Autopsy Flogged by way more composed swans, back to the bad old days.

I get the point. But if as a player you're part of an X or Y like Fox and Cunningham, that doesn't qualify you for a best 22 listing

 

[Only Forwards]

I honestly don’t see us winning another game again this year

We will.

Sydney took that as an opportunity to reset themselves after their false start to the year.

We’ll need to regroup, probably after gather round.

We have been fooled into believing that this team is getting better. The lack of run and defensive pressure was atrocious. I'm convinced now that there are more than several players who are not up to the intensity required of consistently good AFL standards. We are delusional if we believe the likes of Zurhar, Scott, McDonald, Corr, Logue, Simpkin are going to lift us up the ladder.

I honestly don’t see us winning another game again this year

And to top that off we gave up our first selection in this year’s draft

Those umpires should deadset be ashamed when they watch the replay.

Ashamed?

They will be gobbing each other.

Clarko - “we competed well enough”…”we are on the right path”….”we’ve made some progress as a footy club”….

**** me. This bloke has lost the fire.

They stayed in a huddle for quite some time after the match.

Unfortunately it's because they think there's a fifth quarter

And would still lose by 30 odd if they played the fifth quarter by themselves.
Swans would also somehow get another 7 frees in that time too.

 

[Flawed Genius]

This presser is going to hit like pure crack

 

[Marstermind]

Given the supposed upward trajectory for this team that was our most disappointing loss in years.

WTF is going on at our beloved club?

About to say the same thing. That was atrocious from go to whoa. Never once had a period of play that was AFL standard. We've had bigger margins, but hope was high and patience is thin. The realisation that our team is still capable of being so insipid after all this time is shattering.

For me personally, as bad as we’ve been over the last few years and the beltings we’ve coped, this is arguably our worst loss because I started to trust the team.

IMO that was the worst loss under Clarko

Tonight, we still lose.

The streak of years since we last beat Sydney in Melbourne extends to 19.

Good times.

I'm open to all possibilities......

We must do something, the club needs massive change

 

[Flawed Genius]

I strongly disagree that it was polish with the footy that was the issue and think it was probably all the self polishing we did during the week.

**** me. This bloke has lost the fire.

Might be a controversial opinion but the only comment I disagree with there is the first one. We were shit tonight.

I think we're on the right path, and I think we've clearly made progress this year - but maybe the jury is out on that after tonight because it is early days.

Whether we bounce back next week against a quality side or capitulate will tell us everything.

Can he stop making it acceptable and ok all the ****ing time!?

Stop spewing bullshit and can he set a standard for once?!

So tired of his bloody nice messaging. It’s not working mate. It was not good enough and that’s not what we expect out of the boys?

Lay some ground rules Clarko

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

There’s more kids than ever?

We were a very experienced team today. Older than the swans and more games played. This was a bad a loss as any in the last 5 years

I have been following this club since the 50's, member, shareholder, paving stone purchaser in the past but I sensed during that after a particular game last year that I was done with this rabble that is supposed to be representing this club. I now see a club that is bereft anything that resembles even the basics of a football club trying to get us out of the dire position that the club faces at the moment. Can any of our supporters describe the style of play that this side is using? We are currently being pummeled by a side missing 2 of its players in Papley and Gulden.
This club has the feelgood story of female President and CEO, feegood story , at the time of getting Clarkson and Viney in the revolutionize and educate a group of talented youngsters recently drafted. We, the long suffering supporters have been sold a lemon. We have no game style, cannot withstand pressure when applied and except for a 15 minute patch against Melbourne have shown 4/5ths of bugger all. All of these feelgood community projects that the club embarks on are fine but maybe it's time that we concentrate on bloody winning football games and stop all of the woke,feelgood crap.
This is the first time in over 30 years that I have not renewed my membership and it's sad it has come to this stage. The club has too many vanilla type players who are clogging our list and taking games from others who ceiling is much higher than those playing.
At the end of this season there must be a cleanout in the club, not only of underperforming players, line coaches , senior coach, selectors and anyone else is keeping the club in the doldrums.
I have been watching the way Hawthorn has adapted its style of play in 4 different sets of circumstances to overcome the opposition tactics, they seem to have plans A,B,C D,E and F, involving different players, different positioning and different speeds of play and it is great to watch. Hawthorn had drafted extremely well to get players to fill roles where they were previously deficient. North has primarily drafted the highest ranked midfielder available and this year topped up with 3 experienced players who are in the Twighlight of their careers. This week we dropped FOS but played, RHJ and Stephens, to a lesser extent, tucker, scott and zurharr. Gifting games to underperforming players is a blight on the coaching of this club.
It is high time that heads role, doesn't matter how high, we have a game upcoming for Good Friday, a fixture that the club strove for for many years but unless we show a much better performance this year, maybe it should be given to a more deserving club.
My last criticism is of the powers that be at the club selling our home games to WA, stop selling your soul for a dollar. Time to support the dwindling numbers of your Victorian supporters first.

Agee with it all except FOS was sick ( not dropped)

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Kingy on Fox brutally honest after the Clarko presser -

“It’s all just words at this stage, I hear it but I don’t believe it”

Completely agree with him. DEMORALISING loss this one.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Stephens was one of our best. Stephens was one of our best.
