The Ox

well we all lost our collective faith, heads etc but fortunately those inside the football club didn't lose theirs, the one person I felt more for with this win was Goody he has copped it fair and square from every direction, myself included surely we can see that he still knows what he's doing and just give him some support, keep up the good work boys we love you all 😉

its funny before "the Crash' everybody wanted to know every conceivable bit of everything that happened at training haha now its oh so ho hum, quite funny really

is it not worth putting Jack Viney into a forward pocket, he can put some tackling pressure on and help with organisation and kick the odd one

well call me naive or whatever but I actually feel almost positive after last night, given our parlorous position at the moment we at least had a dip, missed scoring opportunities, umpiring decisions, players out out of confidence and still an unsettled side we managed to put together a start, ok maybe all our expectations were out of whack (clubs and fans) so lets just keep progressing forward, still some good footballers to come back in to the side, just keep going, and you guys too

there is something weird and drastically wrong here, a narrow "honourable" loss followed by two losses which by any measure cannot be explained away just through loss of form...give me a break, a strange cryptic post match interview from Max and not much better from S Goodwin, most of the senior players look totally disinterested, normally I'm pretty upbeat but not this time, thanks boys

lets see how those comments age

yes a very strange/odd/wierd and really unforgivable reaction to the whole situation I thought and then trac goes and gets piled into and the subsequent aftermath with Trac, its still all an elephant in the room situation for me

Thanks whisperer for all your efforts, you can have good rest like the rest of us

Thanks Whisperer I needed a good laugh, good job

yes I totally agree, the year post flag he totally laid down I thought and was a non contributor, really should have been dropped, no I can't forgive him yet for that, too blatant I'm afraid, but I will say he probably is the one player that we haven't come close to replacing unfortunately

Good on you Whispering Jack in the positive spirit of Binman lets bloody go for it I say

it was a desperately sad and depressing way to lose a game maybe even worse than last week because really it was game we could have won, however lose we did and now with Petracca out for an extended period another challenging period awaits, time for calm heads and steely resolve if there is indeed such a thing, as for myself well I'm just refusing point blank to give up, not until I absolutely have to and that's it

you're not in too bad a form yourself George with that write up mate

The hawks are forked I quite like that George

No question here but just saying there was a lot hanging on that game, a lot of built up emotion, hope and expectation, as a club we really had to come out and make a statement and I think we did and Olivers standing ovation and the emotion that went with it really says everything about what supporters and club have been through in this last period of time, thanks !

I think maybe when we get back to playing decent football on a regular basis one may hear our voices rise in volume again, yes we don't want to be anything like them at all

I reckon the four victorian sides were sacrificed (not withstanding) Carlton getting up for the Gods of the AFL to have their way, mind you I'm very happy that the unmentionables lost

yes I agree 100% he seems to mellowing a bit much for my liking, do they know he's not going to get much support either from his mates or the Umps

Me too my seething has gone deep now and if this all doesn't galvanise the whole and complete club from top to bottom then I don't what would
