19 You mean he might still grow ???

We won round 4

Reality check Coach going ok. Still surprises ( good and bad ) Selection. Bizarre. Leaders...saw something I didn't sat. We have much to commend . But that was insipid.. truly I'm not sure anyone is throwing towels in( yet ) but .... We're supposed to be far better than that.

Really ?! I didn't think there was ANY

Il completely concur I feared it might take a month to really get going. That said I'm not enthralled to see players cooked half through the first quarter of the first game and held scoreless in the last. There's a bit of a chasm between struggling a bit....and abysmal. I believe you'll need to be top4 with some hefty home advantages in finals to lift the cup. I'm not visualising it currently.

Obviously My reference of course was to what the expectations are. Just playing finals ?... That's a fail for mine.

I thought this year wasn't about making finals...I thought it was about making THE final.

Yep. A lot we aren't being told here. Not that I'd imagine we would anyway. Both way below par....both have a ....? ..a niggle ! These are both key pivotal players. Something ain't kosher

Funny you bring this up. It was brought to my attention halfway through the last quarter. It really doesn't bode well. Lose two and it's catch up footy and invariably an awkward percentage gap. Can't lose this week.

Poor bugger

Is it though....an overreaction ? Before yesterday had you polled here and the general footy populus the result would have been: We're heading >>>>>>>>? like a steam train !! I reckon consensus just got a massive correction. I've seen nothing this year to date which really supports the original notion. Edit..had no idea what you had written @brendan (spooky )

@rjay Will we drop off this year ? Who would have even given an ounce of oxygen to that notion.... before yesterday ?? Such a thought has gone from a figment of imagination to pigment of apprehension !!

We cleaned up. I mean.. we got cleaned up

Totally agree. A costly selection stuff up. Further to this...it would have offered the opportunity for Gawn and Preuss to rest up forward providing valuable targets.

Until yesterday I was prepared to be lenient. I thought he may develop into a player. But....well....dumb is ....dumb......is costly. Experiment over.

Actually... I'm pretty positive.......we didn't score AT ALL in the last Yes...well disagree. Cheers

I saw no positives. You seem to be relying on double negatives

Far from over reacting. It's a clear impression from THAT game. The game is its own context surely. We were comprehensively beaten. In fact the scoreboard somewhat flatters us. Had they kicked a little straighter.....? How can we be cooked 15 mins into the first game of the year ?????? Much is made about our contested play style...but we hardly got to much of the contest yesterday...they ran circles around us.

Can't wait for Titus's take on the game ?

Upon reflecting on the game, I'm actually struggling to find even ONE thing , one positive , to take from it. What a complete and dismal stuff up. A long winter ahead.

Well...well.well Thought I'd get a good night's sleep before venturing here. We went in under done. Picked at least two with NO match fitness...guess who. Went in against two legitimate rucks.. with one... Still pick idiots who can't kick !! Recipe for success eh We played with all the verve of treacle !! Watts had a good game eh lol That was a football lesson Well done Port. We're very over-rated

Lol... welcome back to GameDay Demonlanders

Howe pathetic

Yeah...two goals if he's lucky
