Daniher can't kick em from anywhere all year, now he's jagging them from everywhere today, what a disgrace the Blues are today, Rowe = Titanic
only against us!!

10 odd goals against a middling side says it all, and little can be said that has not been said before.

It was encouraging to see Boekhorst play well in the first half. He has some skill and with good coaching will have a chance to develop. Murphy was plugging holes in the end; he is copping a real beating of late, but is making repeat efforts where few of his team mates, while making an effort, simply dont know what to do.

The terrible coaching combined with the lack of direction on the field is showing why we are hardly competitive. We dont set up well, and we have holes in our defence due to a lack of movement and understanding by the players where they should go. We dont play a spare man back much, and if we do they dont maintain the right position relative to their team mates. Henderson was briefly back and took a couple of marks in the second quarter, but then was moved about again, with docherty spending time further up the ground. Its all a bit futile really.

Better players were murphy, cripps, everitt ( only because of 3 goals) and curnow had a crack. But let's move past applauding effort, for it is our poor skills and disorder that is the big difference.

Couple of things that annoyed were the poor minding of the mark. Get on the mark and get your arms up and move. Every little bit counts at this level and many of our players dont. Second was the almost zen like Barker at 1.20 to go in the first quarter, sitting in the coaches box. Get down on the ground early to round up the team once the siren blows. It was a wierd sight. A bit more enthusiasm may be warrented from a bloke that may want a senior job. Not that it matters much, and they played better in the second quarter but it didn't seem right.

And good god the channel 7 saturday night commentators are dills.
They have been dills all year

regardless of the result umps were very ordinary as they are EVERY Friday night, really don't know where to go from here but guys like Jones, Tutt and Boek are NOT!!! our solution

Totally overwhelmed ... BY THE POOR STANDARD OF UMPIRING.

If it wasn't for those mongrels we could have kept it to less than 100 points.

I reckon we should be getting beaten by about 30 points.

Yes, they are better. But every single mutha screwing free has gone in their favour.

They will win the flag chaps, make no mistake. The AFL has already determined it.

I was watching football and have been involved in football at the Club while you were still a spermatozoa in your fathers scrotum, you Richard Cranium.
Obviously still doesn't make you an expert NIC

Injury issues tonight were genuine. It looked like it had an effect on our confidence. We looked for the boundary rather than the corridor. I am keen to see Sheehan and Byrne back in action. Something about them tells me they will be winners. Especially Byrne. I don't know what it is but I tell you it is there clear to see. We need Rowe back soon. We miss Judd tonight. He cut them a new one in the finals game we played against the Tigers. We are very shallow in the list department when injuries hit. Especially when players limp around during a game when things go wrong during a game.

We were down our 2 best mids in theory (Judd, Thomas). 2 best defenders (Rowe, and Jamo early in the 1st quarter). Had Murphy limp through the last quarter, and Gibbs having his left pec cause him to have no input of real use in the last quarter. White did have mobility issues after his hyperextension.

All this added to a list that is green without Betts, Waite, Garlett, Robinson, and McLean. One which has left last season, but we haven't replaced these key players just yet. I would love to see how the tigers go without Cotchin, Martin, Deledio, Riewoldt and a couple of players or 3 limping through a last quarter in their side.

Bloody well said Spanner, couldn't agree with you more.
We are definately one of if not the softest teams in the comp. It would not surprise me if Brycey boy has feigned his pec injury so he does not have to face the Hawks and Freo and embarrass himself with his soft c €$k game.
PS Pinning a guys arms and slinging him to the ground head first does not make you a tough player.

Was that Hampson's best ever game?
NO

And we slam a bloke and get weeks... AFL level playing field my bum.
I agree but the umpiring made it impossible to watch

Dusty tried to slam Touhy into a post, time to say enuffs snuff.
and pushed Bell into the fence but hey he's a hero so no ramifications
