Autopsy seems appropriate
Feels like a morgue on the train

Jetta was damn ordinary against the Hawks. I've noticed some bad habits creeping into his play lately. Jetta should have been dropped, Sheed should have stayed, and they should have brought in Ainsworth who for a young player has a great tank, is hard in at it and can tackle. 15 possessions, 8 tackles from 65% game time against GWS. Yes, he looked a bit nervous early and a couple of kicks were off, but he ran hard and was hard at it. That is exactly the type of player we were screaming out for against the Saints. I understand they brought in Nelson to cover the Saints small forwards, but the need for extra run and grunt around the ball was the greater need. Or given Ainsworth was the travelling emergency against the Hawks, Partington. With our rucks not being so dominant, it showed we need shoring up on ball.
Should have been:
OUT: Masten (inj),
IN: Ainsworth/Partington

Whats the word on how bad Jacks injury is? Was it an ankle?

Missed that one. All good then!
Autopsy? Is Jack's ankle that bad? :Laughtrack:
Boys got it done, have a week to rest up and get back into gear. We get to enjoy WA Day.

Simmo said no idea. They'll wait until they get it scanned

Total snore fest at the game 
Our ball movement was the biggest negative for mine. Just slow and predictable. Chipped sideways and backwards when we didn't need to.
Also didnt get back off the mark with any urgency so none of our switches achieved anything. Nobody was prepared to make a play.
- If someone could man up Membrane that would also be great. They had 1 dangerous player all night, and we gave him no respect
Hope Simmo gave the lads a bake for that diabolical final quarter.

As much as this game destroyed me on the inside, i think people need to understand that we were almost limping our way into the bye after the tough run of games we've had. Taking nothing away from the saints, but we looked very tired and uninterested all game and it showed towards the end. A lot of missed tackles, fumbles and not a lot of pressure in the midfield. For me personally this game feels like a loss or rather a loss like win we needed to have in order to show us that we are still not there yet. Like Simo said, 10 in a row is pretty good but we haven't achieved anything yet. A much needed rest coming up for the boys after which a really hard game against the Swans at the SCG, but with hopefully Ryan, Shuey, Emac, Darling and a bunch of rested up sore boys ready to go, we can challenge them and get the win.

He had a few friends on the night I think. Thought many just looked disinterested.

Yeah it seemed really flat as far as atmosphere goes. I know I’ve been to games there and felt the crowd was electric and my mates have mentioned how quiet the crowd seemed on TV which seemed odd to me at the time. Made me think they have the crowd mic’d up weird.
But that crowd on TV tonight sounded like a WAFL crowd. Could hear the boys calling on the lead.
- second game I have been to this year and the second time I have been told off by the old farts behind me for being too noisy when cheering on the team. West coast supporters really do live up to the stereotype. Old, boring Chardonnay drinkers.
Do we accept that was the loss we had to have?
Bye just in time and we are going to have to manage players to be cherry ripe at the business end.
Flying Ryan & Shuey will be welcome additions.

Complacency was what I was worried about pre-game. Obviously not mentally switched on and also most seemed to lack energy. When comparing the effort put in when we played our last home game against Richmond, it's like chalk & cheese!
