Let's go back to 2000. In round 13 Carlton flogged us by 98 points. The following week we bounced back to thrash Collingwood by 65 points. We went on to even beat the Eagles by 70 points at SUBIACO in the last round of the season. In our finals encounter with Carlton we got up to win by 9 points. Not a bad turnaround. (About 118 points). Footy has always been a week to week prospect. Let's not get too bogged down in our gloom.

Ah, optimism... that emotion just doesn't feel quite right at the moment

At least in 2000 Carlton were absoloutely flying when we played them midyear, The Hawks were depleted yesterday through suspensions and played a man down the entire game after losing Croad... :angry:

Like The Demons heirachy BM you are in DENIAL

Time to face facts, right @ the minute we are NO GOOD.

Play the kids, turn the list over & pray the quality we require is around @ draft time.

Like the Hawks & Saints model, who where hell bent on recreating Dunstall & Bererton we must draft

the next Buddy Franklin & Roughhead or Riewaldt & Kosi combo avialiable

We have midfielders comming out of our ears lets get the much talked about spine happenning.

and had another 6 or 7 underdone.

or go back a season and a half and take a look at the pies beat geelong by 100+. last year's granny; port are a damn good footy side. 100 point losses are hard to take, but like it or not we do have excuses, and they should be resolved within 3 weeks or so.

Bobby, whilst i am usually an optimist, It's hard to be when they can not even hit a target 20 meters away.

We have no foot skills and a lot of players who do not know where to run to, we always went to the boundary, the hawks always hit the centre.

We still take forever to kick in from a point, we still over crowd our forward line and our manning up is still non existent.

Once we figure out these things I'll believe we won't finish last.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Lions belted the Pies by 96 points last year.
