So what's your point? ' I told you all last year our team was [censored] and now they are!'. Fmd. We have been smashed pure and simple. Welcome to AFL.

Cut that [censored] out. So easy to sling mud from the sidelines. Call yourself a supporter.

Thankyou Lazie. To expect to dominate every game is ridiculous and undermines the challenge our players and team face week in and week out. Agree about the sudden turning on our team and arrogance of entitlement many commenters are displaying. I am disappointed too as I want my team to do well, but I will support them and wish others did the same rather than dump on them with such venom.

Maybe time to step away from the game and computer.

What? We are getting smashed and we are only 26 points down. Things are not going out way, but disagree about being passive. Not great but hardly this wrist slashing [censored] you guys serve up.

Agree. I think everyone is working so hard to stop the scoring, and creating a defensive wall, but don't have any options moving forward of centre. No forward structure at all.

What a disgraceful comment. Footy involves 2 teams. Sometimes, believe it or not, you get beaten. Check yourself before you comment next time.

I doubt that's the case and it's such a throw away fairweather supporter excuse. Brisbane have been talked about as premiership chance. We are not playing ourselves.

We are simply being beaten by a team who turned up more switched on than us. Not fantastic, but hardly end of the world stuff. Max out will have a huge impact on the game plan. Interesting to see how they regroup. I reckon they will get it together over the duration of the match. Hang tough.

I think Kozzie is very lucky here. I would take 2 weeks in a heartbeat. His action was reckless and I don't know how he didn't injure Smith. It was not pretty to watch and if an opposition player did that to one of our players, I would be expecting multiple weeks, even if they escaped serious harm. The fact that he didn't injure Smith really shouldn't be taken into account because of the danger he put the ball carrier in. Take the two weeks.

Re: preseason coverage, the trackwatching is fantastic, and we are lucky to have such dedicated supporters. Surely the club has considered the preseason media coverage as a cost benefit analysis (my ignorant view!). Outside of a few committed supporters I wonder if it stacks up from a financial point of view. FWIW I would love to see more coverage, but if it means dollars are being used elsewhere (other human resources), I can cope with what we are getting during the off season. I do understand the frustration of others but I wonder if the club have decided money is better spent in other parts of the club. Is anyone able to shed any light on this?

Bradshaw was amazing. Defensive, rebounding and so solid. On the other side, we had langom who pressed for goals. But overall, Oliver was nuts. Set so much up. old dee, dr Dre- maybe time to follow Italy.

That has to be win of the season. Petty was amazing, backs were so solid, mids were methodical and forwards kicked what they should.

This is where the game was won.
