POSTMATCH: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
Alright so I’ve just finished watching after having to go with 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. When watching just now had that nice teaser from Viney and then wow. Just wow, total implosion. Bickering between teammates and inept ability to hack the pressure. It really feels like we’ve gone back to the 2016 team with terrible decision making, handballs to teammates 3 metres away hitting the deck and just all round dumb football. Got that out of the way, I thought we really came to play today with decent pressure and cleanish disposal early. The one glaring thing we were getting torched in was the clearances, which didn’t help. Maybe I was being overly optimistic but I kind of felt that maybe we had stepped forward by still being in it despite that stat. It ripped us to shreds in the end and it usually does. Good performers: Salem - quality, quality, quality. Please develop cloning technology quicker. Decent performers: Clarry always there as usual and took some nice marks. Viney working his way into some reasonable form, but that first step or 2 out of a contest looks like a truck. Harmes was consistent, probably should have had a goal. May was very good on a mis-matched opponent. Trac good early then trailed off. Invested quite a bit in this game. I really wanted to win, more so than last week. I believe wholeheartedly in finishing a season strong to rebound. As for tanking? Been there done that. An early poster mentioned our lack of football smarts. Couldn’t agree more and it has to be on par with any lack of skill or speed we have. My mate seems to think the backline is set and that all we need to do is fix our forward line and we’ll be back. Total bogus BS. This midfield doesn’t win us a flag for me. It might with a 10% tweak but not right now. The end

Fans Behaving Badly?
I agree with some of this but Kennett was not dead right. As someone who was born here, is a third generation Australian and knows the game back to front but when seen in person could pass for a ‘new arrival’ as Mr Kennett put it I found the comments pretty offensive.

POSTGAME: Rd 14 vs Fremantle
Good win today! Behind at every change but showed real character to pull it off. I don’t care where you are on the ladder is there anything better than going to the g on a Saturday afternoon and getting a win! Plenty of good performances. For the first time in ages we all had to leave good ones out of the DL voting. Viney was immense today and I thought Gawn was serviceable in the first half before really taking over in the second. Harmes sacrificed his game a bit to slow down Fyfe who was just rinsing us in the first half. Jay Lockhart, I just love a kid that comes in and still has the head bobble. No complications just see ball, get it, kick it towards goal through the big sticks. Sam Frost is working his way into some rich form, seemed to go pretty hard at it today, but could also just be his haircut. I definitely saw a turn in confidence and willingness to go with the first option more today. Ok we benefited from Freo losing man power but we did what we needed to do and transitioned the ball very well in that last quarter. Bravo Dees, let’s build on this!
