That call is beyond a joke

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Maybe lightning can strike twice and Kingsley can get us back in the second half?

 

[Adam Giant]

Diabolical second quarter. I know there are injuries but we are making one of the worse teams in the comp look like the Harlem Globetrotters.

Good ol' Nicholls

 

[Drummond]

Wow, how disappointing. Injuries, travel etc, but it’s West Coast. West Coast.

 

[BarryAglett]

We need to take on the game and be less timid.
Leaders need to show the way.
There's plenty of time to improve on that quarter.

 

[Hendo_21]

Mids got smacked that quarter felt like every clearance was coming right out of the middle down our defenders throats, tough to keep em away when it keeps coming in. All 3 of Hogan's misses have been super gettable.

 

[Drummond]

Going to say something possibly controversial, don’t hate me. I thought Ash would be a lot better than he is by now. 4th year on the list, 58 games, wheres the progress? He’s stagnating. I loved him early days, loved his potential, but now, I’m not so sure. What’s happened?

 

[Simmofreo]

It’s going to be a long year peeps

Missed some very makeable set shots today.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Not much to like so far other than some moments from Rowston and Buckley.

I’m over Riccardi, he’s a dumb footballer.

 

[Section226]

First thing Kingsley should do is banish Riccardi to the reserves, never to grace the senior team again.

Himmelberg? Send him down back.

This team is all over the place.

Another wasted year coming up. We're perpetually bottoming out.

I can’t disagree, he is a very vanilla player and for a Pick 4 it’s a bit disappointing. I liked him as a tagger, he seemed quite effective doing that. He doesn’t seem to have the breakaway speed he showed as a junior.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

I guess Cadman debuts next week vs Carlton?

Unless Riccardi kicks 4 this quarter his spot is up for grabs.

 

[Adam Giant]

Himmelberg and Riccardi useless up forward. At least we know Harry can play (as a backman).

There might be more Carlton fans than Giants fans at Giants Stadium next Saturday night.

 

[dlanod]

The number of times our mids are getting dragged to the ground without the ball is pathetic. Makes the game near unwatchable.

 

[Andre the Giant]

It’s hard to put anything but a negative spin on this. We are playing the 2nd worst team in the comp who are without their best player. Losing is one thing but being uncompetitive against these plonkers is extremely disappointing.

Dare I say Harley Reid…

 

[Section226]

Kingsley needs to eradicate the long bomb into the forward 50.

It is so damn predictable that instead of leads in different directions, offense and defense gather in a clump.

There's just no system in getting the ball to the forwards in space.

 

[Giant Pete]

We need genuine crumbing forwards. So many times the ball hit the ground from the marking contest and they had players at the fall of the ball.
Look forward to having Jones and Bedford in.

 

[BarryAglett]

I hope fatigue from last week was a real factor.
Too much deja vu from previous years.

 

[Giant Strides]

A somewhat typical GWS game. Nearly, almost, missed (gettable) shots, passes just not quite cleanly taken, fumbled marks, biased umpiring & injuries all conspired against us. Finn Callghan seemed like he was dragged down every time he got near the ball (before touching it!), but they got every little tiggy touchwood free. But we also missed multiple gettable shots, that if we'd got them would have actually seen us win (but that's the game, isn't it?). We were missing two of our major running players, which didn't help at all. Thought Rowston was pretty good early, but seemed to lose influence as the game went on.

Disappointing.

I thought Kingsley was going to change all that?
