Mooney & The Kolonel Having A Bat For Kent
This is like some kind of flashback to the late 90’s. After the last two season we have had, I didn’t think I’d experience this kind if disappointment from the Cats for a few years at least. Having all but conceded our season after 9 rounds is a new record for the Kolonel. It really is quite tragic.
It was the first time in a few weeks I had the pleasure of sitting in my usual Brownlow Stand seat, and I had forgotten why those silly old buggers annoy the hell outta me so much. If I had a nickel for every time they said something stupid I would have Liberia’s trade deficit sitting in my skyrocket.
Example:
*Steve Johnson gets the ball*
Oh, look it’s David Johnson
No, he is the other one isn’t he?
No, Steve is the bald one
I mean come on people. You play bingo all week surely it isn’t too hard to find some time away from knitting to have a quick browse over the footy record to learn the players numbers.
The Kinglsey hatred continues to rise, much to the Kolonels dismay. Luckily the security guard noticed my candlestick tucked under my jacket before blood could be spilt.
Let me say, it was no surprise that when our power forward was on song early, the Cats lead at ¼ time. He’s outta form but dearly important to our structure, whether you think he sucks like Chris Dwyer or not (That’s right Dwyer, I haven’t forgotten you, you washed up poofter)
The crowd around me was getting stuck into Kent whatever he did.
Example:
*Kent marks out wide 50m from goal, passes in board to Chappy*
‘Yeah that’s right, shirk the responsibility’
What idiots. No-one can kick them from out there, and when he does have a shot and misses, they are going to yell at him for not passing it aren’t they. GAAAAHHHH!
I have had enough, and so has Cameron Mooney. Cam and Kent were walking the boundary doing some warm downs when someone from behind me gave Kent some cheek. Kent laughed it off, prolly because he is used to it. But not Big Cam.
‘Shut the fuck up you idiot before I come up there and fucking thump you’
Needless to say they shuttup immediately. Shame Cam and Co. didn’t show as much heart on the ground. The fowl stench of crap then wafted from behind me for the rest of the game, I am not sure if this is because what Cam said scared the shit out of them, or whether they are all incontinent. I mean they are all old codgers.
I think our current predicament leaves us with only one viable alternative….
TANK!!!!!!
Top 5 draft pick, Hawkins… fit squad next season…
Watch us rise!!!!

When does the five year plan start?

I think the easiest thing to do is win the flag, then count back 5 years!

watch us rise???
Im dissapointed in you Kolonel.
Is this like a Richmond 5 year plan... They have had one going for over 15 years now..
Like I've said, this is the same team that almost beat Sydney last september. Not good enough.

Mooney was an angry man out on the field also, he was about to explode any second, I do think he is about 1 or 2 weeks away from getting a big suspension unless we start to win !!

How low can we go? I feel like I'm watching a slow motion train wreck with the train disintegrating and derailing simultaneously.
How can we smash West Coast off the park for more than a half AND THEN GO BACK INTO OUR SHELLS? ARE WE AFRAID TO PLAY THE GAME OUT? ARE WE AFRAID TO WIN?
From the moment it started (about the time Tom left the field), I watched horrified with a hand over one eye. Against the HATED enemy, of all sides?
Was the first half the game plan? Did the game plan change? If so, why? Who didn't keep to the game plan?
It's name names time!
Josh Hunt - U are the best field kick in the game; just do more of it. BUT your decision-making can be poor, which may expain why you hardly even try for long targets anymore. STOP kicking it SAFE and short!
[If you get another game, take the first long option AND BACK YOUR TEAMMATE TO GET THE BALL. This is the key to successful football. It is about winning the contest for the football. It is NOT about possessing the football and doing all things possible to not have a contest for the football at all.
We must evaluate players who do not want to play contested football or who do not win enough contested football AND REPLACE THEM with others who are willing to play this way.
We are now playing CRAP football of a style which is not ever going to cut it against the better skilled sides. WC are over-rated but they are at least up there.
We don't seem to understand the effect this stop-start sideways game has on our forward structure. Kent might do lots of things wrong, or lack some key forward attrihutes (like marking overhead, or one-out wrestling) but he is one of the quickest 30-metre players in the game. We have been slaughtering him.
Nathan Ablett may be getting there, he still has a lot of development in him but that is often the case with young talls?
GET BACK Brent Moloney NOW! He's tough, carries the ball, kicks long to targets, follows up and is wasted at Melbourne. SWAP 5 pillow-biters for him if we have to. Any 5!
Where are our on-field leaders? There seem to be no leaders stepping forward once we go looking for the shell.
