Jesus, sleeping on our own line pathetic

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Iol... pathetic. Comical. Total laughing stock

f**k this team

 

[mozza91]

Elliot has been absolute garbage. At least he fits in.

 

[Haffa]

AOB has a few excuses so he’s good.

 

[slotmachine]

Elliott one of our "good new players"

Elliott one of our "good new players"

He's had a shocker. Been a perfect stand-in for Barney tbh. Brain snaps, crucial mistakes, pretend tough guy.

If we don’t do the dumb shit, we win that game and pretty easily.

We look like a better team with Miller and Ponga on the field together. The spine is super clunky but you can see when they get up to speed they can really hum.

We really need to get better in defence. The Warriors defended really well. We need that kind of spirit.

New season, same old shit.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Ponga is literally made of glass isn't he? God, I knew his re-signing was another 5 year sentence for the club. It doesn't matter if he's our most talented player if he's never on the field and rarely at his best. Our cap is crippled. What a mess.

Barney has a motor, Elliott was walking after 5 minutes.

Yeah he's probably underdone but the fact we had to play him is telling

AOBs press conference...

1. Friz going off didn't help
2. Kalyn HIA
3. "There was some stuff I liked/was good"

What am I missing?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

So.. Where do we go from here?.

 

[aqua_duck]

This is good for us long term, last thing we need are flukey but ultimately meaningless wins that do nothing more than cover up the mess we're actually in.

His physical attributes had nothing to do with why he's off the field. He stayed down because he copped head contact and paid the price.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

New season, same old shit.

I'm gonna say worse, somehow

 

[Tom155]

Unsurprisingly nothing has changed at all

Barnett is about 5 times the player Elliot has looked like tonight.

 

[PhilGould]

Elliott looks badly underdone, same with Hetherington to start but thought he looked alright in the second half.

Miller looks a lot like a 3rd string fullback. Good fantasy stats though so I guess he played well.

So.. Where do we go from here?.

Another poor season, this was with everyone available except croker and gags. Just going to get worse with injuries
