That was a very winnable game. We were the better team for much of the match. The system that is the AFL draft meant it wasn't in our club's best interest to win. We can go all out next week now having secured the optimum trading-drafting position as well as adding weight to our Priority Pick argument. It's not how any of us really want it but it is the reality.

I want to see- 1)Support for Bolton with a Craig like figure. I think we're missing his input. 2)Mature, physical, talented recruits in the 22-26 year age group. Trade picks for them! Even Pick 1 3)Players supporting their teammates in the physical contests. On the weekend I saw one of our players jog past a teammate getting roughed up on the ground. I just forget who it was but it was someone who surprised me. 4) The emphasis must be on winning rather than development. We must select teams to win games. Let the development happen at VFL level and when they're ready move them up and give them an extended period. But winning must become a priority because losing and honorable losses seem to have become entrenched. 5)With that in mind around 8-10 wins 6)No excuses, no green shoots-call it as it is! 7)New Captain-Docherty or Cripps-its time for that handover. 8)100 point scores-How long has it been now ?! 9)A more aggressive and defiant approach to the AFL-the crap around the Curnows and the umpires we were subjected to, compared to other players in similar situations, was pathetic. 10) A similar approach to the media-call out some of their hypocrisy and contradictions. If we're going to go down let's not go down without a fight
So you're saying instead of building a bridge we should see if someone has built one for us to use??
Let's face it, the club has decided that they're building a bridge and whilst they're doing the foundation work they are having a few issues.
It might not be on time it might be expensive but they are intending to build a bridge a d don't seem worried about everyone who's telling them they are doing it wrong.
I'm fine with that but you can't knock the finished product when all your doing is looking at how they're building it.
Thanks folks. Im getting a cochlear implant, it's going to be very interesting.
I was going to ask if you were getting the testicles as well but thought it would be inappropriate. Looks like it has gone there anyway. Seriously. Good luck with the implant and hopefully there's a big improvement for you.
Agree. Not sure what some people expect around here. 13 consecutive losses and 37 rounds < 100 points scored and we should only accept contributions like...
“Bad luck Blue Boys, better luck next time.” “Hang in there, we need to stick phat.” “Saw some positive signs today.” etc., etc., ...
We need some new assistant coaches. What about these two.
Bolton is as close to Clarkson as it's possible to be. Apart from the article below, I have word from someone connected to the Hawks that what Lewis says is true. If you want Clarkson, this is as close as it gets.
I have never heard Clarkson pot any of his players in a presser. I don't watch every one, but the ones I have watched he defends them quite a lot.
