Season gone. Another promising start to the season destroyed
Maybe I'm not as in the dumps because I only watched one half and totally expected to lose today.

Season definitely not over but f**k we need to get some players back soon and get our top players really firing.

I just also can't help but think back to Mitch Barnett getting sent off. It's a weak excuse, but by god we have not recovered from it.

This is also a reality check for the team, AOB, and some fans. When you get in a low quality, tussle, with a bottom 4 team and can't win - that's your level. We are 12th to 16th placed team.

Can anyone tell me what the actual f**k the point of Phoenix Crossland is? Offers f**king nothing other than a Mitchell Pearce like kicking game.

Ahhh f**k it. Here's some positives...

- Ponga was good today. Best game in ages.
- Gags with the ball in hand.
- Klem is playing his best footy.
- Friz also playing well.
- Best with space.
- Simi needs more gametime. Why are we holding this kid back with the plodders in front of him?

The negatives are... far too numerous to list...

as i said, i stilo cant genuinely work out what he's good at. He offers zero threat as a ball runner, kicking game is below average, he's built like pencil and his passing game is average at best.

Predicting AOBs excuses

they tried hard
Any team will struggle loosing their halfback before kickoff
Break between games too long
Too many injuries
Dragons were just too good today
In AOB's conference yesterday it sounded like the team had a long preparation in which Clune trained all week with them but was potentially not going to play. IF that is true, AOB should have had Crossland or Hoy train all week. Now he'll probably say we had to throw Crossland in the halves at the very last second and that's why we lost - despite 10 days preparation, oh and the whole off-season to sign another halfback.

I remember the night he made his debut off the bench, played 13 minutes, did absolutely f**k all, yet everyone on social media sucked his dick so hard there weren't any bones left in his body

I JUST DONT GET IT??!!??!!

tbh social media is like the football equivalent of North Korean state media where only high praise is allowed and no criticism is tolerated
