PRO:

-Curnow
-Murphy
-Warnock
-Jamison
-Waite
-Kreuzer will be back

CON:

-Collins
-Hampson (no impact up front)
-Henderson (no impact and too slow)
-Fumbles (Do we rub butter on our hands before the game?)
-Handballs (WHY DO WE ALWAYS STUFF UP 3 ON 1's??!?!??)
-Hardness (Are we actually soft? Or is Ratten not a good enough motivator?)

- WE HAD AN EXTRA PLAYER, THERE WERE NO GOALS FROM B.S. FREES, AND WE STILL COULD NOT MANAGE TO WIN


Bring on Easter

Pros;

Curnow
Warnock
Murph and Judd
Yaz sublime
Jamo nice
Duigan - maybe quieted the doubters?
White - played better than I thought he could. Well done.
Scotland

Cons;

Collins - just has to go back and get some confidence. Poor bloke has walked intot he two biggest games of his career up front. He'll need a spell to get his mojo back.
Hammer - I think we all know what's going to happen when Kreuzer is back.
Hendo - hopefully that's just a bit of rust, because we need more than that. Stupid play a few times, like crashing his temmate in a pack rather than protecting him.
betts - If he plays next week it's a massive indictment on Ratts - he said Betts needed to lift and that didn't happen. There are blokes working their backsides off int he Bullants who deserve a go.

And just a general con for stupid decisions. It's games like today which show us whether we've taken a step forward - I don't think we have. A team focused and ruthless would have won that game running away.

Pros
- Duigan: Best game of his short career at the Blues. kept a cool head down back.
- Curnow: What a find this guy is.
- Murphy: Stood up when it counted
- Simpson: As above
- Yarran: Great game, looks so much more settled at HB.
- Scotland: Was solid and like Duigan kept a cool head.
- White: I'm eating my words about him. well done young fella.
- Umpires: I thought they let the game flow well.
- Didn't lose

Cons
- Collins: Yeah OK he needs time blah blah but he missed two very gettable goals, that one early in the third would have put us up by over 2 goals and given us momentum, and the Scum scored at least 2 goals from his turnovers.
- Hampson: I knew Megan Gale would ruin his footy career.
- Henderson: Rusty and really struggled, will cut him a bit of slack. Did not deserve the Bronx cheers though.
- Betts: Was he even there?
- Walker: Not how he played but why didn't they bring him on until so late! Fresh quick legs and a forward target WHO CAN PLAY IN FRONT AND LEAD!
- Our foward line in general: We get so much of the ball yet we can't do anything because our forward structure is appalling. Our forwards need to play IN FRONT more and LEAD more. They play from behind or in a pack and as such we struggle to mark in our f50. Once we can settle our forward structure we will be a much better side.
- Didn't win.

Agree, some shouldn't have internet access either, I have never been more ashamed of people on this site then right now, we talk about Richmond supporters being bad but they have nothing on us.
Yes we should have won, yes we were stupid, yes Collins was just horrible and Hampson and Hendo weren't much better, but get some @#$%&! perspective people, it's only round four, we played a team in form and we were flat. It is a long season, you can act like a bunch of cauliflower if we lose next week.

no, you react to each game, then move on, not sit and wait, scared to be involved - what the @#$%&! is the point of that. I pay to be emotionally involved, not to sit and ponder like some dead flower in a rocking chair. Emotionally that was a shit game.

Intellectually who gives a @#$%&! about football. I'd rather read a book.

Read a book then, make it non fiction so you can learn something, cry over a ten goal loss not a draw when we played badly

Pros
- Yarran. Andrew McLeod-esque
- Curnow. Great find.
- Murphy
- Warnock
- Jamison
- Waite
- 1 week closer to Kreuzer's return plus quality players like Lucas, Bower, Ellard, McLean in Bullants

Cons
- Collins. Our most influential player for all the wrong reasons. Looks like a slow version of Brett Peake.
- Gibbs. Where art thou when the whips are cracking?
- Hampson.
- Henderson. First game back so need to cut him a little slack.
- Betts. Needs to go back to the Bullants.

Its the big picture
KK Who cant see it

We have the wrong senior coach
He should go now
The longer we wait the further we go backwards.
The team we played may be a bunch of cauliflower but atleast they set the wheels in motion winter time last year.
Sticks will sit back and say " she will be right mate. ratts is going ok
"

no you react your way, leave me to react my way. I find it funny that you should be disturbed how others react. let them. Its why we get so many people going through the turnstyles.

As to your silly non fiction comment - I guess those who are emotionally frozen will never understand fiction as a means to learn new things rather than things they think they already know.
