Just in time for the match of the round. Hope we pound this mob!
Not looking promising.
Persisting with the game plan of standing back and applying no pressure.
Game over, you can tell. Flat as a tack we are.

Could get ugly, our defense looks slow and jittery...

Might switch off soon. >:(

May as well, our whole team already has
Tanking for the mid season draft.
What the f**k blues.
Ive seen enough.
9 shots to 1 before quarter time. This will be a very bad result
So who have we got to fix up Mumford???
But if you break the game up into seconds we have won lots of seconds.

Do the umpires really need to help the giants today???

Murphy
Embarrassing
I thought these sorts of performances were finished.
Obviously not.

Been intimidating, not Kreuzers favourite type of ruck opponent.
Murphy looks real sore after that knee..
Good thing LOB was there to get 1 disposal instead of Kennedy. And he wasn’t alone, Silavgani and Cas have 1 too.
Better still, well done Charlie and Macreadie for getting zero. Given they’re playing forward is it really their fault though? (Not sure why Macreadie is forward and Cas back)
Game plan falling apart.
(Cripps getting tagged)
Farce.
We're a one man team.
He's getting scragged to buggery.
No chance while he's not being protected.
This is not Bolts bashing , but if players are not responding to the coach , something has to change

Daisy tried to protect him. The umpire gave De Boer a free kick.

How could we be not prepared for what was coming.
I really, like others, thought this kind of cr@p was well behind us.
Could it really be that we're a one man team? Gulp.
What the fark is going on?
Lachie O'Brien. Why? FMD why?

Our players are seriously under prepared, poorly drilled and don’t work together as a team.
That is squarely on the coaching panel.
I’m going to follow whatever team cripps moves to.
The one thing that might help us is that GWS aren't the most disciplined or mentally strong side going about so... so ...hopefully... they take their foot off the pedal... hopefully.
Lachie O'Brien. Why? FMD why?
Yes Prof , ask myself the same thing, I know we have a raft of injuries but stil.. Might be an idea to take Cripps off for a break, angry man about at the moment
I thought these sorts of performances were finished.
Obviously not.
On track to set another unenviable record. That if the biggest thrashing of all time.
The performance by our boys is surreal. Hard to imagine they are from the same code, let alone the same league.
Can someone ask the president what this is "proof of". If he thought our 1 win was proof of our improvement....????
Anyone live in Western Syd, please pull the plug on the lights please
I waited all day for this.....
That is squarely on the coaching panel.
Selection commitee ? Head Coach...??
I'm really over this
Realistically when does Bolts feel the tap?
Not sure why we all talked up Setterfield.
Still a kid but shows nothing.
Looks another GWS flop to me.
74 v 13. Not half time yet.
Can we just call it quits and give them the points.
This is excruciating to watch
Only consolation is we are not likely to trouble Melbourne's record loss of 190pts...lol.
Murphy off to hospital
Murphy heading to hospital so he wouldn't be back, so we are a man down
Only consolation is we are not likely to trouble Melbourne's record loss of 190pts...lol.
Don't tempt fate Laj , just deplorable

Well you would think the selection committee would learn to stop going into matches with too many kids. But here we are. Not saying Kennedy is an experienced player, but he’s a better option than LOB and Setterfield right now.
74pts near half time. Maybe GWS will just jog the 2nd half..lol.
GWS best ever first half at that ground. So good of us.
That's a bonus, it's half time. No more scoring for a while.
Bolton can go tomorrow.
We'll see if Bolton can coach in the second half. Needs to keep it under 80 points..... If it blows out further he can pack his bags AFAIC.
Acid really needs to be put on the players, need to sort out the blokes prepared to battle on from the weak pricks who give up. We've too many of those.
No words , this beyond a joke now. We expected at least committment, a competitive outfit, there is no passion or energy . Will someone make a stand in the second half?
They're starting to do 'tricks'now.

Once it was obvious we were in strife I noticed P Roos said he'd put the experienced blokes on the ball (GWS winning it far too easily out of the guts) and put the acid on them to get the side back into the game. Seemed like common sense, really.

Yep cause it clear to see we have a list full of super stars and just being held back unfairly by Bolton and his crew. Please. Does gameplan tell you to kick to the opposition. Does it tell you not to tackle. Does it tel you not to pressure.
Are you watching this game?
The kids learn nothing in a game like this.
All it does is demoralised and sap their confidence.
This is why I hate seeing o'Brien selected.
When you hear commentators saying that GWS players can just waltz passed our blokes...
This is turning into ritual humiliation.
I saw Barker talking to the midfield in the half time break. Maybe that is part of the problem.
Interesting that we are winning the hitouts. But it means nothing when the disposals are 247-136

Basically non existent. Our midfield is a disgrace, our problems start and finish there.
When you hear commentators saying that GWS players can just waltz passed our blokes...
Yep, that’s our zone. Stand back, guard space and give th opposition room to run around unpressured in the hope they make unforced errors that result in a turnover.
Then when it doesn’t work just watch the opposition run forward harder.
I saw Barker talking to the midfield in the half time break. Maybe that is part of the problem.
Yep. He has to go before Bolton.
Murphy heading to hospital so he wouldn't be back, so we are a man down
Not sure that will make much difference somehow.. we're already 17 men down.
All the best to Murphy. Hope it's not serious.
I suspect he may have fractured ribs complimentary of Mumford's fist.

We have a talented young side who are 1-8, 4-41 4th year in. Reiwoldt and Carey are forever talking up the talent, and they do know more than anyone on here.
We're not good enough to beat GWS, but this effort is inexcusable.
All on the coach.

I think the problem is that the Coaches have lost the players. A week to prepare and AGAIN, not firing from the first quarter. It can’t be that hard to get players up and running. It can’t. They’re young Men in their Primes, pumping with Adrenaline..and yet they dish off this. No risk of consequences. You think Roos, Lyon, Buckley, hell any decent coach would tolerate those pathetic efforts? Culture, Culture, Culture.
Let’s see what happens. I think the Head Coach is coaching for his job now. If this gets close or beyond 150 points....

Coaches.

The knees were pretty helpful as well.
Don't worry, LN, Mumthug will not even be cited. So brave to take out a bloke 40 kg lighter, what a deadset ducking hero.
Somebody needs to drop a knee into that ducks kidneys, but none of our blokes have the stones. Seriously, Casboult pulls out to prevent hurting people. We're roadkill. Our kids don't stand a chance with senior blokes who always play so nice.
Not often do you really feel embarrassed but today is the day, not even a Yelp, we just rolled over
Macreadie just got his first stat.
We’ve turned off.
Absolutely appalling.
Macreadie just got his first stat.
First one was a free against. He was rated -3!!
Kick, tackle, free against. Not a great set of figures.
Are you watching this game?
Yes... In watching this just like ive watched every game we've played for the last 45 odd years.
We have crap selectors and a crap game day coach .. IMO
If you threw a second ball on the ground we couldn't get it

Can only select players that are available , not much left in the NBs , there are injuries that haven't help, but no excuses for this , especially after last week. It has to be a mental attitude thing
Wow. Started 2nd half like the first.
LIFELESS players, CLUELESS coaching.
Already 108 v 14.
This will make our last (-105 or so) scoreline look flattering.
Unfathomable.
We shot Finlayson into the mix as a Coleman Smokey .
Crikey how many more embarrassing moves can be left???
Please don't say the 191 one.
Why wasn't Kennedy playing?
LOB gets picked every time and does SFA....
Unacceptable effort across the park again.
I've never seen a game were we have gotten so little if the ball. These so called "talented" young mids have been completely missing today, the more senior ones have not provided one zot of leadership or inspiration. Nothing.
Bring your mouth guards Monday.
Dow should have been dropped weeks ago.....
Curnow C. too.

Back in the day Barrassi or John Kennedy would have them training 6am in the morning lol
I can’t wait to read the next lot of excuses for Bolton.
4 from 40 was not statistically correct was one this week.
How is this scoreboard for statistically correct?
This bloke CANNOT coach
Dow should have been dropped weeks ago.....
Curnow C. too.
Your right both are playing like hacks but replacements are unlikely to be much better. These are players that were raved on about preseason.
Who’s left in NB?
Kerr, Kennedy big whoop. And who comes in for McCreadie, settlefield, Casboult....all crape.
Our problems are much much deeper then decisions made at selection.

Yep agree with this as much as I agree with the fact the list would be lucky to have 5-6 players on it that would get a game for a top 4 team.
We overrate our players.
Is this a classic example of coaching trying to mold players into a game plan rather than understanding your players and molding something to help them get the best out of themselves/playing to their gifts/strengths?
Told you blokes after the NAB cup, Dow and Chuck playing like crap. Time to make them work for it.... Drop them.
Casboult can F off as well, Kerr is a direct swap.
Stocker and Kennedy on ball for starters.
Curnow senior....days are numbered.
The tell was the midfield coach sitting in the midfield circle at 1/2-time!
90pts is GWSs greatest ever 3/4 time advantage. Hey, if you've played a bad game and you need an opponent to help play you back into confidence/form... dial us.
If ever our over-reliance on Crippa was ever demonstrated... here it is. Every opponent now knows (as if they didn't beforehand) that if you quell Crippa we go to water. Oh dear...
Just inept - watching it live it is nothing more than a training run for the Giants. We look like the under 17’s.
No words for how tough this is to watch with a young kid desperate to see them play well. Without Cripps we have nothing and we have not changed anything all day.
Just watched a passage of play with Dow fisher Setterfield O’Brien and SPS which sums us up.
GWS player had the ball centre wing, and was only about 5 or so metres from them and just sort of jogging on the spot with the ball. Not fking one of our players felt the need to run at him or applied any pressure. Piss poor.
In the end harry run him down.
Our kids are over rated, soft with no defensive side to their game.

Hmmm selectors and coaching... Hmmm
One of the few times ever - I actually switched off at half time. It was so infuriating it was bad for my health.
Guys not showing any effort to chase or man up or tackle. Our midfield was pathetic. When we did get the odd chance we butchered it.
Our guys walked onto that field already mentally beaten and they played it out.
Complete mental disintegration and the coach's career is off life support and we're just making him comfortable now.
Stating it was not a 100+ point loss. Is that a positive at the moment?
