Geelong were a lot better than us today. Credit where it's due. They had to respond and they did.

Not overly disappointed though. Thought we could've been better. We definitely are better than what we served up. Just worry about our structure heading into September. Some concething signs today.

Anyway, congrats Gero, UnitedWarrior. Do your worst.
Nah, just happy to win.
Cautionary tale about drinking bathwater however.

That Jack + smalls ain't winning a flag. Need another tall forward.

I definitely think Casboult is an AFL player that could be more than handy in a good team, but Im not sure you pay him much at all. Not going to be the difference at the Tigers.

I would rather play an extra midfielder than carry Ivan Soldo. He's a liability. An extra tall would be handy though. You're right.

Ah well. I won't give up hope until it's impossible.

On track to be a 10 goal loss but it's actually been one of our better performances of the second half of the season. We've managed to get repeat entries inside 50 and actually take risks attacking the corridor but only managed 3.7 while the other mob kicked 9.2

Obviously still carrying about 4-6 players right now but a few of those kids we carry like Fisher, Pickett and Silvagni are showing little bits out there

Ezra Bray has them all easily covered I would have thought.

Spriggs was at least decent for his first two seasons, until everyone learned he couldn't kick. The anti Caleb Daniel.
Joel Corey, Cameron Ling, Paul Chapman and Corey Enright massively saves that draft. 4 champs in a draft. Then 4 more in 2001.

The Eagles intercept marking in defence was outstanding tonight. Kennedy with 6 but when you look at how they've come jones hasn't done too badly there. It's just that first 1/4 where we didn't captitalise when we had the wind and were the better side.

Good signs from the usual suspects. What was pleasing was seeing Fisher and Pickett look at home in the afl for the first time
