It’s time to open the Dawe!

At least the guys in the twos can’t complain that there’s not enough opportunities this season. Its up to them to stand up if they really want it.

Petty has been enormous. im in awe if his efforts , fighting spirit and great courage.

Our biggest problem has been and still is connecting with our forwards. The delivery is woeful. 3 times yesterday in a 5 minute period we kicked straight to Cox (twice), and Darcy Moore. This has been a common thread in all 3 of our losses. Long bomb panicked kicks and ignorance of shorter options. At one stage Sparrow had Langdon 30 meters ahead of him , but he chose a long kick to a 3 on one where we were easily out marked.

We definitely don’t look as hungry or as intense as last year . For those that say we are just cruising through and will explode in the second half of the year, I really hope so, because the current mindset is not that of a premiership team.

Losing three games in a row at the MCG is a worry too. No home ground advantage there.

The fumbles today had to be seen to be believed

I just hope TMac is back for finals. In the meantime it’s Weeds last chance to prove himself over the next 6 weeks. Backline will be fine once Mays back.

The break will do the players good. Langdon not quite at his running best yet, and a week off to recover from that rib injury some more will help. Trac still a bit flat after the flu Niggles to Gawn and Petty Lever rests his foot

It was like watching the same match three weeks a row. Getting out marked by taller stronger bodies is killing us , May out, TMac and an injured Gawn today

6. Gus 5. Clarry 4. Viney 3. Petty 2. Hibberd 1. Jordon

In May, Bedford, Weideman, Rivers out- Turner, Sparrow, Harmes, M.Brown

What ever it was we had, it looks like we’ve lost it now. Terrible decision making. No forward connection, again. Out bodied in marking contests. We need another team dinner.

Same thing happens every week long bombs into our forward line straight to the spare in defense ffs!!!

Turner is definitely a McGovern type. Lump of a lad with natural football ability’s. Disco is very popular amongst the lads too.

Negativity around the game, is definitely one of the contributing factor to small crowds in my opinion. People just get sick of it. Im not talking about the punch up story specifically as you inferred, because numbers were low before this incident

No wonder there’s no crowds with these gutter journos supposedly promoting the game.

Good common sense presser by Goody. In hindsight we should have suspended Melksham for a week as well, just for the optics and keeping the hounds at bay. He wouldn’t have played any way

I hope Caro goes as hard at Richmond about their abysmal crowd numbers as she did at Melbourne. Lets see how vitriolic she is about the Tiges

How on earth are the media getting drip fed all this stuff?? Is the club releasing it to them, or players themselves?? Can only be one or the other right?

Media muckraking and in particular , G. Whateley, has forced their hand. I know exactly where this is heading. expect both players to get suspensions of 3 to 4 weeks plus as well as fines to the club.

Whately won’t leave this alone , he is like a dog with a bone. Wants an official AFL enquiry.

Let’s all go down to that restaurant and see if they need a hand tidying up. Any carpenters among us to help repair that front desk? I just don’t want that security footage released
