The Vent Thread

[Ceebee]

What do they need then? More mollycoddling? More self assurance?

They played on a national stage and absolutely embarrassed themselves, yet you want us to be nice and not hurt their precious, sensitive feelings.

Here I was thinking we were playing a man's game with real men. Clearly not. Gen Y'ers for you, always need to worry about their feelings.

It is becoming clearer why we are as meek as we are when this is the general attitude.

I just shake my head in disbelief.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Angus is lying or someone is intentionally protecting him from the inconvenient truth.

Hope the AFL intervene soon and put an admin team in place who understand footy club values, honesty and respect for members.

 

[Ceebee]

Worst thing about Friday night games is that when we lose, you feel **** for an entire weekend

Nup.
Its over and done with.

 

[Dylan12]

Malcolm Holmes is a liar.

Hope the AFL intervene soon and put an admin team in place who understand footy club values, honesty and respect for members.

I believe you, but how so?

 

[Nuggo]

We won't be getting another Friday night game for quite some time now. No doubt a big reason why they tried to contested the charge against Brown.

 

[jackess]

If it was about quality of matches against big opponents we'd never get a Friday night match. They give us one as a token effort to promote the game.

Hopefully next season we'll get a Friday night Q Clash at the GABBA probably in a split round.

 

[Triple R]

Why?

At least he turned up tonight and showed some passion. More than you can say for half of the team that think they are actually AFL standard players.

The guy paid his money, the players robbed him blind, so who could blame him for going off his head, unlike most who clap the boys congratulating them about how great they are.

Who did that tonight? Who clapped them off and told them they were awesome? No-one. But a tosser who abuses his own players as they are going off is nothing short of a hero. We aren't Melbourne, we aren't Richmond of only a few years ago, we are better than that. Most of the supporters should be, as should people like yourself.

Enjoy your meltdown, tomorrow is another day.

 

[POBT]

This thread is for venting but that doesn't excuse abuse. Keep it civil.

 

[Lionator]

Aaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

 

[radiotron]

not sure if it's already been raised?
THE ****ING ZONE FOR ****S SAKE
and getting pulled apart for an entire quarter before finally switching to man on man?
how are you supposed to put pressure on an opponent when they already have 2 metres on you???

 

[Apex61]

I done something better with my time tonight.

I went to work.

Looks like it payed off my TV now lives but **** my dream team.
Hanley only got 35 points the Lions must of got totally smashed.

Weak pea hearted team, couldn't even **** up some dream team points for me

 

[Lionator]

Adcock was terrible tonight. I blew my top when from the restart he ignored players on the lead and kicked it to a 3 Collingwood 1 lions player situation time after time time after timetime after timetime after timetime after timetime after timetime after timetime after timetime after timetime after timtime after after timetime after time

Spewing I've been thinking of making foam bricks in club colours to chuck at the TV...Pissed off I didn't think of a paddlepop lion instead of a brick!

This. This so much. There were loose players down the middle, but he kept going to players outnumbered, and the ball would come back into the defensive 50 again. So frustrating.

What was running through his mind?? Surely it's been mentioned at training to lower the eyes. Don't just bomb it bloody hell.


Every game we've been competitive in we have lowered our eyes and passed it short and took on the opponent. But that's too hard for Adcock..... Just bombed away despite it failing time after time

 

[Madkeenlions]

VENT: Polkinghorne....

That was one game where he should have stood up in the absence of so many senior players and led the youngsters by example. Was largely outplayed by kids with only a handful of AFL experience.

 

[Nick Lions]

The uncompetitive nature of most of our losses. The fact that our irrelevance saves us from being the laughing stock of the AFL. On a good day we can compete with the middle to top teams. But on a bad day our performances are on par with Melbourne. It's heartbreaking as a supporter. I understand we have a lot of young guys, with enormous upside, but little to no experience. But the effort still needs to be there despite the inexperience. The most disappointing thing is that some of the senior players are the worst offenders, but keep their spots in the side out of necessity, for the fact that without them, the age and experience gap broadens even further.

Now THAT is what this thread is for!

Is it possible to go straight to the AFL and discuss the issues facing us?

I'd love to say yes, but reality tells me it's an irrelevant issue to them.

I agree. Gen Y'ers are just terrible.

 

[Scubaveg]

Would love Papa to put on 12 kg of muscle over bye week

Might effect his running ability. The two don't usually coincide.

 

[jackess]

Mitch Clark.

Why couldn't he get his act together and stay at the Lions.

 

[jackess]

Nick Rewoldt can still run all day. No use running all day if you can't tackle or get smashed in contested marks.

Q: Is Jed Adcock the worst Captain in the AFL?
A: If not, it would be a photo finish and he might make up the quinella.

That is my one and only Vent this week.
