This is the worst part. You're right. We will play vastly superior football at some point this year which will paper over the cracks that the gameplan isn't good enough. We may even play finals, but we'll be making up numbers.

4 preseasons with JL and that is the result in terms of ball movement. It's not good enough. Sack him now and spare us all the pain of thinking we're good but never good enough.

You are probably right but we’ll need to really shit the bed for that to happen

We are a very conservative club
 
Can I just say I was against JOM since he's not that good (occasionally very good but inconsistent) but its actually worse than I thought. Reckon there is a good chance he'll end up at Peel long before the 4 years are up.

I know our culture is important but you still have to be able to help the team win games on the field.

At least the Hawks are paying most of his salary this year.

Conservative doesn't work unless you're miles better than everyone else. We are clearly not that.

4 years? Tell me you're joking?
 
It’s funny how so many things change, but everything always remains the same.

The thing is and I was dreading it before the game, we 90% of the time lose to St Kilda in a away game.
True to form today was no different, I'll just write this game off as a blip and hopefully we'll be back full steam ahead next week.

What blip? This is how he coaches.

It's never getting better. The results will because the players are talented and will improve, but get used to being let down because this **** won't cut it against good sides in september.
 
No! I'm going to melt, and I'm going to melt hard!

Start the rebuild. Have another crack at it in 2028.
Most of the players are fine, is the method. Sack JL and get someone with some balls. I can't stand Macrae and his smug face but at least the dude gets the team to have a crack.
 
Here we go again. New year. Same s**t.

I'm out of patience for Tab. Happy never to have him in the team again. Treacy is still not up to it, but he puts pressure and impacts. I'd rather that. Amiss needed up when he can.

Fyfe, just don't know what to do with him. Need to kick ffs. He can get to the right places but just has no impact. He still thinks he is a 24yo and can break tackle after tackle.

Game plan. I think RTB broke what ever game plan there was. And JL couldn't work through it. High pressure, and we went to s**t. No run..even in the last 7 min, the game was on the line and it was slow possession footy wtaf.

Taberner is so frustrating but I'd definitely have him in over Treacy everyday of the week. Tabs did 4x as much in 3 quarters as Treacy did the whole game .Also made a marking contest which led to a Shultz goal and set up Henry for a goal which he couldn't get from 25m out. Cohuna did nothing but give away frees. He should earn his spot and learn how to mark.

I think he's smart and tactically sound, he's just clearly awkward and too much of a pussy to be aggressive with selection and tell players how it is.

I bet if there was some stat to see the average changes week on week (excluding R1 & injuries) for the last 2 seasons we'd be among the lowest in the competition.

Probably, but I don't even care about that. You can carry a couple of potatoes that don't deserve to be there if your method is sound. Ours isn't and so all that other stuff is just noise.
 
That game style is hideous,slow keepy offy footy (YUK) I thought we'd seen the last of that shit .Teams like the Pies will absolutely murder us if we keep it up,bottom 4 performance

Give him and his annoying, punchable face Fremantle's defence and the Pies win the flag without breaking a sweat.

Sadly, I think you may be right though. He'd froth having Clark, Walker, Young etc putting it on a plate for Frederick, Switta, Treacy etc.

Pre-emptive vent since one of the following two things will happen:

1) We don't improve much and end up bottom 6-8 OR
2) We improve drastically after a poor first couple of games and end up a 5-8 team like last year then I get sucked into believe JL will improve our method over pre-season and we have this same loss 4 times next year.

Laughable Treacy’s management is supposedly putting pressure on the club about game time if its true

Catch ya
 
I want to vent about the supporters/members having a meltdown about the entire season in ROUND ONE! they will be the same ones begging for barcodes and expressing their 'dying love for Freo' come finals time.

Hate to say it but you look at what Macrae has achieved at Collingwood and it makes you wonder
Mind you 2 red hot mid sized and small forwards with some football brains like Macrea , Ginnivan or Elliot would make a huge difference to our team
Delivery was there but unfortunately there was a poorly coached rabble on the end of it .
Jackson and Darcy trying to out mark each other
Bomb it on Tabereners head over and over again
Lead to the pockets

FFS 🤬
HAVE WE GOT THE DUMBEST FORWARD LINE IN THE AFL ?
 
It's at this point I'll say I agree that Luke Jackson is a unicorn.

He doesn't exist.

It’s at this point I’ll say unicorns [emoji882] probably aren’t very good marks of the football either
