Shin injury has his leg speed down I reckon.

If we have the same players next year we're likely to win about the same number of games. No real stars. Plodders.

Wow 23 inside 50s for just 3 goals. Our forward line is a joke. Who is our forward coach?

[P-man 13,366]

With Jones and Vince down on output it's exposing a young group that has run out of gas.

We've ridden our luck to some extent playing a team of babies every week. This has been coming.

Yay, this discussion again!

I'm looking forward to the Demonland off season so I can stop reading this garbage.

So you're blaming the supporters ?

Funny , thought it was the players/coaches position to change the fabric of discussion.

Maybe if the gave a damn, we might

It's not the forward line mate. Are you watching the game?

Shameful disgusting pathetic

4 demons around the ball and 1 cat who wins it. FMD

hogan's lack of interest at the contest is appalling.

[Buzzy 992]

I'm not really expecting us to do much better next year.  I reckon 10th or so.

Yes players will be incrementally more experienced, but we don't have the pace or the polish in the right areas.  

Jones and Vince will be another year older.

But the main issue is, we just have too many dumb footballers.  Even if we're super competitive, a simple turnover is going to be right around the corner.  Occasionally it's all going to click i.e the Hawks game, but on the whole we're going to struggle for consistency again.  

Hogan is turning out to be anything but 'the answer' at this stage.

I shudder to think what might happen if Gawn gets injured.

Saints, Pies, Carlton, Essendon, maybe Tigers will all be fighting us for maybe one spot in the 8.  I reckon at least 3 of those sides will be ahead of us next year.

Yes it is. 0 tackles between watts Weeds and Hogan. 

[Lord Travis 10,740]

We're handing Roos his worst loss ever as a coach as a parting gift. I'm ashamed to be part of this club today. Truly embarrassing.

[Skin Deeamond 339]

It's good we lost last week. Otherwise this would be a lot worse!

Yeah again, are you watching the game or just reading stats? Seen what the skills have been like, particularly inside 50?

Yes I have seen the skills inside 50 by our forwards. I also have seen the goal kicking skills of our forwards. I also have seen the lack of pressure by our forwards. But yeah....it isn't our forwards apparenty...

Clearances - 27 to 16

Cont Pos - 96 to 68

Tackles 50 to 37

1 kick so far that has actually been to a forward target.

But yeah, totally the forward line's fault that they are smashing us in the middle and have better skills going inside 50.

Worst gsme I've seen viney play

[Pipefitter 2,163]

Yeah we don't need omeara or Mitchell.

Can't believe the negativity & pessimism ...I'm having my say now & then farewelling this forum to the same few who delight in trotting out the same pathetic platitudes every time this team doesn't live up to their lofty expectations...Gawn played as a lone ruckman all season ...cooked ...Viney..jones & vince carried the brunt of the midfield & are all again cooked & carrying various injuries ...the rest of our extremely young & talented team are quite simply ready for the off season ...thank you paul Roos for a season I thoroughly enjoyed ...I have hope & optimism & these last two games won't define my season or your tenure...I look forward to watching the progress of this exciting & talented young team under Goodwin & even though it will be difficult ...I will temper my expectations accordingly .....but how great is it that we can "now dare to dream "!!
