What a depressing day. We went, we watched and cringed - the most obvious thing to me was their lack of fitness, wtf do we have a fitness dude for? I feel fitter than 95% of the team looked!
MM is a cancer. Get rid of him today. He always blame shifts and to me, the players seem clueless, having no self belief at all - doesn't a good coach instil self confidence? Not this prick we've got.
Gee what a great move leaving Waite out was - yeah, that'll show the group.... What exactly? Oh that's right, that Hendo can't handle FF. great.
Murph needs to be relieved of pressure, poos bastard. Simons IS CFC, heart and soul. Walks is also heart and soul but lost, Jamo had a shocker and I'm about to take Warnock out myself, he does nothing around the ground, nothing!!!!
Ellard tried his guts out, Curnow was abysmal as was Tuohy. Question needs to be asked - why are they all crap now? Why???
Gibbs has decided to go - fine - his kick in the last for goal nearly made me cry, he cares so little for CFC, can't he just be dropped for the rest of the year?
Sad day, and I solely blame MM for how crap we've become!
They stand around not knowing what to do due to the coach, again - by now they should know their roles FFs.
If Gibbs is going, can't we just make him sign on now or be played in the 2s, pointless to not use others before him now - you could tell very early with Betts that he was leaving, why bother keeping him playing, not going to be part of a premiership this year
Saying he doesn't change the game etc - he's 22 fgs, how many times have Gibbs or Murph changed a game for us - very very rarely. Give the guy a break, he'll come good and we want him to come good for us.
Wow settle down everyone! All teams come from nowhere and build, we can't just clean out half our team and get superstars in their place!
We need confidence and with a million dollar coach, he should know how to get the best out of every player - so far, he hasn't done that so over to you MM, go for it! Instil the confidence they need and the future does look bright.
Someone earlier asked if anyone else noticed how confused out team was - absolutely - and again we get smashed when we look like that. Very proud of the boys, tough ask tonight, that ground was not even suitable for primary school Footy FFS. Bring on 2014
I can't remember which game it was, but MM let them off the leash and they won from behind again this year.
Work with what you've got MM - not try to fashion #1 picks into your style of play all the time. I still think we screwed up getting him as coach, we need someone that isn't as stubborn as just 'play as I believe the game should be played every bloody week'.
So so so proud of that last quarter - partner and I were jumping around the house with the kids looking on happy but a bit bewildered! We did not play MM's gameplan in the Hawks game, and just missed out winning that due to umpiring bias - we are a run with team, a ONE MILLION DOLLAR coach should bring out the best in what his team however they play, not want to make them play his way or the highway every single week!
FMDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! A great screw YOU to Essendon and Hird after last week!
Listening to that on AM was sooooo painful but OMFG cannot believe it - names kept cropping up in the last, Murphy, Gibbs, Walker, Waite, Yaz - they are awesome players - I reckon MM left them off his 'gameplan' leash and wow look what they can do.
Proud as effing punch with those boys in that last quarter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many times does it have to be said, no one else wants the top job
It's really simple - we made a mistake getting MM. He is an arrogant, stubborn fool who lost *most* of the players when he said there'll be a big cull of the list and then Swann went and did the same (or Swann said it before MM).
You can't get the best out of a team when you say half way through the year they're not good enough to execute his game plan - because, you know, we haven't seen it for years and years already and then say you'll get rid of a big chunk of your list. Whether that's necessary or not, there'll be no good morale when crap like that is said publicly about any team or company - it just creates uncertainty and loss of confidence.
One Million Dollars. MM is getting One Million Dollars from us for this year.
If he had any screwing conscience at all, he would hand back that pay.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, he has killed the spirit of our boys and now their confidence is shot. They are not interested because every screwing game I've been to this year, they don't know what the screw they're supposed to be doing.
Eddie M must be laughing his head off. What a complete embarrassment.
And what kind of first year coach comes in and says the list needs to be culled dramatically and that it's the fault of the players that they can't follow his game plan. For a million dollars, I expect the man to work around deficiencies, build up our boys, get THE VERY BEST out of them. Ask yourself - why are they no longer interested? Murph is a shadow of himself, Yaz has zero confidence, Betts DGAF, Walker's dropped off, Waite looks over it
Different methods work with different individuals - this may give Jeffy a kick up the bum but paying out on Yaz and making him sub time and time again seemed more like trying to break his spirit than anything else - you watch some replays, particularly the North game, something definitely not right with Yaz and Eddie looking like he was trying to keep him up - we are screwed if they all leave and I guarantee that at least one of the three will become a superstar and the other two very very good.
It's up to MM to work with each player and get the best out of them, not make them look like screwwits in front of others
OMG just saw the Bummers scenes after the game we provided them with a proud great moment in their history last night. We gave them some hope and joy in possibly the worst week in the history of their club.
Yep, this is what kills me most.
CFC had to win that game for us - the supporters - last night. It was a must win. Against one of our most hated sides, after the 7 months of crap they've had and in particular the horrible week they've just had.
And CFC couldn't even do that for us After years of crap and waiting and waiting. Murph used to be a gun - is he injured? If he is, stop screwing playing him. He looked terrible last night.
MM, imo, has been so rigid with this team about following his rules, that they don't think for themselves at all. Countless times I saw better options presented but no, they had to go down the wing or slow it down. Once I saw a Bomber running out of our F50 and Gibbs was right next to him, but no, he peeled off to stay with his guy when if he had've run straight at the other guy he would've forced a turn over.
We need these people to STAND UP when games are there to be won - Murphy, Gibbs, Waite. The others in Hendo, Tuohey, Scotland, Simpson all usually try their guts out. Don't blame players like Joseph or Duigan - FFS they've played how many games this year? Gibbs has played every single game and he still can't be our go to guy when the going gets tough, and he screwing well should be that guy.
Murphy needs to give back the captaincy at seasons end. I love the guy but something is seriously wrong and it's not getting better.
It's crap that a game of football that meant SO MUCH to us supporters meant screw all to this group. Thanks very much MM and the players
He gets potted on here regularly but one of the things I like best about him is he is a team player, he always goes to guys to say well done, or to stand with a team mate when the opposition are goading them - we are screaming out for guys that do this, I think it's really important.
and then say you'll get rid of a big chunk of your list. Whether that's necessary or not, there'll be no good morale when crap like that is said publicly about any team or company - it just creates uncertainty and loss of confidence.
