Agreed. Give me four quarters of solid effort, win-lose or draw, and i generally keep my whingeing to a minimum.
Our last two games against the poo&piss should have been victories, save for some panic-merchants and ball slaughterers.
However, we have almost bridged the gap, fielding a near reserves side.
I fully expect us to roll them properly in 2017.
So last night, I watched the game in full via youtube.
Was wondering if all the venom on the forum about the umpiring from this game was valid or exaggerated?
Oh, and it was f*cking putrid, especially that pox little cvnt Bannister.
The other cheat was almost as bad, and Ray got a pass-mark at best.
Do the dropping the ball rules not apply to Burgoyne and Gibson?
For all their efforts, the players below did in fact lose us the game:
Nathan Brown, with what 10 seconds to go prior to 3/4-time, shits himself like a frightened child and feeds that ball out of the pack to a waiting Lewis for a gimme goal. Un-f*cking-believable. See the coach go beserk?
That ball needed to be brought to ground and killed, to run down the clock, no ifs-buts or maybes. They could surely see the time remaining?
Marley Williams, 2nd quarter kick across the backline for Whorethorn intercept and goal. Unacceptable. These things started adding up.
And that mongrel woomerbanger he launched in the middle with two minutes to go in the game, straight down a Whoreks players throat, also resulted in a goal to them. He needed to get better purchase on that kick.
And Crocker, who despite playing his best game for the side yet, missed a critical kick off the carpet in the goal square with a fresh-air swing.
On top of his kick at goal prior to half-time hitting the post.
Both were chances to cover himself in glory, and yet I have him in the naughty corner, wearing the dunces cap. Sliding-door moments lost.
And very disappointed with Wills missing a tackle on Hodge which lead to a Whorethorn goal, IIRC. But he tried hard, no doubt.
So it was a combination of all those little errors that tallied up to yet another loss against these umpire favoured turds.
I'm tired of all the hard work executed by the actual competent players in the team, being unravelled by the ineptitude of others.
The question is, will Brown and Williams be retained, and if so, will the coach do anything about these critical flaws in their thinking process?
And if they walk away from the club, will we even care?
I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
And get me Harvey, FFS!
Rant Over. 2016 Over. Good riddance.
