Why I stopped investing too much into this club a few years ago. Been something seriously wrong since 2000. I couldn't care less. I wish I did care but my sanity is more important.

How good was that moment when Haynes dropped the mark, and then neither he nor McGovern could perform the basic football act of getting the loose ball over the boundary line that was half a foot away.

I see you watching me watching you
I’d rather 3putt every hole than have to watch shit like that again.
All I did tonight was laugh, saves me getting angry, shouting at the tv and looking like a dick in front of my son.

Everything you said was right, but this is exactly it. “Disgusting” was the word I came up with too.
Inexcusably, irredeemably bad.
Two guys who can catch the ball, and instead of having them in dangerous places and try to create space, we camp short numpties like Fogarty and co right where they need to lead.
WE flood our own forward line. WE clog up all the space, with our guys, and their opponents, and slow ball movement. THEN we drop it on the head of …… Zac Williams or Jesse Motlop, who are utterly inept overhead.
It’s not just that it’s bad. It’s been bad for ages. It’s got worse. And we’re paying professional coaches and they persist with it.
Harry is in no rush to win flags and luckily for him, he's very much at the right club! Just keep getting that pay cheque H.
It’s been a “country club” environment for years.
Pampered in luxurious facilities and wanting for nothing.
Everyone, onfield and off, are very well paid with little to no expectation or accountability to perform like winners week in week out.
About the only thing served up consistently is the social media team’s “wholesome” waffle that they’ll no doubt double down on again this week following tonight’s cowardly performance …

Just on this one, this happened because these players switch without actually being set for it. They switch for the sake of switching to avoid a long bomb up the line. Once we were committed to the switch, first gamer Lucas panicked and kicked to the only player available to him on that side - Motlop, covered by two Tigers who read what we were doing straight away and covered it.
Absolute disconnect out there with this group.
Yep, I do realise a debut is one game

I see you watching me watching you
Was right in front of me…the whole crowd were in stitches.
I know its the 1st game of the season but we are slow......no mongrel in this team just good blokes and im over it, instead of bullying them they bullied us....putting it on our captain....and we did nothing!!!
Same shit game plan again, spray and pray if someone can mark or is next to where the balls lands and try collect it and do it again for the next play.....we just panick with ball in hand and never lower our eyes........ we need to scrunch all coaching staff throw them in the bin and start again....who in there right mind would use a brownlow medallist and our best player in the ruck? Who subs Lord instead of a small forward that practically have done nothing whole game?
The Small forwards, Evans ball watching was just happy to be there, Motlop pfffttt ain't even gonna start....and we got rid of Owies!!! We just looked shit all over only Weiters did well in the back and a few of the mids.....where was Cripps loosing his shit at the team as the captain when they where making the comeback? As supporters we want to see that shit
Over the good blokes Mantra we ain't going to even make finals this year with that shit attitude we have no killer instinct..... thought a few of the jounalists where tripping when i read the articles and thought it was just deep hate for us, that we wont be making the eight but they are on the money with the crap we served! We actually got beaten and bullied by a team of kids!!! Hawthorn will violate us next week.....pressure is on for Voss 1 week into 2025 season....totally pants in the coaching department and totally embarrassing....

I think they are scared of winning not failing. They seem to fail more than they win.
And then one fell over the other, taking both out the contest- it was great stuff.

I thought Ollie was good. You could see him running flat out to create options for teammates. It was noticeable because literally every other players was standing still watching him run thinking - what's he doing that for? Doesn't he know the gameplan is to kick this ball long up the line directly to Richmond's tall defender?
My God what a lazy / zero intensity performance from our players.
SOS was exceptional in amongst that debacle. If he'd played forward the whole second half he could have actually impacted the result.
Cripps was good to a point. Just couldn't quite get free enough to really do damage in the second half. A lot of short handballing.
I thought TDK was good - again to a point. How many times is he going to kick the ball 60m high and 45m long into our forward line? His decision making was terrible. 28 pos at 60% efficiency really hurts.
Weits was good.
The bad:
Haynes... oh my god. There are no words to adequately describe that performance. We gave up so many players for nothing in the offseason to free up a list spot for this guy. He fumbled simple marks while falling over usually taking out his own teammate. If he did get a kick he missed the target. He did this all the way through preseason yet we still picked him. Voss deserves very strong criticism for this one.
Hewett / Cerra / Walsh go selfish / lazy in the second half. Just weren't anywhere near the intensity level required to play a game of AFL footy. They all need a massive rocket. Cooper Lord went missing entirely after half time.
This is the sort of performance that gets the sack the coach bandwagon moving.

Wish people would stop saying Match Day. He's just a poor coach full stop. He doesn't train fundamentals. Says there's not enough time. Then we see no skill in game and wonder why. Like hitting targets is just supposed to happen? We see Harry still unable to kick - fix it.
Get the ****ing fundamentals right. I screamed it all last season. Shocking shocking shocking coach.
That’s me done.
20 long years of mediocrity, supporters putting their money into the club and showing up. This is what we dish up.
See ya. Will be back when they finally hold up their end of the bargain.
****ing disgraceful.

Just got back home from what was the worst loss I've ever experienced. Haven't had a look through the thread so far, but I want to know what our disposal efficiency was for the 2nd half. I've never seen disposal that bad ever.
The lack of clean hands in defence was unbearable. The frustration is raging at the moment and the decision making was deplorable. If you lose, show something that you didn't just hand over victory. But we gave it to them and that is what is so filthy.
Lost and confused. Dumbfounded and mystified. Where are we other than without identity and purpose?

Wasn't it Williams and Kemp that did something similar v Adelaide last year?

Only question I have is if harry is ruck fwd why didn't we play Moir to at least have another marking target.. Playing Evan's was strange call
Finding two way AFL mids who have the desire/speed/ability to gut run forward and back between the arcs is bloody difficult. You won the contested and uncontested possessions easily. But you could see late in the game the lack of speed and intent to sprint back and go with Richmond's younger players after a turnover. Has been the same at West Coast for 3 years now, mediocre athletes getting games. I'm not sure what options you've got on the list to cover that. And in fairness to Voss, he doesn't build the list.
Correct.
