GAME DAY IN PERTH

[Gorgoroth 12,667]

Dappa after 2 horrible kicks from Bruce with his first 2 possessions he has been def one of our best.

[Toad33 57]

For those people who are hoping we dont win (I presume to keep our win rate down) - why the hell shouldnt we win?? If the boys do get over the line, wouldnt it be a HUGE boost to the young fellas in the team?

Winning culture is what we need to start developing with this young side - not "oh well, we got close"

The 'winning culture' can start next year after we clean up in the last uncompromised draft for the next 5 years.

Anyway, most of our 'young side' is sitting in the stands (Garland, Strauss, Cheney, Jetta, McKenzie, Newton, Hughes etc) or playing for their grammar school at the moment.

A 2 goal loss at this point will be sufficient to let the football world know we have a game plan and just need the cattle (read young players sitting on the side lines) to execute it.

Go Dees - Building for the Future (last this year with less than 5 wins please).

Thanks c84...

What's going on with Robbo? I wonder, has the injury taken a few yards off his kicking distance? He can kick those ones from in close, thankyou Cam Bruce AGAIN, but he has struggled to make fifty metres twice.

Am I jumping at shadows? Or was he kicking from further out?

[Gorgoroth 12,667]

Bad turn over from Grimes, first mistake for the game. Cost us a goal, weagles back in front.

[Gorgoroth 12,667]

4 in a row to them, 13 down after being 11 up.

[Jaded No More 67,521]

ARGH!!!!!!!

Stop controlling the game and then giving away easy goals Melbourne... please.

FFS!

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

4 goals in as many minutes... That's going to be remembered as the period that we won Scully + Butcher... :D

[Gorgoroth 12,667]

2 close misses to them, 15 points down.

Next year?? what a load of crock!! You dont muck with a winning culture - you either have it or you dont. You cant flick it on like a bloody light switch - it takes time - we have started this culture this year, must keep going with it.

A 2 goal loss?? You go tell that to the players after they have busted their asses for the past 2 hours!

Btw - the boys have to keep strong here with the eagles kicking on a bit. We must dig deep!!!!

[Gorgoroth 12,667]

We look knackered at the end of that quarter.

[Jaded No More 67,521]

I was ready to praise Grimes again, then he fluffed that kick and cost us a goal... still having a good game though! :D

And Bennell, that boy has class written all over him. He's the second coming of Davey.

Let's hope Rivers and Frawley are good to go against Hawthorn, or that will turn into one ugly game.

[Geddy Lee 582]

2 guys off injured + heaps of running + young legs = spirited loss. Great effort guys, sad we were so cruelled by injury early. We look great when we're up and going.

On another note;

When is Petterd going to stop getting a free ride. Has about the same output as Isaac Weetra. Does nothing week after week, compare him to Maric or Bennel, he just is not natural at finding the footy.

[Gorgoroth 12,667]

Don't we play the doggies next?

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

We look knackered at the end of that quarter.

And who could blame them? PJ has been run into the ground. After holding his own against the best big man in the comp, sounds like he's stuffed now.

Given that we're at Subi, have as many injuries as we do, and are playing as young as we are, with only one ruckman in the side, I'm impressed...

By the way, we're winning the disposals comfortably, and we have nearly twice the tackles... Wow.

[Gorgoroth 12,667]

If we could hit the targets better in the F50 we would be 5 goals up i reckon.

[Jaded No More 67,521]

Don't we play the doggies next?

Yes, which gives them two weeks to rest up and get themselves right.

[PeterJames 46]

Some tired play at the end of that quarter. Not sure we will have the legs in the last.

Bennel looking great. Jones going well and morton and davey should take every kick in!!!

PJ is doing really well in the ruck also martin lurks very well.

Dunn getting smashed by hunter, and again didn't go back hard enough and the eagles player marked.

Have to be close to a record number of disposals for PJ!!! 18 to 3Qtr time

Whats with macca?? Just 7 possies

[Gorgoroth 12,667]

Maric with a great goal after a great pass from Davey. Good work from Moloney at the stopage.

[Gorgoroth 12,667]

Masten goals, 19 down, game over.

Please don't try and tell me we already have a winning culture!! Perhaps you should check out the results section on the AFL website for the games we have played this year just in case.

Can YOU and all your followers put your emotions and instant gratification aside and have a F$%*g look at the BIG PICTURE for a change...and even to Dean Bailey (in last weeks press conference) where he said "we are still building the list". Personally I would prefer to build 'the list' with the BEST possible players not the 'also rans'.

Before you reply with some emotionally driven dribble ask yourself this question.

Would you prefer to finish the season with a win at Subiaco oval or the first TWO picks in the National Draft? ......I know which one will do more for the future of the club... do you?

Go Dees - Building for the Future.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

It has all come down to disposal and decision making today. Too many times we work so hard to win the football and we just turn it over again and again. It's either going forward and missing targets, or kicks coming out of the backline!! Once we eliminate these we will start winning football games on a regular basis. Until then, however, we will always struggle!

We have worked very hard today though, I'm just holding out for the day when it "clicks"!

[PeterJames 46]

bruce another turn over...

How many bad bounces have there been today? terrible from the umps today!!
