Another average turnout. Even the cheersquad looked pretty thin, disappointing when even they don't want to show up.

Someone clearly sponsors the guy

Thought we were great tonight, the better side lost. The umpiring was atrocious and there should not have been a score review. Billing's effort was extremely poor for such an experienced player, stop giving him an out! We have done this to ourselves, we stuffed up list management and only have one ruckman. If you thought this was a good idea at the start of the idea then you don't know football.

6. Pickett 5. Gawn 4. Viney 3. Langdon 2. ANB 1. Salem Absolutely stunned that so many are picking Petty, absolutely stunned..

Some of the stuff that gets said on these pages is so unsubstantiated and potentially damaging to people's reputations.

Guy can hardly move

Would anyone be surprised if May finishes up this year?

Seriously mate what do you want to do?

We need to get down to the nitty gritty of this. We are not playing well and putting it down to one player is pointless.

That's silly, one player doesn't make a team. Especially when that team is full of premiership players.

We need to be aggressive and go hard at the ball. McAdam has been a baffling trade in.

Famous last words

Thought we were doing alright at HT and the Dogs kept us in it. Was shocked to see them come out in the second half the way they did.

I think he was shocking tonight, ball movement non-existent.

Doesn't excuse 16,000 in a prime slot. Not even a quarter of the member base. That's just embarrassing, if it were Richmond a quarter of theirs would be 25,000 and I'm pretty sure they would get much better than that to a game like this.

After the hatchet job he did to Carlton? No thanks.

Not quite as simple as that but these things are all true.

Match of the year might be this week.

Don't know who these other posters are but my posts have nothing to do with trolling. You're obviously passionate and do a lot for the club so it's not about hatred. Admittedly it has gotten frustrating when you refuse to answer any perfectly valid questions and tell me to 'jog on' or devalue it because according to you 'I've been here for 5 seconds' or some other kind of bullying behaviour, they have simply been questions, not trying to give grief. For instance when you said the football department and cheer squad work very closely together, I genuinely wanted to know how this was the case and was all ears and open to what you had to say. I could understand the marketing department and the cheer squad working closely together but the coaches, list managers, sport science people etc.? The non-answer to me came across like this was just a hyperbolic statement designed to get people interested.

16k on a Sat night is embarrassing

Bombers are terrible

Agree really poor taste. There's no point being elitist about it especially when the cost of living is so damn high that people can barely afford to take their family on a holiday let alone every single interstate football game, a lot of people have jobs and other commitments so it's a unrealistic comparison. I'd have liked to see more fight from our fans tonight, even 10k more would have made a difference.

It also builds your tank and gets you match practice in the best environment that they train for, the game. You're sounding like someone who has never played or followed sport before, still waiting for links to these so called studies.

Ok then, link us to the study that says closed training sessions and running is better for match fitness than actual game time.

So you think playing the sport for 4 quarters week in week out does nothing for your match fitness? What total nonsense. Do people really have any idea what they're talking about when it comes to fitness and preparation or is it just another chance to give Clayton a pass? I thought he was very good for the most part to be honest.
