GAME DAY Tiges v Suns

Fair to say we sold the farm for the next 7 years for 2 donkeys. Could put the club back to the dark old days for years to come

We are already in the dark old days.

Need to spend the next 40 years trying to lift the Mrs Hardwick curse now.

But it's not the kids.
It's the leaders not standing up
They're having to cover for the kids who don't know what they're doing and aren't up to the level. Can't carry so many VFL players and expect the vets to win games anyway. We're not losing because the leaders aren't standing up. We're losing because we've replaced too many injured and departed stars with VFL level players.

Thought ......... ."Maybe I'll just watch an entire Q and not comment for a change and hope to see where the problems lie !"

The next time I contemplate this, please STOP ME ... :bash

The lack of intensity and effort in this side is indicative of deeper problems than just on-field ones.

Can’t wait for the presser “ Credit where credits due the Suns were very good today”.
 
Could be a long road ahead. And I am not even talking about this year.

2nd getting flogged with no apparent talent there,

and the firsts capitulating to 16th to a benny hill soundtrack

yeah its a dark day.

Maybe the Parrot was right. We just are not that good anymore.
His North were not and are not good. So his bitterness beats ours, I can live with that.
 
I just think the whole place needs a refresh starting with the coach.
They will all be legends but it is obvious the players are no longer responding. This isnt about injuries. Its about effort. Two way running. That doesnt cost anything.
Agree, the Saints have got the same old blokes who were duds for the last few years, are now rejuvenated.

The game plan is completely *smile*. Blind Freddy can see that. This zone BS and then run and gun does not work. Dimma has to go.
We are not 2017-20 side no more.

We have still not adjusted after two years with the rules brought in.

We haven’t built a game plan for this side ATM.

No skill. Over use of the ball = turnover or pressure.

Our possessions should be minimal.

Forwards could play in front is a start.

They really have our measure of late. It’s like they have become our “bogey team”.

I called it in 2021. The playing group split when Dimma dipped his wick in the company ink. The work ethic and culture has never been the same

Agree but the leaders are not standing up.
The kids are doing ok.
It's our top 9 letting us down.
Not out bottom 9

You never know, we might get first hands on the ball, hit a target inside 50 and kick straight.
We got this if we do!
