Autopsy Flogged by way more composed swans, back to the bad old days.

A bit stiff on LDU, thought he was okay given they tried to shut him down for the entire game. I mean, not many players get tagged by Jordan and still make it out with 25 disposals, 5 tackles, 4 clearances and 3 interceptions.
Not saying he’s free from criticism, but not really the game to target him given the circumstances he had to deal with.

 

[Gasometer]

Given the supposed upward trajectory for this team that was our most disappointing loss in years.

WTF is going on at our beloved club?

Pleasing to see you have erased Rd 24 v Hawks last year

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

We learnt a valuable lesson Vapour. We need to wait until these young guys play 60, 80 or 100 games.

150-200? Our older brigade are the ones dropping the torch as much as our “young guns” in the midfield.

But Clarkson should be expecting a tag on our best player. Apart from the first ten minutes, nothing was tried to minimise the impact of this tag. I don’t know if Clarkson has the tactical creativity to make - what is now a team ready to win games - able to do so.

 

[Gasometer]

A couple of observations from the tv

-3/4 time Larkey looked like he took two pills running into the forward line. Was he unwell?

-Warner going the high five on Parker after he kicked a goal. Smart arse.

 

[Zondor]

We were more experienced than Syd last night.

Average games - NM 103. Syd 101.

Average age - 26 each side.

This is the list Rawling built.

The truth is staring you all in the face. :stern look

 

[Zondor]

But Sydney are a Grand Finalist.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

We collectively flat out refuse to lead.

We want the ball long and high because we make believe we have contested marking beasts down there.

We need a genuine Key forward with marking power.

Maley or Teakle who ever plays better should play against the Suns. They should know this prior to the game today. Step up and a spot is yours.

We cannot have the ball movement we do and the structure we hold. They are incompatible.

lol it’s a head scratcher isn’t it? If we had a Curnow, Thilthorpe, etc you could excuse the long bomb. But we’ve got Larkey who’s a lead up/back forward who flops around under any contact, a 190cm forward in darling who just pushes his opponent in every pack and Zurhar who has literally had one contested mark all season so far (look it up, shocking).

But sure boys, call for the ball in long and high cos you can’t be ****ed leading.

In this a flip on Scotts?

Agreed. But the problem I have is that many of same people that are potting on LDU’s performance are the same one’s praising Sheezel’s comeback performance.
Not his fault, but Swans basically let Sheezel run free until late into the third quarter. And if say they had chosen him to be the player that JJ went to shutdown yesterday, in lieu of LDU, then would people be criticising Sheezel and praising LDU instead?
All I’m saying is that there have been far more decorated ‘AFL superstars’ that have fared far worse under a Jordan tag. When we go criticising players, then just think context needs to be taken into account.

How far is Eddie away?

[nelroo]

Still so angry AF this morning . The players, the club I don’t know.
For those of us that put up our hard earnt and turn up to games like me, I question if it’s even worth it. I’m a die hard but I’m seriously questioning it because how much more of these performances can we take when we see the same shit year on year..

 

[Gasometer]

TF for Oscar Piastri fwiw

So we are bitching about the club being woke now?

Is it because the club has lesbian footballers in our women’s team?

Let’s see who those lesbians are that make the club “woke”

Our Captain Emma Kearney, one of the best to ever play in the league, league Best and Fairest winner and multiple AA selections.

Jasmine Garner, the GOAT of the league and BOG in a GF

Jenna Bruton, one of the clubs best players, won a PF of her own boot.

Emma King and Kim Rennie, two very good rucks

Sarah Wright, BOG in the first half in a GF.

Tess Craven, a young developing footballer, whose best game came in a grand final.

Our full forward Thalia Randall.

All members of our undefeated Premiership team.

Last time I checked it wasn’t the woke or the lesbians that have ****ed the club up.

It was hiring an incompetent ex-North player and letting him destroy the list and the culture to the point that the only players that will come to the club are the dregs (Luke Parker aside because he has been excellent).

It was hiring an interim coach with no due diligence or search for any other coach.

It was hiring a person who may have been good in a football admin role, but who was not and never was a senior coach.

It was hiring assistants that should never have been near an AFL club.

Our woke Women’s team are winning flags, our men’s teams are winning wooden spoons and disgracing the club.

Maybe we need the LGBTQ community in the men’s team. Wouldn’t be hard to find a leather daddy that can teach Larkey to lift properly instead of some scrawny Irish bloke.

We’re not, just one person who’s entire personality brings everything back to right-wing politics

 

[Themanbun]

Great analysis. You need to start a Shinboner style blog. I'm being genuinely serious.

I've thought about Themanbun's Midfield Minute but I don't think I could be as consistent as the great man running The Shinboner

Where you been Oct to Feb?

It’s been a daily event

 

[itchyscratch]

-Warner going the high five on Parker after he kicked a goal. Smart arse.

Warner = Colin Carpenter.

 

[DunderHead]

There is no switch. The same team need to get in the park and play more games together. This won’t be our last bad loss for the season.

 

[zoomba23]

How far is Eddie away?

Depends where you are

 

[trooroo4life]

This is the list Rawling built.

6 years into the rebuild and we’ve got no more then 5 players who are reliable kicks. No afl standard key defender. No key forward capable in a 1on1 contest or the air. And worst of all after building from the midfield out, our midfield is starting to look too one dimensional.

I feel like a broken record, but how is this hack still in the job.

 

[marklovesbeer]

I never watch Sydney - unless it’s against us or they’re losing another Grand Final - but f*** me, does that Chad Warner seem like an absolute tosser.

 

[Marstermind]

It won't be our last bad loss this week. The Suns are going to spifflicate us on Saturday afternoon.

Our group is so weak willed and insipid, there will be no response. The last few seasons have been the same - a couple of OKish performances to start, then the reality check, then the meltdown and then the season is stuffed.

Expect 6-8 weeks of shite now, then we get excited over a couple of wins against other crap teams and maybe an honourable loss or two, before stinking up the last month and finishing bottom 3 with 3-4 wins. The Gold Coast are flying and will feast on us.

Rinse, repeat, flush.
