- Turn it over at every opportunity
- Give away stupid free kicks
- Miss goals dead in front
- Put your team mates under as much pressure as possible
- Hand ball or kick to team mates below their knees
Repeat the above over and over again.
kick over their heads too.
It was like they thought we were wearing our clash jumper today, white jumpers pinpointed all day, by hand and foot...
The first 10-15 mins of the 3/4 we hit teammates with the ball and were much cleaner, then we started fumbling and turning it over again ????

I hate this expression
Agree...they just shifted down a gear and glided home......Cripps, Simpson and Kruezer showed some pride but that was about it IMO.

It could have been much worse
More like should have been......the final score flattered us.
A more un-skilled team in the AFL you will not find.....

I'm a longtime bluebagger and generally optimistic. Today though..... positivity escapes me.
It was one of the most painful games I've watched. Particularly given we've had a bye, Freo haven't, and haven't won away games.
Haven't seen BB presser yet. Can't imagine what he'll say about what was a sub-AFL performance by a club that is wilting, infected by black beetle or white fly, or maybe it's white ants......

I know there are many who think he may have gone one season too many....and his skills aren't what they once were....but Kade Simpson stands among a group of players who would give their all for the team and is a credit to the jumper.

Another skinny kid at pick 19 or another 4 GWS players they are about to delist?
We probably need picks 1 and 2......
ta Lods....for that edit

I admire his effort but having him as our "quarter back" doesn't work. He gets a lot of cheap kicks and the ones that hit the target have usually only traveled 15-20 metres.

That may be true in part...I'm not so sure about the cheap kicks...I saw him earn a few today.
But the fact is the only player who could perform his role better is sitting on the sidelines with a set of headphones on his ears.
