But will McCreery and Hill even be back next week? Hill has played half a game in 6 weeks and McCreery’s year has been one long injury.

Your guess is as good as mine unfortunately

 

[wello]

Would like to see a few from the 2s get a go in last couple of games. Parker, Steele, Steene why not. Not more games to WHE etc

So where to now?

Was quite transparent that the club went all chips in on a flag this year.

The only hope is by some miracle we win it. Now top 2 is gone and likely top4 , chances are uber slim.

So where to now, or more accurately next year?

Will the club go all in again? That would seem ambitious at best

So a 'regeneration'? Full rebuild? Does Fly still go on dates with Jsos? Does Jsos lose interest now?

So disappointing!

 

[Vicky Park]

Well that sucks. I wasn’t in enough pain, so I’ve just read some of the game day thread and now I feel a lot worse.

So many maybes - has our advanced age caught up with us? Too many concurrent injuries to the wrong players? Worries about Bobby and Houston? Media talk about disgruntled players? I’ve no idea.

I’m not prepared to put all the blame on Fly - he had us humming for the first half of the season. And as things fell apart, maybe he didn’t have the answers. He’s not infallible.

Clearly, there’s no flag for us this year, but at least we can try to claw back some respect and self-belief before our season is over.

Go Pies!

 

[partypie]

Geez I knew tonight was shit but didn't think it was bad enough to drop us to equal bottom on zero wins.

gouki88 danielnajdek Told you the Hawks were scary.

Boo!

 

[IlovethePies]

Something’s wrong at the club I was right on the boundary next to the box and when Howe gor knocked out Moore ran over to fly and demanded he make the sub fly looked at him with a blank face. Moore screamed at him again make the sub now, McCrae didn’t even flinch. I knew then there was something wrong.

Not sure what this proves TBH.
Fly might have been shocked at Jem's injury 2 minutes into the game.
I guess Moore screaming at him is a concern.

 

[wello]

Mids jesus. Nick’s been covering some gaps this year, bandaid fully ripped off now

 

[The Royal Sampler]

We got it wrong at selection. Should have managed the entire team. We’d be playing Adelaide fresh, Bobby and Beau back in and Howe would be our defensive general.

They're not that scary, we're just that bad.

 

[Monco Matt]

Give this a like if you also knew one of Whorethorns thugs was going to take out one of our key players early?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

It’s going to be a very very long week.

It’s like someone shat in the bed but we’re still forced to sleep in it.

 

[Peters_Nuts]

Probably the most disappointed I’ve been after a loss in some time. It’s hard to be angry after a loss if the boys put the effort in, but to just roll over 10 mins in the 2nd quarter is just disappointing.

Even the Hawks will admit they have the “weakest” midfield of the top 8 sides and they just killed us.

This should’ve been a game where the result shouldn’t have mattered in the grand scheme of things but I’m afraid now that player management has come to bite us.

Feel bad for Sidey.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Is this a movie reference?

Pulp Fiction. My apologies to those who haven’t seen it.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Speed speed speed.

Thats it.

Nah, maybe.. dont know.

Season not over...always a chance.

But yeah, this is hard to stomach

Is there an echo in here?

 

[Monco Matt]

Defenders can’t defend.
Midfield is slow.
Forwards can’t kick straight.

And they're the positives.

 

[Jedi01]

The thought of what Adelaide’s 3 talls will do to our backline is scary.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Someone needs to be held accountable!

Clearly Charlie Dean's fault!

 

[Magpie_man]

What if, the heavy training sessions have a delayed effect? We could all be eating our words come first week of finals when the extra training we have been doing finally kicks into the players and we become unstoppable….

 

[No SPIN]

Howe injury no way contributed to this in a material way.

Writing has been on the wall for weeks. Whilst fly’s presser will be v v interesting

Too many best 22 players going backwards. Moore, Long, crisp, de Goey, WHE a spectator, and of course Houston…. We def do have a problem.

Age and lack of pace has finally caught up with us. And confidence is shot. Fumbles and slips everywhere.

Maybe some of the ‘showing love for another’ sessions need to be replaced with intensity and basics training. Eg hawks front and centre at every contest. And STOP bombing the ball into the fking forward line!

Would be an amazing story to come back from this in the finals. We wait, in hope….

Go pies

We’ve been lamenting the absence of the defensive general as an issue for weeks - but losing him in the first 2 minutes was NOT material?
Ok then!!
