The Vent Thread

[POBT]

I threw a bottle of water during the bulldogs game which knocked one of the Better half's artworks off the wall.

Geez, lucky it wasn't a signed jersey or something important.

*ducks*

We still have a sinkhole in the middle of our couch courtesy of round 22, 2002.

No Banner = Win
No Banner for rest of season please!!

There were extenuating circumstances, Paul and the banner was actually at the ground (despite what Dermie said).

Nevertheless, I don't disagree with your first sentence.

Very true again shows NAB cup is no real feather in the cap and should not have saved us from a closer inspection

 

[PTizzle]

Mayes was robbed!

(I actually really like Anderson as a player though)

 

[Harris Specter]

Honestly, Polkinghorne getting dropped is a joke. After being the substitute. Even though he did a bloody good job, actually might have won us the game with his running and a nice set shot.

Not sure if...

Nah actually being serious. We could have used his experience this Sunday. I think we have gone in with the expectation that all three youngsters will perform. Still think it's quite inexperienced.

This is my biggest concern this weekend. As excited as I am to see our next generation players coming through, I am surprised that so are many are playing collectively and for that reason, just cannot see us getting close this weekend, or moreso than prior to the team being named. But, I'm happy to defer to the match committee on this one.

Someone forgot to pick Vossy's kids up from school!

J/Ks. Seriously, about time though. Think Polks was getting a bit comfortable, this might shake him up a bit.

Blacky, Stakes, Polks Karny? Taking the Broadbeach game seriously.

With the completely ungallant Lions single handedly handing a fairly poor North Melbourne team 4 points, percentage booster and probably form, I have lost complete faith in the medical and coaching staff.

How can a team be so lethargic every week and make such poor decisions so consistently? Players unable or refusing to put the body on the line.

Rich never puts his body in a position to win a ball outright, Martin can't mark for shit, nobody leads for the ball properly.

If Voss thinks what is being dished up each and every week is good enough he needs his head read. Voss your game plan is a dud and you have not been able to reach these gutless, heartless players.

Might as well go watch rugby league. At least then I can see a bunch of talentless meat-heads lose and not feel as pissed-off and ripped-off.

And they all did not live happily ever after.

The end.

 

[Madkeenlions]

You would think that by now the bomb it high into the forward line hoping that Browny can mark it would have been scrapped!! We have played this same way with limited success now for years and it just doesn't work as the big fella is always going to ground. Forward line is devoid of goalkicking options and is embarrassing to watch.

 

[Schache It Off]

We have clearly gown backwards.

We are not going anywhere at the moment, we need a clean out.

mod addendum: this post and the next few were moved from its own thread because it comes across as a vent. As Belgo mentions below, if you want to have a reasoned discussion about it (distinct from the several other similar threads on the front page of the lions forum currently) then you'll need a better opening post.

I honestly wouldn't say Voss's head on the line.. the structure coach's is.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Wow. So much to discuss from the OP. If you're going to make a large LARGE call, how bout you be prepared to back it up with something more than whats is effectively "we are losing and I don't like it".

Why have we clearly gone backwards? Why do we need a clean out? In what way?

I've been critical of Voss as a coach in the past but this just belongs in the rant thread. Poor form. Down-vote.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Vossy certainly will be under fire but this is on the Players. Most of them are well down on their best. Most of them aren't even showing up to play each week.

Exactly, can't win footy games when only a quarter of the teams shows up to play.

Can we chalk this up to culture issues?

 

[RU_]

We need Brown to sit out for a week, **** let him coach with Voss.. lets see what the team does.. who they then go to.

 

[Brisbane2013]

i cant explain this, we have regressed so much this year! why?

 

[thoselionslads]

How can an 18 year old draftee show more poise and game sense than 95% of his team mates who have been on the list for so long?

 

[jackess]

Weak as piss midfield. Desperately need a leader in there.
