Autopsy That Game vs St Kilda That Never Happened

[largebus]

-25 in clearances. That was a 100 point loss against a decent forward line.

Positives:
Pearce was decent and kept it (reasonably) respectable.

Negatives:
Everyone else, too many to name, but Darcy is just one example for his horrible ruck work and not adjusting to the Saints sharking his taps.

Hopefully the Vic media starts turning the heat up on the coach, especially with Garlick coming out going full Koch vis-à-vis Hinkley and saying he's here next year. I'd love to be proven wrong but he just doesn't have what it takes.
We'll probably pull a Dockery win vs Collingwood out of our arse and then not turn up the following week because we're just a middle of the road team (at best).

Thank **** Liverpool won the PL.

Also do the rossmaths and double the score for the true margin: that was the equivalent of a 20 goal loss

 

[jmtheo]

Give me your hypothetical thoughts on a hypothetical game vs a hypothetical St Kilda.

I’ll go first. Moose tried his guts out, but the purple bus had too many passengers and well… we got Rossed & shat ourselves.

What the f*** was that s***?!

Collingwood will feast on the goo next week.

was with the club? 2022 was all him, he propped up JL and we all seemed to think JL was a tactical genius when it wasn't him at all. We've also lost other good assistants who made him look better.

I was literally told by JL's personal assistant (who recently resigned) that JL is the dumbest coach she's worked alongside. He doesn't have a Plan B or change things up because he has NFI. All the players love him because he's a 'relationships coach'. I don't give a **** anymore in hiding that knowledge because this spanner absolutely has to go. Nice bloke but is not coach material whatsoever.

6-years of this? With a promising strong list? Against a subpar Saints side with a coach we sacked 6 years ago for this bloke? It's like getting your pants pulled down by a bully in front of the girl you like at highschool.

Ffs Lyon was gone for far less than this.

Get him gone immediately.

We are a joke of an organisation and don't deserve prime time ever again.
I'm disgusted, beyond disappointed, and completely disillusioned about what we stand for. What a massive kick in the dick.

 

[daiks]

Still a complete meme of a club. VIC commentators just laughing at us the whole game. No pride no fight. Pathetic.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

The only thing the club has done consistently in 31 years is disappoint me

My daughter was an inaugural member of this footy club at 2 days old and before her birth had even been registered. She now lives in Melbourne and goes to every game.

I texted her at half time, apologised for inflicting a lifetime of emotional abuse on her, and encouraged her to leave and go and get drunk.

She stayed. Poor love.

The absolute pits as a footy fan is watching your loser club get flogged by another loser club

Welcome to football hell

a place we visit regularly

 

[Dockeroo]

I think JL is clearly not going anywhere with this group.

However I fear the problems run much deeper.
There are very few leaders out there.
Very few men with the hardness and brutality required to play serious AFL footy week in week out.
So brittle and weak mentally.

This is not a premiership list - in fact it’s not even close.

First time I’ve seriously thought there will be no premiership window with this group.

 

[pavstar]

There is absolutely no chance JL is shown the door realistically until the end of the season…

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Ross is a bad bad man. Hard to put into words my feelings Freo right now, apathy I suppose?

There was a few posts during the week saying they'll be pissed if they drop this danger game and I just kind of read them thinking, honestly, dropping it doesnt worry me because all it does is reaffirm everything we know. Like, being scared of dropping it implies you think we can do something this year and I'm just not there anymore, clearly JL can not get this team at the required level. Only thing that will impress me with the club from here on out regardless of results will be moving JL on this week.

Don't take anything from St Kilda, they were ****ing unreal, even better than I thought they'd be. That was like THAT prelim against Sydney all those years ago.

Win some, lose some....

I actually think these lax games are a direct reflection of JLo’s personality and coaching style.
His relaxed and often soppish demeanour is rubbing off on the players.
I acknowledge that the leadership group has a lot of influence on the field, I still feel like the players dont always give that extra 2/3 percent that’s needed at this level because JLo truly doesn’t demand it, and the players subliminally know this.
Add that to poor game day coaching / messaging and wullah, this is the result.

 

[Purpletown]

The purple heart breakers strike again. So predictable. Missing in action awards to Freddy and Switta. Laziest person wearing a Dockers uniform goes to Cox, can this bloke even run?

I hope we get murdered.

We're not worthy of a meme to them. We're an inconvenient reminder that we actually exist, and that we are about to **** up their Friday night and they're going to regret not hitting up the cool Melbourne nightlife

Kane Cornes…… hello?

I hope you're being sarcastic... That's tragic if we wait until the end of the season?

We were tipped to win the flag by some outsiders and we put that performance up?

 

[go_the_dockers]

This is the worse game we have ever played. Worse than Melbourne, worse than kicking 1 goal 7 behind vs the crows.

Absolutely shocking.

 

[sdfc]

Horrific but strangely familiar.

I get it but this group has only known JL, it needs to be seen under someone else first
