Easier to stomach because we got beaten by two teams in the bottom 5 in consecutive weeks? That makes me even angrier at this club.

So she couldn't possibly know whats going on because you haven't heard anything about it even though you're not "plugged in to the main vein".. Have I got that right? Just wanted to check.

He gets a bad rap on here. Geez those highlight reels look impressive. He's a keeper for mine.

Sadly you are spot on. We have blown it Wouldn't surprise anyone if either scenario happend below: a) We get smashed by Essendon b) St Kilda loses and we wallop Essendon but fall 0.001% short This club only knows one way.

He is a very good kick for goal

So the reason he would want to come here is money and/or a longer contract? Nope.

Why are we even in this pathetic position? Peanuts

This is EXACTLY why the rule was brought in A more obvious example you could not find. Dangerous in the extreme

Hmmm Must win game Prime time TV Windy Giants by 42

Seek help immediately RUOK?

Sorry but I can't abide this argument that somehow Goody was a genious and we recruited for a game plan and then lo and behold we were completely flumoxed by an AFL rule change. I don't buy it. It's pathetic and yet another excuse for our mentally fragile midgets.

Yes it would but we have form...

You do understand that we can't afford players in the team that apply zero defensive pressure?

Melbourne Prime Time TV Game on Saturday night as we fight to make finals. What could possibly go wrong.

The same trained professionals that cruelled Trengove's career perhaps

If this is our decision it would be a mistake of the highest order. I understand he can be a bit polarising and he has some limitations but he a bull that needs to be used better. He is in the mould of Selwood but with less polish. If he can add some calmness to his game and be more measured with his decision making he could be one of the outstanding players in the comp These players are not a dime a dozen, they are incredibly rare. And while his shortcomings are well known to us here with better coaching and direction he could explode. Maybe they have already tried that, maybe he doesn't listen but I wouldn't be happy with him leaving until we explored every last avenue to help him become a better player. Eveyr player has limitations and we have to work out how to work with what Viney has, not what he doesn't have. I am of the view the he and Oliver don't work effectively together as they are both 'see ball get ball' players that get in theirs and others way often. I think we have a coaching problem with our midfield and this needs to be fixed asap. We have gone from being #1 in clearances to being an also ran. That to me is all on the coaching panel and the confusion of how we are trying to play.

If only there was a common denominator.....

This is why Goodwin can't coach It was I think 103 to 44 at half time Blindly freaking obvious how Freo were playing yet we did nothing at all about letting them control the football Anyone care to defend that? He's [censored] hopeless so it's our vaunted leadership Get hodge

My overiding thought listening to pert was 'I'm longing for Peter jackson to come back'

Sure but no one's listening. We've heard it before. As you would say, the scoreboard says it all the rest is just fluff from an institutionalised corporate suit

Usual spin. Said nothing

No one gets to AFL without some decent skills. Yes they can fail under pressure but they all start with being able to kick handball and mark

The President's spray was timely but we don't need him commentating every week

Irrelevant and looking for excuses. The ground you play at doesn't disguise the effort last night 203 Uncontested posessions to 98 Our boys don't like to run, chase, cover their man or get back to help the defenders. But gee we're great at guarding grass. Lazy and dumb. getting back from the man on the mark, not being on the goal line when someone is having a shot. Stupid 50m penalties, falling into the back of someone on the ground. 1m handballs to stationary players, 4 players flying for a mark. But its the ground we play at thats the problem. The supporter base should demand more from these pea hearts.
