Ok ok call me glass half full today. Maybe I only feel this way because I didn't watch the game. But I've watched every game up to today. Maybe we aren't too bad. Maybe just young? Maybe just inexperienced? Since round 11 these are the half time margins: 4 up on Port 12 up on Suns 3 up on Dogs 10 behind the Tiges 15 behind Freo ......let's skip the hawks game shall we? 10 behind North 15 behind the Pies 12 behind the Lions 47 up in the Dees 5 behind GWS So that's a maximum negative margin of 15!!! Maybe our kids just get tired and/or can't sustain maximum effort. |

Plus our side has got progressively worse as the seasons gone on. 4/4 to go and we can start looking to 2016. |

we certainly aren't as bad as what many are suggesting. I'd expect a substantial improvement next year 2016 - return of murphy, thomas, gibbs, graham + cripps/buckley/boekhurst/docherty with another preseason + curnow will give us a reasonable starting midfield. That will automatically close the gap on many games, especially early in the season. |

Love it when our highlight of the football year is NOVEMBER It will need to be for the next 2 or 3 years. Unfortunately that's how the system works |

Load up with top 20 18yo picks over the next two years then maybe target free agents and trade in 3-4 years. So expect us to be 4 years behind but track GWSs development. So in 4 years time, expect us to beat nth Melbourne or richmond by 80 points in round 23 to finish 10th |

Really? Negative town in less than a page? The kids can improve. People like Gibbs and Graham help out in the middle. Casboults kicking has already straightened up. Maybe we finish 3rd or 4th last? Baby steps. |

Imagine our side without Kreuzer, Henderson, Yarran, Judd, Bell and Menzel. We will be lucky to be competitive next season. |
