Garbo

King will be nice but May more important in the here and now, if we get even one flag and may is a big part of that it’s paid for itself and more. Lever no question we have already won that.

At 24 he is only going to get better, scary to think. Has the potential to be the best of a generation.

No one should ever doubt he bleeds red and blue.

Only good thing is is happened tonight and not next week, maybe we got this out of our system, beat port and it’s like this never happened

Need to just walk this one out and start preparing for next week, no point risking anything more on a lost cause. No point dwelling on this anymore cats just were on fire for 10 minutes. Won’t do it again if we play at some point and won’t be at gmhba

Different type of game for dogs, didn’t think they could win in a low scoring contest

The argument to keep Melksham for his ball use into 50 only makes sense if he actually gets it. As it stands he got so little of the ball last week any difference in our efficiency as a team is just psychosomatic

Due to the fact port can pass them on percentage even with a win and not us

I think Brayshaw has adjusted well to his new role this year, it’s not all smooth sailing but I think given more time he will continue to improve in that role. Not every wing need to be run and gun like Langdon, my main knock against him is that he completely shanks a few kicks a game not unlike trac, if he can tidy that up I think a lot of the criticism will go away.

Playing smith is like having frost back, no confidence in the backline now

Backline needs to work out there structure better to many loose players, mids need to lift round the ball, crows getting to many touches, fwd line good work from limited chances

Don’t like to admit it because he is so frustrating but we are a better team with Melksham than without. Not sure where he fits if everyone is fit but think we have to play him now.

Any idea if the wind favours one end

Funny to see everyone ripping out hairs over the last month thinking we will miss top 4 while everyone else will win every game possible to make that an eventuality. It was never going to happen every team drops a few it doesn’t mean we or anyone else is done and can’t win the flag, hope everyone thinks back to this next time

The odds of us losing 2 of 3 is less likely than swans going 3 straight or port 2 from 3. Think of it this way to, if we do loose to wc cats have nothing to play for in round 23, they will have top 2 in the bag mean while we will be potentially playing for top 4. For anyone who is feeling a bit negative go and chuck a few hundred on swans to make top 4 you can currently get 3.20.

Any bet it gets moved to pre finals bye week now along with Essendon and swans

Cursed game 2nd time it’s now been moved, any bet it gets played in the finals bye week

Nice chart, some of those were not obvious to me, maybe some of that says how much some players were playing above there usual as well. Safe to say the our bye form was not sustainable. Now they need to learn how to win with this.

Can’t see how it works, if we play dogs this week who do crows and gc play given they aren’t playing each other again this year. With so few games left I can’t see how it works unless you change the draw completely and have crows gc play

Given we tend to respond most strongly the week following a bad game I’d rather play dogs this week to be honest. Last time we played it was following the Crows 1 point loss this time it’s the Hawks draw.

Not sure why so many people want to write us off after that, if this year had shown anything we bounce back after a bad game and still haven’t lost to a top 8 side, so for all the people saying we can’t win when it matters our record says different. As disappointing as that was I’d still rather be in our shoes than any other side.

Come on down Majak daw

Damm keep him off get him right for finals

Hope so, as even though it’s on there home deck it won’t impact the next weeks game as Darwin would with the heat and humidity and I preemptively booked a trip to coincide with the game months back.

Id be more worried if I was a dogs or cats to be honest both are round 50/50 vs other top 8 sides and already lost to us this year. Top position and a flag are both ours to loose, we have a healthy list and have not lost to any other contender, every other team would kill to be us right now. If we fail to do either we don’t have anyone else to blame but ourselves which is the most scary thing.
