1. Loss to Geelong (Should of won - Poor decision by Blake)
2. Draw to Richmond (Should of won - Milne two set shots)
3. Loss to Essendon (We ALWAYS seem to lose to Essendon - did in 09, 10)
4. Bye
5. Won against Lions (Not convincing though)
6. Lost to Adelaide (Only real game we lost)
7. Lost to Carlton (Could of won - unlucky)
The only real loses I see, are against Adelaide and Essendon, and I'm going to ignore Essendon as they have the wood over us every year.
Everyone's written us off far too early, you simply just need to finish in the top 8, and anything can happen

Things we need to improve on.
A. Need to win the center clearances, I'm not sure why we don't, but its a big issue as with the flood it puts great pressure on a team's defense. It seems that we are always under pressure. I haven't seen anyone able to run from the middle and hit up a target.
B. Skills - Monty for example should of kicked those goals. Blokes kicking out on the flood from set marks? Simple dropped marks, Gwilt?
C. Roo - Needs to get his set shots/kicking for goal sorted, I just can't continue to watch/hope/pray he's fixed in week in week out. Just got back to your old days. Gilbert is another one who needs to address kicking for goal.
D. Forwards all running towards the player with the ball, yet leave their opponent out, who ends up with the handball out and off they go. Its really annoying that they are all getting sucked into the ball. Just one player tackle, the other stay out, obviously the opposition is going to try handball it to his teammate.
E. Roo - Another thing is he's always leading under the ball, seems to go for marks where the ball is on top of his head, not out in front. I'm not sure if its him doing that by leading too early, or our players simply just poping it up hoping for a miracle, even when he's double teamed?
In terms of tonights worst players, I thought Raph was ordinary. Dropping that simple chest mark and then Waite winning the ball summed up Raph. Think Ross should of played Peake.
The second one was McQualter, first quarter dropped a simple over head mark in the forward line. There was another clanger, but I can't remember what it was. Oh, the holding the ball, I have no idea why he didn't just give the first option handball.
Positives, I thought Kosi was alright, and in general we were better, seemed like we played on as much as we could from the back line.
