Game Day Round 19 games day thread versus the Pufferfish

[Struggle]

Credit to Hunter for getting it but sheesh he stops, he props and invariably does a nothing kick resulting in a turnover. Just kills our momentum. Not the worst of our problems but for a link player his creativity and use is hideous.

I'd like to play him as a small forward next year. Just have a crack at goals, prevent him stopping so many scoring chains before they start

 

[Chicago1]

The end is nigh. TG

 

[dogwatch]

30 points to nil that quarter.

 

[NBates]

Thank goodness for that.

THE END

 

[BallaratBulldog]

4.6 to nothing for the quarter

 

[Struggle]

I don’t think Adams is as good as we first thought.

Like any defender, pressure up the ground makes or breaks them and unfortunately our mids and forwards provide none of that

 

[Lex22]

We’ve let them play champ. Wake up. Any decent top 8 side would’ve won by 80+ today. We are deplorable

Yes we’re very bad, I know that but no side is beating anybody by 80 points in them conditions. Jog on.

 

[The_torpedo]

Why do we fall apart every single ****ing time in the 2nd half

 

[DognBones]

That's a 10 + goal loss in the conditions.

A whole bunch of players that arent ready for a full game of AFL.

 

[Braybrook Son]

Is anyone bothering to start the autopsy thread? Or is everyone just that deflated? I know I am

 

[King Harold]

He's not the worst out there, he's had twice as many kicks as JJ and at least he'll chase an opposition player unlike JJ who just stops and watches after they run past him.

Ok let's make it 2nd worst .
Broken record , but for 3 f - years now - only a grade footballer.
Whoever gave him another contract needs to be put in stocks in Nicholson street so we can all vent .
Just a bullsit decision , almost feel sorry for the kid.

I’ve become really ambivalent towards our losses this year. It’s much better than the dark cloud that used to envelope me!

Haha Adams out marked by Wingard. Worst game of his career today.

Good on Hunter, has kept going. Runs himself into trouble constantly and can’t kick to save himself, but he tries hard.

He doesn’t chase

Mainly cause he has no one to kick to !
How many times did he have to stop back track and then handball ?
We press too far up the ground. Been a problem for a long time now.
Must be frustrating for the players with this structure.

Actually on JJ can we please remember next time to give directions to the ground. Obviously got lost on way there. l found the ground ok.

No one to kick the f--- ball to BR .

Dixon kind of looks like a serial killer I was watching on YouTube last night.

On the bright side, when we are up and running again (whenever that may be) he'll look like a Norm Smith medallist again with players feeding it to him in space under the roof or at the G. And I've no doubt he'll be damaging.

It's just that he's not the sort of player you'd pick to have beside you in the trenches when you're struggling. I'd be looking for the likes of Naughton, Crozier, Dunkley etc. Hard yakka with lots of ticker.

 

[dergert]

I hope that loss stings our players and club administrators as it has me.
Supposed home ground yet were bullied by the oppo team with even their fans joining in and mocking our club.

I hope I'm just overreacting.

Wrong bloke DW ,talking Honeychurch.
Good sides will always have JJ types , as you say u need them .

 

[flamethrower]

JJ is on 800k a year for that absolute dog sh**.

Embarrassing times. I absolutely hate that the port crowd are celebrating. I hope its hurting our side more than it is me.

And people say Tommy Boyd is overpaid - at least he plays his heart out when he can get on the park.

Ah OK. My bad. We agree on JJ though.
