This is getting concerning

[Mountain West]

A third loss in a row to the enigma. This is not right, guys.

I hope Sheeds was in the room after the game unlacing at the troops Bob Knight style.

I'll paraphrase the tirade of 12 years and relate it to this dilemma and hope this registers through and this gets the message to the point that next week at the MCG, an evisceration of Richmond continues.

Now I'm tired of this *. I'm sick and *ing tired of being in 8th place. I'm sick and *ing tired of losing to North. I'm not here to *. Now you may be, but I'm not. Now I'm going to guarantee if we don't play out there next Saturday, you aren't going to believe the next 4 days. Now I'm not here to get my * beat next Saturday. Now you better *ing understand that. This is absolute *ing BS. Now, I'll *ing run your * into the ground. I mean I'll *ing run you, you'll think last night was a *ing picnic. I had a sit around 2 whole years out early in the playoffs. And you will not put me in that position again or you will pay for it like you can't believe. Now you better get your head out of *.

That sums up the message that should be delivered to the troops at Windy Hill. These guys are pros, veterans. They should not allow this to happen anymore.

Don't get me wrong, North is worthy of a win. But, this season could come apart at the seams if something isn't done about it.

Our loss to Brisbane have left some mental scars that have not healed. It was obvious the club really set itself for that game and to get belted like we did has done some real damage above the shoulder area to most of our key players.

Instead of licking wounds, the troops need to pick themselves off the ground and battle...battle...battle.

Bah. First time we've lost three in a row since 98. Big deal.

Face it, we're finishing 7th and 8th.

Does that mean I should accept mediocrity? I'm behind this team through thick and thin. The guys have to provide the work ethic to deliver the results we want. We haven't gotten that in 3 weeks. These are professionals and they are paid to WIN, WIN, WIN. We don't need the "It's alright, your milk and cookies are ready for you to eat." cr*pola. This is the AFL, not the Cub Scouts.

That game was so very disappointing. We were expected to win and should have.

I have some questions:

Why does Henneman get to play on dangerous forwards?
Why is Hille still being selected?
Why doesnt Sheeds drag MJ when he starts to throw his weight around and give away stupid frees?
Why were so many floaters/helicopters being kicked last night?
Where the hell is Hirdy lately? I dont expect the guy to be the match winner every single week, but he just want out there last night.
But my most important question is... WHY cant we play 4 whole quaters of football?!!! Is it stamina/fitness? Mental?

Well done to the Roos, they played until the last second and ran over the top of us. Well done Murphy and McPhee < god I love this kid.
I think the team was put on a pedestool at the beginning of the year and boy have we proved everyone wrong. I dont like to knock my team, but I seriously thought we were better than this. We have played some great games this year eg: round 3 but overall were just not up there with the best teams.

Why does he play at all?

By no means accept it, but do get use to it. It will certaintly be easier to cope with our next 9 losses for the season.

I'm behind this team through thick and thin.

So is everyone else, I'd assume.

You can't always get what you want.

These are professionals and they are paid to WIN, WIN, WIN.

Funnily enough, so are the opposition. Even if they are plebs like Norf.

We have a coach who has won 4 flags and players who won 1 or 2. The guys should know what to do to get another flag. This 3 game losing streak is inexcusable.

I would hope so.

The Rolling Stones told us that one time.

That shouldn't justify our woes at the moment.

The players are also older. It's three games. Hardly anything to sack the board over.

It dosen't help though. Maybe we could by some like Shinboner Spirit© off them bastards.
