Tuesday, June 10, 2014: Really, really, really vile rubbish...

"Fans are frustrated, players are frustrated, coaches are frustrated" Paul Roos.
"It was the lowest scoring game I can remember since under 9's where there's 18 blokes around the ball" - Paul Seedsman
"It wasn't one that will be on Footy Flashbacks, I wouldn't have thought" - Nathan Buckley

Just a few examples of the many ways in which one can explain a terrible game of football within the confines of their media training. It's lucky we have media training, because otherwise someone might have called a horrifically shite game of football. Perhaps they would have said that it was about as fun as watching Embarrassing Bodies, except there was no plot. It was rubbish, inexcusable rubbish. Two teams trying to play possession football without the talent to execute it. An inexplicable venture to the absolutely depths of boredom and frustrating, an embarrassment to the code. Really, really, vile rubbish.

Well, that's what they might have said... we're not so sure. Despite attending the game, we spent the second half attempting a Sudoku in an abandoned MX we found on the floor. It wasn't great to watch - but still better than what was happening on the ground.
