I don't remember losing to Richmond? 103 rings a bell

i am with cazz ie 60% between the ears.

every other side has injuries. every other side has had a long year.

3 losses from the last 4 hasn't been a surprise. disappointing yes, but no surprise. when it comes to the really big games, the must win games - we seem to falter. to get found out by the opposition.

we default our blame to a player or the MC. and sure we miss a big guy or a small guy...whatever, but so does everyone.

we have 6 testing weeks ahead of us. we need to pick ourselves up, dust off and go again. 22 men against 22 men.

if we do not win 5 of the next 6, then i would be looking at this home and away season as no better than the previous two years ie regardless of games comparison.

Fitness is the only logical reason I can see....in the early part of the season we had players out but still performed and ran games out....I reckon we peaked at 3 qtr time of the Sydney game....since then we have been flat and have been struggling to run out games....


Yep i reckon this would be close. Teams have different draws and aim to peak at different times of the season. They load their training with the draw in mind. I reckon we came up against the dogs at their peak and the WC also and at the time we were loading up for Collingwood + the next 4 before loading up again for the finals. I dont expect us to win our last 2 games around the bye unless the saints have a bad patch and start tanking which is possible due to them peaking over the last month.

I think training loads have a lot to do with the return of big shifts in momentum during games. Similar to the start of the season. The games over this last weekend were unbelievable.

Collingwood are the only team able to manage winning while loading (dont make me past in that email about their draw again). Filthy dogs.

We will smash the dons.

To lose this week would be unacceptable if we're seriously looking at top 4.

The Eagles are already in effect; half a game ahead of us.

bumped into Jamo in Collins St in the city today. Still had an obvious limp. Asked him how long away he was, indicated 3 weeks. Seems like the Freo game he may be back.

North beating the WB yesterday showed that we are still mentally fragile. We get easily frazzled when a side "comes to play" as the Doggies did. Having said that, the past is the past. HTFU mentally and go and hunt every side for the remainder of the year as though your life depended on it blues. No reason why we can't win our last 6 games. Be bold, be psychotic and be footy smart.

THIS. Getting a bit sick of the excuses - no Jamo or Waite (who has a full team in), can't play at Etihad (could earlier in the season). If I hear much more, like Terry Wallet, "I'll spew up". Like 99 says, HTFU or get the flower out.

Watching on the Telly(WA boy) and it looks like we are playing as individuals. This off season they all need to do something truly spirit building to ge some camaraderie back. Do some of these guys just not like each other or something?!! There's more tumbleweed than support atm.

Just how it looks on telly, that's all.

Earlier in the season, we were tackling ferociously and sharing the ball and running; pinspotting passes to our team mates; and we had Jameson and Waite firing as well as Walker and Hampson.

I'm well tommi ... supposed to be summer here, at least it didn't rain today!

Still a lot of snow around the mountains, so the black bears are more prolific and hungry than is usual at this time of year.

Hope that c..sucker TV is going well! :wink:
