  1. I would have thought that they would have prepared properly before .... not have to discover they hadn't after !!
  2. so you'd have Dockland as Marvel-less ??
  3. They may not talk about it much, but they WILL care. If that doesnt burn a hole into the thinking and cause the many to have a good hard look at what went wrong then Id be quite concerned. They used that loss to Geelong as a pivotal exercise in going forward, i suspect they will use the prelim as some form of incentive. Whilst I would normally concur stats are somewhat over rated , in this instance it's not a stat per se. Its a result..at half time it was the SCORE.. Stats get you to that Score. I totally agree a goal here or there is not of much difference... but to go GOAL-LESS is actually different .Argue all you might..it's different. That goes into record Books...it's THAT different.
  4. repetition possibly...but not irony
  5. Them 52 Us 53 (i50) O/all possession WC 49% us 35 The i50 is misleading in that more often than not the ball was marked by WC and returned to the other end with unrelenting monotony .
  6. I reckon quite a lot would care a great deal about that goal less half. Hopefully the 22 that played ( and all that didn't ). Hopefully the coaching staff and equally those in charge of this club. That is beyond unacceptable
  7. High time some other team pays this penance surely. Something for the club to lobby for
  8. Someone ought to have been paying attention.
  9. Harmes Oliver Jetta
  10. Nice over reaction. Suits your stance. Real ironic? Surely you actually mean 'really ironic'. You seem to infer an unreal ironic. Now that's ironic. I get it you're among those that dismiss the notion as wildly heretic. I have no attachment to any player. I'll barrack for them in red and blue, otherwise they're irrelevant. I'm only interested in a good competitive team. That team needs balance , depth , ethics and the right attitude. It must work together as a team and implore the team ideal. I happen to think ( so it's just my opinion I grant ) that we function better without being hogan- centric. He hasn't shown imho the true grit required when face with superior competition. Others on the park do. I'm happy for the club to sort that out as I am for them to entertain offers. I don't really care whether he stays or goes. If he adds to the equation, fine. For mine the values placed upon him are exaggerated. That said I'm more than happy if other teams see greater value in him and offer accordingly.
  11. Really...don't like free discussion eh sponge. Go somewhere else
  12. And I said " he'll be" which infers a distant date. If you want to get pedantic
  13. She wouldn't be far from the mark.... sadly
  14. I can't...but a wonderful sentiment. Like yourself...thanks to the players...who'll be leaving.
  15. thankgod we're not after Cripps !!
  16. we hardly had the bloody ball !!! fair go......lol Dont think it did them any harm....just saying
  17. Thankyou...its valuable context. I dont think anyone really thinks the lad isnt talented. It's a very one sided extrapolation to say he'll be as good as Kennedy. That said it would not surprise me if WCE made a play for him
  18. team X just mawls you ...humiliates you....mocks you... and people want to barrack for them ?? odd
  19. maybe you might want to study those same statistics closer
  20. maybe this is the new problem...playing in front of small crowds !!! ?
