That's the ticket! Declare victory for the next round only hours a sour defeat! 

Gotta love Dees supporters! 

What I can promise is, unlike a recent Demonlander, I won't declare I'm through should we lose. Au contraire, I take a step closer to total delusion.

Pittard has such a weird looking face, very irrelevant I know

Not irrelevant at all. Ugliness needs to be rooted out, not just in football but society as a whole.

Haha! Don't get me wrong RTG, I like it. 

 

I think we should all clear the mind - forget individual performance, teams beaten/conceded to or Coodabeens - and take a look at the ladder. 

If someone showed it to you at Christmas time, how would you feel? 

I'd feel okay; it looks about right (bar the Freo car-crash). 

This isn't hippy s**t, it's perspective. It feels crappy right now, but take a step back and think about how we're not jumping off jetties for Bailey anymore.

We're gonna be alright. Right?

Be the ball?

I think that is the first time Ive ever seen someone do a 30 meter pass out of their 50 when 20 from goal

Geelong giving GC a bath, lets hope they're stuffed come next week...

A little mindfulness could go a long way for many on this forum. 

Or sedatives.

Suns skills are awful!

Don't worry, we're the #1 team in the league for getting out of form teams back into form, we'll get the bath at Metricon.

They've got some key injuries, but their depth is poor at the minute.  No one else stepping up.

Losing your first choice key defenders and coming up against an inform Hogan and Watts will be fun for them.

Think both Essendon and today proved that just because we're playing a team without a backline doesn't guarantee us a win. Yeah, Gold Coast look like garbage but so did the Saints last week.

Richmond are dismal. That's always good.

[SaberFang 7,141]

5 seconds remaining in the third quarter with Port's midfield streaming forward, and Toumpas takes possession running out of the centre. He has a clear opportunity to put boot to ball and slam it so far forward the Tigers can't score before 3QT.

So he handballs backwards instead.

That's his Melbourne training at work :D

But Deledio said they have a list which can win a premiership!

Makes Viney's talk about finals seem pretty conservative, really.

Wow port 21 points up at 3/4 time. This is a team that doesn't contain 2 of its best players in Gray and Wingard. Geez Port please hold on. It would be a massive upset. I thought the tigers would easily win this.

That's true. Just not in the AFL.

If this is what the Richmond seniors are putting up, I'd hate to think what their seconds are doing! 

Maybe Richmond should cut their losses and switch the teams, so they can at least win a couple of VFL games this year. 

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,110]

I think we are on the verge of 9th on the ladder if Geelong win by another goal or 2!

[SaberFang 7,141]

100 point flogging for Gold Coast coming up. Is it just me, or have they been on 39 points for over a quarter now? I'm only going off the score graphic bottom right of the Richmond v Port game, but Gold Coast's score hasn't changed for ages!

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,110]

Correction, we are currently 9th!

Heh.  It'd be ironic if we stayed in 10th after winning two weeks in a row, then finally move up a spot the week we lose.
