Awesome, I cant wait!

I hope Ratts uses his plan B against Melbourne...

Should we rest players and just get the 4 points or go 100% flat out for a big % booster ?

I would love for Melbourne to get up and win next week, just to completely shake the place...

Yes, because most of us here actually live in the real world and tell it like it is and are sick to death of sugarcoating the team.

Sad thing is I have no confidence that losing next week (and the one after) would change anything.

This.

You beat me to it. For anything to really get done, we need to lose to these spuds. Then there will be heads rolling. (should be rolling already)

Absolutely disgusted about today. Murphy out, Carrazzo out, Laidler out, Waite out, Warnock out. We are flowered for the weeks after the Dees and Port.

Hmmmmmm. I'm actually gonna aggree with this.
I'm hoping for a Melbourne win. Cause anything else would just be a blip and a temporary fix.


We have MAJOR issues here.............. a soft win against a shit side like mlebourne wont proove anything.

Agree with the previous posters. Although I think Port are more chance against us than Melbourne.

Melbourne might see this as a chance to rest players...

We have to give those players who have been knocking on the door for selection a game next week. You know all of our good young players, what are their names again?

Let's wait to the season ends before assassinating the coach, players, recruiting dept, waterboys, boot studders. We are in a hole but the season ain't a sprint. We miss top 4 and lose to top 4/8 teams then there's a compelling reason for change.

It seems we have holes in our development process and we obviously messed up in our preseason somehow. Structures look poor but they do whenever you lose.

We lack confidence and belief- that's everyone's fault, but it suggests the players are trying to follow the plan and it's just not good enough. Now that is the case it's time to find another plan.
