Dear god that is one horrible team. That back six would struggle to beat the Sunshine under 12's League.

And I love that Godfrey got a game, but McLean was named as an emergency. What the hell?

Were we tanking, and was this actually the best available team? :wacko:

[45HG 1,539]

11 of the starting 18 not playing this week, only two of those are still on our list.

Mental.

Mclean was emergency because this was when his foot was still broken/mending. He would make his return the week later, to thunderous applause in a gutting loss. Green and Bruce up forward while none of the followers remain. None of the back 6 playing in this game.

Wow.

But it's killing me, what is it we're supposed to notice?

Maybe the whole back six is not playing this time, and five aren't even at the club?

Yeah that's what I thought.

Boy, that's a pretty lacklustre team.

bate on a wing, might be an option this week to try and find some form

Anyone who thinks Daniher did a good job needs one look at that team. It makes me gag thinking we were actually thought to have been contenders at the start of 07.

Daniher was a joke! Even putting his coaching to one side (a whole new topic by the way) his list management skills combined with Cameron have left us in the position we are in. Still we move on - but I'II never forget!

[Einstein 1]

Got flogged that day. 77 points.

13 shots to 1 at quarter time. 42 to 15 in the end.

Macca and Green had 25 touches each. Travis 24. Nathan Carrol had 21, sheesh.

Sylvia had just 6 touches but kicked 3 goals.

And somehow, in a 77 point loss, Travis received 1 Brownlow vote.

How could daniher be soo bad? he took us to a grandfinal

Danners was Good, he just stayed 12 months too long as did the previous Board.

I'm still desperately trying to detect what we're supposed to notice.

I suspect it's to do with our midfield, which has barely changed(apart from Godfrey, the hardest in-and-under midfielder during our years of relative success).

This is worrying, since it seems that in 2 seasons we haven't progressed much in the midfield, which is now considered to be one of our glaring weaknesses.

Our backline is 100% different.

I did note this in my post

Very different this time round with the whole new different backline from last time and also last time with a key forward the great David Neitz, and also on the ball we have godfrey and Johnstone. 12 players who isn`t playing tommorow but who played last time at subi, including 8 players who aren`t even on our list anymore. Oh how times change.
