Yes we lost tonight.....BUT...........I was very proud of the boys , they never gave it away at any stage.
I still think we are a very outside chance to play in September , but if we lose next week its goodbye.

Unfortunately Skylark I think it's wishful thinking!!!
I would be happy if we win more games than we lose for the rest of this year.

The biggest pity is that we were our spearhead away from 2 wins in the last 2 weeks. Sydney and Melbourne are our bitch with Taz roaming the forward line.
Alas we are consigned to lower ladder oblivion, while those 2 will probably play finals footy. Thanks to the tribunal, justice is served :rolleyes:

goddamnit :(
the most painful game to watch this season i reckon
so close, yet so far
swans rebound from defence was too quick :(
ah well, mathematically still a chance, but realistically i doubt it :(
if only we had tarrant - rocca was nearly dead the whole game, his fitness seemed to be non-existent
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh it hurts
*deep breath* its just a game, its just a game, its just a game *deep breath*
:(

Yep we lost and definitely lacked Tazza's prescence and Rocca was still extremely limited , but that's the hand we've been dealt .
Don't even worry about slight possibility of finals because it definitely won't happen.
Now we've Just got to give some guys some experience at senior level and see who is and who isn't up to it , in and attempt to reload for 05.
Commiserations.
Well played and hard fought throughout.
Your boys were a credit to your club yesterday and it was one of the most enjoyable games I've been to in ages.
Good luck for the rest of 2004.

You may be "out-of-it" and there is no doubting that mathematically it will be tough, but I expect that you will only finish 1-2 games or even just percentage outside the eight, and you will certainly be the best side outside of September action.
I have a strong feeling that you will stretch and certainly disrupt the run-home for several of the other top eight sides in the last 9 weeks - my mob especially.
Matches against Freo in the west (I think) and Brisbane (albeit in Victoria) will be possibly the two games that prevent your finals involvement.
The last two weeks were very impressive. Melbourne have been superb this year as highlighted by their beating Essendon comfortably. You made them sweat as you did with Sydney last night.
Port (MCG), Essendon and Geelong, you will take it right up to, if not get over them.
I have no doubt that Collingwood will shape the Finals and maybe still give it some sort of a shake.

Disappointing but we gave it a crack. Guess that is all you can do.
Well done to your lot.
what a shattering loss
oh well sydney wanted it more in the end and they got what they deserved the 4 points
the thing that buggered me the most was Leon Davis, in the side to kick goals, and lets face it needing to kick a few big bags soon or it could be lights out, he misses a set shot from 20 metres not much angle, and if he kicked that it would have been a huge difference
im not confident bout next saturday either, i can see sundays papers now and its not pretty
hopefully im very wrong....hopefully
PS. Cheers Syd, good luck with your boys also

Good Luck!!

I'm happy that we fight these games out but at the end of the day we weren't good enough. We should have won by a couple of goals but once again we kicked ourselves out of it when we should have pressed. Rocca missed to getable shots for him and then the Swans took the ball the length of the ground and goaled. There is game right there. We kicked something like 4 - 11 in the second half, that's just not good enough. When O'L had a difficult shot to win it he nailed it. When we had those shots we missed. We can't kick and if you carry too many oplayers that can't kick you can't win when it counts.
