Game Day RD 17 - Tigers V Suns

Grimo dropping marks like that never happened in the flag years. Time to seriously move players on including Jack.

The really disappointing thing to me is that we are better than this and I am not sure why it happens.
6-7 times this season we have come out with no intensity after halftime and it has cost us over and over again.
We have been in front in the 2nd half in all 16 games and won 9. That’s simply not good enough

one of the dumbest last few minutes I have ever seen. The multiple 50 metres. No one behind the pack in the goalsquare. Castagna. Jack’s idiotic jumps. Tarrant long kick to no one. Grimes.
Unbearable.

Thats the game right there. 13 behinds!! And many of them were kickable. Cumbo had 1 in the 1st half, Pickett missed one, MRJ missed one, Aarts had 2 I think, George, well less said there the better, the open goal was essentially the rushed one.

George had what 5 or 6 kicks at goal and came away with 0.2. Thats the game aswell. Poor kicking was going to get us at 1 point and that was tonight and George was the biggest part of that.

Sell Martin to the highest Sydney bidder. Tap Edwards, Cotch, Jack and Lambert on the shoulder and say thanks champs time go pack it up. George, Aarts, Martyn, Dow, RCD, Castagna, George, Castagna..did i mention Castagna can all take their bags and find another club. Whoever else i missed can join them. Also time to have a chat with Dimma and tell him thanks for everything but its time to move on and then start fresh again.

That was awful, he took too long, but then once he'd taken that long and drawn the player, should have handballed over the top to Cumbo on the goal line, did both things wrong and ultimately cost us the game.
Is it surprising?
 
That was probably the choke of the season. We’ve tried to hold onto a truly great era for that but too long. It’s time to make some hard decisions. There have to be casualties from this, but this season is shot. Collingwood are evidence that these things can turn around very quickly if the right moves are made.

i will not attend another game if either aarts or george are playing
had enough

do your *smile* job dimma and make some hard decisions for once

this is 100% on dimma
Presser will be interesting and also during the week. No more toning down and smiling with jokes. Too many players getting an easy ride in criticism just builds this complacency. Same thing could happen next week with the worst team in the league.

Grimes and others had key moments where they had to be better but GC were energised with all the momentum. Bad memories of Karmichael Hunt!!

Grimes and Short with ordinary decision making in the last 5 minutes as our leaders.

Dimma selection of Aarts a handy VFL player. And George disgraceful finish on what should have been a certain goal.

And Jack’s refuses to just compete in the air on playing percentages costs us.

Terrible coaching and strategy in the last few minutes.

Not 1 extra player running back to assist in defence - this is a significant failure in comms and coaching

Probably just handed our finals spot to Collingwood after that.

You just knew it was coming.

I think we are done we cant keep our best players on the park.

The Club and fitness staff have dropped the ball badly this year, we have too many recurring soft tissue injuries to the wrong players too, key players, the players weren't fit enough for the season start and the desire isn't there.

Worst part is that our best side fit could actually win the Flag this year yet here we are back to Richmond 2016 losing games in this fashion.

Embarrassing,

Yep. Get rid of McQualter and Raphael Clarke.

You've been waiting for a moment like this to spit the proverbial dummy haven't you.
