What the ??????????
Is this the best from the WEST…………. Don’t THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a disappointment, Why are these players getting $100,000 + per year. They should be at centre link queuing up for the DOLL. I’m sure we have better players in WA then these so called footballers. I should say handballers Kick the F**cknthing. Hey you gain 40- 50 mtrs to a 50/50 comp. The other team has to get it back that 40 – 50mtrs DON”T THEY. Not have 15 positions and the ball is still within 50mtrs of there goals. (yes I am not a player, but I get paid to my job, which these people aren’t). How can somebody be paid so much money for shit like they just did. How can a team kick 25 goals against another team????????? I have been a supporter since the beginning, When players learn to kick the football straight away not wait, they win games. Like a few years ago, dockers won 9 games straight, WHY! they kicked the ball down the middle. Don’t tell me that we are playing new players from high school. Bullshit. These guys have been playing for years and they should be so pumped up, being given the chance to play against the big boys. There should be no stopping them, Yes they will have to rest more, but while playing nobody should catch them. Where and when do we get there hearts pumping. They should be so excided.
Doesn’t every team have new players every year.
Just as well they don’t have me as a coach for I would be telling them that there career is on the line. Perform or lose your job. (That’s what happens in the real world)
I am not going to leave the Dockers, but they had better be in the final 6 this year, or things will change. 16 teams and we can’t even get into the 8. SERIOUSLY
Thanks for reading my whinge, but lets start to perform and make us proud to be a Dockers Supporter
