We're not that club anymore. We proved it beyond any doubt last September I agree this could be the spark that ignites our season We’ve been off and apparently Goody has been concerned with complacency sinking in Having the blow torch on us this week will shake us out of our lethargy I expect a big performance against the pies and I expect to win And Steven May, who has behaved like a complete prat, will be one of our best players for the rest of the season

Sounds like May has a sharp tongue when he's drinking We all have a mate who gets mouthy and boorish when drunk. They are not fun to be around. May needs to take a look at himself and how he behaves when he is on the grog. Otherwise he’ll be drinking alone when his career finishes

I agree fisty cuffs in a Prahran restaurant is a bad idea. Optics are terrible but the same principal applies. as long as they have made up, genuinely, there shouldn't be an issue

Team mates have dust ups all the time. As long as they have both cleared the air and there’s no lingering resentment this isn’t an issue. All that matters now is Monday and beating the pies. Do that and this week will be forgotten pretty quickly

I hope the team shows the same fighting spirit against the pies

I don't see Sam Reid's effort being topped this year

The timing is not ideal but he’s got credits in the bank. AA last year and should have been AA the year before. He’s not the first bloke to get on the turps when he shouldn’t, and he won’t be the last. He’s been punished so I expect that to be the end of it I’m backing him in to be one of our best players v the Lions

Oh FFS. What are thinking maysie

Your posts have been very disparaging and mean spirited. I’ve no problems at all with you making suggestions for improvements as long as you do so constructively.

Rubbish post

Too much loading

I'm far more concerned with how we go against the Pies next week than the result of this one. We just have to beat the pies

The umps are incompetent. but not corrupt

Shocking free kick given against the pies which gives the Hawks the lead. Far out that was bad

Hawks right back in this. game on

The last 2 weeks have reminded me of something I’d kinda forgot about I hate losing. Really puts a downer on the weekend

Oh ye of little faith. I said at the start of the season i expect us to make a prelim. when we get there i hope we're healthy. If we are then we're every chance of going back to back

If Goody thinks complacency is the issue then he needs to make a statement or 2 at the selection table. Bedford has done nothing wrong so should start against the pies, not sure who he comes in for. Perhaps give one of Spargo, Sparrow or Hunt a week off as well. Send a message

Average nights sleep which is usually the case after a loss Sydney is always a tough game for us. Always. So not shocked that we lost They brought they best, we were very patchy yet could still have won. I view that as a positive Last nights performance was reminiscent of our mid season drop off last year. I’d like to know if we’ve upped our training loads. If we have then I expect this form to continue for a few weeks. The prize is September and being in prime shape to give it a proper shake. We timed our run perfectly last year. Hopefully we can do the same again this year We have problems to work through as others have outlined already in this thread. I have faith the players and coaching team can get things back on track. As supporters we need to stay the course and back in the team Go Dees

sure looks like it we're just not at it like we should be I'm glad Goody is onto it

We can;t bring JVR into the team in these circumstances. Talk about setting him up to fail

6. Maxy 5. Viney 4. Oliver 3. Gus 2. Jordon 1. Fritsch

We have no key forward in any kind of form. I sya we try Petty inside 50 and leave Thommo in And give Hibberd a run if he's fit (i don't know if he is) Out: Hunt and Brown (not sure whether Mitch or Ben, its a toss up) In: Hibberd and MAy

Our form is horrible No fluency or rhythm at all. So stodgy Nothing happening up forward other than the odd spark from Fritta. Whats happened to BB? Maxy immense. Oliver, Petty, Viney not bad. Gud did well last quarter. The rest passengers Big test for the coaching group now to right this ship. Not panic stations but we need to fix this. Queens birthday game is huge now

Umps have no feel for the game at all.
