Game Day Rd 21 - Brisbane @ Optus

[Funbeanman]

F**k sake everyone talking sh*t? Really? We aren’t that bad we are literally a few years into a rebuild!! And Brisbane are years in front of us for a rebuild and been forever since they were any good.. Iv been going to games since 1995 when I was a club doc member as a kid .. I’m more excited about this team than any other team ever!! Yeah fair enough we are not good enough this year. But give us a couple of years we are building something special. I’m certain of it more than ever.


P.S and we will beat west coast next week.

et all have set this club back at least two years!

 

[Quokka]

The only positive I could extract from this match, is that I guess.....Brisbane were at our level two years ago? Who knows - I'm bereft of answers!

But we were at our level 5 years ago

 

[Retzlaff]

As our key forward colyer has been pathetic after quarter time

 

[Midnite65]

Last week we won the game in the last few minutes due to 2-3 brilliant tackles and a couple of clearances. This week, like the Cats game we want to play chasey and not lay any tackles.

 

[Purple Jesus]

The worst part is we’ve had the same problem for the last decade. It cost us a flag in 2013 and it hasn’t been addressed. Just hail mary trades while ignoring KPFs in the draft. ****ing depressing.

 

[#1JohnHuttonFan]

a few years? its been 6 years, thats a f*n eternity

I wouldn’t exactly call it 6 years!!! We technically went into rebuild mode in 2017-2018 dude.. but yeah ok whatever you think!! Like I said never been more excited about this team we are building.. and iv been here since the beginning.

This stat at 3/4 time. Serious lack of effort.

Again, what’s the point of this small fleet. Always playing 5 or 6 when other teams have 3 max. Miss Ballas or Mayne. Jesus those were the days

 

[Rob]

1 tackle inside 50 that quarter, maintaining our average.

And why the **** aren't we tagging Rich? Our small forwards are doing **** all regardless, we may as well use one for something useful.

 

[armpit]

Well we fired up for at least 6 minutes there....

Yes. The first 6 mins and then when we kicked 2 in a row were sweet.

 

[WaywardSonSon]

But we were at our level 5 years ago

As I said, I was scraping the bottom of the barrel for solace!

 

[freo1997]

You must have blinkers on if you can't see the improvement from our young kids. Plenty has changed.

Tucker is trash, Crowden might not even be wafl standard. That middle tier is garbage.

Walker, Brayshaw, Cerra, Darcy, Serong and Young look great. Chapman will be the next Fyfe imo.

What’s your dealers number?

 

[Van_Dyke]

this is so goddamn embarrassing. yet another must win game and we dish up a wet lettuce leaf. starting to get seriously concerned how many times this has happened this season

2016 we started playing the kids and cleaned out the list, brought in 6 key players at the end of 2016

6 years without finals now

 

[Superkoops]

Meek isn't AFL standard.

We need another Ruck for Depth.

Draff a KPF and Medium Size Fwd

Recruit Speed for the midfield.

That is exactly what Longmuir has been saying - ruck/forward. The guy is way off the pace. Gerard Healy is right that Meek to take the next step needs to hold a mark. I’m not sure if he’ll ever develop this skill. It’s not as if he is a rookie. Been on the list for years.

Crowden and Western aren’t near it either.

 

[freo1997]

so you want another ruck too?

I reckon. We had Sandi, Clarke, Griff and Hannath on the same list.

 

[Lach72]

one mark inside 50 leads than them

 

[Freoforever86]

The amount of times our small forwards get in the way of the talls or sucked into contests is ridiculous. Never anyone waiting at the feet.

crowdens run 10kms for 5 touches. Just has no idea where to run to impact the play.

westerns just too small, nowhere near ready.

wilsons cooked. Don’t wanna see him back this season. Play NoD.

2x games v Carlton. Essendon. It’s depressing.

 

[Bicco]

Meek isn't AFL standard.

We need another Ruck for Depth.

Draff a KPF and Medium Size Fwd

Recruit Speed for the midfield.

He's played like 6 games, probably needs another 20. Henry as a #9 Draft pick is a much greater concern. Meek and Henry have 8 possessions to this point and Meek has a goal.

 

[Belnakor]

Western crowden Collier Henry have all been complete anonymous that’s why Brisbane are running it out at their leisure. Any danger of putting the slowest bloke in the competition with a cannon leg under a bit of pressure before he spots up targets all day ?

 

[blue shark]

The absolute morons who were responsible for drafting Cameron McCarthy, Jesse Hogan et all have set this club back at least two years!

The problem is that the players bought in are Soft as butter.
I keep asking who are our enforcers?
Freo all potential no go.

 

[wahooo]

Tucker is trash, Crowden might not even be wafl standard. That middle tier is garbage.

Walker, Brayshaw, Cerra, Darcy, Serong and Young look great. Chapman will be the next Fyfe imo.

The middle tier has been garbage today. Other weeks, they've done their job and more. Just need some consistent contributions from them.
