who cares?
losing is not an option.

there are 40 odd on a list.....

they need to find a way to win

players out or in are not a reason why u lose.

as a matter of fact ... playrs should be chomping at the bit to come on and prove why theyre on an AFL list....

Tuohy was limping badly post game & again yesterday on footage they showed of him arriving at Visy on 360.

Mick mentioned in his weekly video that Graham is definitely in contention after a great game. As well as Watson, McInnes or Bootsma to take a defensive spot.

Jamo & Menzel were declared fit in the injury update on the CFC website but Mick made no mention of either of them in his video.

they couldnt even score 60 at home in a free flowing game v port

Their mids are just ok.

But they are reasonable to very good everywhere else.

They should be 4-1.

I think it will be tight.

Their kicking for goal is a weakness as well as us.

Yep.

I think they are a weakish side. Bit slow, don't tackle hard and their mids are just so so.

Have a fair spread of talent, particularly talls.

Malthouse can say what he likes but we played a different game style against the dogs.
Will it remain? Its so much more enjoyable to see the boys risk it down the corridor than that boring boundary line style

I retract my previous post. Sure looked liked we used the corridor a lot more

..mm prefers short kicks as well, we're the donkeys that just bomb.. ..but short kicks need hard work and run, players working hard to provide plenty of options..

I was in Vienna last weekend so missed the game. But my old man went and couldn't believe the difference to the team.

He said even Gibbs looked like he gave half a shit.
Why are we so inconsistent? Is it too much to ask to back that up week in, week out? I don't mind the losses so much, it's just we seem to not care some weeks.

Shattered about Bell. Really wanted him to get a good run. We are so injury ridden this year and that could be a major reason as to our form, Sure,..... but you still gotta play with heart and that's all i ask from my Blue Boys!!!!

Go out there and WANT to smash these pricks!!!!!

With Synbad (and others) on this. I think we are underdogs but we must bring grit. Remember when our lesser lights beat collingwood a couple of years ago?
We can do this.
Many players still to play to their potential: Jammo, Scotland, Lucas touhy Jeff( if he is in) daisy, casbolt, Everitt whilst
Rowe, cripps Menzel are getting better...
We should also have more of a bench than last week!
But it will come down to the attitude. (And fitness)
Go blues.

I have no doubt that they will straighten up on Saturday
