one of the worst performances ive seen.

[The Ethicist]

At least they're filthy

I'm happy with that.

If they beat the Bulls, all is forgiven

Force by 2

[jargan83]

why keep kicking for touch on penalties when we can't win the fukn lineout!!

Probably because our goal kickers couldn't hit the backside of a barn

[brokendown gunfighter]

thought our goal kicking were very good touch finders

[SinBin]

Sam Christie's attemp was worse than Kyles

Sam Christie's attemp was worse than Kyles

In comparison to Kyles 0% success rate for shots on goal?
Rubbish.

[brokendown gunfighter]

Christie was also zero,no?

[Quins]

Took us one and a half years to get our first home win. Now we're handing them out!

[Nic]

Godwin shouldn't be kicking at the moment. he's too streaky. He was off key, even when they played in the trail matches.

[Buddha Handy]

Alcock should start next game he made an impact, hodgo to 6 cottrell to come on after 50.
Wykes and Charles deserve to be benched.
Gotta give Ebersohm a crack just to see if he is up to it, would say the same for CTM but he isn't there

The Force has been re-tweeting 'we're still behind you' tweets today. No acknowledgement of the 'disappointed of Perth' tweets though.

One of the players also tweeted thanks and appreciation to those "sticking behind us".

Got to say I feel a bit affronted by that. This is the seventh season we're in, not the first, so I think we - the paying punters - have every right to be thoroughly disappointed by what we saw last night.

The seaofblue have proved themselves to be far from fair-weather supporters so I regard
comments and re-tweets like those I've seen on Twitter today from the Force camp a bit of a kick in the teeth.

At the very least it's a far cry from those gushy 'mea culpa' letters we all received last year from RugbyWA.

I'm blaming my bad round of golf today on that performance.
They have really pissed me off.
They are going to hate me at work tomorrow I should be ok by Thursday.

The ref made some crappy decisions (that maul was a try) - but that's not why we lost the game.

The Kings played far better than I thought they would, especially in defence - but that's not why we lost the game.

Our kickers were off target - but that's not why we lost the game.

The fatigue of travel and jetlag really set in in the second half - but that's not why we lost the game.

We went wide far too often without go-forward ball - but that's not why we lost the game.

A few players had below par games (I was prepared to give Wykes the benefit of the doubt, but he was shite) - but that's not why we lost the game.

We miss Sharpie and Poey - but that's not why we lost the game.

We lost the game because we did not convert possession into points. We lacked penetration, patience and poise. We lacked ingenuity in attack, even with Kings defenders rushing off the line willy nilly. More skill in attack, a kind if X factor, maybe (dare I say it) different personnel, would have made a difference. The number of times we were in the Red zone, including in the last 10 minutes, but just could not convert.

Now I sound like a broken record, as I have said the same things for the last 7 years.

Okay, let's finish on a positive note - McCalman, Faulkner, Cottrell and McMeniman all had strong games. Other than goalkicking, Godwin did well. Mafi continues to be a menace. Mathewson needs to snipe more.

Another Force loss has ruined my whole week.

The end.

Email the club and tell them! Then it can be read to the team before each match and then they might realise that there are people watching and paying good money to be entertained and if they serve up crap there won't be anyone watching them.

I have, believe me, I've also been emailed, texted and called so many times about my membership I began to think they were worried about people abandoning ship. If they were they were right to be. Still, I made my point.

How many games have we had the greater possession and failed to get points.
We have changed enough personnel for this not to be a club thing so is it a " well I get paid to play" attitude?(gen y)
As for management putting a team out with out a kicker WTF!
I am starting to think that (some) of these players think that all they have to do is turn up! Are they over paid to start with?
I believe that they all should have a basic salary and a win bonus! That will shake them out of playing so pathetically.
I also think that should be the criteria for playing for the Wallabies.

Now that I have had some time to think about it. I need to rethink some things.

I guess I got wrapped up in all the hype. All of the interviews with Coaches and staff were making the right noises it was easy to get excited.

But we forgot that this was a "Full Relaunch", Lets call it what it really is - with a virtual clean out of the coaching staff and the Front Office, not to mention the number of new players. This may as well be 2006 all over again.

The other thing I need to remember is that training is one thing, trial matches are a similar thing but Matches are a completely different kettle of fish.

Its hard to develop a team culture in an environment that is devoid of it.

The Kings didn't have to develop a team culture it was already there. The players went to school in the area, grew up in the area, families are in the area. Its easy to build yourself up for a match when you have mum and dad and 3 grand parents and 8 Uncles and 45 cousins in the crowd.

Our guys are lucky to have a wife/girlfriend/boyfriend in the WAGS section.

So its going to take a little while for this new team of ours to gel, thats OK. I can live with that. I am a Western Force fan.

As a Western Force Fan I know what heartbreak is.

Good things come to those who wait, and the good things will come to us - because we have waited. We are Western Force fans.
