Review Round 6, 2024 vs Collingwood

[Marmozet]

Still waiting for us to come back out after quarter time.

Just a casual 73 point turnaround.

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

Only watched the first quarter.

Butters looking excellent. Collingwood showed some good signs, might be a close one if we're not careful.

 

[tangolikelama]

One of the most embarrassing performances I can recall.

One of the most embarrassing performances I can recall.

Since our last game against a contender.

 

[philreich]

We've treated this game like it's a preliminary final.

 

[Coobk001]

Absolutely resounding defeat.

A total and comprehensive vindication in those whom like me understand exactly where we sit and are not trying to delude ourselves with some sort of belief that something is going to change. Today showed us exactly the confirmation we all need. We will not be successful in any way in our current form.

The killer is just having to wait out another year or so of this until our club finally grows some balls and instigates change.

We don't win these games, we aren't up to it. We don't have the hardness, the discipline, the game style. We don't have gears, we are mentally fragile. We just have so many flaws that outweigh all the good. It's all well and good to look great and get all sorts of plaudits when downhill skiing, but when the heat is on we just don't stand up.

Oh Well its just another game. And another year. And another decade. Hope the next coach knows about winning the GF.

 

[ClintEastwood]

So, we are all left with that sick feeling in the pits of our stomachs, that is the enduring hallmark of the Hinkley era. Just * him off.

 

[manureid]

Not seen a minute, but guessing we lost in the usual manner and will still get another season of the same next year.

Who cares.

 

[tribey]

One of the most embarrassing performances I can recall.

Can’t say we didn’t approach it like a final.

 

[Marmozet]

It must be nice to have a coach like Craig McRae

that can actually change things up when things aren’t working at first and actually do something differently.

 

[VineValerian]

Best things about today:
1. first 20 minutes
2. JHF
3. Houston
4. Bergmann & Burgoyne in patches
5. Marshall & MG getting the ball, but leading to dumb positions and thus kicking from the boundary line too often.

That's it

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

lol we all knew that there would be a mini fight back in the fourth to the praise of Ken too

 

[klem22]

This is disgusting it is not PA yet the bogans at the top still believe.

 

[Coobk001]

I wish we lost last week. That flukey finish was lipstick on a pig. Sitting here at 3-3 after getting walloped would be showing where we are really at, and putting the blowtorch firmly on Hinkley where it belongs.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Seventy-three point turn around

Should have been 123

 

[backtozero]

Unfortunately if you can't win these ones then forget about ever winning a final at the MCG.

Collingwood will kick into gear now and likely be there on the big day again.

 

[JUSTWORK]

13 goal turnaround since half, absolutely pathetic

 

[Schulzenfest]

Review of the second ruck 'experiment':

Sweet and Soldo had a combined 13 touches (Soldo averages 11.4 on his own) and 4 marks
Sweet and Soldo kicked a combined 0.0
We lost the clearances
We got walloped in the centre clearances
We lost the game
And Soldo has played 94% gametime, so we didn't even succeed at giving him a rest.

An abject failure on every level, as it was always going to be. Turns out I'm not just some hysterical pessimist, I'm just a person who watches football and is capable of pattern recognition. Shoutout to everyone who tagged me in the changes thread like Sweet getting picked was some sort of win.

 

[El Zorro]

Back where we belong. Meh, who expected anything different?

 

[JimmyBC]

I'd rather get Williams and McKenzie back into that defence I reckon they are a bit tougher than a couple of the cream puffs currently down there.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Pathetic

Once again we have a challenge and we roll over and take it, biggest down hill skiers in the AFL for 11 years now.

Weak minded group every year under Kenny

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Macking cheese the super sub with 2 disposals

Everyone thought that was pointless except one guy

 

[philthy05]

Is that right, sidebottom has 200 MCG games out of his 313????

No that can’t be right. That would be farcical

 

[Us against the rest]

Tomorrow will be how the selfish players let Kenny down. Meanwhile the heat is on Bevo.
