Evidently we won't be winning many games this year. I would dearly love this week to be one of them.

Can't see it happening though.

How is our form crap?

Our losses in 3 games have total 30 something points. We lead one of the flag favourites for 3 quarters and matched it with Geelong. That's not to bad is it?

Some people just have no effen clue.


Our form is good. Overall we have played good footy for the majority of games.
My problem is that we just haven't wanted the wins enough. Each time the opposition went the extra gear, we just either couldn't (which I seriously doubt) or didn't go with them. Our willingness to win at all costs isn't & hasn't been there.
Having said that, I'm worried this group will drop their heads shortly and get polaxed. These next 2 weeks will be interesting indeed, if not anything else the mentality of this group will be on show for all to see. Drop the eagles game by a small margain again and boy oh boy - wow wee.....

I wonder how many goals we'll give away from defensive errors this week. It's almost like we enjoy stuffing ourselves over back there.
Over to you AJ and Davies... Do your thing!!
Oh, and watch Selwood, Hams and the rest of the cheating duckers win free after free.. It was 5 goals they got directly from free kicks when we played them last year as I recall.

We get free kicks too, we just can't kick straight when it really matters.

With respect,,........ i dissagre.

Our form is terrible. Footy is played over 4 qtrs. Not 2 good qtrs, 1 terrible one and one where things didn't go our way.

There are so many players on this team that need to pull their finger out cause at the rate we're going and the "Form" that we're carrying........... finals is off the cards! Forget it.

..does salty Malty not rate Knockers..??.. ..i don't usually pay too much heed to coach interviews, but when talking about Krooz replacement he mentions either Levi or Knockers.. ..i would have figured with Krooz down, Knockers would be the obvious [and almost only] genuine replacement to play the main ruck..

..but it sounded like he might consider moving Hampson into 1st ruck, with Rowe/Levi/Knockers as fwd ruck relief.. ..i know MM likes his rucks to play with a bit of hunger/mongrel, so perhaps he thinks Knockers can be too timid/gentle at times [which i think]..

For team balance, it wouldn't surprise me if Brock Maclean is left out of the side and Ellard or Curnow come in.

I'm not 100% convinced Warnock will get a call up this week either.

But I do think we must play Laidler this week. The eagles have some tall timber to deal with and we need all the help we can get.

I'm not as confident as I've been for the last two games. I have a sinking feeling about this on .


Can't see us leaving Warnock out and playing without a ruckman

Are you referring to Eagles supporters in the carpark after the game?

Probably doesn't think he can go with Cox aroud the ground.
Bring him in and play him a kick behind play.
Block their forwards lead and some extra height for the defence.

We don't run hard enough. Subiaco will test that more than any other ground.

All about balance.
Had have Waite been up and running early, we may have just seen Warnock from the get go.

Unless there are some unexpected weather situations about at Subiaco late in the week, Warnock should play.
