Autopsy Preseason Matchup vs Melbourne - Friday 20 February

[gokangas]

Sigh.

 

[Dan]

There's nothing I've seen so far that tells me we've improved.

And the things is....if there is improvement from this team....it needs to be seen in the first half of the home & away season. Not the back end when there's nothing on the line in a bunch of dead rubbers after we've been getting beat nearly every weekend.

 

[Intothewind]

Just catching up on the score now

 

[zoomba23]

Played enough footy to know these games mean dick.

Conversely, I've watched enough North to know we're shit

 

[deano28]

Waiting for us to “ make it happen “

 

[DuckYeah]

Roses are red, violets are blue, the same shit happens for me and you

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Reminder that some people genuinely believed we could win 12-13 games this year.

I was one of them, I should be tested lol.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

What are we practicing?

Losing. We aren’t quite champions at it apparently.

 

[zoomba23]

Dead right if we where killing them some on here would be saying it doesn't count cause it's a practice match.

If we were killing them and Melbourne appeared to be trying, I'd be the happiest man in the world. Enough of your disingenuous happy clapping

 

[Loose_Cannon]

Parker dealt with a bit rudely and Xerri immediately smashed the bloke.

If nothing else at least there’s a bit of mongrel about one of our players.

 

[Samsquanch]

Some old issues opposition kick to a open forward line where ours is congested

Exactly. Our backs are 3m off their men. Our forwards are a metre behind theirs.

 

[Ura]

I still have no idea what has happened in this game. The only thing I can deduce from this thread is that the mental health institutions are going to see an uplift in new patients again this season - starting tomorrow morning.

North getting belted.

Positives- has been some good ball movement at times.
Duurs moving well and looks highly skilled
I think LDU in particular has had some really good moments.
Larkey doing well with limited moments.
CCJ took a couple of nice pack marks

Negatives- Hardeman injury
Super poor transition defence from the outset
Running half the effort of our oppo and noticable
Some really poor bombing into F50

 

[Samsquanch]

X is pissed off big time.

Roughly so.

Maybe we should try ufc

 

[Lomas]

Please stop saying the ‘word’ celly

 

[The5YearPlan]

Mate if ever a team needed to show something today it was us . Instead they have thrown up nothing zilch I can’t find one positive out of this , if you can please enlighten me with it.

Bro… how many best 18 are missing?

Have you ever played at Casey? Cause I have it’s a blustery shit hole, it’s 30+ degrees and it’s the first hit out of the year.

You wanna positive? It’s given mouth breather north supporters something to bitch about.

 

[My Left Foote]

What are we practicing?

Being shit.

 

[Hojuman]

X is pissed off big time.

Roughly so.

As his " real " side St Kilda will march up the ladder and play finals.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Being shit.

We don’t need to practice that

 

[kangamike]

Take the $1.81 for Port in Rd1 whilst it's still there....

I was just thinking the same.

 

[trooroo4life]

Played enough footy to know these games mean dick.

Obviously haven’t watched enough the last decade to realise this has been our level the entire time.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Watch this be a ten goal quarter to Melbourne

So no positives?

 

[DuckYeah]

People come at me for my diatribe of absolute sense and now what? We are a ****ing joke. There is not one iota of “Shinboner” in this club… hey lets ****in parade around for minorities as a voice of reason… football is secondary, as long as we are a pathway for the Melb Uni womens alumni, who gives a **** huh? **** this shit

 

[The5YearPlan]

So no positives?

Clever boy
