Not to mention our backline going missing at critical times.

I still think Hawthorn are OVERrated. They won because 1 man kicked 9 goals - almost half their score. Without it, they would've kicked as per their average - 11 goals and we would've won by 4 goals. Almost a one man band methinks. Add to that, it's not like we gave them much opposition. Against dec...

Not much. I'm getting close to sending my membership card back with a letter saying don't bother sending me the renewal letter for next year.
As i've said - I'm not a fair weather supporter, but there is only so much you can take.

Indeed, not looking good.

Couldn't agree more.

In another post I've specifically targeted Smokey, but I do agree, it's not just him. That was just one thing, in particular, that I saw that left me shaking my head and has led to my bitter disappointment.

Alwyn is quick and has the enthusiasm that I think if the whole team had, we'd be much closer to 6-0 than 3-3. I am in awe of Alwyn, just the way he breaks into a sprint with the ball, leaving the opposition players in his wake. Kinda reminds me of Boris. I just hope his speed and enthusiasm is arou...

I'm gunna be bold here and say, McPhee YOU SUCK! Far too many times Lance "Bloody" Franklin got the ball without any contest from Smokey. And watching the replays during the Adelaide v Filth match tonight, it was even clearer, he didn't even attempt to spoil! At least Fletch punches or tri...

Looks like we are making excuses - sorry guys. The umpiring may have been bad but I would suggest we were let off the hook by Collingwood's innacuracy in front of goal. Lets not use umpires as the excuse. I agree the umpires were a disgrace, but go back a couple of weeks. The free kick tally - ours...

3. Fletch - always stands strong in defence, think he just got tired towards the end.
2. Davey - he's quick, he's got some footy smarts even though he's so young, he'll be a star, watch out!
1. Hird - always does his bit - it's a shame his last ANZAC day match ended in a loss.

Definitely #1.

Why is it this year that we come out firing, looking dead set to win by 10 goals+, yet we can't seem to follow through. What the hell is goin on in the boys' heads? The "don't know how to win" mentality continues. This win 1, lose 1 has to end. We have an awesome side at our best, but we'r...

It's over, go home folks... Was too good to be true to win 2 games in 4 days... Could be on top of the ladder with over a week's break, but now we're stuck in the pack and have to watch ourselves slide down the ladder over the weekend. :( Guess both the Filth and the Scum have the wood over us now. ...

We look tired...that is why we are moving the ball slowly...we can't run to make space. That's to be expected with only a 3 day break. Even playing Friday night would have been a struggle come today. I think the "margin" at half time tells the story. But considering the first 10 minutes o...

Didn't look like anything in it, at least not from the camera angle channel 10 showed. It looked like the filth bloke blocked it. Time will tell I spose.

Onya Johns.. really needed that goal after the siren.

Yep. And manning up is an issue. The Filth are just running too freely.

Also, some of the younger players need to be told to get the ball out instead of hanging onto it and handing the ball to em through a free kick.

Umpiring is a disgrace. Why not call it a game now. Umpires are handing it to em. xxx

Fletcher

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Absolutely awesome stuff. Took me a bit to figure out it was Fletch that kicked it. No-one around me was really sure.

*grin* 61 points. That'll do. Carlton are crap. Sheeds made a bad decision, and Carlton got lucky. Anyone who reckons Carlton are any good is seriously deluded. The rematch later in the year is a must win.
