Why did someone think it was necessary to teach jones how to play fullback in the off season? He is totally confused as what to do.
was good last year on instinct . Just another example of us undeveloping players.. The club better not send a fluff piece telling me to look for sprouts. No decent free agent would come to us for we have no prospects of finals or flags for a long long while

I thought O'Brien did well.


Yeah your right. After a shaky start he looked quite comfortable.

Im just frustrated. His name shouldn’t be in that list.

Even Dow showed signs and wasn’t our worst but just think he might need a spell. Our history of throwing our kids to the wolves doesn’t seem to yield the results.

I have said the Jones experiment as a key defender is over. But play him as the loose "seventh" defender (ex forward), no opponent, just loose and full of juice.....
Gotta get excited about something :'( :'( :'( :'(
I was there, Blight missed!!!

Can we forfeit The rest of the season?

I can’t watch this crap again.

Depressing. Demoralising. Disgusting.

No green shoots here at all, just despair.

Looking back even more fondly on the Ratten era, yes there were problems but at least there was something. Now I find nothing. Nothing.

Paid up reserved seat member for over a decade. Paying $1500+ for that? No. Sorry, want to be thru and thru and think we have been. My kids have been told there’s no choice in our house, we are Blue. But, this is a fcking farce. Fck the sanctions from all that time ago. screw it all. Why are we so non competitive?! Don’t worry about wins or losses. Wtf has made us so miserably crap for years?

Over it.

After the last two years you expect 10th-11th with 9-10 wins. With our attitude, commitment and couldn't care less attitude you go no-where even if you had a great list on paper. After the last 15 years I'm sick of our club once again barely have a crack, looking like they don't give a phuk, like has happened many times over that period. And they expect supporters to stick.

Absolutely. He needs to be the 2nd or 3rd defender, not the first one. With the other defenders being so poor, he is being sacrificed. Other teams have done their homework on him.
If we were playing the sort of team defence we were last year, he would be doing much better, but with our present defensive structure and the way the ball is coming down, he is not having much of a chance. He isn't a body player and never has been.
Having either Silvagni or Rowe down there gives us a body player, which we need. Then we need to fix up our defensive structures and get some of our players back into form and fitness. Particularly, we need to get the ball out of the middle, which e simply are not doing.
Live Long and Prosper!
