To my eyes, Trengoves looked a bit chubby this year.

All year aswell, he should strip some kilos - probably why he has lost his pace.

we have sellar, martin, spencer, garland, rivers, howe, sylvia and yet we have absolutley NO! presence up foward, how is this even possible?

bewick, redden, rockliff,hardwood, golby are just roaming around by themselves

i know they have had injuries etc, but a club like wc, geel, syd would of had strauss, gysberts, morton, watts, tapscott, trengrove, into ALOT more than they are currently outputting, some improving but would be far more advanced at other clubs, frustrating that a mediocre club with no support in brisbane is ripping us apart.

Getting beaten is one thing, but showing nothing is beyond me. No possession chains, no zone, no press, would love to see our KPI board at 3quarter time and see how far behind we are compared to a decent side.

Get straight up Watts, when you lay a tackle, dont be content, get up, chase the ball - lay another tackle.

Its what annoys me about Watts, show some desperation!!

I believe you mean 'annus' but what you said actually works even better.

Nope. That was no spelling mistake ;-)

We have had nothing go our way since February. It's becoming absurd. Can we just give up on this year now? Nothing good will come from getting beaten by below par sides. I vote we just come out and say we are playing our kids and winning isn't even a thought.

It's hard to watch your team get smashed by a team of spuds.

What does that make us?

I see your point, but do you reckon 2 of these guys have much improvement to come? Nicho has some handy tools and his development should continue but I suspect the other two are pretty much at their limits.

You shouldn't forget just how big a spud Jamar was before he became good. Sandilands was a big awkward giraffe until mid to late 20s. Way too soon on Spencer. WAY too soon. Nicho you agree. Magner is a grunt player. Put a good midfield around him and let's see. In the meantime, he is still learning.

What a disgraceful quarter.

Players dropping their heads. Pathetic skills and no accountability.

Brisbane just get that ball to the outside as all our mids get sucked into the ball and contest, and then they just march it down the field with barely a fingernail being layed on them.

Matthews: 'Ben Hudson will be a better recruit than Mitch Clark' Matthews, YFI.

Haha yeah he's not spot on with recruiting, but he does have 4 premierships so I do listen to his coaching insights..

Terrible quarter. Too many players are giving nothing. I really thought these kind of performances were behind us, I thought the last month since the Carlton game had shown that we'd progressed beyond this.

I'm done with Bate and Dunn, Spencer has gone nowhere in 5 years (who's fault is that? I don't know. But he's gone nowhere at all) and Moloney is a waste. Let's take a look at Davis and/or Cook, let's give Morton the rest of the year to show himself, let's give Gysberts a game, maybe Bennell to try his hand for the rest of the year too. No benefit from playing these four spuds.

Bye bye Brent,

Like a headless chook with a sore toe,

You were great till Bailey went,

And now you're way too slow.

Matthews: "It's pretty hard to break lines when you keep kicking it to the boundary line"

I think the game plan is being taken out of context a little bit here though. Unless there is a better option in the corridor a team should always kick down the lines. You get killed on the corridor turn overs these days. Yes, we're getting killed anyway, but I'd much prefer to instil a thoughtful and disciplined set of team rules. We simply don't have any class in the midfield. The most important position on the ground. We need leg speed there and good decision makers with good skills. Blah, blah, blah. We know it all.

He has about ten-but he still gets it wrong.

Also calls Trengove Trengrove. Jesus he's an infuriating spazadonis.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
