As a 150 Gamer you would say he had a Solid Game but as a Kid who has not even played 10 Games it was Very Promising

| What eased the sting of the loss today was seeing the enthusiasm,drive and energy of the young brigade - Ginnivan, Macrae, Henry and Ruscoe (while quite a few older players looked like they were running through treacle, especially in the first half). |

It will be interesting to watch Clarko mould us and make us an unsociable team as well.

We need to be patient with these youngsters, something Nicksters are not very good at doing. I worry that our expectations of Nick Daicos having instant success is fraught with the danger of being unrealistic. We need to give him and the others time to develop into mature players contributing consistently. Let’s not talk times for the next flag, let’s talk times for us to establish the next team ready to compete for one. I think around 2025-27.

You seem to be certain that we have secured the services of Clarko but I would prefer to see the evidence before believing it. I have had bad form believing stuff like John Kennedy as coach and players like Locket, Quinlan, Roos, Cameron, Lynch etc to Collingwood😥😓

Trade the bloody lot of them I say! We are a disgrace. No point keeping the current list, Coach, or the Board. Let’s draw a line in the sand and advise the AFL we do not wish to continue this season and will regroup once we have our AGM and Christmas drinks. Pre season training should start a day after the GF for us . We have not earned any holidays. Useless lot. Fancy being down near the bottom of the ladder. What a bloody disgrace.

That's exactly what a Hawk guy I know accused him of (sore winner!)
He also pointed out, which I haven't checked but have no reason to doubt, that 6 of our first 7 goals came from free kicks (Macrae the exception)
I told him that's what they get for playing 'unsociable football'

On the bright side I was pleased with Ginnevan, McCreery, Macrae and Henry, despite him missing a few marks he should have taken.
Let's hope our players don't lose focus or fall in a heap for these last 2 games. |
There's a bye next weekend - so, we can't lose. |
