We're being shown up by the Giants, a team beaten by the Hawks. For any one who has chosen to deny we've been on the slide for a while, here's some proof. We've found some ways to win some games, which is ok, but largely we've struggled, particularly against poor opponents, and this is yet another example.Â
Even if we find a way to win this, these half game brain fades just give teams unnecessary look ins for games.Â
This is embarrassing.

Of the "better" teams who exactly had shredded us.
Unless by better teams you ate referring to the pies and crows.
Calm down mate. I've watched every game.
Our current forward structure was working against the other teams. Today it has looked limp. Constructive comment to say we're going to need to fix it. The Bombers are not a top 8 team. We will soon face a bunch of them..

Jesus this game is giving me palpitations.
We're ahead and everything, and provided the wheels don't fall off we should run over these twerps.
But we've gone from a 'nice problem to have' in not knowing who to pick up forward to we seriously don't know who to pick. TMac has gone off the boil, I thought last round was an aberration. Fritter has had a couple of assists but otherwise nowhere near it. Kozzie quiet.Â
What do we do?! We're going to need to convert against better teams and in finals!

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs GWS
in Melbourne Demons
I'm actually happy we'll lose the #1 spot this week. We're not a true #1 (ladder leaders have losses, but they don't lose to THREE bottom eight sides in just over a month. GWS struggled against the bottom two sides in the league.
Plus, being #1 doesn't suit us, the boys have clearly gotten ahead of themselves. Hopefully they rediscover the hunger they had at the beginning of the season. Quick. Because time is running out. As is the ever enduring forward problem. Bring in either Brown. Anyone really, just not another midget.
Not a bad time to be out of form, gives us a chance to build momentum. But that depends on the boys recognising where they're actually at (except most of our defenders), and working their backsides off to get to where we need to be.
We need top 4, top 2 is going to be hard. It goes without saying that we need to turn 180 to beat Port.
