Why don't we play well in finals?

You always look slow when you don't have the ball.

They share a soul.

The mouth got it all while the ticker was split.

We could really do with Shannon Byrnes tonight.

Because Chris Scott is a stubborn ****** who refuses to see reality...

Blind ******* freddy can see what our tactics are at the MCG. Bomb ball down line, handpass the shit out of it until we turn it over, guard fresh air and pretend you are implementing this awesome 'zone', forget what front and centre means, forget how to lay a hard tackle (Dustin Martin face palmed our whole team it was embarrassing watching grown men fall over and bounce off him), forget how to kick when it really matters, have 4 defenders launch to spoil and forget to leave some on the ground to crumb, forget how to make a lead and get space from your opponent, play behind your opponent at stoppages so he has first access and can fire out handpass to on coming runner, forget what a block/shepard looks like, forget how to run in both directions because you are ******* lazy, have no idea what a functional forward line structure looks like..

Thats most of the things.

Other than that, we are going ok..

He was a pretty handy finisher around goals for a couple of seasons. Could do with some players like that in the side now.

Shows where we are when we start pining for Byrnes. Says it all really..

He was on .

Lonners out is not helping.

I was having this discussion just today. 2007-11 he was borderline in and out of the team. Even still he played a HUGE role in the last quarter of 2009. Nowadays, he'd be an automatic inclusion.

Just off top of head- he'd be ahead of
Zac Guthrie
Kolo
Parsons
Stewart
Parfitt
Lang
Motlop
Blicavs

There was a play on the half-back flank in the last quarter of last week that really emphasised this - we were clearing the footy from some decent pressure, and the obvious chain to get out of trouble was Zuthrie - Murdoch - Blicavs. It was one of those situations that wasn't easy, but wasn't impossible. At each step the footy seemed to lose speed, and we were closed down. I remember thinking, if that was Enright - Hunt - Wojcinski we would have been outta there.

He tore Sydney a new anus in 2008 if I recall correctly.

Also tended to play well at Subi, shock horror.
