The way we have lost however, is something completely different.

The Essendon, Richmond and really the Melbourne losses were completely bereft of effort.

Not good enough.

The irony is that if we do win, 3-3 after 6 rounds is actually not too bad considering the personnel we've had missing and the clubs we've had to play. At the start of the season most of us would have taken that. It's the insipid hidings that we can't cope with. If we must lose, lose with some f***...

Without blind panic.... Byrnes, Clav and Connoly.... Two more weeks pulling those numbers and they need to be tapping on the door. Just on Clarke. He did pretty well really. He was clearly frustrated. He kept trying though. His attitude did come through though with that 50m penalty. And the free bef...

Can we water the ground a bit?

That used to work maybe three out of ten times...

I've struggled accepting these losses.

But there was always a chance we were going to struggle early on.

Man we have seen and lived through worse.

Yeah that could happen.

Question If Marlon Pickett lined up in the ruck against Paul Hunter and Jake Carlisle ... both whom are 200cm and 100kg Why didn’t either of the run and jump straight through him at centre bounce??? The audacity of him lining up in the ruck, should have been met with a knee in the chest!!! Weak as ...

Also helps a little when you dont have everyone ten steps ahead of the ball.

Otherwise known as frontrunning.

Hold the line.

More than a few things are rolling against us atm.

We are better than this.

Take a breath. It's coming.

Yep. We have four spots.

I would take advantage of that and try to get one or two 19 year olds at least.

I'd prefer five to be honest.

It is all down to confidence. Hill is most definitely a confidence player.

Coach is gonna back him. So should we.

Last week I wanted to burn the place to the ground.

In the cold, hard light of day we all need to take a swig from the cup of cement.

The thread title is poor. No two ways about it.

A few things. My first thoughts in the bile fuelled rage after last week's loss was that Hill had to go have a run at Sandy. Get a lazy fourty touches, probably four goals etc etc etc... Now Ratts has made a rod for his own back by categorically stating that he wont drop him. So, from the club point...

Hill needs to be a link player so he needs to be a bit further up the ground. Howard usually goes long but there's no one to kick it to with both recognised ruckman out. Remember when BJ and Dal used to do the kick-outs. They where the days. Yeah this. The freakin ruck situation has hamstrung us li...

Yeah look... It is not out of the question.

We can damn well beat anyone..... If we show up.

I'm an aboriginal man. I haven't hidden this fact nor shouted it from the tree tops. I feel some injustice and have had racism directed at me. I also have had great opportunities others did not because I was an aboriginal ( full scholarship to grammar school, stay with very wealthy and caring famil...

I’m calling it now Don’t think our game stacks up It would be a monumental shift to turn this mess around Yeah its season over I'm afraid. Actually, I'm not afraid. It is season over. Massive issues with the gameplan and list pretty much. Should start a full review right now and get a head start on...

How can we keep accepting this effort? I mean, sure everyone has an off day, but we just have those three out of four weeks. Hill MUST play at Sandringham next week. MUST. Dunstan's career is now over. Last game for the club. Thank you for your service. Hunter surely cannot play again. Thanks for co...

They are f****** horrendous.

No defending this.

Not one player on deck.

Not one.

Defend this rabble and you are dilusional.

Crack in lads.

If they're not right then you cant play em. Not in round five.

We know what we will get from Dunstan. He will crack in.

Hunter can and should break even with Nank.

Yeah I agree. We were winning pretty much every key stat across the ground. The issue was how easily WC were able to get quality looks inside 50 every freaking time they went in. I dont think there was really a key moment that flicked the switch. We were rolling at around the 180 number on the press...

He's pretty much demanded a spot now.

As mentioned above, one of the small forwards has to go out before he does.

His hands are so sharp. He is a rare talent. This is exactly what he did as a junior, instantly translated to AFL level.

Yeah you make a valid point lol

Not if he's been doing this "12k's" bulltish.

Which is absolute spin.....
