Tex should've given away the captaincy after last year. reckon he's gone downhill ever since he was appointed.

No sign of livestock on the plane.

Hore certainly was, asked him about the calf, said she'll be right.

Has always amused me how, in AFL world you can't give the perfectly reasonable explanation of a massive injury list for poor form. You're just making excuses

Due diligence on Lewis LOL

Good response, but I do wish people would stop puting KK in their best 22, he hasn't shown that yet.

It was the lack of effort that did it for me today, they were hitting the ball at pace and we were just jogging around chasing tail. Where was last weeks effort? Might as well forfeit next weeks game if thats the best we can bring. Trouble is I've booked to go up.

At least I can understand this post.

Tongue in cheek!

No effort = no result Just disgusted.

By the side that managed 38 points against the Hawks

Losing streaks become that way because of reasons. Usually the side just doesn't play the ground well or doesn't like the ground for some reason. If it was that easy it wouldn't become a losing streak in the first place.

Thanks to the fact we haven't had Nichols yet. I thought he was meant to retire after last year.

Yes, if we get to 5-7 , I did the ladder predictor, and we finished 6th. Fingers crossed.

Hope if Tim Smith doesn't come up his replacement is Preuss. Weideman so far this season the same intensity as OMac.

Usually works the other way.

GWS play it worse.

FFS

Have to disagree, as long as we kick straight. If Hawks can beat them easily we certainly must be a big chance.

GWS, it's one thing beating up on carlton but the week before they could only score 38 points at the G against Hawthorn. If we're on we can beat them.

Many good points being made here on both sides of the discussion, but I think it's a bit more than just home team bias. I think there is a lot of confirmation bias behind some decisions. That is team x is a top side and expected to win the game so is more likely to get the 50/50 decisions. of course it is worse when some decisions are just plainly incorrect. But it also happens with individual players eg. champion player Gary has been caught with the ball, but better be sure, lets give him a second or two longer to get rid of the ball. It happens all the time.

Think the half back line needs to be Fritsch Frost Hore

Preus for Keilty, Milkshake can't be replaced so we'll have to settle for ANB. Oscar some terrible efforts against Hawks, but thought he was better this week, actually showed some intensity at times. Won't be dropped. Not sure who replaces Hibberd

Think some people on here are missing the huge amount of work Trac has been doing on the inside.

Think he just needed to get used to the higher level, and since he's still only played a handful of games, writing him off especially after the past few weeks is ridiculous.
