[The Fireman]

Worst game of the year

[Saint2]

Lyon outsmarted by a first time coach

[bobmurray]

Game Over thank f**k for that.

Final Score.
GC 11-11-77 v the Aints 8-3-51

[Otiman]

Gold Coast more likely to make finals than us from here.

[TheGreatZacsby]

YAY WE WON A QUARTER OF FOOTY

100%

[Otiman]

Worst game of the year

Worse than Adelaide, Hawthorn? I don't think so.

[B.M]

Pathetic

On every front

22 - 11 scoring shots

[B.M]

Explain to me

How are we better than last season?

Because we were 5th at one stage??

We will finish 12/13th with about 11 wins


Some players were horrendous

[shrodes]

Truly deplorable stat:

I don't think its possible for this team to be embarrassed.
Also didn't think it would be possible to have a worse start than v Eagles, but this group have managed to lower the already low bar.
Thank goodness we are well coached.
Gresham can leave now.
The rest should introduce each other and touch a footy to get the feel.
Unless Suns implode (unlikely) 60 plus point pantsing coming.

We will win this game

I'm a f****** Idiot

Hmmmm? deja vu? Same s***, different year, different coach. Bloody awful stuff to watch.

[TheGreatZacsby]

Truly deplorable stat:

I’m low key hoping Harvey gets the job at Suns. We get King from Suns as our forward coach and actually have a plan going forward.

[Annoyedsaint]

11 scoring shots against a side that was 14th lol

Well….welcome to the bottom 4 for the next 10 years.
Deserve to be kicked out of the comp (and would be if the AFL didn’t prop them up since they can’t get their affairs in order).

[thejiggingsaint]

Looks as if RTB isn't the "messiah" after all? (asking for a friend)

[cwrcyn]

Fumbles fumbles fumbles, missed handballs, dumb kicks, outclassed and outworked at stoppages, dropped marks, no cohesion. An overall lack of class.

The only positive from here is that our younger guys continue to get game time.

Every week since round 5 our midfield has been beaten. In some quarters they barely touch the ball. It's a pretty big elephant, and we're getting horribly exposed

Yep

Part 2

Thread suggestions for New Topics

The players will be paid their full weekly wages and so will Ross Lyon...but everyone is really hurting

Rowan is one of my favourite players, but Ross and Lenny are setting up the team for these sorts of losses if they think we can go for a full season with only 1 recognised ruck. Especially against the monsters like Witts

Great strategy leaving out Hunter Clark from the starting lineup even though he's one of our most effective clearance players.

Brad Crouch and Jack Steele have been ordinary at their main role and have been beaten at centre clearance...but I'll bet my balls they both line up in the middle for the most centre bounces again next week.

Clearances lost 40-27
Stoppage clearances we were smashed 30-19

You sound annoyed

[Teflon]

You'e all blaming the coach...
No game plan can survive our skill level!

Thank you
Thank **** the club know this
I’ve said a thousand times
Waste of time playing finals with this lot
Drop out
Hit the draft
Fortunately the axe will come and that midfield better get an overhaul
I’ll go spare if we spend all on TDK and leave that midfield rabble in place

[Ghost Like]

BONUS was watching young Peris debut. Didn't disgrace himself, in fact he played better and tried harder than some more fancied team mates.

[cwrcyn]

Lost clearances 40 to 27.

Earned a bit of cred IMO

I thought you were one of these stick fat type supporters?
Glass half full type??
18 games in….Lyon hasn’t fixed 10 years of Richo, Ratten Shiite so he’s no good??
Good to have you in the trenches
