No Oppo Supporters The Melt Thread

For 20 years I have been parking my car in the same spot on game day, no problems. Today my daughter used my car to go and watch gws beat the mob down the road and the car is broken into! Took all her makeup,her hair straightener and her maccas uniform. Not sure what this means but god I hate them!

Sorry to hear mate. Hope you got insurance.

Meth head blight on society.

anyone have a feeling of dread we are going to get worse before we get better. A few key retirements coming up again and a few current best 22 getting the flick soon. maybe it is going to be a proper 4 year rebuild.

perhaps, but if you start cutting the deadwood around the edges we can transition easier.

It's why Ibbotson would not play another game while any one of Logue, Ryan and Nyhuis was fit if it was me.
Logue is the legitimate replacement for Johnson
Sandi goes down Darcy must play. Griffin is cooked anyway.
And Dan Pearce has already been superceded.


If we're going to get touch ups, this is the year

Edit: I'd add that Brennan Cox seems the logical replacement for Spurr too. Strong and a good mark

 

[Hazelsnuts]

Good summation Lach, Spurr although he has heart is slow with the ball and his kick is not nearly effective when kicking long and always to a contest.
His kicks fall short and make our players leading up to Half back/ wing look out of position.
Ibbotson worse ....... truck me, he is poo, a couple of times absolutely lacking urgency or effort ...... passenger!

 

[Purpletown]

The thing that I can't understand with Freo being a relatively poor side skills wise is why they insist on kicking backwards in the back line. At one stage the ball was kicked out to Ibbo who was about 35 meters out of goal and he didn't even look up field to see if there was any decent options but kicked it back 20 metres, after a few panic hand passes and fumbles Adelaide bang through another goal.

Ibbo can be a dumb footballer and he does this type of shite most games but he and other players have done this type of thing in most games this year. Surely we could be a goal or two better off most weeks if the coaches eliminated this Russian Roulette type of play so close to the goal we are defending, if our skills are as rubbish as they seem to be at times we would be better off kicking down the line to a contest rather than starting a clanger fest inside the opposition forward 50.

This is a coaching issue (tactics) as players are told how to play rather than just go out there and play their way while the skills to kick, hand pass etc (skills) are what the players are responsible for. Players and coaches need to sort this rubbish out so players who can't kick too good are at least kicking to an area that is less dangerous if and when we turn the ball over.

I ask this question of myself many times, in each time Tabs is playing.

Does this guy actually know how to 1. Mark a Ball 2. Kick a Ball 3. Have any game sense 4. Know where his body is

 

[Admiral Byng]

puss and shit in a purple bucket... etc

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Anyone who thinks we are actually halfway decent should be forced to watch that game on repeat ala clockwork orange. Utterly putrid.

How we can be so totally shitful at moving the ball out of defence is incredible, week in week out.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

That handball by Tabs legit almost made it to the top deck.

Definition of a hospital handpass. Poor Brady.

Ross Lyon.

The game plan is a mess and doesn't have a balance. Our forward and defensive structures are non existant and add the fact our fitness team is the worst n the competition.

 

[believe_it]

I was hoping the Adelaide game was a one-off blip. Our game plan is based on pigs in a sty rolling around after an apple.

 

[FreoRicci]

Sick of momentum changers. Maybe epic miss right in front PF 2015.

Brad Hill runs all the way into the forward line, and decides to dribble it on the outside of his foot. Really?! Just run in and kick it straight through. Killed the momentum and would've got us in front for the first time. UGH

I don't necessarily agree with him as the problem, although I do think we need to change a fair bit with respect to what we're actually trying to do when we move it out, and forward structure. Fitness team is just plain wrong given that we've run over a couple of teams in the last month.

It's really easy to just keep bleating 'Ross Lyon' and while ultimately he's responsible I don't really think it's Ross who is *the* problem. There are quarters this year where we have really nailed it. Why doesn't that show through more often I don't know.

 

[The Joker]

**** i hate loving this team!!!

 

[sportsmaniac89]

That was weak as ****ing piss.

Our supporters have more hearts than quite a few of those players that took the field today.

Collingwood were 2 down on the bench and 1 down on the field and still overran us.

What a weak as ****ing piss effort and to make matters worse, I need to be on my game at placement tomorrow so I can't even drink the sorrows of that shithouse effort away.

**** this day.

 

[Reynolds Number]

Thank **** for the job I currently have.

Fitness has been a problem for years.

We start off the first half of the year fine and fall apart towards the end of season. We might have elite facilities now but our fitness/medical personnel is not up to scratch. Another possible explanation is the taxing game plan Ross still uses in which the midfielders/forwards are required to back track far too often.

 

[Unique Name]

Did we rush Stephen Hill back. Shadow of the player he was in the earlier rounds.

 

[Reynolds Number]

I feel like an army sargeant about to go off at anyone in the house who talks about the game.

 

[largebus]

My hope in Taberner and Kersten diminishes by the hour

 

[StingBitten]

Ross Lyon coached teams make the most of the available players.

Ross Lyon coached teams sometimes make decent trades.

Ross Lyon coached teams draft poorly.

Ross Lyon coached teams sometimes have an ineffective game plan.

More often than not, Ross Lyon coached teams fall short.

 

[Allikat]

He hurt his knee at the start of the game, so unfortunately I think it's a new injury. Hopefully just a cork or something considering he played out the game.

No, just no. Did you see all of the so called supporters filing out of the ground with 6 minutes still to go? The Pies supporters loved it and rightfully so. That was WCish. Those that left should have a good hard look at themselves or f*** right off and support WC.
