So how much longer to do we have to tolerate performances like this?
Our skills are deplorable
We go to water under pressure
Our players show little or no desperation when the going gets tough
How many coaches are we going to kill?
Our list is not as talented across the board as we think I reckon.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Why waste time on this virtual signalling with the effort on the Respect Game. They need to concentrate on winning football games.

Again I refer back to the gap between our best and our worst, its just too large. We are too inconsistent to play finals. Yes we can beat anyone but when it gets hard, we go to water. We talk about leaving too much to too few like Walsh, Cerra, Cripps, George, Doc, Saad. They were some of our worst offenders from a poor skills perspective. Thats the most difficult pill to swallow for me.

Skill execution under no pressure is deplorable.
This mob craps their pants when they are challenged. What a bunch of softcocks.

Another Friday night, another quality opponent, another opportunity to prove ourselves worthy, another failure.

When you gift games to out of form players and only have two proper forwards, what do you expect?

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

We're just no good at the moment and I don't know if we ever will be. As a supporter the dread I feel before every game stems from consistently getting let down by these pretenders. I'm sure that the term flat track bullies will get used more than once this weekend when referring to us and deservedly so.

Our list is not as talented across the board as we think I reckon.

Seems we've been saying that for an eternity.

The decision making and composure, followed by shocking skill errors shows our identity.

How long did we get stuck inside d50?
Yet, we had no idea how to overcome it. Just repeated the same plays and gave it back to them.

Played maybe 1.25 quarters against a real contender and it showed. No excuses Vossy.

Very disappointed for our milestone men.

Promise everything, deliver nothing.

Until the sides wants it badly enough rather than playing for the paycheque then this is what we get. No way this side should miss finals but we will.

We can't lose respectfully, we aren't playing finals with performances like that happening far too often. Our skill level is deplorable. The minute we have pressure put on us and we have to pick off a semi difficult option, we turn it over and get crucified. And its not the Honeys, the Durdins, the Motlops, the Hollands of the world, its Cripps, Saad, Doc, Weiters, Walsh, George, Cerra, Gov, Young, these are supposedly the cream of the crop. They beat up on crap opponents and go to water when pressure comes. No more excuses, last year it was injuries, we fielded just about our best side...again and got found wanting...again. It just keeps happening. I try and remain positive and composed but you can't anymore.
