Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Blues V Port (Inmatch Commentary)
Fingers crossed he gets suspended for 12 weeks.

Watson just handballed directly to a Port player.
His head got in the way

We rely on a Hail Mary kick to kick a goal. Not looking good for our structures.
Couldn't agree more. Every goal we kick is a snap a mongrel a Hail Mary or a running goal from a mid.
Not one goal from a pass to a key forward on the lead.

Mitch Robinson will not be playing for Carlton by the end of the year.
You heard it hear first
I am watching the game with 3 mates. As soon as murph handballed to robbo we all screamed at the same time 'nooooooooo'.
That pretty much sums it up.
Unless he improves drastically If we are a genuine finals side there should not be a place for him.
Same goes for Watson-he has a massive kick and massive head.
That's about all he has.

On a side note. Does anyone actually rate Rohan Connolly? Gee I don't like that guy. Listened to him earlier on SEN and can happily state that I did not miss him. Viney can be a twat too, but is man enough to own up to being wrong when it's time. Red and Black tinted Bomber apologist Connolly is close enough to Luke D'Arcy quality to start checking family genes.
And he speaks with such a smug voice, typical scum.
No one is more disingenuous tha Darcy. Did you watch the per-game crapola last night? Where's Before The Game?
I couldn't believe it when told but its been axed. The one bloody show I looked forward to compared to all the other footy crap on these days and its gone.

And it's not only me its the majority of long time supporters I know.
The afl as a comp is nothing on what it was. Too few good quality games each round as there is simply too many teams for the limited talent pool - too many new rules that are umpired inconsistently- fixture times that only make sense to AFL.
Marking contests are another area that from a spectators perspective are close to impossible to understand as the change what forwards can do and can't do 10 times a match.
On top of this all the Essendon drug circus, vlads total disregard for the anything or anyone other then his own agenda. Over paid players - meat market trading period where fav players are all fair game means there is very little the average supporter has these days that is better then it was say 20 years ago. I used to regularly go to blockbuster games in the early 90s watching ablett senior, Lockett, Carey was so entertaining that many opposition supporters would go along. Wouldn't even consider it these days as they are no real exciting players and no one on one contests that supporters looked forward to. Remember watch SOS v Lockett Carey. Rhys vs dermie, anyone vs ablett senior. Those contests are finished.
AFL was a big part of my life even in our dark days. Sadly these days I watch our game when its on and pretty much switch off until the following weeks game.
Todays game is unfortunately is no longer run for the loyal supporters but for TV right, corporate sponsors and greedy afl executives.
They have ruined forever what was the best game in he world.

Probably sums us up.
We're sh1t

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
Maybe cause I focus on the amount of times he stops a second before possible contact and that sh1ts me so much that I don't notice what he does when he has the ball.
He stopped instead on running straight at the ball in the contest when hocking elbowed him. Happened just before the incident.
If we are serious about becoming a real team either he shows more courage or IMO he's trade bait.
His skills are not good enough to be that soft and get away with it.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: RD 22 : Blues Choke Against Injectors (Anti-Losing Rage)
Yet all game that's right all game he plays defence while we struggle to put goals on the board.
Not enough being said about this.
The team is insipid no doubt but MM is not half the coach he was.
I love his passion and loved watching him go mad every now and then when coaching the pies but his weekly demeanor suggests something is very wrong.
Standing in the box, hitting and throwing things, incorporative press conferences all point to a man who has lost control as its obvious he has no way of getting the success most thought he would. Being such a proud man he is so bloody frustrated he can't hide it. I think he took this gig quietly thinking he inherited a Geelong that with with him giving the odd spray and maybe just his presence he could get us further then our previous coach. WRONG.
So how do we buy ourself out of this one? Buying at the time the best player in the comp failed. Sacking our nutcase FF failed didnt do much. Sacking a past legend and buying the most expensive coach in the afl will ultimately be another fail.
We are in a heap of sh1t. Sorry but being a big player in this years draft is not going to fix this mess. It time to start again. Its not top up time. A heap of pain ahead. Murphy being our captain pretty much sums up what we are about. If he doesn't stand down at years end the club must make the decision for him.
I have been feeling in for the last 18 months so this is no knee jerk one bad loss reaction but I am over the afl and worse I'm over my team.
They both stand for nothing and treat supporters like fools.
Not anymore. Might still watch our game if I have nothing else going on but there will be no membership, no going to games, no watching daily rubbish footy shows-all this is gone for good.
Time to move on.

The club is nothing these days.
