I
MJ yes, Campo no.

Does MJ still have a spot after todays performance?

Does MJ still have a spot after todays performance?

Sure does. Perfect match up for N. Brown

Brown will kick a bag on him... easily.

Yes.

So does Campo.

And so does the other guy you said wouldn't be up to AFL level.

 

[Crave]

Assuming he gives MJ the slip. Dont dismiss the fact that MJ has stepped up. Brown is going to kick his 2-3 goals each week....hardly call that a bag.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Yes.

So does Campo.

And so does the other guy you said wouldn't be up to AFL level.

And so goes another year of sub standard performance.

Debuted seven kids, probably debut one more.
Played 10 players today with less than 50 games, or 21 y/o and under.

We'll finish the season with 11 wins, potentially 12. After winning three games last year.

Young players taking more responsibility and improving.

Nope, no reason to think we're heading in the right direction.

 

[Crave]

One point I will bring up is the fact that we had to play that hard to beat a side that was smashed only a month ago in Brisbane. Individual improvement aside, can we use today as a measuring tool for next season?

And played some old guys who are past it and have kept a few on the list for too long.

Put that in a bowl and mix it all up and you get another year of no finals action.

potentially 12.. hehehehe.. love your optimism.

We've beaten them once, Richmond nearly knocked them off tonight.

Hird's last game, Sheedy's last game and West Coast aren't playing that well.

Do you watch footy?

Yeah, I watched us get thumped by Freo last week at Subiaco... .Hawks at the G.

I also watched us lose Hirds 250th.

Are you a short person?

Weren't we 10 points down at the start of the last quarter before injuries crippled us in Hird's 250th?

Seriously champ, stay away from bridges...

How much longer can we hear these excuses for?

We were crap last year because Lloyd was injured... crap the year before because injuries to key personnel..

We could have challenged Geelong in the last if it wasn't for injuries.. we could have challenged the Doggies... yadda, yadda.

Same old story same old result.

 

[Longy413]

How much longer can we hear these excuses for?

The coach is being replaced.
The football department is going to be restructured.

There is a difference between an excuse and a reason.

Same old story same old result.

Winning 360% more games than the season before isn't the same old result.
