Is there any point...?

No.

We’re two games away from paying Brendan Fevola $10,000 for a cameo.

We’ve already reached the point where I don’t give a goose’s shit if we do.

there was a period during the 3rd qtr where i thought i was watching a game of organised forths'n'backs.

just long kicks to contests from both teams for what felt like about 10 minutes.

no one running, no one looking to rebound or spread. it's the worst standard of football i've ever seen. no joke. ever! why we clear out our forwardline and leave not one single player at home baffles the shit outta me. we weren't doing that last season?

it's football suicide to do this, even if you're defending a lead late in the 4th, i wouldn't recommend sending the whole house into defense. but here we are 4 minutes into the 1st qtr doing it.

it's like malthouse is trying to lose.


I'd like someone at the club come out and explain this plan. because i sure as hell can't see what they're trying to achieve

I thought we had a real crack for the first 2.5 quarters but just horrible, no idea, mistake ridden football.

We even had more of it in the last but just couldn't score.

I reckon we tried the corridor 3 or four times, [REDACTED] each attempt up royally ( Walker and some others) and then spent the rest of the games hugging the boundary.

Did anyone actually want the ball from the kick in? Looked like Zac and Doc kept trying to work something out between them, but then zilch, no cauliflower anywhere offering anything.


This was Brisbane - after 2.5 quarters we should have been 9 goals 4 up.

We don' play for our team mates. We don't shepherd after dishing off a handball. We don't run to space, we don't cover the goalside space or the centre corridor.

We have absolutely no idea how our teammates play - no anticipation at all.

There is no confidence that 'Judd will win that 1 on 1 so I better run to space'.

Sacking Malthouse and having Laidley or Barker take over may result in short term success, win a few extra games, give us some hope for the future.

The last thing this club needs right now is false hope.

We're terrible on and off field and we need to understand that and review everything from top to bottom between now and the end of the season.

Leave him in place, let things hit rock bottom so the club is forced to accept the true state of things.


:thanks:
