Our players act surprised when the opposition comes back at them.


There are psychological issues that run deep with our leadership group which will be passed down, in time, to the youngsters.


Our clean up is far from complete. In fact I'm not certain that it has even begun properly.


The same naked fact applies:

I think you're onto something there. How Hyde, tivendale and others are still on the list is beyond me. And don't give me that 'there's only so many we can cut' crap. we only took 3 players in the draft last year.

Our 1st blemish in 2 months and you think it's the end of the world :cool:
1st blemish in 2 months? Have you been watching? We were crap against an even crapper essendon, smashed everywhere but the scoreboard against hawthorn, jumped a due for a downer geelong and then suffered a 10-goal turnaround in the wet, couldn't beat an awful st kilda and got smashed by collingwood and north. the only minor up in that time was the draw with the dogs and we blew that too. we suck.

Didn't watch the third quarters against the Bummers and the Inbreds in the previous two weeks then?
Facts...beaten three shit teams and cost ourselves 2 points by playing dumb football at the death against a good team having an off day....been smashed by all the hard , tough teams we've played...make no mistake, Geelong would've been a thumping but for the weather and their slow start...Hawthorn's poor kicking flattered us...couldn't even defeat an injury riddled and out of form Saints....yeah yeah "better than last year" and all that bollocks" but is being better than completely useless a thing to really be excited about? Yesterday's result was the only result that was ever going to be likely when the league's smartest team with the smartest coach played the leagues dumbest team with -maybe not a dumb coach- but a retroactive coach the game has clearly passed by. Yesterday only served to expose the cracks that the last month papered over.

Better than last year.

But maybe not so much better that there'll be finals next year.

As a couple of other posters have put up here, poor kicking from Welsh and Franklin maybe flattered us in those games.

We know we are good enough to beat the bottom 4-6 sides

Freo
Blues
Bombers
Demons

We have mixed results against top 4-6 sides (Sydney, Roos, Pies smashed us, and we did better than excpected against Dogs, Hawks and Cats)

We'll know where we are at against the sides in between, Crows, Lions, Port,
