If we lost by more than 20 points I would not agree with you, I reckon we let Cousins do too much.

Players who were not 100% (fitness) right for us did not help either... Too many injuries..

They wanted it badly.

They have the ability to hit targets.

They don't have Jason Blake, Shane Birss, Jayden Attard and Leigh Fisher in their team.

They don't have blokes who skirt the contest.

They run hard. They run very hard.

They run quick and with purpose.

They knew what to do at the stoppages.

They don't have Matthew Clarke in their team.

They have a hard working full-forward.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

Fraser works hard, clearly injured and is yesteryears prototype Full Forward, but still a bit harsh.

Lynch is taller and bigger - didn't seem to impede him from working his arse off at every opportunity.

When did Fraser get injured?

How about our inaccuracy of kicking goals? I thought we were suppose to imrpove on that, but we still suck at accuracy

We lacked class...

Post: # 442085Post WinnersOnly »

They had Cox, Cousins, Priddis who killed us through the middle in the second half...

yeah we actually had 2 more scoring shots.

I really dont want to bag the players on their effort. It just makes me sick that a guy who told the truth and didnt do anything wrong is sitting in the stands while a guy who chooses to break the law (drugs are illegal) is seen as a hero and receives no punishment for bringing the game into disrepute.

thats what makes me sick, double standards

I agree, I'm going to bend over in front of some West Coast fans. :roll:

It's just easier not demanding anything from our club, I guess.

3rd quarter killed us.

We let some b/s decisions rattle us. I bet Raph Clarke & Fergie are still wondering why the umpire called play on and then paid the hottest holding the ball decisions I have ever seen.

Took us far too long to regain our composure.

Their ruckman dominated. Their midfield smashed us. Cousins really cut loose.

Their defence was toopowerful and our forward line looked inept at times. Glass was outstanding

Yet with seconds to go we were 2 points down.

Perspective please.

Free kicks even my foot. Some of the decisions not paid bordered on the ludicrous. Protected species ...

Brave effort to fight it out to the end.

We put in the best effort possible against a team that was clearly overwhelming us as the night wore on.

Our bench was shot. Attard off, X severly restricted, Ball obviously not right.

Pathetic umpiring decisions - advantage joke leading to goal.

Clearly playing a superior side in an increasingly stronger position. Brave to battle to the end.

Sorry if the word brave offends you.

With a name like Lenny Hayes that surprises me.

I just want to know how it was brave? We had them early then stopped it happens week after week.
Tell me the last time we put a side away i have to think back to 04 to remember.

Tonight we showed just why we have been off the mark the past couple of years.

At times we just don't maintain the intensity or concentration needed to be a premiership side. We turn the ball over with reckless kicks from defense, lack accuracy in front of goal and into 50 and sometimes look to be spectating around stoppages.

I have said to mates for the past couple of years if we could maintain concentration at levels like the Swans, the great Brisbane or the Eagles we could border on greatness.

Alas, we lack the fortitude to excel.

Reason 1 - Pathetic Umpiring!
Reason 2 - Blake = Useless...Let Cousins Win Them The Game
Reason 3 - Shocking disposal after half time
