Re: Sharp Axes

May as well give up then

Fear I detected a whiff of that as Melbourne took great joy in bullying us yet again.

It's as if these blokes have no self respect.

That we'll be spared Harmes' feckless mug for a week.

I don't think the club dare blink on a coaching reassessment before June at the earliest, suspect they'll feel obliged to give Bevo at least that much rope under the new operating system.

Scanning the fixture to that point looks prett-y ominous though ...

I think we'll have trouble with the Suns though the venue may aid us.

The Eagles? Positively fascinating. Surely not, again. A statement game and some newfound confidence before ...

The Cats? LOL. Next.

Then Esserdon? Wowee.

Next. Any Lyon-led Saints outfit gives us and our coach specifically, molto trouble.

Then some particularly uppity Dockers over there? I've got a bad feeling about this.

Then the Giants who look positively possessed at the moment and may resoundingly torch us.

Then if the kitchen isn't feeling quite hot enough by then the Swans, the reigning Premiers and the runners up in sharp succession.

Makes for fairly grim reading if we can't locate our big boy pants during that span.

I just hope we aren't reaching for the adult diapers by the end of that stretch.

Re: Sharp Axes

What if all of this is just that we really wanted to beat Melbourne, and Melbourne specifically?

They’re a team of punchable heads that have had our number in the worst way for three years. Their strengths (intercept marks, bull midfield) perfectly overpower our weaknesses (weak mid-fwd connection and tackle-averse mids) and our strengths seem to be totally dysfunctional or irrelevant against them.

i dunno. I hate this but let’s give it a few more weeks against non-prick teams.

Except, this time there have been some changes in the footy department,new assistants, new facilities and I feel the boys believe more. Melbourne are not easy, and we let them off the hook with them scoring easy goals, and us being game time unprepared with lack of match practise in very hot conditions.

After the first 6 rounds, we will learn more.

For the life of me after watching that shitshow I can't believe that's your take.

TBH we have seen sides get smashed early and then go and win the flag or nearly win it.

True.

Have they got smashed in exactly the same way as they've played in the last few years without making any adjustments or change?

Do they continue to start players that just aren't quite good enough while overlooking proven core players?

Did we overhaul the entire joint after an internal and external review, have lush new facilities, preach how fit and ready we'd be? "the most ready team to ever take the park"?
