Did you hit the target at all? If so, you did better than us.

You can be disappointed, but thinking this will have any affect on where we finish this year is just plain reactionary.
Not according to brad Johnson
Can't win when we are expected to? We have just won 6 in a row. The difference to the WC game is that it's round bloody 7, not round 23!

Does anyone know if there is a thread for that game back in 91?
Cant seem to find it?
Took over 25 years for us to top that record, well done Adelaide.
Shouldn't be talking about them till after the prelim anyway
An avalanche ran over us for sure. 90 to 48 tackle count, Sam Jacobs was the only player with 0.
Walker had a horrid game, one for him to forget about.
GOOD NIGHT!
North aren't a bottom side. Should have already beaten Geelong too if they didn't choke.

This club does a lot of things reasonably well, we recruit well given a lack of good picks, we identify and develop talent, we have a good fitness program and we are reasonably professional. We have some of the aspects of a good footy club, but we lack the desire to do what it takes, we don't bottom out to get an advantage in future seasons. We seemingly do not confront our inability to perform under physical and mental pressure throughout the last 19 years, despite at times having very good sides. There is something weak at the core of this club and it is expressed in many small ways, one way is 150+ gamer Mackay who is the epitomy of everything weak in the club, he is fit, professional, but has the physicality of a wet lettuce leaf, just like the Crows and it is exploited by other clubs, just like the Crows.
It is hardly surprising that soft decisions at selection, in admin, are reflected on the field. It is cultural, it is the way the Crows go about all aspects of their business that is the antithesis of ruthless.
And that is all well and good in 6-0 cakewalks under no pressure, but when the challenge comes it counts for s**t.
Finally, our captain is a front running, weak sook on the footy field, happy to have a shove and give lip when things are going his way but if a bit of hardship hits he goes straight into toddler mode, playing behind, giving away frees and 50s. Emotionally weak.

Tend to agree. We are sus at football grounds that are open and 2 nd rate. Stadiums are the go!

Gee you're a self righteous twat.
We were expected to win last week. And the weeks before that.
The problem is we expect to win every week, so it's a self fulfilling prophecy.
Wait and see what happens in the next tough game or even next week. No need to write us off just yet
This game had nothing to do with expectation for goodness sakes, there was zero pressure on us going into the game. The result doesn't change our ladder position, and I'll reiterate as it appears to have gone over your head, it's still 15 weeks until finals!

Pretty weak effort really. Surely you can do better?
If you can't see that as an anomaly and expect it means our season is gone, there is no point continuing this conversation because you aren't talking rationally.
Well, that was less than desirable.
I could only catch the last qtr but new the scores all along. From the little I saw, not much went right ha ha. Winning the toss would have made a bit of difference in that roos wouldn't have had their tails in the air. Hope Geelong don't win by too much so we stay top.

Your post count definitely goes up significantly after a loss

Look man obviously you think today's effort and result was ok!
Expectation in this regard is the top team going and getting the job done! Ok
As we all expected them to do so....
not only did we lose, we got absolutely destroyed by a team that's not gonna play finals.
How you can defend this is ridiculous and how you can criticise me for saying the ******* truth is ridiculous.
I'm sure you don't see the irony in calling the club front runners after a post like that.
