No hard feelings to Hille, but he represents a significant problem for this club - has never really come on as a ruckman and if ever a team was in need of a dominating big man its one with a slow, one dimensional on-ball division.

Would like to see us trade Hille for something a bit more dynamic

Hille is one of few that shows they actually want to play football so for me it would be hard to say let him go

The coach should bring Peter Power to run the fitness department. Interesting he said interval training to get to the pain threshold builds mental toughness.
Look at 83 84 85...

Despite some positives this year, we are about to drop into the bottom four. Very Disappointing finale for Hird and Sheeds.

the best thing we could do now is tank to carlton so they dont get the No 1 pick. Just half joking.

Very much in contention for a finals spot and just throw it away without any interest or effort. Tanking? Higher picks? Maybe thats more valuable than finals experience? Or maybe its just the players (if there are any) giving Sheeds the 1 finger salute and justifying why the board made their decision.

They're running away with it now, with ease. I can't believe I support a club which is so pathetic at times, a lot of the time.

For me the really, really disappointing situation that we find ourselves in is that I reckon our players are trying extremely hard. Unless our tactics are seriousely RS. who would want to coach our team?.

I really miss the days when our goalkickers list read similar to that. Multiple goalkickers with multiple goals to their names and a string of single-goal goalkickers. :(

Tactics are RS and skills...plus fitness and strength.

Reimers has shown a bit.

Pleased to See Lloyd respond after last week's ridiculous effort. Leading from the front a bit more today.

On today's performance, I am really starting to wonder whether we can beat the Blues and Tigers....................

I give up. You'd think, with a very real chance of making the finals, they'd show something. But no.

Pretty disappointing ending to a season which had delivered us some very good and exciting results. Farewell Sheeds & Sir James, thanks for the memories.

Gumby gets his second. Good to see. :)
