1. He says that we should go long, and then in the next paragraph says we shouldn't go long because we have no marking targets. Can't have it both ways.

2. He says that we went defensive after the first qtr but fails to put out that although we were in the lead we only had 5 inside 50s in the first quarter. That we created more opportunites AFTER going defensive. 5 inside 50s for 5 goals in a quarter is evidence of a game plan that is NOT working, regardless of what the scoreboard might say.

3. He has decided we are a rabble. We were worse last week. If he had teed off on us last week it would have been fair enough. We played better though and came up against a far better team than us. Our performance against Melbourne would not have seen us beat a country league team, the performance against St Kilda was good enough to beat Melbourne and Geelong.

We are not a rabble. Just one of the 6-8 rubbish teams running around hoping to fluke our way into the 8. That is not news.
I don't think we played better against stkilda at all!!! We should have been blown away by 100pts and if players like milne, hamill and harvey fired that would have happened. If they had've kicked straight we would have been in trouble. We were pathetic and our turnovers were a disgrace. Our brand of football is laughable.
We were lucky to get a couple of the goals we got in the 1st qtr and we were flattered to be in front at qtr time.

I still think sheahan is on the money. The truth hurts some of us but facts are facts. Frawley is on borrowed time and a big loss this week could see his resignation on Monday. Graham, riccardi, sanderson, ablett all back this week.

Weaver is 100% right. We are one just one of the 6-8 rubbish teams running around hoping to fluke our way into the 8. That is not news.

Except that our Captain has been telling us that we're aiming for Top 4 this year and good enough to make it, and our senior coach has been telling everyone he's going to stick it to everyone like Tony Jewel this year who thinks he cant coach.

So who is the more flawed, Mike Sheehan, Danny Frawley or Wayne Campbell?
