Review Very ugly vs North.

[Golumless]

Yeah. Title sums it up.

That is, by far some of the worst football I've seen us play. Just disgraceful.

Jenkins has played one of the most pathetic three quarters I've seen, Walker is getting triple teamed and yet he's nowhere to be seen.

Our ball movement has just been showing that the last 6 weeks have been a dream where we actually understand to lead, to use short passes and to be damaging. Today it's been bomb it to the top of the square.

That style doesn't work, and it's hasn't ******* worked in a decade with us.


Also 10 goals in the first quarter to our opposition. Like seriously the *?

Some of the worst footy Ive seen anybody play.

 

[Crows4Eva]

I'm glad this has happened. Now the next time the media starts talking us up and anyone thinks about getting a big head Pyke can point to them to sit down and watch the replay of this debacle which should be burnt onto DVDs for everyone to take home and required to watch after every training.

 

[Raleigh98]

Yeah, not much we can do about it now. If we can get away with no more injuries then that would be a positive.

Take nothing away from North though, they have played pretty sensationally too.

Chin up Adelaide. Tassie is a s**t place to play AFL. It could be worse... you could be Collingwood.

 

[Brentmeister]

Timely reality check. May as well be at a ground we won't play on for the rest of the season. Didn't handle conditions early and playing catch up after quarter time.

Almost as bad as Kardinia Park

There's a quarter to go muppet OP

 

[Rotayjay]

Good: Eddie gets his 500th goal

Bad: Too bad this milestone was overshadowed by A MOUNTAIN OF STEAMING POO.

We're just not interested in winning this one.
Lazy, unaccountable football.
Hartigan getting a bath from that old spud Waite.
Tex setting a disgraceful example giving away frees and 50s.
Rubbish whistle-happy umpiring.
Ball-watching.
Kangaroos in space everywhere.

As the great man said, 'At least we didn't waste a good game on a loss!' Pyke and every single player on our list have got a lot of work to do.

Found out badly with contested ball today. Charlie will get a week as well for his tummy tap.

Not a great match but will give them an idea on what to work on

 

[jayyskii]

Good: a reality check for the coaching staff/players

Ugly:
a 10 goal first quarter blowout
shocking skills
no heart from the players
knight/hampton invisible all day
spud Waite playing the game of his career

And?

Are you happy with what's been shown by a contender today?

You give up too easy.

Or West Coast and can't win away from home...

 

[Scorpus]

Effort. It was all down to EFFORT. And we showed none. No desire to win the ball, no desire to pressure their players. Not switched on again in the first quarter.

Forget we were playing in a windy environment we struggled to read. We lost the game in the midfield because we couldn't be bothered to tackle, chase or apply pressure. We thought we'd stroll in to a game against an easy opponent again and just take out a win.

Just an insipid, disgraceful performance.

To make matters worse, we've seen this time and again. If it's even a little bit tough or unexpected, we capitulate mentally. West Coast R23. Geelong twice last year. Sydney and Hawthorn in 2016 and 2015 finals. It's a trend and we need to fix it without making pathetic excuses like "Blundstone is a s**t arena" or "we just weren't switched on" or "it was an anomaly". We need to make changes that address the issues and ensure that we have the right personnel to actually win pressure games

 

[Golumless]

You give up too easy.

We're 50 points down and played some of the most disgusting, and unaccountable football I've witnessed in a long time. If anything, the fact this thread only came up now shows I don't.

You could have easily justified this after the first quarter.

 

[Deaneus!]

Great work Douglas

EDIT: this was sarcasm for the crap kick at goal when he and Charlie were running in

 

[spexau]

They've had double the tackles .. disgraceful effort. Better to have this loss now than round 23. Plenty to work on.

At least we don't have to suffer through the remainder of the year believing we are a genuine chance only to fall over again in finals.

Jenkins is as soft as butter thank god he's only on a year contract.

Pretenders.

 

[Hank93]

Wake up call might not be a bad thing in the long run.

 

[Dewy006]

Ugly: Why when North had kicked 5 or 6 unanswered goals in the first, would we not send a couple of players back loose, shore things up, and reset at the break, 5 or 6 goals is manageable, 10 is not.

 

[FAITH]

the loss we had to have.

 

[Banshee23]

I thought Lever was good. Everything/Everyone else .... bad.

 

[Bovo]

Tackling would be a lovely skill to have.

 

[Banshee23]

Umpiring absolute shite... but we know we'll have those days.
