because we are not consitant enough. We can play well for 2-4 weeks like we are top 4 Chance then play 2-3 chance, Then play 2-3 week like a bottom 4 Team.

We need to play better more often if we want to make Top 4

Yeah I reckon he's just looking for some reassurance Smile

Horor run ahead for the Swans who are, at worst a game and a half clear if they beat the blosers. 24 hours ago, they were on the slide. Dunno how they've turned that around without playing a game, but there you go....

As for us? Well we've got a horror run too, considering our form against bottom eight teams Wink

Grr.... Spewin we lost tonight. That's 2-0 against each of those smug executive f***s that sold out on us this last 18 months.

For me, I take solace in the fact that they will probably sell out their new clubs the first opportunity they get. Telling their supporters that tends to shut them up too.

Consistency is an issue for us at the moment. We only laid 44 tackles tonight. We made an atrocious number of clangers.

But we're rebuilding. We're young. We'll improve.

Agreed - Hine needs to do work on our very Average Midfield because when they are not putting pressure then we get flooged

when I did the run home calculations and whats needed to get to top 4, i factored in a loss to the roos today

In fact everything is panning out exactly as I predicted so far:

Dave, i think you'll find that frontrunners play well against bad sides, not against good sides. I don't know if there's a word to describe our tendancy to win what we should lose and lose what we should win.

Here's my 2 cents FWIW....

Point 1. Agree with the OP, we are not a top 4 side, never were IMHO,

Point 2. The Colliwobbles are back &

Point 3. Thank goodness I will be in Athens getting sticky & sweet with Madonna come September because frankly after tonights dismal performance I wouldn't waste my money nor my time watching kaka!

It's still possible, but it doesn't really look like we deserve it.

5th spot might be a fair reflection on our year.
