Just watched the JSOS interview on the CFC website - well said and well done, Jack. Obviously p1ssed off and hurting and wouldn't be drawn into long season stuff - no silver lining fluff. Lost badly and that is all that mattered (to JSOS)... wonder if he'll give a blast to a few of his less committed team mates. JSOSs reaction and comments were 100% authentic. Leadership stuff.

Reminds me of that superb piece of rubbish saying I've heard the club mention - don't get too high or low. In other words don't be authentic, be beige, ignore your real feelings. If you're feeling ecstatic - moderate it, play it down rather (what utter BS) than celebrating and allow the floods of endorphins, serotonin, dopamine and so on to soak through your body and lift your mood and ambition and enjoyment of life/success. Conversely, if you're low or hurting - minimize it, play it down, be inauthentic and untrue to yourself and allow floods of the stress hormone cortisol is party.

Feeling up? Enjoy it, feed it, celebrate it... does the body and mind so much good but know it won't last but look forward to the next time it comes along and remember the hard work needed to create it.
Feeling down/hurt? Acknowledge and validate it, don't ignore or minimize it... understand it then do something about, get help - it won't last.

Players, be authentic with your feeling like JSOS was (inspirational stuff JSOS - real pro, leadership example) - He was authentic and real... we could do with more of that kind of courageous honesty.

There is losing and there is losing. This just made me sick to the stomach.
Voss kept speaking of defence all summer, so were is this defence.
Great move subbing Lord when (yes he was on the ground) Evans stays on, how??? How is this possible

Bottom six

Yes Cooper Lord taken off, very hard to fathom !  ...... when subbed off 14 disposals and 6 tackles!

Not many of our guys sticking their tackles in that last quarter debacle (so Cooper's efforts missed)

Should have taken Evans off, Lord was doing ok and Evans was a passenger all game...

I think we managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but hopefully it’s an early and not too costly wake up call. All the key numbers are in our favour. More :
Shots on goal,
Marks I50
Disposals
I50’s
Free kicks
CP
UCP

Less turnovers etc.

We should be embarrassed, but after 1 game the sky is not falling. The successful clubs like Hawthorn and Geelong are calm, measured and methodical in their decision making. We need to be the same.



Calm, measured, methodological is exactly what we needed from around HT. Despite having considerable experience, including under finals heat, we came up seriously short in those areas. My guess is that lack was on field and in the coaches box. Kind of a double whack effect.

I have a sense that composure and consistency will be our big challenges this year. Of course, the injury issue also plays a role.

We evidently have an easy start to the season. Let's hope the club can work through the related issues and bring intent, perseverance, and team composure v Hawks (no doubt they're feeling very cocky)

Trying to find positives.  We were 41 points up (unfortunately coughed it up stupidly).

Lucas had a decent first game.

Hopefully Haynes playing in front of a big crowd Thursday night for the first time at the G was just a bit over awed by the occasion (that's both negative and positive).

Jsos looked good.  Back and forward.  Better than Kemp.  Perhaps that will allow us to release Kemp somewhere more useful once Charlie returns.

That's all i got.  I can't think of anything else. Oh I suppose we got through unscathed is a positive.

Just had a look at the match stats. We comfortably had the better of them in terms of I50s but couldn’t convert that into a winning margin. We need to create far more pressure inside 50. Our forwards need to step it up for starters.
Reality always wins in the end.

Lord could show the small fwds how to contest, apply pressure, and stick tackles. No idea about other fwd craft but geez keeping it i50 might be a good place to start. Lij type role????
Or is that a spot for Moir??? Like others,  I'm unconvinced by Motlop, Frank,  Fantasia

Worst loss in 30 years according to Riley Beveridge from AFL.com
Watched it again and it's more terrible second time around, the lack of football skills and nous coupled with zero idea about how to deliver the ball forward. So many contesting errors where we handed the ball back to Richmond with stupidity and lack of effort.


I cant bring myself to watch it. I'm moving onto this week and praying for a miracle.

I reckon we should all do that.

We have a really tough month. We'll know pretty much how our season is shaping after the next three games.

Baby steps, week by week, get their (and our confidence back).
I think the whole organisation needs to take a breath, train hard, and turn up ready to rumble with the Hawks (there are rumours of coaches disagreeing fairly angrily in the coaches box).

Fair enough, we can't play any worse as that was rockbottom so there should be some improvement hopefully.

We were 41pts up. No excuse to lose that game, we should’ve monstered and intimidated them from there but no, we stopped and fumbled and missed marks and kicks - inexcusable.

When you continually bomb that fking ball into the forward line, the coach has supposedly told you not to do that because it never works- well why not drag off the person continually doing it! Waste of ball use - the amount of i50’s we had for no reward is inexcusable
