Our fortunes will turn around for sure as soon as we have different haircuts

He kicked 5 last week - he kicked 4 points this week. It happens - he had a bad day infront of goals. Again it happens, it's not that he cannot kick for goal. Maybe he felt the pressure of being the only forward that could take a mark - both deep in the forward line and out at half forward/wing! Instead of blaming Waite, maybe we ask the question on why we are using our backman (Jamison & Bower) as additional KP forwards??

WC had Darling, Kennedy and NicNat in the WET on Saturday night Top teams are all having 2 KP forwards + resting ruckman.

It's one loss. The team was flat yesterday and didn't contest nearly as well as the first three rounds.

We were Geelong and they were North Melbourne of last week.

The carrazzo tackle happened in front of me and at the time I thought it was a dirty dirty tackle. But it wont be looked at.

Nevertheless all we can do is look forward to next week.

If we can take it to Fremantle we are back in the hunt.

I thought we would be 3-1 at this stage and we are.

Roll on.

Im sure youre proud of knocking over Brissy and Tiges.. and a Collingwood in disaray.

Thats average i suppose....

Still proud being bowled over by the powerhouse Essendon* FC mate??

You dont gain anything from easy wins... you see where we are when they have to handle a challenge.

did we fight back?
Did we adapt Juanita?

How did our players respond?
How did our coaches respond?

Has this happened to us before???

Thats what youre supposed to be looking at... not part tricks against the Lions

lol

As a pessimist as i am... youre the eternal optimist.

Maybe the truth is somewhere in between... but that doesnt mean you can question me...

It makes your ridiculous personal attacks a massive giggle.

Cos you cannot look at what happened in that game.. but you can bring out all your demions and frustrations on me.

But its water off a ducks back.!!!

Cos youre uninteresting ... you have very little to add.. but i do need to remind you of what you are about in here.

So i did!!...

Keep getting a woddy over beating teams that wont be challenging for a flag this year....(including Collingwood)

and if they do.. and we dont.. its just more food for thought!!!

We should have been 4-0. End of story and no excuses.
I'm not down and out like some others, just pissed off as I felt this unfolding during the week with all the bullshit about us.
I felt un-easy when I saw the Essendon* side and certaintly we didn't help ourselves.

Gary Lyon on MMM praised Lonergan for taking Carrazzo out of the game

I agree rexy. The selection of Brock along with Curnow and slowish Duigan robbed from our strength and also contributed along with the flatness of the players to the 23 not being able to implement the gameplan.

Learn from it and move on.

I dont think we will get a win next week but the following 5 games a very winnable.

I'm watching my nephew play footy now. He is having a bit of a giggle with his opponent. Enjoy life and don't take everything so seriously.

I just can't believe we aren't going to win the April premiership now. Guttered.

Momentum and confidence

Just like Geelong should have beaten us in their premiership year of 2009, and should have beaten Essendon* in 2011.

"GIBBS."

I'm not sure on those criticising the selections. Based on the last 3 weeks and last week in particular who would you drop and who would you bring in? Jamo and Duigan weren't going to be dropped after 1 game back. Couldn't predict Carrots going down so early.



This has been happening for quite some time. It was one of Ratten's favourite stats back in 2010 when we were playing badly - that we were getting the inside 50s.

footy is about being ruthless too!!!...

The Lions did it..
The Cats would do it...!!!

Its why they were good footy sides.

The system will take care of everything after the game.. if its deemed outside of the rules.

But footy is about doing what it takes.

We used to do it all the time....when we were great!!

Feel even worse today. How did we dish That up a week after probably our best win in a long, long time?

Mentally soft.

This one hurts. Badly. A major regression yesterday compounded by injuries.

Hard to see us bouncing back this week, especially with our likely outs.

The sad reality is we will continue to be pretenders until we do not dish up performances like yesterday. Not just the loss, but the way we lost. Ugly all round.

We are not one of the great teams but we are a good one capable of a great season. Even the great teams lost games in their premiership years. We are going to lose games this year. It wont be the end of the world. We can learn from the losses and make ourselves a better team. Stick to the process we believe in and give it our best shot.

The last thing the club want to do is panic like some of the posters on this site.

Isn't the aim to be one of the "great" teams (whatever that means in the post draft years)? What if the process we believe in is not the right one? That might be the entire point.

Just because I'm offended, doesn't mean I'm wrong.

If the process we believe in is not the right one then the people in charge gave it their best shot and came up short. Wont be the first and wont be the last time thats happened but at this stage you couldn't call it either way.

Until then we have to back the plans, learn from the occasional speed hump and work like mad to make the plans bare fruit.

Yesterday proved what every person in footy has been saying all year. Contested ball is king. Win it and you more than likely win the game. We didn't win it just like the WC and dogs games last year and we lost. Not too many gameplans in AFL succeed without winning the clearances/contested ball.
