Has to get over the yips soon. Better ball use going forward will obviously help but he’s missed some gettable ones that he normally converts in previous seasons. Still playing a pivotal role despite the dip in accuracy

 

[Bender_]

Unsure if it's the yips or if he's still carrying a leg complaint from preseason.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Waterman's probably our hardest working player. The goal kicking is frustrating as hell given the amount of work he puts in each week.

Good old media

 

[Matera92]

Waterman keeps leading to pockets, a large number of his shots are low percentage.

Has anyone read today’s Guardian article which refers to us as a rabble in comparison to the Dockers.

As the Dockers have shown, sometimes it takes a slow burn to climb back to the top

Cheers The Guardian.

I mean, how much slower can this slow burn smoulder?

Luckily we'll win the premiership when everyone has played 50-100 games.

Yeah it's pretty shit. They were talking about how deals like the Baker one looked good on paper and that was when I realised the author was clueless.

31 years and the Dockers still haven't climbed to the top....that's as slow as they come

When we were their age we had just won our 4th flag. Remind me again who's a woeful rabble?

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

The team whose last 100 games are worse than Fitzroy and University's last 100 games and who has had more 100 point losses than the rest of the competition combined in the last 5 (?) years

I think it's called a rut? Yeo knows?

sounds like consistency

I would have never even considered getting sports news from the Guardian.

You learn something new

Yes sorry this reel is from FB hur hur boomer alert stitch incoming etc. But surely Waterman's frustration shows he's still passionate and competitive, rather than just shrugging his shoulders and being okay with it.

Lloyd no one respects what you say, you spent the last 3 years of your career taking a dive when you couldn't mark it. Shut up, c*nt.

It was at Hough for not moving it on quicker

Gotta be careful doing those dramatic actions with his shoulders

Definitely the yips. Some of the goals he is missing are with 20m. Put him outside the arc and he isnt missing much so obviously not an injury causing the inaccuracy.

Replay of the 1992 Grand Final on Fox Footy.
Brings a tear to the eye seeing Matera and hearing Cometti

 

[Boohemian]

Ok. Which one of you guys is Donnie from Spearwood who always calls into ABC every week?
