i agree. how our talented list (which has made the finals the past three seasons) missed out so badly has me puzzled.

Maybe so, maybe not.

But Rod Buttress said "We've never been closer to a premiership" - I wonder what he meant by that?


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

No. But I dont agree with the topic. We are as good as I think. Middle of the road. Poor bottom half players.

What would he know? Isn't he the bloke with no balls?

We are at least a year away from a premiership and we need to learn to play quarters or we will suffer the same consequences as this year.

I am totally pissed and the players should feel the same way too. Our list is too shallow. Second stringers are generally a division or 2 behind the champions when compared to other clubs. It takes 18 on ground players to make a team not 6 or champions anothe 6 plodders and thye rest being passengers. How often has that happened this year?


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Would you say that the players worked as hard/showed the determination of last year?
(Let alone the previous three years)
