Yeah true, but personally think apart from Carlton our finals have been lost before they even started due to shit tactics, poor selections and us being mentally shot.
Last year was the worst though... We looked tired due to the fact we couldn't rest half our team the week before. Despite how crap we were in the middle, had the umps paid Edwards the most obvious holding the ball in the history of the world and TV had kicked the goal on the run... we still win the game and it covers up the poor selections of Griff and Conca... anyway, it's done!

Wasn't 2013 and 2015 technically 7th.
Who cares we were left with arceholes the sizes of door handles and did nothing about it to be where we are today.
There's a song sung by Talking Heads that describes us under DH.

Well one thing can be put to bed conclusively- Hardwick has lost the players.
Got a tip off this week that the players would be fired up because they love him so much. Didn't believe it.
That's an indictment anyway.
But let's look at things realistically.
He's staying.
He's unbelievably fortunate to get a another chance and has an opportunity to reincarnate himself and his philosophies.
If he doesn't he should be committed.
He needs to listen to the players who love him but not the way they are asked to play, tonight there was tiny evidence of that.
He needs to be a real hard prick with them and not tell them what they want to hear.
Become as ruthless as he was on field.

Speaking of profit, Helen. As you suggested last week re people possibly gaining from certain parties winning a place on the board etc.
Are we not seeing evidence of this already. I mean, a review being undertaken by noted football experts Ernst and Young.
I could swear current board member Rob Dalton s a senior partner at Ernst Young ;)
Maybe we're getting a cheapie.
Or more likely, more akin to Tigerland, E&Y are probably getting the under-graduates to conduct the review.
Money makes the world go round. Yep, people are paid for services rendered. It's a crazy old world, by crikey.

13th beat 12th i'm excited
I don't rate Collingwood or Buckley and 8 wins flatter them.
Well for a change i stayed up and watched the whole game and enjoyed it. It wasn't a spectacular game with both sides just as good as each other. I loved out young ones mainly the pole vaulters son he looks ready made short was ok drummond don't think hell make it was ok.
It is amazing even a crap side when they can tackle win games. If he hasnt learned from that he might as well pack up now otherwise if he does his usual back to his gameplan at the start next season we will be screwed. Still think were holding on a rocky ship but ohh well will ride the waves.

We're just delaying the inevitable with DH and that is achieving nothing. He's a ball rubber too close to certain players and that's why he fails to make hard calls. What coach hugs their players for beating a ship 12th side when both teams are out of the finals race ? Guys career is on the line as he's so desperate for his wins. Peg will lower the bar for him and still keep him on, just like she resigned him after he didn't win a final. We're not winning anything under DH. It's 2009 all over where were all excited for winning although we were going nowhere
Welcome back to being a modern day RFC supporter cheering for mediocrity. Poor old Watters McCartney and Sandilands must be wondering what they did wrong to get the arce as they were no worse than the ball cupper at PRO.

Another pre season for them all will see huge improvement providing they can all stay fit.

Its not the young ones we need improvement its the likes of hunt morris grigg b ellis griffiths again was horrible last night tv played his best game for a while but he went missing for long periods. Its amazing when the shackles are let loose we play ok why can't your master see that ?hell we even tackled for a change.

Mate both sides are rubbish. We ain't winning anything with
Grigg Hunt Houli Marcon Hampson Ashbury etc etc as these types get found out on the big stage. Even dumbo told you last week that GWS are a Lamborghini and we were basically nothing. I went to the Hawks game and we have no hope .
Now this fast game plan rubbish is just a bs thing DH implements against weaker sides , but soon as the big guns come he tries to stop the bleeding with his crab tactics. Don't get fooled we've missed the finals this year and we will again next year if DH and the same FD are still there .i know we're all desperate for wins , but with DH all we've ever achieved is bloodless victories. He's won nothing when it's really counted. Sorry for putting a damper on your excitement , but get real DH has just messed up another year. Wowee Spring carnival is coming maybe DH and and the rest of us can all be on a winner. Now how exciting will that be ?
