Idk, what does it tell you?

Didn't Hind do similar a week or two ago?


Truck might not have all player's on board.

 

[foj1]

Why did bryan not go for the ball?

 

[citizen-erased]

Hind forward i don't mind.
D'Ambrosio, McGrath and Redman give us good run off HB.

 

[citizen-erased]

Bryan, not ready.
both physically and game awareness wise.

Shiel is 110% taking the piss. Zoning grass. Pointing others to pick up a man.
******* pathetic.

 

[Yoda_]

Convinced this club ain’t going anywhere anytime soon

Disappointed is an understatement

Martin always 3 on 1. Symbolic of his workrate vs. teammates. and when he loses it, it's not like we have contests outnumbered.

 

[essendon]

The football gods have Essington'd us..

i have to half disagree.
The tactic of pushing the likes of Lav, Kelly and even Zerk up exposes this side. It might work with a different midfield, but it doesnt work with this one.

Truck and co. might have the defensive game plan but it's certainly not doing much for us.

They are not supposed to push up. That is not the plan . It is a symptom of no confidence footy you see in all poor sides.
It is not the plan. For some reasons side’s playing badly lose the structure and get sucked too far up the ground.

 

[Call Me Cake]

It's not even a loss that gets me, it's the fact that we're so easy to play against and it's the same deficiencies on a broken record. The same areas of our ground being stifled. It's just all pathetic. If there were signs to look to, you can excuse a loss. But this is devoid of any substance.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Play our best team they said. History tells us that maybe it isn't.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

This does not spark joy.

If points were given for pointing we would win everything.

 

[jmoo wan]

why would you bother - 4:40 on a Sunday, everyone's got other s**t to do

Draper getting an absolute bath from ****ing Finlayson...

He’s actually been pretty good in the ruck for port the last couple months

I love when there''s a bout 13 left in the crowd and you can hear what they really think.

No cover up audio of fake 'ball' calls can cover up what the paying public see

it feels like the plan. You see him quite regularly up forward of centre circle.
As if to press for a turnover. which i think is also why we're so crowded when we go forward and so open when sides rebound.

its hard to say if we're getting led up the ground, but if we are then Truck and the coaches have had 21 games to ram a simple message home to not leave the 50 so open.

 

[Hamez]

Draper and Bryan getting dominated by two forwards playing as rucks.

Our best footy this season was with Phillips in the team which is worrying.

"training drill"
i hope that resonates.

 

[Andronicus]

Phew.

I hate getting within 10 goals of teams.

You are such an apologist it's unbelievable. Mate I get that it's easier to not face the music in times of hurt but wavers such as your take is exactly the reason we've been so nonchalant for 20 years.

Pretty sure I heard ‘training drill’ in the effect mics
