Terrible night, but we need to remember that we beat North on their favourite deck and were dead unlucky against Fremantle and Geelong. Just a bad night at the office tonight guys.

What do you care if people are interested in watching the kids or a powerful, well-coached final's contender?
I've never seen fitness play such a huge part in a game before. Port were sprinting in both directions for the entire game. How the hell do they do that?
We are miles off the pace in at regard.

I for one don't hope Holman gets another game. Clearly out of his depth. I'm all for letting young players have an extended run in the seniors to pick up some form but he was not AFL ready... physically or mentally. No judgement other than that. Hope he can become a good player.
Johnson needs to decide whether to play tall or small. If he can work out where he stands at AFL and have a consistent run in the seniors I'm confident he'll turn out alright.
Graham was pretty good. Bell again I thought was still pretty good in a shit midfield.
Gibbs is ****ing insane.
Again 2 KPF and we have know one to kick it to. **** sake.

first i can't find my keys and now this
Buttifant got Collingwood to the level where they could play that ultra-harassing style in 2010.
I'll back him to achieve likewise with our players. It'll take time.

You just know when Mick starts saying that we've improved that it will come back to bite him on the arse.
I hope this is sarcastic.
No it wasn't. It's time fans looked at our performances over the past 5 to 6 seasons. What happened tonight is no different to a few years ago. Has everyone how the media was saying Ratts had us heading in the right direction, that we were taking it up to the top teams etc? The effort tonight was at the opposite end of the spectrum to the past month. Not in the middle or anything but a thousand miles away. And history indicates it's not the first time its happened with us.

Hahhahahahahahahahahaha, this is exactly like us!
Well if this match was being played during the day I would of gone out but as it is Friday night I had no choice. Yes I could of turned the tv over or rang a friend but I'm a sucker for punishment.
For me Carrazzo and Menzel didn't do enough. Tuohy better have a fantastic preseason and pick up his game next year or else. In fact I don't think Menzel should of been playing.

Yes, we have been mentally fragile for years. It did look like we had found some belief to at least fight out every game though. We might be fried, we might be undermanned, even good teams have games like this sometimes ... but when you are used to falling in a hole after showing some hope, you can't help but be reminded of the same old inconsistency in effort.

Completely disagree.
Ok can we stop with the Ratts v MM discussion it is so tiresome whats done is done and we need to look forward.
Congrats to Port they towelled us up a good one. Even though I picked Port I did not think it was going to be like a train wreck.

Starting to think we might have a bit of that Melbourne-style mental scarring.
Look at their kicking. While effort was huge in the loss, their kicking is vastly superior to ours.
It's the one reason why I don't see this massive improvement coming in the next two years like others do. They're not magically going to start kicking the ball like Hawthorn, Sydney, Geelong or Port do.
