No - should have won both and it might still cost us. It's never good to lose. However, most of us would have taken 5/3 at the start of the season.

Will be 6-3 next week. We need to demolish the Swans.

If your mother had a beard she'd probably be your father.

This is a navel gazing thread.

Very true Trev.

I'm still trying to figure out which was the worst loss but I'm stoked the players & Club have moved on.

Who cares right now. We have 9 winnable games to go, we should easily win 6 of them, perhaps 7.

Just keep winning and the ladder will look after itself.

Not like we are getting any home games.

Although....you never know.

I know what you mean but if there are 9 winnable, let's easily win 9 of them.

Can any of you mother f...krs believe, we just beat Adelaide and Port Adelaide, in Adelaide? FFS!!!! Holy Moly, Mo....I need a player that starts with Mo...Mordy Bromberg! Mordy! Can you believe this situation? Unfortunately we have a 'situation' that of course Mordy is only too aware of this year, so...but none the less...I just watched the Ratts interview. I think the Swans beating Hawthorn might actually help us. We will beat Sydney! Yes..Another bogie bites the dust...YES!! Go Saints!


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

My takeaway from the North and Freo games is that we played well enough, with a list gelling together to have them on the ropes - but not well enough to squeeze the game.

The Collingwood game, however, haunts me because we played like 12-year-olds (not that there is anything wrong with that if you are 12).

The last two weeks we have bought our big boy pants!

If we lost to Carlton, The Bulldogs, Richmond, Crows and Port we’d be equal last

Aren’t there enough topics discussing the team and our fortunes for the year?

Trev is from the Bush - they only got to see the 71 Grand Final last year - so of course it is fresh in his mind!

BTW - Trev - did you take your shower in the 3rd?

In one week, week 8 of the silly season, week 3 of the Noosa hub, the week we played Adelaide and Port at Adelaide oval within 6 days of each other, this team just put 2 significant hoodoos to rest.
We won't play Nth or Freo again this year. I'm sure those losses aren't keeping anyone awake at night this week.
