Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
I didn't think his game was as good as many on here are claiming.

Maybe cause I focus on the amount of times he stops a second before possible contact and that sh1ts me so much that I don't notice what he does when he has the ball.

He stopped instead on running straight at the ball in the contest when hocking elbowed him. Happened just before the incident.

If we are serious about becoming a real team either he shows more courage or IMO he's trade bait.

His skills are not good enough to be that soft and get away with it.

Last time we met this team Waite kicked a lazy 7 goals out of the 10 we managed.

Yet all game that's right all game he plays defence while we struggle to put goals on the board. :-\

Not enough being said about this.

The team is insipid no doubt but MM is not half the coach he was. 

I love his passion and loved watching him go mad every now and then when coaching the pies but his weekly demeanor suggests something is very wrong.

Standing in the box, hitting and throwing things, incorporative press conferences all point to a man who has lost control as its obvious he has no way of getting the success most thought he would. Being such a proud man he is so bloody frustrated he can't hide it. I think he took this gig quietly thinking he inherited a Geelong that with with him giving the odd spray and maybe just his presence he could get us further then our previous coach. WRONG.

So how do we buy ourself out of this one?  Buying at the time the best player in the comp failed. Sacking our nutcase FF failed didnt do much. Sacking a past legend and buying the most expensive coach in the afl will ultimately be another fail.

We are in a heap of sh1t. Sorry but being a big player in this years draft is not going to fix this mess. It time to start again. Its not top up time. A heap of pain ahead. Murphy being our captain pretty much sums up what we are about. If he doesn't stand down at years end the club must make the decision for him.

I have been feeling in for the last 18 months so this is no knee jerk one bad loss reaction but I am over the afl and worse I'm over my team. 

They both stand for nothing and treat supporters like fools.

Not anymore. Might still watch our game if I have nothing else going on but there will be no membership, no going to games, no watching daily rubbish footy shows-all this is gone for good.

Time to move on.

Mighty Mick is turning into Marshmallow Mick. Perhaps the Pies got it right - they knew his coaching days were over. I'm quite deflated after this. I thought Malthouse could take our list to the next level. It looks like the next level below.

Mazza!

How are the Bummers going these days LL?

I think they're still in the 8. Why do you ask?

Ah! They've got their own very special way of achieving that haven't they?

The really sad part is even after their sanctions they will still be a better performed team then us over the next 3-5 years.

Cheats or not their list is clearly superior to ours and by a fair stretch IMO.

At least they were willing to do whatever it took to succeed. Our players couldn't give 2 sh1ts.

Let's give 'em and Jimmy a hearty round of applause then Shawny, eh?  8)

Cookie, point is let's worry about our own backyard.

We are a bloody mess mate.

Still too many soft players who wont put their body on the line.

X2.

Yarran Murphy Gibbs are all in most of supporters minds in our top 10 yet they lack true heart.

Yarran is fast, exciting to watch when allowed room and at times looks skillful. YET when asked to work hard against the better teams he is lazy, not accountable and lacks any sort of heart that all great players have.

We have many players in this category.

Overall was quite pleased with the win. I know we didn't play a top class team but you can only beat who is front of you and thought we did what we needed to do.

Was rapped to see that little maggot Milne try his usual side step tricks that always seem to work against us backfire this time around!

Touhy was wide awake to it......the same needs to apply this week against  Harvey. I wonder if Touhy will get him as well?

Next week will be a better test. North are not a top class team but we have struggled against them and on their day can test any side. Need to be on from the start to get the win.

If it was Freo fro example it'd be taking 8th from 9th on false pretences. Seeing it's Essendon though taking a finals spot at their expense because they cheated, that would be an absolute pleasure.

Finals are on the cards. Port should lose to Hawthorn, hopefully putting us just one game, plus we play Port last match. Season would be in our own hands then.

Refresh the 22 and game style with Menzel, Graham, Buckley and get rid of nearly all the tagging and taggers. Kills our run and by extensions kills our forward line. Bring Watson in and see what he has, especially after a brilliant game today, and play Henderson forward. Run a 3 pronged forward line with Henderson, Waite, who may well come up, and Casboult. Waite as 3rd marking, and running, tall. Might save him a few injuries. Yarran back at half back and Walker right in the guts, same with Gibbs and Simpson

You just made me smile. Thank you. Made me think we still have the years destiny in our hands.

Maybe just maybe by the end of the year we will all look back at this period and laugh at all the negative posts and thoughts as we are thru to the second week of the finals.

Oh well I can dream!
