This is some special result. The Baby Blues haven't been able to pull off something like this in a long while.
Blues 104
Pussies 90
Siren gone! :)

Actually, 16 - 8 - 104 is pretty good kicking from us. Now if only the seniors can pull off that sort of effort.

How exciting, I had to read this thread twice.....
As for Jones, well I'm confident he'll lift (tongue in cheek). I picked him to be a bolter this year ;)

Well done to the NB mob.

It sends the right message that senior selection cannot be taken for granted. As he continues with his assessments, It looks like BB will be trying to move forward with the younger players he sees as the future and keeping the older and fading players as the backups. That's fine by me!

Yep. Pretty sure BB said:
form will drive selection
all have clean slate
nobody is entitled
there is no ceiling (to this effect anyway)

To date, I'm impressed with his integrity and ability to hold onto the rudder (even though we're headed for the rapids).
Bold Bolton

He'll turn the ship in time....

Top post! 

Couldn't agree more.

Too many on here react to the now. Weekly results mean stuff all in a full rebuild of the proportions we have been forced to undertake.

As long as I see effort and signs the kids and younger players are improving or at least showing signs I'm happy.

The experienced players on the list are obviously viewed differently. If they don't preform they should be traded out. Simple as that.

Hang tough guys after all this is what we all were crying out for when MM was at the helm.

X 2.

No pain no gain.

This will take a couple of years not a couple of weeks.

Here's a few tips to preserve your sanity in the short term:
Celebrate every contest we win.
Admire our younger players when they beat a seasoned player.
Cheer loudly and proudly when we kick a goal.
Welcome our first gamers like we believe they'll succeed.
Go nuts when we win a game.
Knock yourself out when we have a NAB rs nomination.
Then, when we finish at or near the bottom of the ladder. Be scintillated when you see the top talent we draft. And then get excited about what they will add to Cripps, Weits, Charlie, Harry, SOSOS, and co.

Hang fat Bluebaggers. We're all in this together.
(And yes, I'm definitely a glass half full type. But hey why not!)

Effort - yes, for three quarters. Fitness - maybe underdone. Skill - limited. Speed - limited. Teamwork - undone by skill error.

Odds are good to be selected for goal of the round  ::)

Not an unexpected result but man, getting quite desperate to see a few more green shoots..... And the winter is still to come.
Deep breath - we're only three weeks in.
Go Blues.
