It's about ppl extrapolating wins against weaker sides into us being flag contenders. Some of the stuff written after our 6 wins in a row was plain embarrassing. We will never win finals consistently until we fix our leaky defence. And we should have had that fixed by now. After all, Roos started the defensive mantra yet we are still one of the easiest sides to score against once the ball goes inside our back 50.

But but I thought we had a good game plan that will stand us in good stead in the finals....

It doesn't take a genious to work out that if you make finals you have to play teams that are in the eight. But the Pollyanna's don't care about that. I sometimes envy them because life is all sweetness and light.

The real question should have been " was this discussed with Umpire Pannell when he went to meet with Chris Scott last week.

You said we have no one to replace JKH. JKH is not playing midfield.

POSTMATCH DISCUSSION - Round 18
We have had 2 decent on field leaders in 16 years. Neitz and Junior. What an indictment on this club. Leadership was so bad they had to give it to Grimes and Trengove. Oliver is looking like one with consistent performances. 13 possessions in the 1st qtr despite being heavily tagged by SSelwood. Viney maybe - love his drive but have strong question marks over his ability to put team first with regard personal injuries. It cruelled Trengove and would hate to see it happen again.

If you really think we lost that game because we 'were just plain unlucky' your opinion is not worth a cracker. Geelong had kicked 8 goals to 3/4 time and we let them kick 8 straight in the last qtr. Ineptitude of the highest order. Weakest defensive effort for a long time. We have one plan and one speed. Bomb it into our fwd line as quickly as possible. It doesn't stack up in big games against quality opposition or in finals. Our record is testament to that (well not the finals bit). 2018 is gone. We can't defend.

Thats why you need someone who can defend one on one. He is as physical as wet lettuce. Keilty actually would bring some grunt.

Changes vs Adelaide
Because he is useless and has no physical presence. Would rather see Kielty.
