearly fell over with that one should have been challenged. Absolutely rubbish. Man up and admit you monumentally failed to develop that player and coach his clear strengths. Absolute embarrassing attempt to deflect his responsibility and accountability.Dew tried to justify in press conference by saying replaced him with Greenwood
Probably acknowledges it privately, nothing to gain by saying it publicly.I nearly fell over with that one should have been challenged. Absolutely rubbish. Man up and admit you monumentally failed to develop that player and coach his clear strengths. Absolute embarrassing attempt to deflect his responsibility and accountability.
Absolutely Bods treated completely differently to others because Dew didn't like him for some unknown reason.I witnessed Dew on a number of occasions go down to the bench to have a crack at Lyons. I never saw him do it to anyone else.
He clearly had a beef with him.
Im wavering now on Dew and I’ve probably been his most vocal supporter here.
Our defenders are not one on one defenders, they play good team defence, but when the midfield is as flat footed as this, we just don't have a hope in hell. We just haven't been able, or willing, to pressure the ball carrier.
Ainsworth is killing me, I thought he was a shot at bnf last year before injury.
But again, we are still young, and missing witts rowell miller day and hollands. I'm not on the dew witch hunt just yet

To be fair why would he bother even trying?Fiorini is the laziest footballer. Did you watch his VFL game? Not worthy of a recall. Could not hit a target to save his life.
Because he is payed pretty ******* well tooTo be fair why would he bother even trying?
While I agree he's really hard done by and I'd like to see him in the middle playing firsts, it shouldn't matter what level you're playing at if you've been drafted by an AFL team and you're on the money he's on. If you can't muster up the effort to try, even in ressie's, you don't deserve the call up to the seniors.To be fair why would he bother even trying?

Yeah nahWhile I agree he's really hard done by and I'd like to see him in the middle playing firsts, it shouldn't matter what level you're playing at if you've been drafted by an AFL team and you're on the money he's on. If you can't muster up the effort to try, even in ressie's, you don't deserve the call up to the seniors.
Probably speaks to where we're at as a team though. People think they're so entitled to games in the senior side they refuse to try hard in the seconds, even if they are being overlooked. It's probably why we went out of our way to draft and trade for guys like Holman, GHS, Corey Ellis, Murdoch and Townsend. They're not world beaters and they probably aren't/weren't going to make it, but they put in 100% effort every game and every training session trying to get the most out of themselves, even if it didn't or doesn't pay off.
I think the speech LeBron James gives here (albeit about basketball) probably sums it up the best:
WATCH: LeBron James drops golf reference in motivational speech to youth basketball team
LeBron James was speaking to the AAU squad one of his son's plays for, and dropped a golf reference that, well, wasn't a great compliment.golf.com
“We got Hall of Famers and some of the best players to ever play the game came off the bench – or didn’t play. That don’t mean you ain’t good. There’s guys in the NBA that don’t play. Does that mean they not good? They got to the NBA because they were sorry? They’re just playing a role.
If you don’t want a role, play tennis or play golf. Because then you can do what the [expletive] you want to do, and then you’ve got nobody else to blame because it’s only an individual sport. If that’s what you want to do, play tennis or play golf. But if you want to play a team sport, there’s going to be things you’ve got to give up to get what you want.”
Needs to have a stronger character then. We have a combo of a coach that plays favourites and players unwilling to work harder when things aren't going their way. Look at Richmond, their players work their rings off for the club no matter what level they are at and have the correct coaching to get them above and beyond. We are lacking so bad in strong character it is a massive issue. So many sooks and has been that way for way to long.Must be pretty unmotivating to know once you’re out of flavour with the coach your papers are stamped though
