Today And The Future

[GOBBY1]

Well done J Blakey for 350 games. I knew we would lose today because we lose every milestone game. Remember Faileys 200 Ross Smiths 200 Mighty Micks 200 the list goes on. Pitty John the team showed its true gutless self today.
How soft are we?
How slow are we?
We are the worst in the league on the above.

I pay alot of money every year and I think we deserve some explanations. Today was a disgrace.
The next person who says it was one of those days I will abuse your threads till the day I die.
These players are league footballers payed a hell of a lot of money.
Yes they train hard I know but we only demand 100% of them for 2hrs each week. I work 5 days a week for not much at all. These players need to take pay cuts when they play like that.
Teams should not get beaten by that much.

Lets not make the same mistake we have with Colbert.
Get rid of Porter at the end of the year?
He is useless. Last week against his old club he should have dominated. But no he was an insipid waste of oxygen.

Why are our ruckmen useless around the field. Other teams have ruckmen that become on ballers. Ours get a tap here and there and thats it.

Where is David Bourke?
Whats wrong with Harris Smith Petrie.

We need to drop players make them wake up give pay cuts and blood more of the seconds.

Clayton Cochrane McCartney are too slow.
There time to react is slow, pace slow and hand to foot very slow.

Pickett ( god bless him ) unfortunately has had his one good game for the year. He will go missing again like last year. Put him in the back line when we are getting beaten.

Get Harding back and give him game time not sitting on the bench.

We need a major shake up.
We are the one club that if we dont stay competitive we will fold.
Look at our membership this year. Its crap.
We have the most fickle supporters when it comes to paying memberships.

I have had my winch for the week.
But lets face it I would rather do it here then at the game.
Win or lose I clap the boys off but today was a disgrace. It wasnt a just a bad day the writting is on the wall.

I dont care if we lose every game as long as they have a go.
Today they laid down and died.
We use to be respected for being hard.
We are now the marshmellows

Who do you support again?

our speed and ability to create is what is holding us back....our creativity is the worst in the league, we have no one who can just make something happen, he have a tonne of mecurial players s.d.motlop, king, pickett, grant, harvey and yet we're wasting them all in negative roles or out of position....we need axing's left right and centre starting with porter, then moving on to pickett relegated back to the backline

despite what you said, colbert was fantastic today and was the only person (minus d.motlop) on our team who actually won in their one-on-ones...to get rid of porter at this early stage is a mistake....but if he has one entire crap season we should trade him back to carlton for trent sporn or someone...clayton, cochrane and mccartney all played well and despite being "slower" than others they do their jobs very well, and i think clayton has been stellar the last two games and should be a permanent forward with stints in the midfield as a tagger....

there's nothing wrong with our youngsters but pagan seems to be killing them just letting them rot in the magoos (especially petrie, anybody know how well he did in the magoos on rehn?)

i agree harding should be a permanent FORWARD not midfielder! keep him in the pocket he was brilliant there in his first game kicking 3 goals so why jump him around all over the place on the wing!?!!?! david bourke was a waste of time

i know a lot of questions have to be asked and ANSWERED! the one thing our club never does....but it;s not all doom and gloom, we still have baird, d.motlop, s.motlop and harvey still to look forward too....

Agree whole heartedly. But some of the blame has to go to the coaching staff. Surley they must see what is going on during the game. Pagan has to make the hard decisions now, start axing a few of the so called CORE PLAYERS and give the young guys a go. If we get beaten so be it, but at least we will have a future. The way we played today, is just a taste of what we are going to get for the rest of the year. A suggestion I have is when we are getting beaten out of the centre like we were today, why didn't Pagan use a little creativity and put Pickett in for the centre bounces. At least he might have been able to dish out a few good bumps!! and break the game open a bit.
