The minute MM said "We Owned Eighth" we were forked!

I have never seen a club get so far ahead of itself, we did it before we played the Scum, and we are doing it again!

Too many top draft picks, too many fat heads!

Brisbane ahead of Geelong by two goals right at this moment!
What you say is spot on, I dont know how else to put this but for so many reasons, this current side (after this years performance) disgusts me.

Everybody blamed Ratten last year after Sticks issued that finals expectation statement, this year MM said the same thing, yet the season indicates we are far from it.

Retrospectively Ratten wasn't the problem, MM has caught the disease and the problem still persists.

We are not serious as an AFL concern. We are just a club that is fully influenced by it rich supporters who use us as their weekend hobby. A team full of downhill skiers, private trainers, professional dinner guests and fashion accessories.

Until we find a few blokes who think winning is the only thing keeping the food on their plate we are forked!

Clubs secure in the eight with nothing to play for!

Can not gauge if people her are tipping a win or a loss, looks like this team has finally made us all shy  :)

We have a captain playing on one leg, Judd & Carrazzo in the stands, apart from Simmo & maybe Hendo no inform players and coach who has struggled to get the team up for "must win games.  I can't tip a win, but so much want one, not for the finals but just for the team to show something  :(

Unfortunately for them this is as much of a "Must Win" as you can possibly get in a Home and Away game, only a final is bigger!

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Judd apparently has hand up for finals
For every double or triple lead there was a fast break from the midfield, wing or kick out that went in quickly and came back out just as quickly.

We are too soft on what is happening in our F50, we have accepted mediocrity too long.

Early in the season we made a specific emphasis of keeping the ball in, we looked competitive despite a series of narrow losses but the games was good to watch and we looked to be progressing. As the season has dragged on we have become less and less effective, we have looked lethargic and disinterested and like we are going back to our old ways.

It is not our mids or HBs that are the primarily problem. In fact if not for players like Scotland, Tuohy, Walker and Simpson we would be getting reamed week in week out!

And I am full of praise for Hendo, but he was on his Pat Malone on Saturday night as a tall. EFC know Meat is worthless marking on the wing, they let him do it in the first game and he did it again this game. He had no respect from them and no presence inside F50, and he won't get any from other top clubs. Add to that Warnock as our primary ruck at 206cm is ferking worthless outside of the center circle. Judd is not worth the risk for one weak attempt at finals for that bunch.

I wish I had confidence;

When we beat them at Etihad our top eleven statistically where;

Murphy
Robinson
Cachia
Lucas
Judd
Walker
Waite
Kreuzer
Bell
Henderson
McLean

Of that lot, out of those not injured, there isn't one player who is in sterling form. That is half the team!
