Yes but why against a side where it's their home ground? We play interstate sides at Marvel. The club should have screamed blue murder over that. But no, we roll over and take it up the proverbial every single time.


Yes, we should only be playing the interstate teams at Marvel if we’re obligated to play X amount of games a season there, but do you think the result would be any different if we were at the MCG tonight?

I have coached numerous junior and high school kids in football.
That half by Henry was the worst kicking at goal I have ever seen.
My school kids could have kicked so much better than that.
We have a 3rd rate ruck.
Beggs is so far from impacting the game.
It is beyond belief that he has been given 3 games in a row.
Cameron is not much better.
Shout out to Noble who tries his heart out.
I like the game plan but a number of players are either finished or not to up tostandard.

Okay, I'll bite. Do us all a favour and just start your own thread and put all of your nonsensical ramblings in that.

Midfield being smashed out of the centre. Just unable to compete with their midfield. JDG needs to lift for us to to compete in any way.
Loss of Pendles on the field has created a huge lacuna because we miss his leadership and his ability to be a lock in the chain from half back and in the centre.

Clearances = 26-10 in favour of WB

Centre Clearances = 9-2 in favour of WB

You can’t win matches with such a poor return.

Poor ol Ollie. He should have at least three or four goals by now. Hopefully someone is having a wise, calm word to him at halftime

His confidence looks shot. Needs an experienced head to calm him down and reassure him.
How can ones confidence be shot after five minutes??

Jeezus fricken Christ! Piss off with this shit

They were runner up we finished 17th, we have a baby ruckman and a lot of kids, no Pendles and they were directly gifted 2 goals in the first quarter, plus the deliberate bulkshit call, our players have no necks and poulter gets penelised when he’s the one competing for the ball!

The season is not done, it’s about building and learning,

The dogs are crap, they only kicked one goal that quarter Dane as us! damn dreaming of you think they can take a tough team like the cats who don’t need the umpires



Now I’d like to see de Goey step up big time, and I’d love lipinski to kick a goal!

And I’d take a 2 goal loss right now!

There are a couple of arsehole dogs in my Facebook friends I hope they comment on my post I’ll block their arses! Yep it’s family and I’d love to pick ‘em!

It goes to show how much difference Grundy makes to the team.

I kinda get what you’re saying

Game plan = fine
The list = below average

The coach can only do so much with this team. McRae inherited a poor list with aging stars, very young talent but a huge gulf in the middle.
