Re: Game Day - R4 Adelaide V Western Bulldogs

Disgracefull, horrible and not acceptable. I refuse to go next week and watch us get humiliated again, twice as bad.

Feeling next week could be a rout

Not looking forward to next week. The way we are playing Geelong will pounce us.

I thought Dahl would have been in his element today. 6 possessions.

Griff comng off with the trainers. His shoulder or sternum looks in trouble. Maybe delayed onset from the crunch he got from Rutten.

I'm willing to bet he sub luxed his sc joint. Yeah I know that sounds pretentious but it's the easiest way to say it.

Wonder what excuses will be trotted out for the insipid, pathetic display today.

Re: Game Day - R4 Adelaide V Western Bulldogs

So you're putting McCartney in the same boat as Rhode. Really?

McCartney has more in common with Royce Hart in a coaching sense than Rhode I reckon. Long stretches of consecutive losses, little improvement in performance, the same mistakes being made over and over again, the same excuses being trotted out, etc, etc.

If we played Melbourne right now at the MCG it would be 50/50. At Etihad I think we would still go in favourites.

What does that mean for next week?

Re: Game Day - R4 Adelaide V Western Bulldogs

So now Melbourne have won their first game, we will be the ones under the microscope by the football world. Poor performance bar a couple. Not looking forward to my North & Dees supporting housemates to come home

Re: Game Day - R4 Adelaide V Western Bulldogs

We are fast becoming a team of grafting triers, who as a team don't even always try.
Look at the disposal efficiency of ours and Adelaides midfield. Our midfield leaders Boyd and Grif, going at 13% and 39% efficiency respectively. Cooney & Stevens going at 60% are our best. Libba and Wallis at about 50%.

Adelaide have Douglas going at 78%, Crouch 78% & Thompson and Dangerfield at 60% and Sloane at 50%.

I tell you who shares your view - Dan Lonergan from the ABC commentary team. He has been a fierce critic of BMac almost from day one.

The footage in the room had him grabbing at the centre of his chest.

Re: Game Day - R4 Adelaide V Western Bulldogs

McCartney has been out coached today. Forward set-up has been horrible for the entire game as he seems to only have one or two players there when the all comes in and we are outnumbered, resulting in the ball rebounding immediately. Players should have been told to kick the ball long in the first half, but they persevered will silly short kicks and handballs.

If these issues had been addressed, the game may not have got away.

Maybe we need a game day coach while Macca is the people and skills teacher.

The thing I'm worried about the lack of any system or plan.
