I still find it slightly comical that Chip has come out saying that the constant speculation is annoying him, yet he was the one who put off those contract talks and brought the speculation down on himself. Not too bright is our James.

I'd be surprised if the Lions didn't go tall if someone like Wright is still on the board.

I'm not the one who brought it up.

I think you'll find I've been far from negative about the game. I just don't have time for childish posters who pull the "I told you so" stuff.

Last part is the key for me. Others have been given blocks of games to show their worth, both Blease and Tappy deserve the same.

Yep, that and he was tired. He is still getting back full fitness. Threw everything he had in the first half and looked good but disappeared after half time.

Yes we did Cpt. Obvious.

How perceptive of you. You keep on living with all that negativity mate and I'll stick with being disappointed that we lost while also maintaining the ability to see past my nose.

Pretty good summary, although I'd like to see Roos stick with both for the rest of the season.

Let's go back here shall we... there is nothing in losing? So we cannot take anything positive from it? We have to ignore Tyson's performance, Jetta being terrific down back etc?

Pretty much sums it up. Wonderful effort, excellent improvement... but still a loss.

I'd miss it if you made one every now and then.

So we can't actually look at the play the got us to that point then? Sorry Dad, didn't realise you dictated what get's said on this board.

I don't disagree - but what else can we do right now? We need to start winning these games, but we simply lack that killer instinct right now. I take solace in the fact we are clearly getting better and we will, if we stay the course, learn how to win these games in the future.

Not arguing that, but the blatant player bashing isn't exactly the way to go about it.

Did we get done by 10 goals? Going by the above it feels like it. Jones made a costly error which is inexcusable but if it wasn't for his 31 touches we aren't in the game. Dom Tyson is back in form, our forward line finally functioned properly for the first time in a few weeks and the changes made were telling. Jones and Terlich try hard but lack some poise and class. Tapscott and Blease, while not necessarily winning much of the ball, kicked a couple of important goals and gave us something around the ground. JKH and Kent also provided some spark and will give us more going forward. Disappointing loss but still plenty to like and we can look at the Lions game at Etihad in a fortnight with far morwe confidence.

Didn't realise spoiling the ball was a free kick, but you learn something new every day.

Unbelievable. Worst decision I've seen.

Neck up ya negative parrot! Demons!!

Can we play at the Adelaide Oval every round please?

[censored] DEMONS!!!!!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

We are in this game...

Terrific spoil from Grimes. Amazing what a few clearances and some clean footy can do.

Frawley gets bumped in the head... play on. Pathetic.
