I don't entirely disagree with what Darcy says, but by Christ I'm sick of the club being potted by everyone in the media constantly. Can't the wankers in the press find something else to write about? The other thing it does is cause keyboard warriors create endless threads on how [censored] we are on BigFooty. Yes we don't appear to be much good right now but what is the point of 100 journos each writing an article on it, other than feeling big and important by giving us another whack when we are already covered in bruises? Seriously, write about Essendon or Adelaide or whoever the latest team on the rise is.

Eagles have slackened off this quarter. Someone from AFL House must have sent a message for them to slow down. Must be working out the margin to get us on the bottom of the ladder..

Neeld can hardly come out and say 'we were [censored], 18 of the 22 today were spuds' etc. The knobs at the Hun would have a week of stories out of that. What he can do, and I would hope does, is tell players individually and as a group what they are doing wrong or not doing at all. For the last 4 years the game style was entirely one way and now they are being taught how to play both ways (with and without the ball) but excluding the Collingwood game this had only appeared in patches. The biggest concern for me is the lack of spread to cover opposition players when they have the ball.

The difference is Carlton is a ruthless club who will do anything to be successful, but we don't seem to take it as seriously.

I think the development of our young players is held up by the lack of genuine A-graders on our list. A kid who gets drafted by Geelong or Collingwood is going to develop quicker and be a better player in most cases as they have Chappy, Bartel, Selwood or Swan, Pendlebury, Thomas to train with and setting the example for them to follow. Who do we have?

Frees are 10-1 to the Eagles. Shouldn't expect any better over there.

Am I too cynical for thinking that we have had a better sponsorship offer in the wind that is for the front and back, so we needed to find an 'easy' way to get rid of Energy Watch? Probably not the case given the 'damage' the issue has caused the club but the thought did cross my mind.

This is worse than 186. Showing absolutely no respect to the Stynes family.

Can't listen to anymore of the circle jerking. At one point they compared Port to Geelong. Hard to tell how we are going other than the score line and possession count. Both shithouse.

Dennis is the best. I also like Huddo, and must give a tick for his commentary of the Swans/Cats final in 2005. It must have been killing him to have to call what transpired in the last few minutes but he remained professional. Gerard Whateley is very good as well.

88 marks to 30 says plenty too, they have had over 100 possessions more than us.

David Hale is crap yet he destroys us every time. I hate Hawthorn but don't know if we will ever beat them.

Not too worried about winning although it would be nice. More wanting to see us break even or better in the contested possession and clearance counts, and to see the press hold solid again.

Worst thing I saw was Watts having 5 of them all over him on the wing and no support. Better win the second game.

He would probably pinch the umpires coin too!

I'm now of the belief that he signed with the Bogans before he was drafted by us in 2009. Up until 'the decision' was announced I thought he was going to stay.

Absolutely brilliant. No stone is being left unturned to give the players the best possible preparation to be successful.

It will work in TuneIn Radio if you put the web address in, assuming TWR has one.

Where's Sylvia? Sounds like half our blokes have already gone to the pub.

At least most of the players put in an effort this week. Joel Mac and Watts were the pick. Best wishes to Strauss and Tappy. Is Moloney carrying an injury? I noticed he had a massive bandage around his torso.

Ours. 22 points now - game over. Off to scrubber ovals next week.

Another magnificent umpiring decision.

Lloyd is a complete [censored] and the umpires aren't much better. We do sound rubbish though, with a couple of exceptions.

12 - Dyson Heppell 33 - Lucas Cook 50 - Alex Johnson 53 - Ben Brown

This. Had he played with a Victorian club would be mentioned alongside the all time greats. Wonderful player.
