When will they seriously come after us or do they think we are not news worthy . Maybe Scott needs to make some tough decisions rather than coming after opposition players and the people in charge of stadium roofs .
We won't be playing finals this year

Diversion tactics that take the focus of the media away from poor performance.

Wouldn't be surprised to have a big announcement this week like Hine signing for 3 more years.

Brad is having a press conference at 12 noon today. It'll be full of spin and -hit. Mentioned on SEN this morning that North are the new handbags. At this point in time it's hard to refute.

This is why the post game crap between Brad and Rockliff shits me as it's more likely the presser will be hijacked by media asking about that rather than our onfield shyte.

I think this suits Brad perfectly. Instead of explaining his and the teams poor performance he can talk about confronting Rockliff.

If the media blow torch is what we need we are in bigger strife than I thought.
I agree with this.

We need papers to tell us what exactly? that we can do better?

Every person in the club should know that we should be doing better.

I hope that at least 1 journo uses this Cockliff press conference to ask actual hard questions about the shitness of our performances.

The further we have gotten from Saturday the angrier I have become about it.

If Robbo attends I expect him to ask the hard and relevant questions. The ambulance chasers will stick to the Rockliff incident related ones, which I fully expect Brad to have a well rehearsed answer to.

Robbo be too busy answering sycophants on the Tackle.

I would like to see the holier than thou' new AFL conscience Wayne Carey down there backing up his comments in the paper this morning.

It was embarrassing and unacceptable, the players know exactly where they went wrong and we expect them to rectify that the first chance they get. They can't wait to redeem themselves...

... Yes it is fair to ask about our coaching performance and we will be doing a forensic review of our own performance and take our share of responsibility. What we served up in that second quarter was not acceptable and it's not what this group and this footy club are about...

... X and Y will be tested this week, but if they aren't right we won't play them. A and B won't be available. I'm confident the team we put out there will play their roles...
