AFL Toast RND 11: Dreamtime Win Against the Tiggers

[The Airing of Grievances]

We should’ve easily kicked over 100 points tonight. Just silly mistakes and dumb skill errors.

Not to be a dick, but isn't that another way of saying,' if we weren't so bad at doing footy stuff we'd be a good football team'

 

[Happyskeret]

We probably would have been with Draper, Bryan, Ridley, Jones and Parish.

I know I am totally biased but in losing Drapes we have lost our X factor.

Is it just me or has there been a high focus this year other than others to keep teams to the lowest score possible to the detriment of any feasible plan of forward thinking?

 

[KeenObserver24]

I know I am totally biased but in losing Drapes we have lost our X factor.

Definitely, and losing Ridley we’ve lost our shape, and losing Jones we’ve lost the lead up target on the wing which is dragging Wright and Caddy up the ground and we are losing out forward structure.

 

[Lore]

I don’t mind the club winning so long as Melbourne gets us a handy pick at the top of the draft order. Good for morale.

If the coach, fitness staff and list manager started making decisions on the basis of losing a final at any cost and trading all our picks away I would have feelings about that though.

Are you saying as in we play finals, lose and then feel were closer than we actually are at the end of this year and trade away picks for certain players that might be older than day 26?

I’m too a Jones fan. Wow you are a keen observer!

 

[Megabattimus]

Such a cop out. Yes rebuilding sides can occasionally kick over 100 points, especially with the talent we have. This isn’t some wooden spoon level team.

We already kicked 100 points against Adelaide. The closest we've come since then is 96 points against Melbourne in our comfiest win of the season.

We are a wooden spoon calibre team. The problem is, so is everyone below us so far.

Thanks to bloody St Kilda we've only beaten 5 of the bottom 6 now, but at least we've beaten 6 of the bottom 7.

 

[Keystone agony]

Zac showed what he can do at half back in the 2nd half

Might be something we need to turn to having lost guys st each end of the ground but having mids available

 

[Happyskeret]

Thanks to bloody St Kilda we've only beaten 5 of the bottom 6 now, but at least we've beaten 6 of the bottom 7.

Which by the way won’t benefit us. You can argue it’s good for morale but that’s a pretty small victory.

 

[srobbo]

Marto elite. Brought his own footy, played like it was a dry night. Was daylight BOG!

Great debut Gus. Sleep well young fella!

The rest what an absolute shitshow! How we took 3.5qtrs to put away a Richmond VFL side is an indictment on us a club & how bad we’re going.

Brace for a month of pain people cause it’s gonna be ugly.

 

[windyhill]

I enjoy beating them and have put a nice little streak together. They owned us for years and enjoyed rubbing it in so **** them.

 

[theboxmike]

I want to say lower our eyes and kick to a target, but even when we do that we somehow **** it up. Either the forward sucks at marking, a bad lead or an absolute shank.


But If somebody leads into space we should honour the kick. We can’t just keep relaying on 2MP to mark in a pack.

Still we won.

 

[Happyskeret]

I’m not happy but I am cos my name is happy. I don’t give a shit about skills I want players who just want to win. When I seen seen Bailey Smith

go to the cats I was totally jealous. Not for his skills but for his competitive drive.

 

[Yoda_]

We play such a boring style of football. No system to our forward ball movement. At least Clarke was exciting.

at one stage we took an intercept mark on the back flank, jest behind centre wing.

Looked and kicked backward.

took said kick as mark and instantly looked to and did kick backwards


thats out game plan

Tonight was a real easy game. Any side outside west coast and north beat the side Richmond wheeled out by 90+
You put lynch nank and balta in and we lose by 5-6 goals

you put Balta, Lynch and Tank in and we happily put in Parish, Draper, fit Langford and im sure it evens out

 

[Happyskeret]

I don't think anyone doubts what he does, it's that nobody trusts his body holding up.

It’s more than that and you know it. He is a limited player but that doesn’t mean he is a bad player! The other thing is that he is the shoe that fits not the flashy shoe that you want.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Terrible game. Never seen 76K people so quiet

Worst atmosphere I've ever experienced at a big Bombers game, which feels weird to say.

Give us Bryan and Ridley too while we're at it. Hell, even Hayes over Laverde.

Well at least, I'm feeling a little better after someone hit my car today and didn't leave a note.

McGrath hit it with a footy. He was aiming for the one next to yours...

We aren’t going to play finals, we are going to fall away soon. We have far too many long term injuries and no depth. We are already seeing our young guys tiring. I’m predicting a bottom 5 ladder position, but enjoying every win we have.

I used to make fun of north fans acting like they have won a flag after every win, but it’s maybe better than complaining after every win like we do. Let’s all enjoy them while we can.

The use of the term “game plan” is completely misunderstood, and is being used as ammo against Scott.
