People should really calm down. We lost by 40 in a practice match. Collingwood lost by 81 and Melbourne by 72. Does that mean anything?

Nope.

Let's wait until round one against Carlton before making any judgments of how we're progressing.

Far too responsible.

I'm on middle ground. The game was not encouraging but it's still a long time until the 4 pointers start and I'll worry about losing bigtime when it comes to the real stuff, now its just an annoying inconvenience.

Hey, I was swearing at them during the game and felt like crap immediately afterwards. But people are calling for the coach to be sacked and someone was talking about shooting the captain in the leg. Crazy talk.
 
I'm not worried about the result. I'm just worried that we are going to players such as Johnson, Raines and Tivendale in the midfield every week during the season. I hope we never see those players set foot in the centre square

Haha maybe I shouldve put a :p after the "Far too responsible."

I agree with all you say.

Exactly , get those 3 set in permanent positions now and leave them there except for form. Johnson back flank , Raines Back pocket and Tiva's on the wing or bench

I agree, just look at Hawthorns effort today against a really inexperienced Sydney, Hawthorn had about 18 regular players in and only won by 2 points.

I still have hope in our club, we will come good and hopefully we can show the scum how to play footy in round 1.

I hope your talking about with Coburg, cause I can't see us being any good with anyone of those three in the side, and add to that Hyde.
 
The first 4 or 5 rounds will be the measure of the tape for us, there are winnable games in that lot, if we cant salute then let the revolution begin...I'm still confident we can shape up...The front half looks dangerous and the engine room can be fine tuned with a couple of additions in Cogs/Polo and even edwards...We'll be alright:thumbsu:

Collingwood have alot more to worry about than you guys. They look ****ing crap against the crows! At least you guys ran out the game, Collywobble didn't.

:thumbsu::thumbsu: Exactly.
 
How is this for hysteria.

The developing young kids line doesnt wash anymore. If we dont improve and actually win games in the first half of the season, RFC will start sounding out new coaches and will announce Wallace resignation end of the year.

We were wooden spooners when he took over, and we were wooden spooners last year.

If you cant improve a team in your 4th year, you should be sitting next to Danny Frawley in the MMM box.

March is no Miller/Wallace fan when we're losing
 
1980 surely you can see the progress? Look at the list, look how many are still so young with huge potential.

I think we'll surprise a few this year. Last season we lost some close games and had a bit of bad luck and Simmo was a huge loss.

just a little p1ssed that i'll have to wait another 4 weeks to see them on tv again. The other thing that concerned me was what that performance will mean for memberships. Not overly concerned yet. Just hope we can maintain the list up to round one.

If the competition was fair dinkum I think there are a shitload of winning sides with some issues too. I watched a fair bit of every game this weekend and the whole friggin thing has just left me cold. I was so looking forward to the start of the season but that crap just left me deflated. Its offically the Who Gives a **** Cup and looks like a handball contest. Here we all focussed on JON but across the board there were guys getting caught from overuse and trying to take players on everywhere. Like the rule is handball and take on yoru opponent at all costs. The whole bloody thing has turned to farce and I cant believe we dont abandon it and go for extra home and away games. At least that would reduce some of the inequity with who does and doesnt have to play who twice. This is very poor viewing and I am grateful we escaped injury free unlike a few others, imagine losing key players in this shit!

A modicum of reality in a sea of madness. Watched the Hawks/Swans game yesterday and in an interview, Kennett said he "detested" the NAB Cup and would love to see it go. Thats a good pointer to how some (most I think) clubs see it and treat it accordingly. Skills were crap across the board, all sides rested quality players. Talk about irrelevant - Hawthorn progressed yesterday but if it was 'real' football they would have lost - they only got home because of 9 pointers. The competition is treated with little respect and that's how many clubs played. Save the panic for when the time is right.

Collingwood know they can play better than that. They have last year to back that up.

Melbourne played a team that beat the 2nd best team by 119 points.

We played like we always do, that's what is so worrying.
