Roast Vent Here

[Madas]

There’s a bunch running in a circle where every shit team is beating another shit team so that it’s becoming quite hard to work out who’s the actual shittest.
So far we’ve had Norf d Poort; Poort d Bummers; the Scum d Norf… next week we have Norf v Bummers and Poort v the Scum. We have to wait till Rd12 for the blockbuster Scum v Bummers game to really see how it’s all going to pan out - but I feel we’ll get a fair idea after next week.
The real shit will soon sink while the more slimey stuff will rise to the top. My prediction as the season progresses:
Poort
Scum
Norf
Bummers

(Richmond get a pass for being crap cos they’re trying to do the rebuild right. cough Murphy Reid cough)

To be fair things fell apart pretty quickly today when Logie Bear was ruled out which left the Scums forwards a bit of an opening
Pretty poor coaching from Clarkson not to adress that

Jeebus IP. This post is full of crap!

I like seeing Voss do Voss things like crashing packs and smashing opponents with a bone crunching tackle. The rest of his game comes along when he does that. Even picking Langdon up was just a funny bit of by play. What I don't want to see him do is carry on like a pork chop cos you know his brain is far too gone to think about playing footy. At that point he just wants to be a pest. It's immature and weak.

I’m not that concerned about Voss. I think he’s far more likely to break a game open for us in the coming weeks than Amiss for example.
Remember Voss had a poor start to last season too. Hell - I even recall some of our most prominent extreme optimists on this board were ready to run him out of town with pitchforks after round 2 defeat to the Swans last year in Perth.

He’ll dominate and kick 3 or 4 in a game pretty soon in the coming weeks.

Jye Amiss though…. We have a problem here that’s inevitably going to bite us at some stage. I would say he hasn’t been in the top 5 freo players on the ground in a game in about 3 years now. Around the league players considered inferior in the past such as Chol and Shannon Neale have left him for dust in their development.
You can get away with being a low possession key forward but you need to be racking up goals like Ben King at the suns to be effective in that role.
Not sure what the solution is. Maybe a stint a peel to get confidence

Jye Amiss isn't getting any better playing in the ones. That is a fact.

Look at this absolute horse shit

I just can't ... How is this something that the MRO cares about?

I can see an argument - barely - that Voss deserved a fine from that game, but if he did, it'd be for carrying Langdon around, not for rubbing his own eyes as a part of a taunt. The Langdon thing worked out OK because of the timing (after the game was already decided), and because Langdon laughed it off, but to me it's the one clearly more likely "to instigate a melee or retaliatory action".

More of a small vent considering how much draft success we’ve had compared to West Coast’s in recent times, but damn I would have loved Murdock on our list instead of the slime’s.

Stoked for the bloke personally to be on an AFL list and making an impact, just not for that mob

he is doing his job and our forward line is working well with 3 mobile tall FWDS!

I half agree with you. There were definitely 3-4 good things he did up the ground and very rarely is Treacy being double teamed because Amiss still needs to be manned up.

In the first minute he came steaming out of the 50, took the ball on the bounce and handballed immediately to Dudley who just missed on the run (for our first behind) - lovely play by him that we need to see more of.

But then the miss in front of the sticks after the 50m penalty was abject and you could see his confidence drain away.

At the expense of scerri?

I’d love to see more out of Amiss, but while we’re reliably scoring 100+ points I’d be reluctant to mess with the components of the forward line

Lick of the ice cream blah blah
