Careful Spence, too much logic in your questioning.

Bad kicking.............

Get the first goal then flood the back-line.

3.7. Wow, bad kicking is bad football. Will only have ourselves to blame if we lose.

Optimism SONS, zero losses so far as well!

Cannot argue with Mick's assessment that we drink our own bathwater. He is 100% accurate. How many times did we lose to teams we should've beaten last year? I count at least 5 games. Roos x 2, Hawks, Freo & Filth in round 23. The only thing that will stop us from making finals is ourselves. I hope Goody has learned a thing or 2 from last year trying to stop players' getting ahead of themselves, otherwise it will be our downfall again this year. What makes me almost as angry as the round 23 loss is that during the win against the Aints in r21, there were several players' asking their opposition what they were doing in September. This coming from a team that has achieved nothing and had barely any relevance since 1964.

give em a call if it doesn't arrive this week.

Absolutely hem. Making finals should be a non-negotiable, but even if we do, that should not be seen as 'good enough' by the playing group. No point making the finals if you do nothing in them. Port Adelaide last year is a prime example of that.

and that has always and will always be Watts' problem. He plays football with his head, not his heart.

If we can make the shift from 'we've got this' to 'we want this' we will become a very dangerous team. Confidence is one thing, arrogance (particularly when we haven't achieved anything but mediocrity for so long) is completely unacceptable. I want our boys to stay hungry and be ruthless 100% of the time.

Agree Pates. Wish him all the best and hope he does well, just not too well when he plays us. afaic, we are a poorer team as a result of his departure.

The wrong (and bad) decision was made to rush him back from surgery in the latter parts of last year. I apportion blame to the Docs/fitness staff, the coaches and Viney himself. Had his injury been handled properly during its initial stages, he would've been ready to go come round 1. Given how tight the comp is to qualify for the 8, come year's end his unavailability may not only cost us a spot in last years finals, but this years as well.

He isn't.

Oliver needs to kick the ball more. I know he is in the guts pretty much 100% of the time, but he is too good an accumulator and kick to not exploit this more.

just about had a heart-attack

[censored] fantastic.

SNAFU is a new one by me. Meaning?

52 inside 50's for only 6 marks. That's 11.5% conversion. This also needs to be fixed.

i was getting a little upset with the Aints comeback, but Demonland starting to play up sent me over the top. [censored], not demonland.

good to see we still have some idea of the whereabouts of the goal.

8 of the last 9 goals. We are still unable to stop the run on. Something to work on maybe.

who has the wind this quarter? If it's us, then uh-oh.

who has the wind this quarter?

is it me, or is North almost always on the right side of the free kick ledger?

Could only give you 1xthumbs up via the demonland reactionary emojis, so i had to go get some of my own Trac. ???
