Game Day Match Discussion - RD 22 vs. Hawthorn. Thur 07/08 @ 7:30pm (MCG)

[Aussie pie]

I’m done. Shit mids, shit mids, shit forwards. Old and slow.
Ins: Cox, AJ, Harry D, Allan and Finn.
McStay to stay down back.
We are so vanilla it’s ridiculous.

Of course none of these changes will happen. Cox is probably the only one but we definitely need a different mix or it’s not even going to be straight sets out in the finals it’ll be one game.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Where’s Mr.positive?

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

Put a fork in us.
We're done...
What has happened?
I'm not sure Howe would have helped much.

 

[Chronz]

Seemed only a few weeks we were up y 10 points on the ladder. The GC and Freo resting bullshit has done us in.

 

[upnsmoke]

Howe being knocked out rattled us.

We look bereft of confidence. Fast turning into a wasted season at this rate.

You'd think they would be fired up seeing their team mate get bulldozed.

 

[Soups]

Bring Dean back asap

 

[Kes1984]

I think jarrod wade’s training plan over the last 2 months has backfired big time.
This side has literally no energy whatsoever.
Absolutely nothing in the tank, the whole side has fallen off the cliff from a physical standpoint.

Think wade has stuffed it up big time.

Seems so
Counted their chickens before they hatched. Killed this season now

 

[Shade]

Absolutely zero impact from the coaches btw. Continue with the same old shit in midfield and make no changes to the setup. Crisp, Schultz, Josh, Houston… try something ffs.

Conservatism is an absolute cancer.

Talks a big game Fly does little of substance.

 

[DWil6]

The old players aren't the issue. These season was ruined by the arrogance of our coaches the minute they decided to mess with our winning chemistry

It could easily be both. Our midfield has been poor for a long time. Can’t buy a clearance.

 

[Collingwould]

I think it's clear the serious teams are now winning games, the pretenders are being pushed aside. This side, the players ages, coming home to roost

 

[Unknown Identity]

Absolutely zero impact from the coaches btw. Continue with the same old shit in midfield and make no changes to the setup. Crisp, Schultz, Josh, Houston… try something ffs.

Conservatism is an absolute cancer.

It's ok, we'll play super aggressive for the last 15 minutes of the match and take an honourable 13 point loss.

 

[CheckerTrade666]

I don’t want anybody comparing this to our late season slump in 2023. This is way worse, we looked likely to miss out on the top 4 at this rate. We just look completely broken at the moment.

 

[frizzle]

You can tell Fly knows this is on him

Him & skipworth have looked in panic from the moment Howe went off.

 

[Fat Jesus]

I'm not often negative. I don't like all this managing players bullshit.
Get in there. Prima donnas

 

[Smackdos]

So bloody disheartening

 

[YouBeauty]

Where’s Mr.positive?

In hiding. Wait until the excuse merchants start blaming injuries again.

 

[ANewDawn]

Did Dave say we were shit and going to lose? Because I’m pretty sure that’s what he said right up until the siren in 2023 as well.

He was wrong then but right today. The season looks to be all but over too.

 

[Deathray]

Jack Riewoldt stating the bleeding obvious isn’t helping the viewing experience.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Once the dust settles on the whole temporary high from the feel good fun loving Fly. It was a fun 24 months.

You'll fine he's strategically worse than Voss.

Oh he’s an awful match day coach and always has been. He’s pretty much just about vibes and doesn’t really have anything else in his kitbag.

 

[Pies_10]

Every week we are 40 or 50 disposals down on the oppo. We just don't get the ball, how can you score without winning any clearances or being able to turn the ball over like we were at one stage

 

[Hardas]

It was a fun ride while it lasted, but we look horrific, awful ball use, defence all at sea, unorganised, smashed in the air, smashed at clearance, don’t see us fixing this whatsoever.

I'm amazed at how many poor kicks are happening in each game now.
And the distinct lack of tackling pressure by quite a few.
I am at a loss.

 

[Silky23]

McStay just not doing anything right yet again

**** he’s been useless. Plays soft and doesn’t have any elite qualities. What’s his role in our side?

 

[Silver Tongue]

Wow. We look ordinary. We are getting smashed in the middle.

 

[nickyds35]

Knew we would let Newcombe come back and be bog as soon as he knocked out howe.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Ned Long, 1 touch.

Goodonya Fly.
