A lot of venting goes on in the game day thread. I tend to view in the same way I look at MFCSS. It’s just the way some people feel and express themselves. I don’t get too worked up about it. The persecution complex is the one I find hardest to fathom. It takes a very brave poster to defend the umpires or to suggest that there isn’t a nefarious conspiracy by AFL House, the media, rival clubs, the illuminati, the reptilian elite, who are all plotting against us. Nobody has ever explained why they are all out to get us.

We have to persevere with Sam. He does some good things at different times but hasn’t quite put it all together. The double-grabbing is the worry for me. If he can make 2-3 more marks a game stick then his confidence will rise and he will kick on Chocco gave him a huge rap over the pre-season comparing him to Tredrea. The coaching team have faith him so I think we should as well. I have a vision of him kicking a bag against the pies. Wouldn’t it be something to see a Weideman putting them to the sword. An added bonus would be having Eddie commentating while he does it.

I'm loving this team and loving this season.

Finally a push in the back call

Trent Rivers has been excellent this half

May immense second half

Are the Lions a fit team. I fancy us in the fourth quarter

He's having some game Bailey

We're showing heart and guts. I'm very proud.

Few positives there other than we're only 20 points down. The Lions are by far the better team. Tackling, marking, kicking, clearances. better in every department Not sure what Goody can do other than give everyone a spray

Too many passengers. Goody going to earn his wages at half time.

the most obvious throw i've ever seen there from Hunt. HE needs to lift. He been AWOL all game.

very laboured ball movement

Luke Jackson is important for us but i reckon he needs a break

tough game for sparrow tonight. he's making bad decisions

Have to kick it .. and he does. Brilliant Trac. badly needed

How often does Maxy tap it to their forward and concede a goal. Ridiculous

tough quarter. Lions far the better team. We need to bring much more heat otherwise we're going to have our pants pulled down tonight.

The Lions looking very sharp. We need quarter time to re-set.

Maxy showing the way here. He's playing well.

There are beating us all over the field at the minute. Need to re-set here.

Thats more like it from Hipwood. Kick the tough one and miss the easier

Nice be of crumbing there by Maxy

straight away with the behind the ball hit on Maxy. Hipwood you scumbag. hope you get yours

McNamee was dreaming. Browney has just stated on the pre game show that he never had any intention of joining us
