This club has heartbroken us pretty badly this year. Don't care what supporters do it's their right to voice their discontent in any manner they wish. They went to the game and their hearts broken into pieces... they will support the club no matter what but what is the club doing for them? What they need to do is refund money to members that have attended games this year.
You do realise it’s a game a sport a recreation a pastime to say that the club owes you a refund is ridiculous. Don’t buy a ticket if you don’t want to lose because every match is 50/50
The abuse was embarrassing to hear. As bad as the team is going the sort of vitriol hurled at them by these apparent “supporters “ was not on. A few dickheads have shamed us all as it was presented that they represented the fan base. While I wish they were travelling a lot better the hysterical swearing abuse doesn’t help but these guys yelling where typical heroes from 30 feet away but I’m sure gutless fan boys up close
I think a good tactic for all this criticism might be for the coaches and Cripps especially to turn all this into US versus Them attitude. Backs to the wall type stuff everyone’s against us but we’ll show em etc. Don’t know if that works anymore but I know Cripps will have a photo of that uninformed bitch Wilson on his locker!
Our poor kicking is definitely a problem as we haven’t been able to put scoreboard pressure on all year. It also seems obvious that the spark has gone out . Maybe the club isn’t a place of mateship or fun to be at and the grind has set in. Only has to be gone 5% and we will fall away quickly. I don’t know but if the guys who came through the tough years see a bloke who went through that with them, wanted to stay with them and honour his contract trying his guts out each week in the reserves getting 40 possessions but not even being given a sniff when injuries arise. Maybe they see the way he is unfairly treated by the coaching staff and and a little bit of resentment kicks in enough to take the edge of the all for one in it together attitude. Doesn’t take long for to drop off enough for small losses not intentionally just mentally. Same thing with Silvagni being thrown to the wolves in the ruck and stuffing up his forward game. He gives his heart and soul to the club but his game is being slowly stuffed by rucking. Looking forward to lots of forced changes this week might be just what we need some fresh faces who have been given a chance with nothing to lose
Cunningham? Hasn’t played football in what two years and even before that would flash in for 5 mins then be gone for the rest of the game. Was recruited as Jack Silvagni’s mate and was given plenty of chances. I feel sorry for his injuries no kid deserves his run but to say you would pick him in the ones when he’s not even in the two’s am I missing something? Who next Philp?
It was like they showed us for 5 mins what they could do just to tempt and tease us…… Then no your 23 year cycle of sub par mediocrity is to continue and after another brief taste of what it’s like to have that love of club and football it’s gone and life goes back to a grind of not wanting people to ask who you barrack for as your almost embarrassed. Back to copping crap at work, not wanting to read the paper or watch the sports report. Worse of all watching your grandkids in another clubs jumper when you are a third generation Blues supporter Passion for the fight has gone it seems from the players and me
I think we spent the off season training how to defend a lead we forgot how to get a lead first! Abysmal half its scary to think we are still in the game!
Would love a couple of Mitch Robinson types right now! Not pretty maybe some ordinary disposals but no individual contest is ever over. We don’t have anyone at all like that.
Didn’t think Brisbane were that great we just kept giving the ball to them with the worst display of disposals I’ve seen from us for a while. From the opening minutes you could tell we were off and were flattered by the first quarter scores. I think part of the problem is our best last year and occasionally this year is good enough but very fragile. To many passengers to be a contender. If Cripps Weitering or Charlie are off the boil no one lifts to cover them. I like guys such as hollands Cowan and cincotta getting a game but they can’t yet get us home when the chips are down yet but have shown they have heart. But last night off the half back line when we got possession our players looked up with no one other than Harry making position with Andrews up his freckle ready to punch it away. No small forwards attacking at the feet or giving options. Motlop was the best of them but even though he plays like he’s a bit scared to attack it at times I still think he will find his way. Our air of fun and confidence in each other faded last night getting it back might be harder than we think
