I understand the heightened emotion after this result but please don't compound the stress by feeling you're any less of a supporter by pulling back from the sport.
There's a lot of corporate driven guilt thrust upon to supporters through the club's marketing 'passion' 'pride' and 'the best...
JLO mentioned Hayden Young being tight in the hamstring during the game. Losing him would be a disaster, he's been making other players and coaches look good this year.
Looking like a blown pick at this stage, little to no awareness but like others have said... that's not really going to change with limited game time. He is way too slight to have any meaningful impact at this level, especially if he isn't reading the play like a top 10 pick should.
I can’t sleep thinking about how badly this club is being run at the moment so I came to BF to check in on a few things.
All I’ll contribute, is that the song the guitar guy is playing on the roof is almost 50 years old. That sums everything up for me.
Warning: hysterical and self-harming trade strategy post below.
I'd love the club to take an extremely hard stance with Liam Henry's trade value, with being comfortable in the potential outcome of him entering the PSD. If only to make the threat known that Colin's consistent wheeling & dealing...
It's never going to be one thing and on analysis across every category of influential team performance, I think we got a little worse in a lot of areas.
Head coach - I think Longmuir got complacent in an expectation of natural growth and struggled to evolve his game plan. He had two shocking...
I've been supremely pessimistic this season but seeing his last two weeks has addressed a lot of structural concerns that I've had going into next year.
He's not as powerful or dynamic as the best mids in the competition, but he has the class and aerial prowess that Brayshaw & Serong don't...
Loving his statistical good form to hopefully boost his trade value.
His defensive abilities are atrocious. His efforts are embarrassing and 99% of current AFL players should be able to break his tackles without too much effort. His increased statistical output also comes with a new average of...
If you needed reminding if we're firmly back in the willfully ignorant fog of AFL irrelevancy, then check out Craig McCrae's post match press conference from yesterday.
He spends most of it in conversation with the press pack about how the league needs to change the wording of 'Omitted' for...
I've been mostly negative on individuals this season but don't necessarily think any of Longmuir, Garlick & Bell need to be moved on at the end of the season.
However, I do think that removing Pearce as captain is of the upmost importance.
He would struggle to get a game in most AFL sides in...
10 goals in a quarter for a team desperate for a response.
I keep saying it, the players do not respond to him. The on-field leadership can't escape blame here either.
Collingwood may win this game by a lot of points but they'll never take away my right to waste the next few days by feeling extremely bad from our performance.
Couldn't believe when he said 'we're not going to catastrophise this performance' before going on to reference us beating Essendon and leading the Bulldogs in the last quarter.
Since the bye,
15 point loss v Richmond (H)
70 point loss v GWS (A)
32 point win v Essendon (H)
29 point loss v WB...
Yeah that was a good listen.
I can hardly think of a time where Walker or Clark have utilised their speed off of the back flank to open the game up. Couple that with their point about not needing to defend Alex Pearce when we're exiting D50, the team is essentially always outnumbered when we...

A total of 62 turnovers from those players. Absolutely staggering numbers.
A mix of experienced and younger players...
The heat really needs to be going on him now. A seriously regressive season with stubborn coaching and a lack tactical nous to adjust tactics from week to week and within games.
Players do not respond to him and he fails to convey a coherent roadmap during his media availabilities.
He's not...
Huge difference between Peace and Brayshaw.
Alex is on track for one of the worst full seasons of an AFL player that I have ever seen. Shouldn't be playing in the side, let alone leading by example.
Insipid, can't wait to hear him say 'tHe PlAyErS fAiLeD tO eXeCutE' in two hours.
Yes Justin, the players failed to execute for the 14th time this season and it has nothing to do with you.
