Have another beer at the Imperial since I won’t be going now due to general admission tix selling out

Tremendous news! What a story.

6 - Gawn 5 - Brayshaw 4 - Oliver 3 - Hogan 2 - Salem 1 - Melksham You really had to watch every minute of the game to understand why Max was easily the best player on the ground. When things were tough he kept giving us a chance with his hitouts. With an average ruckman we would have been smoked in that period and game over.

There needs to be more intent. Take the first option, back yourself. Theres too much give it to the other guy and let him deal with the problem attitude.

No spread, no two way running. Stupid forward entries. What else is new?

Don't know where JKH is gonna make his mark today but its not as a backman

Bad news about Viney and even worse if it's as bad as people are saying. But right now we got a game to play

Man! Never thought that name would enter my awareness again..

Has anyone played a better first 50 games? Gee it’s a tough one! Maybe Judd

Not JKH’s biggest fan but he’s earned his recall. Go get em mate!

I watched about 10 minutes of the game and noticed this..

Most likely not gonna get to watch this one to my annoyance. Come on Dees.

It's always nice to get our own back especially if they are the right guys for the job. I was stoked when Viney came back for instance. But its definitely gotta be best man for the job, can't get them all.

I'm personally happy with Oscar. He's had some great games where he's done all you could ask. Yeah he's he bit limited but I'd be in the camp of finding the right guy to play alongside him. I do feel there are many here and at games who feel he simply can't play, which is sad. Having said that I think its a worthwhile question SFebey asks and it gets you thinking. I'm sure there's many ideas on what we can do to improve our backline and at this stage I'm willing to listen to them.

Haha this is exactly what I was doing just now and was scared to throw up some names!

Terrible injury, feel for the guy he deserved to play finals. All the best mate

I'm as guilty as anyone for coming on here to rant after a loss like that. Having said that I do enjoy reading the rational input on here. In the moment its probably not what we want to hear but I'm definitely glad there are people here that can offer that in those moments.

I like it how after all we went through last year we are looking at a best case scenario of limping into the finals. Hardly seemed worth waiting for but it doesn't have to be glamorous this year I guess. Just gotta get in.

I wish it didn't ruin my day/week. If I could be a bit more like that it would certainly be better. Unfortunately not Hopefully this changes one day.

MFC might have whiffed on an early pick? What else is new?

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I got nothing against the people who say there is more to life and it’s just a game, heck I wish I could walk out of the G after a loss and be laughing and ‘up’ like some Dees fans but I’m not. I’m dead set gutted and yes it ruins my day/start of the week. Dramatic? Maybe, but honestly I look forward to little else on the weekend right now. 80 hours is a rough slog to get through just to see another opportunity, makes me not feel so bad about my 50 hours I guess.

I don’t know if many other people are like this. I am at a point in life where football is pretty much all I care about. I’m single, in my early 30s, social but not quite as social as I used to be. But all I look forward to during a working week is the game that we are playing and hopefully that we’ll win so I can get that temporary happy boost that seems to be lacking so much in my life right now. Today was real hard to deal with, as I’m sure it was for many people here. I feel like most people here have other things to concentrate on but I feel like this is the only thing giving me some kind of buzz. Football is literally everything to me right now. Probably shouldn’t even be saying all this but I have thought about doing it for a while now.

I’m looking forward to Baker coming in, playing a Petty type of game, and everyone here then stating it was a terrible selection! ?

Missed that era but surely Hafey coached angry! Kill or be killed mentality

What the hell does it matter? We can go through possible selections till we are blue in the face it’s either not going to be who we need or it’s not going to make the other 22 players do their job. I’ll revisit this in a few days but right now I’m way too peeved to even think about it.
