Ernie will be looking for a new job soon. No way can this shit continue unless Lee is unable to afford removing him.

The season is finishing in exactly the same manner as it started for those first 8 weeks, Totally half assed dysfunctional.
None of those clubs who always finish in and around the top three the likes of the Smurfs and Victory would have allowed the shit show that was us for the first 1/3 of the season. After a great season and plenty to build on both on and off the field Lawrie and co chose to roll the dice and the result is where we are. Management got what they deserve for there lack of planning for Roy's absence but unfortunately the supporters got screwed in the process.
No other club with fair dinkum aspirations to a top 3 or 4 spot would have pissed the first 8 weeks away like this club did.
To be fair though we gonna piss the other 19 away tooQuote:

You plan properly for that almost first third of the season with a total of 24 points up for grabs and say you can snatch 8-12 points on offer and an even better bonus the prospect you jagged those points off clubs we have been chasing and hoping to jump to get in the top 6 and all of a sudden the season and our position on the ladder reflects where our ambition and proper planning based on last season efforts should have been.
Really sorry, but I missed this game.
First one I missed this season.....thank phark.
Haha, love it Dunster.Quote:

We conceded a hat trick of goals to a 31 yr old David ****ing Williams. That is one of the most insulting things that could happen to a football team and I bet we not only deserved it, but won't do anything to fix it.
I agree Frodo
My highlight too. Despite the result we went and had fun singing at the Churchill Pub until the wee hours.Quote:

We were having a similar discussion yesterday. We gambled on getting by in the first 8 rounds (based heavily on getting further in the FFA cup too) but that fell over. Roy returns, and it turns out he isn't the saviour we thought he would be. Jair doesn't deliver and our confidence across the board starts to dimish.Quote:

It's the inability to step up when challenged this year that worries me. Oh, and how shit we've been at finishing. Our style turned into one of trying to hold the ball and break the opposition down from the very successful counter-attacking style.
We looked far better when Joey got on the field. Why is that? He is quick, he is skillfull and he is direct. His injury hurt us more than Roy's suspension which at the time I don't think may would have predicted. The kid needs to start the rest of the year.
Just watched the highlights, lol.
Please Fold The Club Mr Lee and put us out of our misery. Buy us all a jet shaped hat each, fold the club and I'll love you forever.
Was the penalty call bullshit VAR again? It was hard to see at the stadium but it appeared first contact was outside the area. I certainly thought he went down outside the area.
And you know what, I thought we did ok in the first half after the goal. We certainly had our chances.
Listening to Ernie post game, it is the first time he has admitted we aren't making the finals.
Well in boogs. The least we expect is thanking the fansQuote:

He did the same thing in Perth. Say what you want about the guy on the field but at least he gives a shit about the fans that put themselves through their performances every week.Quote:

We resigned Boogaard for next season before a ball had been kicked this year
Boogaard cost us 2.5 goals on Saturday
The pen he needlessly gave away the tap in he spurned from 4 yards and he was involved with the 30 seconds in **** up
Says plenty that in a must win game the manager hooked our captain to chase the game
So our 2 CDs and GK are old guys
That an area we actually need some improvements in and we already locked them in for next year FFS
