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

Did anyone else look forward to this game all week? So ****ing depressed

I was pumped. So disappointing seeing us dish this up.

Not sure if you have watched them both this year. Noble has been amazing for GC. Houston has been terrible.

That’s before you even factor in the picks we gave up for the ‘upgrade’

I remember how Noble actually played for us. You're imagining that he would somehow play like he is this year on our team - it's not happening

 

[TW Sherrin]

Cameron not helping his cause. Meek has 30 HO and 3 goals.

 

[Rusty Beam]

Do WC have a young key defender we can get for him?

Pointless keeping Cameron now, we not going to win anything for a while. Get what we can

Harry Edward’s is the one. But they aren’t giving him up.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Im just waiting for Fly's presser....The game is just the under card to the real show...

 

[partypie]

The only regret 'm having at the moment is that were already a lock for the top 8, which means that we all have to watch us play this really weak, shitty brand of football (with literally nobody showing any degree of pride for the jumper or seemingly any desire whatsoever to even be competitive) for one more week than we otherwise might have.

 

[regpies]

Right from the start we’ve looked so low energy. It’s not pace, every team looks slow without the ball, but we just have no zip. Zero turnover and run in waves of support, no finding space to give an option.

He was fantastic last year when he came back in.

 

[Daicosian silk]

Why grind the energy out of the team with a block of hard training? As an older team, we need all the fresh legs we can get!

This sort of mirrors Mayne at the beginning and Shoota last year. Cept last year we had a much bigger injury list that didn’t aid Shoota being at his best.

 

[Piewithsauce13]

Anyone know where NAS is?

 

[cityslick1]

Houston’s effort on Chol was awful. Watch it again. No body contact no effort.

All he’s done is shit kicking and soft handballs. Not worth the trade tell him to **** right off.

Easily his worst game ever. Something has happened in the background. Injury / personal stuff / laziness with fat contract. No way anyone can drop off that much for no reason…

Cameron not helping his cause. Meek has 30 HO and 3 goals.

If noneck has put a lower contract Infront of him maybe its the right move

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Titch is done. You can’t carry that ball use.

I thought there would be a response this week, yet it’s getting worse by the week.

I've been reading and listening to and watching everything in the build up. Should have just eaten muffins and watched reruns of Seinfeld.

 

[Smackdos]

Our spirit died 1 min into the game when Howey went down. Everyone will feed off this and we are the laughing stock of the AFL for blowing this chance. We will be lucky to scrape into the 8 and we will ponder our future.

 

[TradeDraft]

Bet majority of Pies fans be like me heading home now

 

[upnsmoke]

Cox might’ve been better for our structure tonight. Aka giving DC a chop out.

Not even joking... Cox gives defenders trouble.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Cameron not helping his cause. Meek has 30 HO and 3 goals.

Cameron is thinking about the $ he can get from WC...

 

[spartan-magpie]

Wow. This is diabolical.

Even if we pull a rabbit out of the hat and win the flag - we’ll be lucky to make the 6 after Adelaide - we need to cut this list back.


I can’t believe how poor Houston is. Crisp looks like he’s cooked. Moore has become terrible. Our midfield is painfully slow and unable to win much ball.

the last 5 weeks we’ve been badly exposed. I hope the dads army experiment is put to bed.


And to be honest, anyone over 32 should getting a 1 year deal, no exceptions, and on no more than average wage.

Eliot won’t last 2 years. Mihocek won’t last 2 years. WHE is done. Crispy looks tired, Moore, not been the same since 23, we have no good extractors.


Hawthorn will not win a final. We are making them look amazing.

That actually sounds like a good night

No, he was not. You've got some special rose-tinted glasses on

Against the Hawks?
No, it’s the worst week of the year


Every side of ours plays like squibs against them once every season for three decades

 

[Finnishpie]

Be nice, guys. It's cold out there.

Not as coid as it is IN MY SOUL.
