I didn't have him in my outs. I had him on notice.
What has the list achieved to warrant job security anyway? Outside of X, Curtis, Parker and maybe George - no ones a walk up start.

Players keep making bad judgements and we keep losing games. Simple as that.

The key is to ****ing learn from these errors and not excuse them.

I got sick and tired of watching Aidan Corr for years give bum taps and high 5's after the 20th opposition goal was slammed through and in the end what was the result? He got dropped. Heres hoping McDonald can **** off for good now.

Either we start enforcing standards or we head into 2026 after another bottom 2 finish. This shit needs to stop.

Could not have said it better.

If we're gonna be serious as a footy team, cut out the bizarre turnovers and skill errors. That stuff is ok when you're 10 games in, but **** me when we're 50+ games in (and 200+ for blokes that should know better), what the actual **** is the point of rocking up to play Brisbane this week?

We're so much more capable than we freaking realise. So much more. If we were good enough to beat Melbourne by 10 goals (as much as they were crap), what stopped us from doing a number on the Bombers? Oh, that's right. It's all mental.

Mentally, this group needs a dramatic shift and need to be switched on from the bounce. Not quarter time or halfway through the first. We are throwing away winnable games and we haven't played the best teams yet.

 

[danj]

This is my ins and outs this week.

Out: The soft R &B crap they play in the background in the rooms as the player mill and run out for the game

In: Hells Bells - AC/DC

I like where going with this however I prefer If You Want Blood, had the U10’s frothing at the mouth as they ran onto the pitch

If they haven't had that dramatic shift five years into this absolute peat bog of a rebuild, where does it come from? I know a great bloke who works as a therapist by (very effectively) delving into what the body's feeling but he might be a bit overwhelmed trying to manage 30-odd basket cases with losing complexes

 

[Mr north man]

He’s is genuinely the only enjoyment out of watching this dumpster fire at the moment.

LOL McDonald will not be dropped this week or next week only way he doesn’t play is if he suffers an injury.
As for this week Pink in Wardlaw Teakle in for for a resting Darling.

 

[DuckYeah]

After 5 years in the system, if I'm still launching torps inside 50 that land 5 rows back out on the full - all whilst my teammate in Parker is 15 metres in the clear all on his own - then yeh you're on notice.

But you do you.

 

[Disco Dew]

I mean, I don't think anyone's gonna be watching this, are they? Even the absolute diehards. Brisbane could play Ashcroft x2 and put a scarecrow in the ruck against our entire midfield unit and they'd still beat us in the contest. As for elsewhere on the field, it hardly bears thinking about

I’ll be watching like this.

 

[Frank Thring]

I reckon Brisbane could rest Neale, Dunkley, Cameron, Andrews, Bailey and Zorko and still get up in a canter.

 

[shinboner magic]

Out

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

Call me a silly billy, but for some reason I feel we will be in this game and it won’t be a blow out. I think Brisbane will have us at arms length all day, but I’m feeling it will be under 3 goals some time in the last quarter. They will play the game in 3rd gear.

Then our boys will be up and about, few pats on the back next week, then come out and get rolled by Richmond by 5 goals.

Did you watch the VFL? Corr was god-awful. If he gets a call-up after that game we are an unserious footy club.

 

[Frank Thring]

Watching that clip above showing our turnovers was depressing. And we only lost by 3 points. Makes me sick

he played his role well
Got beaten once

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate.

Are you so stubborn in your anti-Toby Pink crusade that you cannot acknowledge what everyone else who watched that game saw with their own two eyes?

You're gonna lose what tiny shred of credibility you may still have with this one lol.

Not enough care and attention is afforded to the basics of the sport.

Do we train with an Auskick ball?

At least all our mids got involved (actually I think Jy was the only one not shown)

Papers are stamped with pink
Won’t be on a list next year

I don’t think we are a serious football club but some selection decisions in recent weeks have us trending in that direction. A corr call up would be a step backwards

Should play this before Port games:

One of the greatest live albums of all time too.

Luckily it's still this year.

I'll do what I've been doing I'll keep an eye on the scores but I've got enough this week end to keep me annoyed. I don't need anything adding to it.

 

[King Corey]

Sunday May 1st?

Great so now we're literally not turning up for our own games.

 

[Whippet1]

Season’s gone. Time for actively planning for the future. LMac and Darling out. Wardlaw and Teakle in.
Let KDawson play LMac’s role for a few weeks.
