Though we ran out of legs or common sense decisions in the last quarter,I believe there were some good signs on Saturday night.I think that is the hardest I have seen them play all season.
It was good to see Koops get thruogh the full game and show something.Eastaugh was very good in the ruck and around the ground.Bell was inspirational and very ferocious at the ball,great to see.Bandys effort in playing on when injured was a great credit to him,I have questioned his heart up until then.A very brave effort.
Apart from the apalling effort of Wirras in the last quarter in trying to push the ball over the line and errors from Macca,I think there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.
Matty Carrs stitch up of Buckley was just sensational.
If only we could afford the luxury of playing JL in the forward line every week.He certainly gives them a target to kick to.
Though we faded in the last quarter it would be hard to find a real passenger on the night.

Yeah, it was good to see them playing competitive footy. Koopsy surprised me bu surviving the game - hope he keeps proving me wrong.

Bloody last quarters, I'm starting to get sick of them.

bell and parker were both great when they were involved in the wrestling incident those magpies didn't deserve to keep their wings (don't ask me wat that means i don't have a ******* clue)
its just ashame they were reported but i knew they would be and when they face the tribunal and the pies players do we will see whether the tribunal is really against us because i can just see it now our 2 players suspended the 2 pies fined
hope i am wrong

I still can't fathom how we managed to loose it on saturday but oh well.

I liked what I saw on the weekend. It was great to see Koops play out a game and Ugle showed some signs.

Saturday night gave me some hope that we may do reasonable next year. (freo dont ruin it this weekend)
