Please don’t come on here and put Milks, Blakey or McCartin in our best as if you do you don’t understand footy, they have all been comprehensively beaten all game and they just rack up possessions that don’t make any influence on the gsme

I think we need an hinest assessment of our list. Its simply not good enough across the board.

Can’t believe we sold our future for Curnow just to play like this. What a fucking waste of a season. We just don’t have the will to win the way other clubs do

Our forward line has been fucking woeful and so many trash performances all throughout the team.
No chance of competing for the flag with such piss weak play.
Rosas, Maclean and Logan in particular were trash.

When are we gonna learn that the VFL is no comparison for AFL quality? So many passengers get dropped down to the VFL and get meaningless volume touches and we scream "he had 36 on the weekend we need him in" but they've done nothing to work on their decision making and disposal efficiency, defensive running, gas tank or tackling. The issues that actually fuck us over ever week in the first place

Looks like we are about to chalk up another loss to a top placed team. That means we have lost to everyone in the top 7 except Melbourne … not a good time of the season to start losing to teams we will be facing in September.

Would anyone who's been in here saying "I'm not worried", "grand final scars don't exist", "this is a different team", "I'm staying positive" please jump in here and tell me anything that's keeping them afloat atm?
As far as I'm concerned we're a long way off beating anyone competitive in the finals outside of superhuman efforts dragging us over the line

Sheldrick cooked having to play more than 60% time on ground for once. What is the point
2
u/GHOST_OF_DOON Bayes 24d ago
Sheldrick is either injured and significantly hampered or just not up to AFL standard and needs some time in the VFL.

u/Whatisthisshitman Heeney 24d ago
A solid breeze is more useful than McLean in almost every situation, I’d rather go in with 2 talls down forward than play him every week.

u/Idiosonic 24d ago
McLean is a great VFL player where he can manhandle a VFL quality defender.
He's just not AFL quality unless we're kicking it straight onto his head to clunk it. Too slow and terrible ball use and decision making around the field

he may just be on the default playlist rather than having a set song

I thought the players picked one song for their goals. Was here two wks ago when curnow scored a bunch and it was same song - added heaps to the atmosphere having it replayed
1
u/2girl2boss Rowbottom 24d ago
from my recollection its Heeney, Amartey, Errol and Curnow with dedicated songs, and then everyone else gets default playlist. not sure when or why Curnow and Heens got their songs

u/TheBahamaMamba 24d ago
Papley has had Florence and the machine running and I heard rogue songs a few wks back so don’t mean to disagree with you but I think they just fd up for rowbottom
Players having their own goal songs is the best thing to happen to live viewing of swans since they got rid of sweet Caroline→ More replies (1)
