Hey Z... it looks like there will be a few guys playing for the ants next week.

Really annoying how we constantly drop these "easy" games. Something is very wrong if the team can't handle to be favorites.

There's no spirit, no fight. Content to be a 7-5 team rather than shooting for eliteness. Players giving interviews and getting ahead of themselves.

not pretenders. We can beat anyone, problem is mentally getting up each week. We have a pattern established, first 5mins you can predict our result.

This is a lot like the Hawks game. The last quarter of the previous week disguised the rot.

We have some very, very average sides as our bogey teams. It's embarrassing. No wonder nobody takes us seriously.

7 - 5 to Lindsay Thomas, wow....

North will be six and six.

Why are we pretenders?

Walls has knifed our bottom four.

Hadley, Browne, Joseph and Robinson.

Ratts' pack is delivering

Names these players as positives in that article.

Walls is dirty on them. :lol:

10 goals from turnovers...

And how many goals from dodgy free kicks?

Also seems that our forward only works if all 3 three Amigos are playing. Seems that Carlos is struggling atm.

Who's the last player to kick a bag like this against us?

We have a massive case of getting ahead of ourselves.
Embarrassing performance.
Disgraceful.

The Normal One · **Joined:** Mon Apr 06, 2009 8:35 pm **Posts:** 20076

7 goals

Lindsay Thomas taking the piss is the definition of embarassment :oops:

Perhaps we need to turn over 5-6 players every after every second win.

Either we don't have enough talent or something else is up. We can't have the talent but lack the guts, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Something is not quite right. :confused:

Joseph and Russell well and truly got shat on, especially AJ. Armfield was rusty coming back and Thornton doesn't have an attacking bone in him. Can't wait to get Lucas, Bower, Henderson and McLean in ASAP!!

We are not pretenders, we are a side that were expected to finnish 5-8 and we will.

Continue to play like we did tonight and we won't play finals.

Just when you think we've turned the corner, another terrible loss against a side we really should beat.

Not a once off either. Too big a gap between our best and our worst = pretenders. Why settle for 5-8 when you can push for top 4?
