We are dead-set sheilas

[Mr Ripper]

Seriously.

You reckon Ripper?? I thought your team played pretty well, didn't convert as well as you'd have liked, but it looked like your guys were hard at it. You played a good side and were just beaten by the better team on the night.

Ant, it's the willingness to accept near enough as good enough that keeps this club anchored in the mire and destined never to be a serious premiership contender.

I've had a gut full of the excuses.

Kudos to the Crows, but let's face reality - you aren't world beaters and should be knocked off at the Gabba by a side that's rumoured to have top 4 ability.

Yeah well I reckon your "rumoured top 4 ability" might be overstated. We're no world beaters but we are a good side, we did beat Carlton and Richmond in Melbourne, something your top 4 side did not get close to achieving. However, unlike us, I still think the Lions are certainties for the finals, especially with Leppitsch and a few others back. How far you'll go is very debateable though.

Yeah but Matthews accepted near enough as good enough when he played, Brisbane might as well

I thought Akermanis went out of the game...Brissy had plenty of chances but went missing when the going got tough

But you missed some easy ones and so did we!!!

Can't win at home + Can't win away = In for a very long season.

SpecialBruce, I agree with that equation.

Rip is the spelling guru, and you the mathematic guru.

Ripper - you have been saying we are sheilas since we lost to Port in the Crap Cup Grand Final.

Mav, na mate, me no mathematic guru. That's your job.
