They've been hacked! ;D

Only joking!

I actually hope you're right.
The alternative is a bit concerning

UPDATE: Caleb Marchbank came off the field in the second half with a raised heartbeat. He will undergo testing this evening at hospital but is expected to be OK. The Club will provide further updates when they come to light.#AFLLionsBlues #BoundByBlue

Arrhythmias are not uncommon is low body fat athletes.

I can't recall the cause, but it's something to do with a lack of energy reserves that can cause a particular deficit in a required chemical during heavy exercise. If that is the cause it's not something the health of fitness staff can do anything about in advance, but it can be managed once it's known about.

Watching the match took me back to the thumping in Brisbane that ended the Pagan years. 

I just don't know what to think about the club anymore.  The 'hope' they have sold us members for the past 3 years is getting thinner every week. 

I get we are rock bottom.  We have a bunch of inexperienced draftees, some shop worn retreads and a sprinkling of veterans that are only OK at best.  Two genuine A graders are the only bright spots.  But to get belted by the 17th place team by 10 goals is finding rock bottom and digging further.

The biggest disappointment to me are the experienced players.  The likes of Murphy, Ed Curnow, Thomas, Wright, Kruezer and Rowe, however hard they may be trying seem incapable of organising their team mates, i.e. leading.  These are 10 year league level players.  We were cut up time and time again because we were utterly disorganised, allowing Beams, Zorko and Hodge open space.  We can blame the coaching all we like, but I cannot believe that it is a coaching issue.  It is a lack of discipline and leadership on the field that allows a team to play so poorly as a team. 

Just can't see myself bothering to attend any more games this year.

Unfortunately it could well be that old demon "a losing culture" setting in. If a team cannot produce a win occasionally the toll on the mental state of each player starts to wear them down. Just imagine getting nowhere whatever you may try to do?

This is deliberate Cookie2, we've made deliberate changes that took us in this direction!

BB looked disinterested in the post match presser.

He looked like he has resigned himself to the reality or expected  the result, he showed about as much emotion and passion as the playing list!

I have Atrial Fibrillation
I actually feel more uncomfortable when my heart is in normal rhythm.
But even with medication it does have a considerable effect on exercise tolerance.
...however Marchbank is relatively young so hopefully it can be managed if indeed it does prove to be an ongoing issue.
It may just be virus related...and a short term problem.

i've lost interest in footy.
I was optimistic last year we'd improve, but for what ever reason, the impact of 1 solitary win, does my head in. I find
myself watching other games more so and loathe to watch us play. Its depressing and i've almost forgotten what excitement footy brings, finals, rivalries etc

What disturbs me more is, we are in big trouble in terms of depth, experience across the whole club structure and we reject to apply for an additional 1st round draft pick.
If we're not suitable candidates, i dont know what is. WE need help
