If worst comes to the worst I'll happily take that "one hit wonder" though.

The Dogs did come from 7th so they weren't that good. Just played a great September.

Nah!
I expect more than just one or two good years for all this pain.

Within those 3 years we have had the biggest turn over of players know to man, a shocking run with injuries that has meant that ‘fillers’ have had  to be more permanent and structurally we have had no continuity all year.  More composure in the middle (l.e a couple of decent ballusers to help Cripps), more understanding between McKay and Curnow and throw in De Koning (they have played 1 game together!!) and some solidification in the back line will hopefully make a power of difference.

There should be at least some system and structure after 3 years. That side today wasn't exactly rubbish, which his a good sign, but we want someone to get the best out of their ability as a unit.

Terrible presser.

At the game, it seemed that the ball was down their end for most of it, and it came out of our forward 50 pretty easily and quickly.

There is no way that Bont should have got a free kick.  The umpire guessed and gave Jong a 50.  That killed the slim chance that we had.

Also excellent to see the peanut that threw the bottle onto the ground escorted out quickly - well done to everyone around him to point him out.

Endeavour was good.  We continue to make skill errors when transferring across the ground that bite us.  Cleaner there and we would improve straight away (players up the ground have a chance to get the ball, we don't waste time and energy trying to fix mistakes and have to fight to get the ball again).

We have a Kerridge Kunundrum.  He is a good size and can get the ball for us (needed attibutes), but unfortunately, it doesn't stay with us for long (don't need these attributes).  If he was able to improve his efficiency by a lot, he would be good.

Yes, the AFL should really clamp down hard on players coaches etc. trying to sway opinion so blatantly and shamelessly. Very poor form trying to say that we're not that bad because we're nearly beat your crap truck team, therefore we should only get a PP at the end of the 1st round. No honour among thieves.

Compare to Bolton's response on this question, who is probably too honourable for his own good.

Bontompelli should be fined for staging and for the contact to Lamb’s face that initiated the incident.  It won’t happen though and, even if it did, the score will stand
