QFT.

Treading water gets you nowhere in this game.

Still, I have faith that it could be an aberration.

Would you stand aside after you won 13 last year and have one crap loss so far this year?

Perspective not a word in the dictionary?

McLean no impact again.
WTF is Walker doing playing on Gumblton at times???? Seriousy Ratts, why don't you just drop him if you don't like him.
Double WTF is Russell doing taking kickouts?
Gibbs needs to work harder to inject himself into a game.
Pagans paddock is not a permanent forward line tactic.
206 is poo. Surely we can try him deep fwd at times though.
Lucas had a good debut.
Ray Chamberlain is a mong.
Arnfield is very limited, not sure he is up to it.
The players and coaches should all be feeling Eddies pain and I hope they take something from it.

Brock carried the back injury into the game lost the dominance in the middle

Poor form - pressure on Ratts this is a shocking display - skills woeful

He has to start picking the best players - Hadley has to come in - game is won in the midfield and we need more than one extractor - Gibbs and Murph are outside players

Beaten in the contested possesions their first gamer had 14

nearly a 100 possessions different

That was the most dissapointing match I have ever had the displeasure of viewing.

I have been on the fence for a while with Ratts but after getting suckered by the Albino yet again frankly I am sick of it!

For Christ's sake does Ratten like being his bitch?

I am just absolutely gutted ... just a pathetic effort. How in the world did we lose that? Everyone who plays well against us was out ... geez I do not even have the words to write how I am feeling at the moment.

We have real issues!

Being a drama queen is much more fun, apparently.

As soon as he started that crap about "I've made a conscious effort not to look back on history this week" etc, I knew we were in trouble. And what did Knights say ?? Something about being confident we can win.

Gee, I know which bloke has the better mindset. Ratts lack confidence, simple as that, and it rubs off on his team. If he can't rectify it, then we are going nowhere with him as coach.

Jim we win or are competitive cause of individual efforts, not game plan or coaching... Never said it before but come on mate, open ur eyes...

Be interested to see how Ratts coaches next week... Are we going to play tempo football again.....

Cmon Jim .... this was against Essendon* ... sorry but enough is enough ... we could not have a better chance than tonight to beat them .. instead 0-6 ... skills were absolutely pathetic today!

At last someone talking sense...

We just dont seem to have killer instinct, instead wait for something to happen.

Why cant we get out from the start and pull away - bloody hell

I have. We had our first crappy loss after a finals appearance last year. I'll actually wait until we stuff up a few times more, not once. I actually have perspective.

Suppose if you give away your only productive forward.......

Worst game I have watched in a long time......one more goal should kill us off!

Perspective I have Jim, perhaps not as much patience as some : )
I'll continue to find it hard to understand why were not better than we are?
Anyways bring on next week

The trouble is, there is always an excuse. 5 goals up in that final and fluffed it. Had our chances to beat Brissy last week but stuffed it up again. Made a B grade Essendon* team look ok. We just lack skill, pace, hardness and a good coach.......is all

That is a very good question.
