Only one is accountable, no guts no glory.

In the context of the opening comment above about already leading inside 50’s and scoring shots your opinion although correct is not the point and I’d be surprised if people think the people missing the goals tonight (Cripps, Williams, Newnes, etc) don’t want it, need to run harder, etc.

Having more shots and missing is not mental. It’s not wanting it. It’s a lack of skill.

You are always more skilful when you are confident

Reality check.

If you watched Port last week v Richmond, even an injury depleted side of that calibre this week against us is a measuring stick.

I don’t wanna say gulf at this stage, but...

Are we that yet? No.
Could we be? Yes.
Will we be? Hard to say; I really, really hope so.

Lots of work to do this week. Lions will destroy us riding high for another reality check next week otherwise.

Haha you guys keep changing your point. Wanting it is different to confidence. But i still get what you are saying and you could be correct. Hard to tell.

not sure what Teague actually stands for. we continue year after year of diabolical skill errors, we aren't hard contested ball beasts; we don't hustle defensively or hunt to tackle; we don't hurt teams when we have the opportunity; we don't run hard both ways; we don't play with flair; we never take games on until its effectively over; we pick the same old same old players every week when you know what you're going to get.

at best we're mid-table and yet we still don't risk picking a few newbies (Parks aside) and let them go. If we had Butters, Rozee and Dursmaa they'd still be propping up the twos.
Walsh is the only kid that's come through.
I could handle losing a few if I knew what we were trying to actually do. @#$%&! frustrating and Teague needs to park the bullshit and make some statements verbally or at the selection table.

This says so much about us

If we finish bottom 4, which is a possibility if we don’t get players back from injury, what do you do?

Do you clean out the coaches, or players or both.

There’s a few people with a lot to play for

Pretenders
We were outworked offensively and defensively by a side who played hungry
A few late goals made it look a lot more respectable than it was
Port waltzed out of half back and stoppages and always had free men. We slowly edged the ball up the ground and never really looked likely. All our goals were scrounged but that’s not going to cut it against a good side. Didn’t see any slick ball movement
Goal kicking poor
Outcouched as well. At one point we had McGovern behind the ball with Weiters and Jones. H off and Cas in the ruck. Kicking it forward to no one
Disappointing night. Not many positives. Saad, Walsh and Weiters had a go. Levi was better than he has been this year. Not much else to like

I mean, it's been established pretty early on that is what 2021 is going to be about. The worst bit is going to be when the refuse to ownit, drop the cat at 298 games then sneak him to 300 as a medical sub.

I bet he would run through the banner too.

My God I wish we could kick straight.

There is not a single player I trust with a set shot.

Maybe. We shall see. It's not all Eddies fault. It's the culmination of a number of incompetent components of the team, the coach and coaching group and the list management and likely a number of other things. I reckon Eddie is conflicted. He hates seeing what's happening but he can't really do much to change it. He would have a very sour feeling being carried to such a mile stone with the knowledge this is his last year of footy and he won't be playing finals footy.

Give Port their due .... Well drilled and beat Tigers last week. No premiership but did finish top last year.

We had a shocker ..... Just wondering whether that game last week against GC took a lot out of them (and GC in their game vs Dogs). It was played in the dry in wet weather muggy conditions. Both teams looked exhausted last week.

Stop being rational! We lost badly against a top 4 team, it's outrageous!

Having said that, our execution let us down as did having no forward line system.

So true.
We were saying recently that it would be really hard to pick one of our players who you would trust to kick a goal after the siren to win the game.
I can't think of one.
