hardtack

I have to admit to tipping the Hawks for this, but was very happy to see the Cats get up in the way that they did... brilliant and such a hard team, which makes it all the more impressive considering the reputation for hardness the Hawks have. And to think Bomber Thompson was on the verge of getting the boot before it all came together for them and that there were whispers of Hawkins being directed to the trade table just a couple of years ago. This gives me hope for us.

That says more about you than it does Selwood.

Well, I for one would love to have a Selwood or two in our team.

You're fighting a losing battle here Sue...the populist view on Demonland says that if Eddie's involved, then regardless of what it is, he cannot be trusted. I'm with you on this as our present circumstances are exceptional and unfortunately we are in no position to pick and choose. So rather than put our pride ahead of an almost certain fall, why not hear him out.

Yep, just got to love our supporters.

Thing is, Still Waiting has provided no support for his "facts" and it seems he may be the only poster here who is aware of any consideration the Doggies may have given to EnergyWatch.

OD, I'm thinking of taking out a lease on a cryogenic storage unit. Suggest you might want to give that some consideration as well.

Magner 6 Clark 5 Jones 4 (he would have had 5 if he hadn't staged for the free that led to his 2nd goal - disappointing) Dunn 3 Bate 2 McDonald 1

4 or 5 players and 17 or 18 passengers - pathetic!

Jones and Magner (and to an extent McDonald) have done their bit.

134

I am a supporter of over 5 decades standing and have staunchly defended this team's performances for a long time now. I have always looked for positives, but after today's phoned in performance, I am starting to believe that I was wrong and that the naysayers are right... I am ready to throw in the towel!!!

Lay off the umpires for a while... West Coast put themselves in a position to get the benefit of the doubt, while I soft excuses for players do nothing. Most of the frees have been warranted and as much as I like him, Jones' staging for the free to get his 2nd goal, was a very very poor effort! We simply do not deserve anything better than the free kick count we currently have.

Rubbish!! We have played soft football and they are throwing themselves at everything... they deserve most of the frees they have won... we have deserved very little.

Umpiring for the most part is fine... it's the Dees who are a disgrace!

Jones again responsible for getting the ball out of defence to enable that goal.

Finally Clark scores.

Unfortunately, it IS fair!

and to keep the balance, Green gives away another for a high tackle.

Our defence must give away more frees than any other defence in the comp... and by that I mean Frawley and Garland in particular.

Thank god for Nathan Jones!!

Frawley is really starting to [censored] me off!

Would love to see a stat on the number of frees we have given away for high tackles that quarter.

How many times do we have to get freed for high tackles before the players learn to tackle the body????? Bail managed it twice in a couple of minutes!
