Piss weak after mat h presser by Voss. Laughthing and smiling like we won by 10 goals.

Teams will always come out firing if they've been shown up. We need to be better at matching that intensity and failing that we need to be more composed and not fall to pieces so quick. Our lead evaporated so quickly in the third. We need to be better at managing the difficult times and then regaining control. A lot of this will come by training more to stop the transition. But equally we need to get tougher mentally and it might be a few players just aren't cut out for it when things get tough.

It was the best of times then it was the Boekhorst of times.

Seriously….

how good is our best…?

we’re tough…relentless…classy…and
more fun to watch than a one legged
surfing chicken…!

you know those moments when we start
playing like millionaires…and it goes wrong…?

those moments are going to start coming off…!

hold on folk…things are going to get wild man…!


kindest regards tommi

I feel like my sentiment will be against the grain here....

But the carlton of last year would've lost that by 4 goals.
Also to be 50 up early is a plus.
Port's season and possibly Ken's job were on the line today, they were always going to rally.
4 points is 4 points.

That same mob slapped us late last year by 96ish.

Well done boys.

Plenty to improve on. 4-1

Port switched at every opportunity. We are very poor defensively between the arc's and the other teams know it. If you take away our first half clearances then the rest of our game is pretty ordinary.

It was the best of times then it was the blorst of times.

Our best seems to be coming from centre square ball ups. I think we've really benefited from the 6-6-6 rule, plus Pitto's work with the mids.

Still got plenty to work on around the ground in general play though

Im in between being pleased with 4 and 1 record so far but frustrated with how we have got there. Thinking more broadly, and maybe a little naively, are results like this game and the hawks game mental deficiencies borne out of our history over the past 5 or 10 years? Voss has on exposed form has brought about a better game plan. But lets not forget the many years of poor results and other things which have whether we like it or not, become ingrained into our playing group. This has been and will be a MASSIVE challenge for Voss and co to turn around. IT wont happen overnight. There have been glimpses, but to remove the mediocrity of years of false dawns from the mindset of our team is a MASSIVE change. It will take time, I think the guys are united, and want the success that they can and WILL deliver, but seriously, this is a team which shows so much potential, but its a work in progress. Lets enjoy (hopefully) a solid improved ride which brings about more consistency, but maybe more importantly, burying teams when we get a multiple goal lead against!

We've gone from honourable losses to ugly wins, I know what I would rather.
