I really wasn't being critical, just stating a fact, I understand that these players have some learning to do, If we can get less players going missing, and lets face it, lots did last week, the better we will be, I really like the fact we are discussing minor parts of the set up and not throwing our hands up in disgust (like the past few years). I see a great light, but AFL is about being involved for the whole game.

Really annoyed by the write up on the game on the AFL website, obviously a crow supporter, I thought we had a real dip today and the margin flattered the Crows, however and a big however, we rreally should have won that, players went missing in crucial times to point where I thought they must be injured, I point the finger squarely at watts, Vanders, kent, Tyson, Salem....It was left to the usual warriers, McD, Garland,Jones et al. Stop the drift in concentration and we win that one...Man that was really winable.

I believe we will put up a better show against the Crows

That's an excuse, we were just beaten by a much more talented side, which are starting to get their act together. The lower clubs can never be expected to compete with a club that has been given so many concessions, AFL know that it HAS to work in Western Sydney if they are to save face, They have invested a lot of money to ensure it works. We cannot begin to compete with those odds.FACT!!!!

WEll I can't blame him for being frustrated, I felt like punching the ball away too and I was 700kms away

And Billy the KId at full forward

What amazed me was the lack of daring, last week we took the game on a ran, if we had of done that, these guys are young and throve on confidence, we gave them that confidence and from then on the game was over

You can't say that Dawes exactly had good service from his midfielders, why does everyone always blame the forwards when we get beaten, struth the ball didn't enter inside 50 much in the last half and yet it's Dawes's fault. What about DYson, Lumumba Jonesd et al?

This will be the understatement of the season, but there is a vast gap between the talent of GWS and the talent of teams like MFC, don't jump off quite yet, GWS are going to be a scary team in the next few years, they just showed what happens when you give a team so many number one draft options (for two years running) and then let them top up with the likes of Patfull and Griffen. This team is a 10 goal better side than Gold Coast.Thanks AFL for making it so much harder for the lower clubs to climb

Reality bus

Well it's hard to blame Dawes when the midfield is getting smashed....Blame VInce, VIney, Garlett, Kent, Jones Tyson.....Don't blame the forwards

They are just so slow

why are we just standing around watching

That was insipid effort to keep that in the forward line. We are moving the ball way too slow, what happen to the run run run from last week\

As if I care but scores are level in the swans ess game, maybe the peptides are wearing off

Thanks I'll stop re re refreshing the AFL website

I forget when do the teams get announced?

You know I tried to put that spin on it too, but goi shouted down by everybody. If the second half doesn't improve however I will be shouting myself down too Gawny will make the difference in the second halt

I'm more disappointed at how many times we are handballing to a player in trouble

Cmon guys, how often do we play with the other team parks the bus as must as these guys. I think they are doing ok

WE have had in our forward fifty for all the game nearly. I give them some slack due to have 18 opposition players in the same space. Tell me what we are doing wrong

It's a practice match, time to get to know the game plan etc etc. Foot skills ok. I don't expect silky skills this early. They have stacked the backline

Stop Trolling. We don't look so bad. 2 pretty ordinary decisions, We most times are first to the ball

Dermie I can handle, but Shaw is a Shawker (see what i did then?)

Hogan.....He's gunna be something
