Yep

I dunno what to say or do. I hate bagging my team so I won't say anything.

If thats the effort of a team trying to make the finals, well, I reckon the wait is going to be longer than we all thought.
No point bagging them, 'cause deep down we all know that there just not that good. But boy, to watch 'em play like that in a crunch game really hurts. 6 goals 15-SHEEEETT

Quite easily the worst performance this season. To lose to that rabble, and only kick six goals in the process, is such a bitter pill to swallow. And i was so pumped up for the game.
Ahhh well, there is next year. And 4 more games. Hopefully we will witness a miracle, but we haven't exactly had much luck recently

You know when you look at it, we have not played a good game since the Melbourne game, ok we may have won some, but really, have any of them been any good since then???

they are all just tired, and i must say, my fathers 1st words as he came too from almost dying were "Buckley will peak too early"
heheh ok so he also said Pauline Hanson was a bitch and Kim Beasley was a prick....but i still hear the Buckley one.

Well,it is bloody gut wrenching. we are the youngest side in the comp. my opinion is a lot of weights and maybe snare a couple of big blokes built like brick shithouses .no more small blokes,hard MEN ,in the same vein as molloy plays i am proud of the boys they have done better than last year so lets look forward to the remainder of this season and next year, chin up

yes, it certainly wasnt the most exciting game i've ever been to. 6 goals in 4 quarters is ridiculous.

They were "gone" during the third quarter of the match against Geelong 4 weeks ago. And they've just got steadily worse ever since.

They all need a long, long rest. And I'm feeling as though I need one too. Might have to start the countdown.

Uno ... due ... tre ... quattro.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !

yeh great post Dan. Couldn't agree with you more. But Alf, it ain't over till it's over. I'm still waiting out on a miracle.

Guys & gals,

When it's mathematically possible to make the 8, we must be positive. I'm sure we will learn from that game and we have nothing to lose. We must take risks and take our chances. Every game is gettable, and I am the forever optimist or I have rocks in my head....But I thinks it's the latter.

I totally agree with Dan and Clemo. During the middle of the year I was expecting a lot from our second half of the year and yes, it was very easy to forget where we finished on the ladder the last couple of years. I was planning which finals we'd be in, how to best get my tickets and what crazy outfits I could wear! Yeah, I definitely got a bit too far ahead of myself!!!

BUT I'm still the eternal optimist and have great pride and faith in our team, coach and Club. We're still headed in the right direction and with some key position pickups over the summer we'll be back to kick plenty of arse next season.

Mind you I'm not giving up on this one just yet. I'll be at our last few games screaming my head off and hopefully screaming our boys onto victory!

GO PIES!

Well I think our best bet is that we have nothing to lose now!
The boys don't need to worry too much about getting it wrong.
Let them go out there and let it rip. Try things, be creative.
Let's see what MM can conjure up.
He make try some of the reserves...maybe Cloke and Baynes etc...give them a taste...see if they can grab their careers by the throat...we need to build strength, power and speed for next year.
