honourable losses

I hate that expression with passion. It makes me sick and it should bloody well make the players sick to their stomachs too. We seem to be specializing in it this year and losing games which are ours for the taking. Should've beaten the cola cheats tonight and we would've had it not been for shit kicking and disposal. Better be a turnaround next year Pies.

It was a very honourable loss. Relaxed about this year as fully expected a development season. We've developed plenty of quality talent and are definitely heading in the right direction. We've been better than the final results show, being 0-5 in games under 10 points. That's easily turned around and there is zero real concern in where we are heading.

Swans had 14 players with 100 games plus to there name. Have to make mistakes to learn from them .

F.cking frustrating! Every week we butcher the ball at goal. And it's often our so called best players who lead the way with this ineptness:

* Pendlebury: two easy misses
* Elliot: two misses
* Blair: 1 miss
* Sidebottom: 3 points
* Fasolo: 4 misses
* Adams: 1 easy miss

It kills us week in week out and combined with the fact their bottom tier players such as:

* Rohan
* B Jack
* Goodes (these days)
* Pyke (f.cking inswinger)

Couldn't bloody miss!!!!!

We are the most honourable team ever it seems!

I expect we'll make mistakes being a young side but when seasoned campaigners are shanking them left right and centre in front of goal then it really makes it hard to find any honour when we lose.

Honourable losses load of total shit. Bad kicking has cost us dearly. And the Captain probably played his worst game. Bring on next year, Go Pies.

As with most sides that just miss finals actions, its all about the 5 to10 point losses. You see the sides that turn that around and have those losses as win that jump up into the finals. Next year with a tad of luck that will be us

Nothing honourable about them, we can call them honourable losses full of lots of dishonorable goal kicking if you like. Tigers, Freo, Hawks, Port and Swans all would of ended up in the win column if Jesse White and the rest of his buddies weren't so dishonorable when it comes to goal kicking!

F this team. F it hard. No idea. Coaches let them grab centre break after centre break after every Coll goal. How about you play man on man and put one or two back to bottle it up after we score s rare goal? No, let them get it out of the centre square EVERY time to goal a quick reply. F you Bucks. Use your brain FFS!!!
