Game Day Match Discussion - RD 22 vs. Hawthorn. Thur 07/08 @ 7:30pm (MCG)

[TradeDraft]

We are Officially the Joke of the AFL

 

[Jafo]

Don't like this guys.
Turning on the coach and lampooning him is the sign that everything is disintegrating.
He has had 4 years with us and won a flag in his second year.
Think we need to remember our own accolades and exultation 2 years ago and temper our criticism.

As bad as it’s currently looking right now I’d still rather be us with a recent flag in hand and somewhat in contention (even if it falls away from here). Rather than be Essendon, Blues, Nth, Saints.

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

Maybe you blokes are travel-fatigued?

First I laughed and now I’m telling you **** off.

 

[The Plowking]

Should gone to Storm Game

Better then watching Collingwood play

Atm, yep

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Oh well still premiers in 23

 

[Magpie_man]

While I don’t blame him personally, I definitely think not playing a fully fit Bobby Hill against Freo and Gold Coast cost us one if both both of those games, particularly as our other speedster McCreery was also not available.

And has probably derailed our season along the way.

I don’t blame Bobby. I blame our lack of depth. Teams get injuries throughout the year. It’s unfortunate sure, but you need to recruit to at least have a stop gap for when players of his ilk are out for whatever reason…We are a tackling high pressure team, why don’t we have many players like him to replace him? Sullivan was a stop gap, but just bad timing to have Mcreery out at the same time…

Should be a fun presser, might go something like this:

1. Still exploring the best version of ourselves
2. We'll see what that looks like
3. We have some work to do
4. Still trying to find our best
5. Darcy was huge for us tonight
6. We'll put our arms around them and tell them its ok to get smacked by 12 goals
7. Maybe I shouldn't have f****d around with the team when we were winning
8. We'll send Jordy to Bali to freshen up
9. Hill is fine, just a sore tummy, next man up as you can see.
10.Beau just had some hamstring awareness but we played him early and now he is fully aware.
11. Still sharpening the knives
12. Still exploring options in that space
13. Yep.....we're cooked and I f****d up.

You left out the key phrase We got some feedback

This season is effectively over. We need to accelerate list turnover coz we’re currently on track to bottom out when Tassie comes in and gets all the draft picks. The pre-season critics were right - we ARE too old and too slow.

Delist Mitchell. No more centre square for Pendles. Trade Cameron and Hill to WCE for Reid and picks.

 

[MightyBloods]

Maynard limping into the rooms, a groin injury.

 

[jathanas]

Solid first post. Getting on the Internet after your single mum (and cousin) has headed off to work?

EFA

 

[Sea fog]

We are a shadow of ourselves atm, I wonder what changed

It was hard to be confident after watching the Hawks play last week, they played pretty well, we didn't and they had an extra day to recover.

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

We are Officially the Joke of the AFL

The only time we haven’t been is when we’ve won premierships.

 

[Magpie_man]

No tackles recorded for the following players:
Elliot, Pendles, Sidey, Houston, WHE

 

[60 Yards Out]

We are Officially the Joke of the AFL

Ah, no. We’re playing finals, for a start. Most of the comp would love to be us.

 

[Sea fog]

When Darcy defended brilliantly 2 minutes into the game by tapping the ball directly to Watson for the opening goal I can safely say that I didn't think we were going to win this game. Surprising how it turned out!

Moore was appalling tonight but not the lone ranger.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Maynard limping into the rooms, a groin injury.

Be cherry ripe in a fortnight with Howe after concussion.
Last chance saloon for 2025…

 

[DinoSoar]

Take your knives here

Autopsy - Round 22 = Hawthorn 110-46 Collingwood

Total horror show. We’ve lost our identity of what made us great. Losing Howe in the first minute set the tone for the rest of the match. Instead of it galvanising us, it broke us. It looks like we’re physically and mentally cooked. Such a shame the season is going down the drain fast after so...
