He aint worth it and we let Bett's go to fit him in.

Mick should have just adopted him and saved us the cash.

Come back Eddie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't give two hoots about Eddie as a forward pocket player was never going to take us to the promised land

however, I do care about that extra draft pick which would have been handy with our current predicament

our disasters with both McLean and Warnock should have been enough for us to make the right decision

We really missed a crumbing forward tonight, Menzel had a bad night.
It kills me to see Eddie playing well, then to top it off Jacobs wins the medal for BOG.
Decided at the last minute not to go to the game, turned out pretty much as expected.
We are not that good, either are Collingwood.
Looks like a good draft pick coming up this year, hope we dont stuff it up.

Pretty sure I said I was happy for MM to make the decisions on who goes and who stays. Pretty sure I reckon Mick wanted him gone because he wouldn't role through the mifield. That's what coaches do...remember???

He made his choice............Eddie OUT, Son Of Mick IN.

What pick would we have landed for Eddie? Got any idea?

Supposing for a moment we got another pick around 12...to 20... how do you believe that another Lucas Watson Bootsma Cripps Grigg Hampson Bower Russell was going to be more valuable?

Big call by the boss and he [REDACTED] it.

Come back Eddie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The big (and stupid) call was giving three year deals to Waite and Carrazzo, which prevented us from being able to improve our list.

Instead of being a pig headed arse and blaming Mick, why don't you cast your blame at our "List Management Committee".

Pies came out firing on all cylinders early but we found a way to make a game of it at least. Its a hard loss especially against Collingwood but we were right in it for a while there. We've had a rotten year and its looking pretty hopeless at the minute. 2014 is cooked and I dare say some hard choices will be made by seasons end. All in all not a thumping at the hands of the old foe, I thought at least we do give it our all, its just we're in the horrors as far as skills and decision making is concerned. Do we just go for rock bottom now and secure something decent at the draft table? Strangely now that the season is well and truly over I'll wager we'll see some improvement in the boys.

With no danger of winning any time in the next 3-5 years.

It's all about the process though...process of losing.....we've been there and done that all too recently.

We are [REDACTED]. For a good while it would seem too.

Someone on BigFooty last week put it very well I reckon when they said that if X is our opponent's ability, we always seem to play to an X-1 level.

If you think betts is better than thomas. Thats your perogative. I dont. If its a mistake. It cost us 200k
but dont forget to mention everett or docherty tonight or reincarnation of rowe
and just to jog your memory who gave up pick 11 for 60 games in 5 seasons mclean, or let jacobs go?

You do realise Collingwood kicked for goal worse than us. They improve their kicking by 5% and that's a 6-7 goal loss. Collingwood kept us in it and tried to hand it to us but we crapped ourselves. See Murph's miss and Hendo's.

You mean the midfield that Mick inherited at the end of 2012 which was ranked 3rd in the league? that midfield? Kicking it to the second best forwards in the league?

At the start of the 2013 season Hawthorns midfield was ranked 9th in the league - the main reason they lost the 2012 GF to the Swans. Do you recall that GF Mr S?? Where the Swans midfield kicked 7 or 8 goals whilst the Hawks midfield didnt kick any?

The Hawks knew that problem needed fixing so they recruited the best midfield and stoppages coach in the Australia - THE GREAT BRETT RATTEN - took him 1 pre season and 22 games to set them up for a finals campaign where they BEAT their nemesis team Geellong and also the Swans and then Freo in the Final. Put the last jigsaw in the puzzle in Lake who took the monster forwards and he ended up with two medals in September

CHAMPION DATA 2012

CARLTON
Defenders 14th
Midfield/Rucks 3rd
Forwards 2nd
LIST QUALITY 9th

I wonder if Mr S believes that Primus and the gang and a washed up Williams, left Hinkley with a good midfield and list quality at the end of 2012???

PORT ADELAIDE
Defenders 18th
Midfield/Rucks 12th
Forwards 17th
LIST QUALITY 17th

7.10 to 9.8 after quarter time (17 scoring shots each). First quarter killed us. Collingwood kick straight in the first and it's game over then and there.
