Yep, again, on field leadership just no there.

We won’t make finals. Not good enough, even after 12 years.

Team isn’t good enough.

Just not good enough. So many chances.

From Dan Hannebery’s megabucks deal, to Billings-over-Bontempelli and McCartin-over-Petracca, it makes for grim reading. FFS, can the Billings/Bontempelli choice be killed once and for all? Nobody...I repeat Nobody would have taken Bont at pick 3. Rather than continually bagging the Saints for taki...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m relieved we’ve finally moved on from those “Hickey v Longer” days.

I suspect Christian is seeking brownie points for showing that he really cares about protecting the player's head, knowing full well that his decision is likely to be overturned on appeal, so no harm done. It's a case of what some people call "virtue signalling." When was the last time we...

Certainly bested Hickey. A stellar game from the big man.

It almost felt like the Never Ending Story looking for a quality ruck.

Next stop - that elusive elite mid.

Or, maybe the Lions have also just hit a form slump?

Come on, we were still 20 points up in the final term and we couldn’t stop them kicking the next 5 goals to zip.

It’s a game we should have NEVER lost.

And a bad one at that. First time ever I am barracking for the doggies as I hate Port with a passion. I still do feel a little dirty, but I can live with myself. :wink: Hate Port with a passion, mainly because I’m sick to death of being their bitches. But, they’re two wins ahead of us already, wher...

Imagine if Demons didn't appeal (twice) JVR's suspension.

Agreed. When was the last time we actually won an appeal? 2009?

I’ve had the displeasure of meeting Christian from my TV broadcasting days.

He’s an arrogant, self-servicing arse who thrives on being the centre of attention.

I didn’t think we would have a chance at overrunning the Swans, especially given that disaster against the Hawks, our history against the Seans and Buddy’s milestone. But, when the game was there to be won, our leaders stood up in Crouch, Seb, Sincs, Steele, Hill, Marshall, Wilkie and even Howard. A...

Flood gates have opened.

Sydney’s bitches AGAIN!!!

Same sh*t, different season.

Hill was the only trade we payed overs for. Pick #10 and Acres. Acres on his own probably only worth a 3rd rounder. Hannebery was for pick #39 and an exchange of pick #28 for future pick #28. Ryder and Howard for Pick #18. We effectively traded Jones for Bruce. Crouch was a free agent. Pick 18 was ...

The rot set in when we were in the middle of rebuild 2 when Richo and Lethlean decided to bring in Hannebery. That then created further pressure and they (Lethlean and the board) decided to take short cuts to success with rebuild number 3, and just went crazy with 8-10 ready made players in 2019/20...

Based coaches votes against us it would be… JHF Sicily Daicos Who I’d like: Sam Draper - aggressive big man, can play forward and work well with Roma. Ed Langdon - the perfect wingman/ partner for Wood in RTB game style Zac Bailey - quick, dangerous, skillful, good outside user under utilized in th...

Don't forget the Giants. We scraped over the line against them, the next week a pretty average victory for them down at the Cattery Honestly it doesn't take a genius to see we are out of form, but the incessant whinging about how bad we are is fairly tiresome. 7-4 and fifth at the bye in a year man...

If you compare Port's performance today against the Hawks to our side's effort last week vs Hawks, we are miles away from being a genuine quality side. Against Port at our home ground we looked very ordinary after quarter time, quite disappointing in fact, were woeful against North and pathetic aga...

Perhaps, it’s an attitude that I think has stemmed from over a decade of administration who valued KPIs of AFL compliance and a positive public perception over winning at all costs.

Adelaide were be talk of the town after their apparent big win over a quality opponent. The following week, thrashed by the Dogs and kept to 40 points. Now, Hawthorn were staring at the bright light at the end of the tunnel after their come for on behind last week and now got royally belted by Port....

This is Lyons first year at the helm of a largely B grade group. It was always going to have significant ups and downs. I’m still effing pissed about last weeks disaster, not just because we lost to a team that we should easily be 6 goals better than, but also because we’re repeating the exact same ...

Well, we’ve already let the Pelican and Trout sell us plenty of lemons.

Howard losing one on ones…. Well tickle me pink. He’s a dud and a half. Howard is not definitely not an AFL level fullback. Atm, he’s barely an AFL level defender - period. Problem being, who is there to replace him? We’re stuck with him until we get a quality tall. Someone with a set just needs to...
