Christ most of us think we have had it tough, that takes the cake. 

Not when you consider the number of losses over the last twelve years Cards13.

I have not been to a win this year attended only losses.

Unexpected omission!? Looks like the coaches are serious about players who don't perform.

Not by me I was saying Garlett out Kennedy in since monday.

And Oxley out for Collingwood. Average player but killed us last QB.

Not to mention Cloke being dropped as well.  He has been putrid but it's still a relief as I had this nightmare of him kicking 6.

Garlett being dropped is 50/50 for me too - on one hand he is such a dangerous player in our forward 50, but on the other hand it sets a good precedent - the moment you don't do the team things and your form drops, you're out.  Good message to send for the long term.

Good to see Jeff Garlett being held accountable for his putrid form.

Ive said it already but last week was probably the worst game Jeffy has ever played...couldnt believev what I was seeing and Im a big fan.  Maybe he's injured or maybe he hates the wet or...?? But either way with another wet game coming up we cant carry him. We will  already be carrying Dawes.

Jeff had 3 major brain fades last week:

-when he misjudged the flight of Dawes' kick and ran under it.

-rather than make it a 2 on 1 contest and help Hogan, Jeff waited to run into an open goal assuming Jesse would win the contest.  He didn't.  Ball went straight down the other end. (Ist qtr I think).

- in the last quarter he had the ball outside our 50.  Only 1 player near him, a few metres behind. A paddock in front of him to an open goal.  He clearly didn't want to bounce it because of the conditions.  Fair enough.  But instead of doing it the hard way and run and bend to touch the ball to ground, he took a wild kick.  It went out on the full.

I wouldn't say any of those plays cost us the game.  But all those were at critical times in the game and they cost us.

Love watching him play so wish he was there on QB but not unhappy the coaches enforcing required behaviours.

Is one of those the Gibson contest? I thought that was the worst, refused to take any body contact.

I'd rather him play. Their forward line has worked much better with him out. Although that's also been with Moore in.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
