not correct. I'm on that line. they were running to Caulfield. change there onto the Frankston line to get to Richmond

not having to queue for the bar was great

Great effort night were very undermanned. And our skills are so bad. But we had plenty of heart and that counts. Not sure what some posters expect. Very hard to please. go dees

I stayed to finish my beer before catching the train. Caught the end of the bombers game. Biggest cheer of the night when Mac Andrew’s marked and goaled. Eat shti bombers

This thread is embarrassing

Was he injured. That’s what I assumed

Clarry turnover led to the goal. He’s a liability at the moment

Reckon more seagulls than supporters here tonight

I think tmac is done. Has been a great servant

Rubbish kick lever

Some dumb footy from both sides

Our defensive talls all at sea. Port just need to kick into their forward 50 and we’re in trouble

Viney excellent so far

Riveting stuff so far

Not many around. Doubt we’ll crack 20k

Vineys kick was much worse. horrendous. He just had to hoof it into vacate Carlton territory but managed instead to shank his kick onto the chest of a Carlton player. The only place that could cause us a problem. Horror kick. I relive it regularly in my nightmares

A lot of bombers supporters on this train carriage. There are 2 others dees fans that I can see.

They have no obnoxious supporters to deal with should they win so I reckon I’ll jump on the orange tsunami for finals.

A win isn't as important as having a proper crack. Last week was just not acceptable. I'm bringing some overseas work colleagues that are in town along to see a game of footy. Would be a shame if we don't put up a fight and this game is as one sided as last week. That said, we don't chuck in the towel at the G so i expect us to bring plenty of effort. We're badly out of form and missing key players so I'm not hopeful of a positive result but as long as we try hard I'll be happy. Go dees

Talk of a dynasty and our great culture post our 21 flag turned out to be hot air/hubris. Foolish remarks in hindsight. Flags are very very difficult to win. We were banged up in 22 and our forward line was decimated last year going into finals. Yes we should have beaten the pies but who's to say we would have been able to win a PF and granny from there given our makeshift forward line. Talk of winning more than one flag overrates our list imv. We finished 4th on the ladder last year remember so we weren't a standout team by any stretch of the imagination. And are we really better than Carlton, Brisbane, GWS etc. I don't think we are. we're about to finish 12th or 13th for Christ's sakes. I'm delighted we won one flag and disappointed we weren't good enough or healthy enough to challenge for another. If we're smart this trade period, freshen up the coaching team and have a chunk of luck we might be able to snare another one next year. Possible but we need a lot to go our way. and it wouldn't surprise me if we go into rebuild mode either.

If we're considering trading Jack Viney then we're in rebuild mode. Given Tassy team entering the comp soon reloading through the draft now makes sense. This should only happen if this is right for Jack and his family. We should not force him out. if he wants to stay then he stays.

Ordinary game. Hard to believe that the Swans looked unbeatable for the first 3 months of the season. their form has deserted them and I don't think they can regain it this year.

Whilst mathematically possible our chances of making the 8 are practically zero. AMW has struggled at times but he needs the experience. Play the kids should be the go from here

We were super fit during our finals run in 2021. blew teams out of the water. It's not like our current fitness team are doing a stellar job. A change is justified imv so if he's available we should bring him back.

what parts of the article are incorrect? Cornes tells it like it is. no doubt he looks for headlines around trade period to drum up clicks so i'm sceptical when he writes on trade topics. He doesn't like long contracts for any player and never heard him comment otherwise. and i discount what he says about Port because he's biased but in general his comments are valid. Our future is not set in stone. We can get back on track with some smart trading, Clarry getting back to his best, injured players returning, change up the assistants etc. all is not lost.
