All VFL standard footballers. Some may get there but right now there is a lot of battlers above.

A good team has to carry some players and that’s where role players can shine. Usually it’s only when 3 or 4 of the above get a game.  No team however can carry a dozen fringe players like we are and can expect to compete.

Unfortunately when the heat was on today, GWS looked faster, tougher and hell of a lot more skilful than our mob. 

There cue was well and truly in the rack for the last and I take nothing from that.

Even with all the effort in the world you need some skill across the group and there is so many in that team who have minimal

We are terrible in every part of the ground except the 5m radius in which Gawn is standing.

Four quarter performance would have been nice

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,775]

Oliver emerged standing over a GWS player after Billy Stretch goal

GWS remonstrated and Toby Green punched Oliver to face - looked worthy of 1 week 

Oliver may be in trouble also

Tell us what is really going on Goodwin...

from 2008 to 2014 my general rule of thumb was 'opposition doesn't crack 100 points that's sorta kinda a little bit almost but not quite a win, right?'

that's almost a win today

tally ho dees!

[Deestroy All 14,266]

I prefer the Brendan Bolton school of thought, if you only count the last quarter we won that game easily. 

[chook fowler 19,459]

Wonder if Goodwin is feeling faint again

[DSP 1,488]

Scoreline completely flattered us due to last 15 mins when Giants had put the cue in the rack.

Up there with some of the worst quarters ive seen for a long time.

Skill errors aside (which single handily cost us 9 goals) - the complete lack of confidence/trust etc is mind boggling. What teh hell has happened to this team from last year?

Something isnt right.

From a Prelim  to the worst team in the comp. From the highest scoring team to the lowest.  All in one preseason.

A pathetic club.

Rock bottom. Very poor games from: TMac, Jones, Viney, OMac, Fritsch, Spargo, Lockhardt, Oliver, Harmes. Where the hell was Preuss, for starters. Why does our team play 'bombs' when there is so much space to target going forward? Wasted year, wasted game, wasted membership, wasted coaching efforts. 

[Jaded No More 68,916]

They had 2 on the bench in the last. 

Kicking 7 goals in a dead quarter doesn’t change the result and if Goodwin uses it as a positive he is treating us all like fools. 

[DemonOX 8,791]

We are hopeless. 

I take nothing out of the last quarter especially when gws were already on the plane home. 

When the heat was on our cupboard was bare.

Sadly they play the kind of football that I dream about my team playing. Too good all over the ground and their skill makes us look like a vfl team

At least I can understand this post.

Can someone please confirm that we didn't trade our first round pick this year?

Dear Mr. Goodwin, what are you doing?

Fair dinkum -- if he comes out and says what a great last half / quarter etc we had, showed signs etc then I may well return my membership and not renew it until we get a coach with balls.

"our brand" blah blah blah  .... unfortunately our brand is weak uncontested footy with not even the flair we occasionally showed last year to make up for abysmal inability to convert I 50s.

We've all heard about "coach killing" games... well we just saw a "fan killing" game.

There was not one positive from that game

We didn’t and we also can’t as we have traded the last two and that’s the limit set by the AFL. We have to use our first round pick... on a slow unskilled inside mid. Thems the rules.

Job is on the line. I don’t care about a 4 year contract. 

A Coach has to be able to do the job...
