Maynard from the filth. So we can keep him on the bench for five years, hopefully.

From the euphoria of finally winning a flag to where we are now, I feel like the wheels are falling off. We lost four finals in a row....ok it happens. We lost a genuinely liked and talented player in Gus. One of our fwds is still locked up in a dispute. Oliver has been struggling for almost two seasons. Anb wants to leave. Rumors are abound that JV does. And now this. It ain't good. Something is not right.

This season is a total bust . No finals and no chance to destroy cwoods chances.

On reflection, you may be more on the mark than my seven. Missing finals should be taken into consideration.

There's a couple you mentioned that I don't think would harms us, if they left.

Bravo. I'm personally tired of the go watch golf response to these sort of incidents. One can always retort go watch kick boxing. I see a young man going about playing a sport, I presume he loves being deliberately lined up and smashed. What sort of chance did he have to brace or protect himself? Just like poor Gus.....Zippo. And yea a lot of us have a little blood lust in us. Surely that is satiated in fair bumps and shepherds in what is still a very physical game But this sort of thuggery is not right. Imagine if that was your young son out there going about his business. The AFL has a responsibility and duty of care to protect these guys. 7 weeks.

How about...."The poster formerly known as Binman PA."

I'm sure there will be a few here defending Houston ' s knock and objecting to his penalty, rolling out the old chestnut of............ if you don't want physical contest go and watch tennis. It's an effort not to tell them to watch MMA. (they probably do anyway). In any event, this kind of deliberate violence has no place. I'd bet it Triggers players like Gus and a myriad of others. It's just a nasty and very dangerous cheep shot.

Damn Cwood. 12 wins so far. One more than us. We had five games that were determined by a goal or less. We lost four of them. The pies however had 9 games decided by a goal or less Two were a draw. They lost only one of nine. Twenty four points v our four. Other teams above us won their fair share of close ones when we were lost the most. Something we need to fix.

Good to see him back. Tough readjustment last week but turned up today. Well done.

I hope not. I guess with Gus gone. Anb possibly leaving. Tracca injured. Oliver too... The club doesn't seem so tight knit. Hopefully it's still woven deep and we lose nobody. Wins like this certainly help.

I hate to say it but if we won just two of those four games we lost by less than a goal..ie lions....Port...Gws... Carlton.... We would be playing finals again. Throw in some shocking injuries and it explains quite a bit.

Great win by the club against so much criticism. Kozzie well down. No May. No Oliver. No Tracca. Highest score for the year. Go figure. Viney best game of the year. Langers not far off. Please stay Anb. Despite a very slow start, he stormed home. Disco could be our future Coleman.

Highest score for the year. Go Disco

Need to kick more than 112 points. Gee Disco looks the goods.

Winning the centre clearances by 3 to one ain't too shabby.

I haven't exactly in HPs corner PF but I feel he's been showing some good signs of late. Not saying he belongs fwd but at least he's been clicking a few. I feel like Jvr has gone just a tad backwards this season but he's still learning his craft. Kozzie has become inconsistent. Fritta likewise. Even with Milk back this year, our fwd line is still on the nose.

Petty, Petty , Petty ....this ain't no petty little effort today. Keep em goals coming.

Great to see us kick more and handball less, tackle more and mark more than the opposition at half time. And despite less free kicks and i50s, we are in front. Well done Dees.

If we can't beat this propped up, pretend team, then there is seriously as something wrong with us as a club. We will win today.

Largest goal tally for the year already.

Prior to the last round against the Power when he was very good, he played three poor games in a row. Today's he looks off as well.

Fritta, Kozzie and Petty not in any order have rare and unique skills. Have not seen much of the latter's this year though. But it seems to me they're either on or off. Hardly ever do the play simply serviceable games. Scintillating when switched on but seemingly very ordinary when off.

Killing the ccs. Six to one. Good stuff.

Only listening via radio. Checked footywire stats. Anb, Petty and Kozzie have a combined three disposals for the first quarter. Is Fritta playing?...as footy wire has him with zip. What's going on?
