I guess I look at the games we lose like the Saints game the week before. Easy to stand out when we win. Don't get me wrong the freo & swans game he was as exciting as ever, I know the Saints tagged him but he didn't deal with it. I also know the media are going to be harsh on him if he doesn't perform

On that money & deal I'm expecting him now to step up more & he must be kicking at least a couple of goals each week & his defensive pressure has to get better. That has improved over the past few weeks but at times he still jogs around & can look for the easy handball over the top. However now I'm just glad the trade speculation will stop. Hope he has a ripping game this week.

He is a fantastic speaker. Who could forget the tributes he did for Jim & spud. I always remember 97 after balme was sacked & his back was stuffed & he got himself up to play against Richmond & we won.

I think Melbourne have beentrying to get Garry in for years. Also well done to daisy & to erin as well. Her dad was so proud of her tonight.

It's a very long deal. How do we know in 3 or 4 years he won't turn around & want to go home. It's great if he does sign but I hope down the track it doesn't cost us a Langford, Lindsay or turner down the track.

Max also said he's sick of losing to Collingwood & losing these close games.

So according to Tom, may said to gawn did you think there's only 10 seconds left. So if that's true then it's a bit overblown. Probably just not the right time to say it. Anyway the media will enjoy talking about it for awhile

So gawn said this morning he couldn't recall what may actually said, but Tom morris has come out & said he knows exactly what may said. Funny how he finds out stuff

Will have to listen to what max said this morning on mmm

That's the most frustrating thing. We stopped Elliot, hill & N daicos from having an impact & still couldn't win

The difference was especially in that final quarter the way sidebottom & pendles used the ball so well compared to Oliver and trac who butchered it. I'd love to ask trac what he was thinking when he thought that long handball would work & Clayton why he chose to kick in the pocket.

I'm pretty sure max will be on mmm in the morning so it will be interesting to hear more on what he has to say.

The thing I noticed today more is the delay in between decisions. I found today play would continue but then about 10-15 seconds later an ump would then make a decision or you notice an ump looks at another ump as if they're to scared to make a decision

I know people aren't sold on AJ but he would have crashed those packs & bought the ball down to ground today & probably would have been a bit stronger to go with Cameron or mcstay

Jonathan Brown pointed out the chase kozzie did & said he could have tackled him but pickett was more worried about putting his arms out complaining to the umpire.

Don't forget petty butchered his kick in the final term to & kicked it out on the full.

So just looking at the stat's We win the inside 50 count Win the centre clearances and stoppages Win the hit outs Just can't win the game

Last year I think we thought it would be neales swan song & today had extra meaning to it because this year he is the Australian of the year. I think many today assume he won't be here in another 12 months. But he is just amazing. And his son pushing him around the G for a lap then both teams line up for that guard of honour was so emotional. I actually think it bought calmness around the crowd & I actually had to think oh yeah there's a footy game on.

On the couch is showing our stuff ups in the final moments. My god I didn't realise how bad tracs hand pass was or Oliver butchering the out on the bounds. As Jordan Lewis said we had no composure.

I didn't realise max got called to play on with that final kick. He wasn't happy about that call either. He & may will be fine. They're grown men

Another wasted year

Our bombing into the forward line is really a major issue. When will the players realise it's not working

We kept hill & Elliot quiet which was great, but unfortunately let other pies players score to easily

Goodwins going to be on afl 360 so will be interesting to hear his views

The frustrating thing is we praticed our goal kicking at training this week
