Could be worse, we could be Essendon. They are even making us look good.

we have to play them in 2 weeks if we play like we did tonight they will beat us

10 more tackles, 1 more mark I50, won the clearances, won the free kicks, 10 more I50's. It's like a scorecard from a different game.

More scoring shots, 10 more forward 50 entries, lost by 28 points.

If only they wanted it badly enough. That's the most frustrating.
Got a few players who don't want it when's it's hard, we play bruise free footy.
Some big names on big money who let us down...

We never looked like winning. We butchered it and their skills were sublime.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Completely agree. Where's the intensity, aggression, leadership?

Never thought we'd win tonight but it was a real opportunity to stand up and show where the club is headed. Instead we sat back, fumbled and bumbled and showed where the club is headed.

We play the mob who beat them next week....lol.

If Essendon play like they did tonight they'd be lucky to beat North. Every week is different through.

About ten more handbrake stops and non chases too...

Our next 4 games are going to be depressing. Essendon will even beat us.. as usual we are terrible.

Yes, I agree. But for all our butchering, the numbers indicate many opportunities squandered.

I was watching Essendon. Tonight's effort would be enough to beat them. We were bad, they were way worse.

Thanks fellas for keeping me apprised :) 

Even though I was blind to it tonite, it's bloody obvious to throw away the fitness manual for a spell and get these players to practice kicking.

We struggled to stay motivated 3 games in a row. Two seems to be the limit.
