We were not close in 22. We were the walking wounded going 6-6 last 12 games and then losing both finals. We were out on our feet 2023 was bad luck when all our forwards went down. I’m far from sure, if we had won through, that we would win a prelim, never mind a granny. We were out of luck unfortunately

Another positive. We’re not leaving any percentage behind. 2 weeks running we’ve filled our boots.

Outstanding performance. no weak links. everyone contributed. we're right in it this year thoughts with Purcell. hopefully the news is not what we fear. go dees

i like the look of Molly O'Hehir. neat and polished

Saraid Taylor, whom i thought would be a weak link, has been very solid

brilliant spoil from Goldy there. started 2 meters behind her opponent

maybe its because I'm a grump today but I'm finding it hard to listen to abbey holmes

don;t kick it out to wardlaw. their only aerial threat

outstanding half of football. we're put the saints to the sword ball movement very good. and we have dominant forwards in tayla and zanker. hanks all class really hope Purcell injury not serious. would be a real downer if it is.

she had a look of resignation leaving the field would be dreadful luck for her

jeez purcell. i hope that knee isn;t serious

some strange umpiring

very good first quarter. great intent and pressure tayla playing well. pearce very good in the ruck. hanks and purcell getting plenty of it i think we have the breeze in the second quarter so hopefully can fashion more clear cut opportunities

i reckon I'd prefer to keep clarry for this role and let Jack explore his options dreadful list mgt giving jack 4 more years last year

Wardlaw was a handful last week. hopefully we can nullify her impact this won't be an easy game. Saints showed plenty of guts last week and will be buoyed by beating the Crows. they have a good spine and will compete. that said we have more class and if Hanks and Purcell can play like last week and we can get enough ball to tayla and zanker we should win go dees

this has been me all year. i can see a world where both remain and a world where one leaves, but i chop and chnage which one is the one to go every week.

as much as i think we need to move out the poorly skilled players the reality is Rome wasn;t built in a day we'll need a couple of draft and trade periods to make the necessary changes and hope the new coach can coax better performances from this group than what we've been getting the last 2 years

that moment changed the game. horrible turnover in the worst possible spot.

you never know if you're insured or not until something happens. classic example of vultures. Weasel their way out of payouts relying on small print. one of great hoodwinks performed on the masses was the privatisation of everything. There should be public insurers, public banks, public utilities. get rid of the rapacious scumbags out of these sectors and we'll all be much better off.

Spoke very well i thought. I like the way he handled that nuffy sam McClure the proof will be in the pudding of course. He did sound very definitive on Caulfield so there can be no back tracking there. Really need to nail the head coach appointment. Get that right we can be challenging again in 2 years hopefully.

We are the pies bunnies. its a horrible fact to acknowledge. makes me sick actually. we can't beat them. they are rent free in our heads. Outside of max, we don't have leadership. the number of close losses clearly demonstrates that. you can be positive about the good work to get us into positions to win but if you can't close, it's all for naught. it's up to the younger brigade now to take on the mantle. Langford will be a star, lindsay, windsor. kossie of course. hopfefully Max can hang in there for 2 more years to guide them we need significant list turnover, move on the panic merchants (my god langdon) and find players to execute when the whips are cracking I'll leave to others to be positive (ball movement intent, if not execution, a positive) but i just feel deflated after that season.

He really wasn’t

6 Gawn fo being Gawn 5 Langford for composure 4 clarry starting to get back to his old self 3 rivers for a great second half, drove us forward 2 fritsch took his chances 1 Salem was tidy all night

Mentally weak. As soon as the pressure comes on we revert to mindless footy. It’s ingrained. Big job for the new coach to reprogram this team
