What a spud! Green and a lot of his mates almost destroyed the club. Schwab and Co did a lot of bad things but all it takes is a game like that to really burn [censored] to the ground. It was an insult to fans and long term supporters who had say through 40+ year of garbage. The sooner we got rid of that core, the better. And I'm still of the belief that we won't be 100% free of losing culture until every player on the list in 2011 is gone.

Wonaeamarri was the full package imo. Had the personality and drive to be a captain of the club. I remember hearing someone call him "Mother Mary" because they couldn't pronounce his name wrong. IMO he always had a brighter future than Jurrah.

Very much this. I hope we are never factored into these "*club* is throwing millions at *player*" news reports. Essendon is throwing a million at Dusty because they're desperate. I don't believe for a second that they're finals-worthy or have the depth that their fans seem to think they have. They're going to start feeling the pinch of last year for a number of years yet. They need to recruit and draft very aggressively. Their current list can't cut it. North seems to be putting all of its eggs in one basket. It knows it can't afford to crash and draft slowly so it's going for the big guns. Richmond will be regretting having thrown so much at Prestia and Caddy. They will lose Dusty. No chance he stays if they can't get to at least within 80% of the best offer.

Carlton is actually alright. A lot of upside imo and I think they're well coached. I hate Norf much more than Caaaaaaarlton.

IMO we're the fourth-best side in the comp, performance wise, behind Adelaide, GWS and Bulldogs (who are actually having a very similar season to us). We're one game off fourth. I still don't rate Geelong, beyond Selwood and Dangerfield they have a sizeable gap of talent. Adelaide can plug some holes and they had a bad fortnight but you can't write them off, and they're probably the best-performing interstate side on the MCG. Richmond are pushovers, the Perth teams won't last into the season, and the gap between Port's best and worst is probably the largest in the league (yes, greater than ours). Their percentage however keeps them are likely finalists. We're 5-5 without KP players. IMO, Freo and Richmond will drop out of the current top 8. Possibly WC as well. From last year, North, Sydney, Hawthorn are out. Port will take one spot. That leaves 2 additional spots. I know we lost to them but in the long run we're better than both Perth teams and Richmond. We'll play finals.

Spot on for me.

84-13 since the 7 minute mark of the third.

I got KFC at half time bevause I was depressed. Thinking a family pizza post game to celebrate.

Sack Goodwin.

Hannan just looks natural.

God damn it, Vince.

So we're in the same situation we've been in against Freo, Hawthorn, and North. One amazing quarter where we close down a big lead. Another winnable position. Once again put to the test.

Why?

This is the fourth game now where Goodwin's coaching and our leadership is on display. Big test.

Can already call it. Suns to have a 4-5 goal lead at the last break, we fight back and lose by a goal. Bookmark that [censored].

Fancy celebrating like that when you're down by 4 goals. Drinking our own bath water. Bunch of spuds.

They are two players down in the backline...and we still turn it over. They have underrated GC.

This is insipid. Time to start questioning Goodwin's coaching credentials. Leaders have been pitiful. Gold Coast's transition out of defense has been disgusting. [censored] filthy right now.

Very disappointing. We are playing lazy football in second gear.

LOL

Pitiful tackling urgency.

OMG!

Lewis in second gear. He's had a very average last few weeks.

3 inside 50s, 2 goals. Melbourne? Long, high balls to a congested forward line against the wind.

There's your quintessential dumb football goal.
