I just feel like cutting up my membership card after this last quarter, we have no hope, we have no future. :eek: :eek: :rolleyes:
Comical isn't it ? It may have been 2001, but I reckon Essendon didnt even win a pre season game. Think they were 0/5 ? Don't quote me, but I remember Essendon having a pre season shocker.

Siren sounds and we go down by 7 points.

Disappointing last quarter by us or good last quarter by eagles - depending on how you look at it.

Plenty of good signs apart from our last quarter fade-out.

Douglas - the little champ, VB, Reilly, Bock, Knights, Griffin and Stiffy

Pretty disappointed we folded to a walk, but WC are the reigning premiers for a reason. They turn it on when they need to.

Biggest plusses were Griffin, VB, Reilly, Douglas and Knights to some extent. These guys are the future of our midfield and have stepped up nicely so far. Hopefully they can take that kind of form in to the minor round and beyond.

Doesn't really matter, but it's just a tad concerning that we've folded again.
Agreed to give a 5 goal lead in the last was disappointing obviously the game doesnt matter, but when u consider what happened last year it would have helped us psychologically to be able to hold on and win this one IMO.

This thread remarks a spitting resemblance to the Aussie cricket fans.

Team starts losing so the world has come to an end and they're supposedly no good anymore :rolleyes:

Australia are still a force to be reckoned with, as are the Adelaide Crows.

So what? We lost? Meh. Pre-season games are good for match practice, we'll see when the real stuff starts

Pfeiffer with a good last quarter :thumbsu:

The positives are that our youngsters have played very well

Douglas 29 touches, Reilly 28, VB 23, Knights 18. Thats the positive for me IMHO. Senior players didn't play a major role tonight it was the young guns who stood up and played well.

Griffin also did well in the ruck. Happy with that :thumbsu:

Yep forgot about Bock. He needs to be the go to guy at CHF and the other forwards can work around him. How come we kept picking out Staker when we were trying to go forward ? Rushing ? Panicking a bit ?

Agreed 100%. What was the story with Pfeiffer ? Didnt hear much about him in the first 3 quarters ...

LMAO

You're kidding right. "Most of the Australia are gone" came from you and your English and South African mates.

no point in beating every other team in the comp if we continue to fall over against the eagles like we have in the last two years - whether its a prelim or grand final. im a crows fan living in perth and im sick of the eagles.

this is far from the end of our season, but those eagles are really getting on my nerves, weve got to wipe the floor with them in the season proper.

You mean, like, when there is 4 points up for grabs ?

jesus, that is bad.

If I had known we were going to go that wrong, I'd have joined the power bandwagon. apparently they just beat the saints in practise match.

I don't know if I can carry on... :D
