The Pies coach suggested there’d be tweaks made across various areas ahead of his side’s next clash against the West Coast Eagles.

Yeah like the “tweaks” you made in the off season. Pay another club to take your best inside mid.

Give away your top draft pick for a bag of hot chips.

Let your best runner on the field move to another club. But as least your kept WHE and Mayne......

Alastair Clarkson nearly every year would change something either Round 3 or 4 because the game is not going the way he thought it would.

That’s just amusing.......

Buckley lamented his side’s inefficiency forward of centre and lack of intensity at the contest.

No ****e Sherlock. Have had 5 years to fix it. And don’t forget the midfield who cannot win the ball from dads army and your million dollar man who just had his arse handed to him by a 35 year old part time player.

We’re pretty disappointed. We got belted up at contested ball, which we pride ourselves on,” Buckley said. “That hasn’t been consistent over the first month of the season, so that’s something we need to look at.

Hey Nathan did you watch a reply of the WB game.

Honestly......delusional....

Buckley said he was disappointed his side got “ground out” of a game for the second week in a row, following the Magpies’ close post-siren loss to Brisbane in Round 3.

Ohhh for the love of ......called horrific coaching Nathan. Go back to eating your peanuts and let the other coaches take control of the team.

There’s enough evidence there now to really query our consistent contested intent, which has not been a question for this group,” he said. “We’ve got to ask ourselves that, that will come up in review.

The best for last.....the only thing that needs a review is when you step aside.

You always say you will do what’s best for the club......stand bye your words.

Leave.............

This has been a really unenjoyable year for me so far. To start with I hate the late Team announcements that mean I cant spend my Thursday night looking at trades like I did before and have to often gamble if rookies will even play.

Premo scoring feels like its a lottery this year with previously consistent premos being unreliable and teams compounding this by not giving us real info on injuries or sickness ( Neale , Cripps, Jelly, Danger, ect) is it too much to want to be able to make a reasonably informed decisions. That's not even mentioning the mid prices we had to take risks on this year providing such high variance that people who lucked out are just so far ahead of the pack compared to normal.

The rookies this year are not only flaky and inconsistent but also have the risk that they are named as a medical sub and ruin the cash they could generate. But at least we get know this vital information well in advanc..... wait no we find out 1 hour before the game because f*ck you.
This is so true.

Last round I had to gamble that Bergman wouldn’t play before the team announcement as I had to decide who of McNeil or Bergman to trade to Jordon before McNeil locked out at Friday 4:20pm.

Luckily traded Bergman and kept McNeil but could’ve easily gone the other way and been filthy about it!

I haven't looked at my progress score. Putting of the frustration until tonight.

I think I have 10 to play today....what could possible go wrong.
I think you should maintain your focus on ending Bucks' career. That's a far more noble pursuit.

...although if you could wait until after ANZAC Day that would be much appreciated.

Wow, Did you just read my mind? I didnt even know i felt that way until you put it into words

Although i feel im one of the only Pies supporters to not care TOO much about Trelour (more so about how it was handled) as his hamstrings are a problem and he WAS asking a bit much?

Feel as though Bucks should've paid more attention to Grundy and the forward line?

But oh well, retrospect can be a painfully annoying thing sometimes

Very concerning that I'm posting here for the second straight week but I really have a few things I just need to say.
Here goes...

1. West Coast Eagles. Put everything about SuperCoach aside, this was an absolutely gut-wrenching loss. An utter choke job. Leading the game by 33 points in the 3rd quarter and then not scoring a single goal until full-time to end up losing by 20 points. Literally none of the experienced players stepped up in terms of leadership and the entire midfield pulled off a disappearing act that Houdini himself would've been proud of :mad:

2. This clown below 🤡🤡🤡

As if the above wasn't enough to completely screw you over in H2H matchups (not to mention the 150k upcoming drop in price), just to top it all off...the guy goes and does this below to earn a week off. He's probably earned himself a one-way ticket out of my team too :mad:

3. The rookies. My bench had more DNPs than weight loss supplements. But the rookies that did play, well they definitely put in a fantastic performance right?

4. Who likes playing spot the difference? :cry:

Ok im back on this Thread

Ok, this might sound like the usual fan rant while watching the game but how hard is it to not be predictable and change your tactics after the first quarter, Buckley im talking to you. You put our best non injured intercept marker in the forward line and left him there even after Eagles started kicking goals. Not only that but Grundy has gone on another holiday. Cant you see that the game is not going our way? Even Pendles is struggling which says a lot. And was it really the best idea to chuck a bunch of rookies who have only played 0-1 matches into one of the toughest matchups of the year? Should've learnt about that mistake from the tigars the other week. Hopefully this 3/4 time break you can bring in some shock tactics to bring home a win, dont really like the sound of 1-4 win/loss ratio.

Now to my SC rant...
Howe, Really!? I put you in at the start, instead of Short and you hurt yourself again? I guess i should blame myself more for taking someone who had just come from a bad injury but can you please take care of yourself??


Ok i feel better now, sorry for all that and sorry to those thay disagree or just dont care.

It's going to feel dirty fielding Kosi over Jordon but I feel that Dunkley is a must for my team this week which is going to leave D6 exposed. Would love to grab Bowes but we can't have them all :cry:
