I would like to apologize to all supporters for the insipid performance by the Blues.
My 10yr old son and I have made the 400km round trip twice this year to watch the boys play, which were the Gold Coast & Freo games.

We feel that we must be a bad omen and are the reason for their poor performance when we are in their presence.
We had plans to come down again this weekend to watch them take on Collingwood.

Feel assured the two of us have agreed, for the better of the club that we should stay away this weekend, and are sure that with is, you the supporters
will see a better performance against Collingwood !


Thanks OB & Son :thumbsup:

F. Wright De Koning Pickett

R. Kreuzer Cripps Fisher

I. Kennedy Kerridge Polson Casboult

Our forward half has been too tall and lacking in ground ball winning ability. I'd isolate De Koning and Pickett down there and play the others outside 50.

We play the G well. I'll be expecting a very competitive showing.

Great lineup BV, which is why it won't happen.

This selection committee refuses, REFUSES, to take a real punt on youth and an alternate game plan as you suggest. I would go the Schu as well.

I like this team BV.

A really good mix.

Good blend of talls, inside mids and much more pace, which we will need against them.

Are you going to send to Bolts or do you want me to?

I will put your name to it though.

Every single year my love for the game of footy takes a hit, yesterday was one the biggest hits that I can recall. I have memories of watching almost every game, of every round. Nowadays some weeks go by without me watching any football at all.

Each and every year we're promised improvement and each and every year we walk away disappointed saying to ourselves 'Ah well, next year we'll be better' or 'More games into players X and Z'. Personally, I couldn't give a stuff about the priority pick, CFC have proven time and time again that we simply cannot develop them. You only need to look through our entire list and have a look where each player was drafted.

I plan on going to this game with a Collingwood friend of mine and I dare say, another performance like last week will be the tipping point where I finally move on from the sport all together. I'm not asking for a win, just effort and a clear indication of what our game plan actually is.

I have to travel all day for work this Sunday so will miss this game. Normally I'd do anything to change that - lie to the boss, whatever, as long as I get to see the Blues. Been stressing about it for weeks. Now I'm letting it go. Will catch up on it Sunday evening when I can. Hope it is not too awful.

Had pencilled in the Port game for my annual trip to Melbourne the following week. Got lucky last year with the one point GWS win. I might still go that week if the selected team looks more competitive.

If that first half effort from last week is repeated this week the booing will be worse. Hopefully that won't happen.

I'm also hoping that the players returning from injury over these couple of weeks all stay in the 2's until they have shown touch and enough match fitness.

Still possible to salvage something from this season if we can work to get our best possible team on the park, fit and in some sort of form for the last five games or so. But if you are a supporter doing it hard; don't take the kids for the next few weeks, and don't feel bad if you have grown too weary of the thrashings.

I think we've finally got some decent young talent and hope like hell we can develop them. Otherwise this is the darkest place I have been in following this club. The absolute pits.

Agreed, not sure why Casboult came straight back in. It's not like we're scrambling for a spot in the finals.

Yep ! we play that defensive pressure style game reasonably well.Anything else is beyond our capabilities.Dont care how ugly or scramble the game is.Just play to the limited strengths we have...................we can win this and cause a boilover if we stick to our guns.If we can't lift for this mob then we may as well call it a day...................its all above the shoulders,lift,we can do it.

I love your optimism Mickstar but based on this years form I can't see how we can win this one, even with our so called 'A' game.

I would go with that accept I would have Harry instead of Levi or Phillips and play Kruez forward and Cunningham instead of Kerridge
I would try SPS as a permanent Small forward
I would tell Polson to tackle tackle tackle

Try something different

Would be pretty sweet if we can get two 'ins' for one 'out'. About time the AFL's makey-uppy worked to our benefit.

The footage of Rowe and Kerridge last night on OTC was damning. Cannot possibly be selected to play this week.
