They flogged us in the NAB, so I should hardly be surprised, but even the much maligned Dockers are looking like a pretty good unit.

Good skills in close, hard at it, sustained pressure, etc. You know, all things we might have thought we were going to see at some stage the season but now appears unlikely.

Suban, Mayne, Ballantyne, Hill, Barlow, Ibbotson are a good crop of young players who look like they have improved. Suban in particular looks like he is gooing to a gun for a left footed, hard running Victorian kid. Geez, i hope Blease can play a bit, because i am pretty sure Suban was taken after him and Strauss.

It now only leaves us and the Tigers as the laughing stocks of the AFL.

Right now i do not care what other teams are doing, all our energy should be focused towards the MFC.

They must have a crack against the filth next week.

Michael Barlow's debut is looking pretty good so far. He has had 20 disposals and it's only half time.

Well, we're on the bottom. How worse do you want??!

The negativity around here is emotionally draining.

Freo are not likely to win a flag with the list they currently have, and they won't get a chance to improve that list for a while. So I know where I'd rather be sitting.

We finished on the bottom last season and yet people were expecting miracles over the course of a pre-season. Miracles don't happen in footy.

Sit and wait and stop obsessing and over analysing every move, kick, handball, quarter, game, loss. It's not going to help anyone.

What some people call negativity is really just a spade being called a spade.

All you apologists for mediocrity have your heads buried in the sand.

Harden up!

Yeah 10 picks after Strauss, what the heck does that have to do with anything?

Harden up?

How about harden up and stop bleating after every hard loss..?

We know they will happen; we have been told repeatedly to expect them; we have been warned it will take time and games; so why the proclamations of doom and gloom when what we should reasonably expect actually eventuates..?

There are too many posters keen to pat themselves for doubting Bailey from the start.

Sick self-congratulatory fools.

Exactly right, it is YOU, spirit of Barassi, who needs to harden up, YOU are the one whinging like a kid who just dropped his ice cream. We are the wooden spoon side, we got spanked again by the Hawks. We are a long way back. Some of you seem to revelling in this which is just bizarre

Freo are up 118-61. At the moment we're not last!

Kurt Tippett needs to die. He made us last D:

Fremantle 118

Adelaide 62

Barlow with 151 SuperCoach points, 33 (?) touches. I got him. :D

Look on the bright side folks. It wasn't us sucking that caused us to fall over when we played Freo. They are actually a decent team!

Me to, what a great week of footy.

Also Strauss has played one game of footy...

and its a lot easier playing in a winning team.

Barlow = DT superstar.

Also a handy pick for Fremantle.
