Practically full strength, playing a fellow bottom 5 side and ANZAC gane to boot I'm  so close to giving it up,  every year same as the last.

Ohhh shit.

This is like watching a league team play a reserves team. Talk about miles off. We deadset won’t beat anyone but west coast. Our tackling is laughable. They get a release handball every single time yet we get buried every single time. So much hope and down the tube it goes. Our midfield is non existent. The centre clearances is like it’s 5 on 1. Another long season coming up 
 

Geez, not sure of what happened?
Weren't Perth sitting on about $1.65 for the match and favoured to win? Whereas the opposition were rated at over two dollars. Perth looked out of sorts all over the place. Having 50 Ball disposals per Goal in this match being a poor return. Those sought of figures won't win any games.

Do you honestly believe we're a bottom 5 side?????

Yeah well as it stands last year you were....Maybe you will make it this year..but there are far sterner tests than Swans and my mob to come

At least the colts had a good win. First one since 2020. That’s a good thing isn’t it?

This time last year we would've scrambled in by a goal or 2.

I was thinking I might start the Planning for 2023 thread, but what's the point? More like planning for 2028 as we are going nowhere until we turn over most of this list. And God knows where the replacements come from. 

Outrun, out-tackled and outplayed by a better team. Worst game I've seen Avery play, lazy kicking and undisciplined. May have been underdone. Also worst game I have seen Taylor play. Byrne was blanketed. Hill lacks the body strength to be a key back, and I don't think he has improved in all the time he has been at the club. Cary made some terrible errors. Positves: Ajang, Clarke, Sinclair, Davis were ok. Busher competed well, but 0.5 was a poor return. Ainsworth did what he will always do, ran hard, got possessions, but doesn't do much damage. That's why EP went after Byrne, not Ainsworth, he will rack up touches but not much else. 

As Lathlain Lad pointed out, where to from here? We were missing only Gibba, Stubbs, Mayne, maybe Bennell, and Coniglio from our best 22. I can't fathom why Coniglio was dropped. Surely he's a better player than Chapman Jones? And was there any reason why the coaches quarter time address was literally 30 seconds? Sure, he was just warming the seat, but he didn't have to phone it in. The game wasn't lost at quarter time. 

What an absolutely disgraceful performance that was. You could tell from the first bounce and EP's first goal. They came to play and brought the heat.

Time to ditch the doof doof music in the changerooms before the game. Does any other clubs prepare like that? FMD.

The selectors need to take a good long hard look at themselves. Bringing in 4 players that barely played any minutes in pre season Smith, Cary, McPartland and Avery.

Live streaming might be the go until they convince me that was a one off. I'm not turning up to watch that shit. Skills were fkn deplorable.

That was disgraceful.
1/4 time address: bad boys let's get it back even at half time.
Sorry Army that doesn't cut it.
How about if you're not prepared to run hard than there are seats in the grand stand.
No wonder we won't beat Subi within the next couple of decades.
Time some of the coaches are moved on.
Some of them no less about football than my cat.
And been there too long.
New board.
New football manager.
Decent coach.
This club needs to stand up or fold.
That's my season done and dusted.
Don't expect to win another game.
