I guess it tells you something of the way I think in that I am always anxious until the final siren goes. In recent years, we have grasped defeat from the jaws of victory too often. We need to make me feel the confidence I had when I when a boy: I believed we could win every game. I badly want that back.
On the board. Goal to Eddie.
No doubt this will only be of interest to a few of us, but on the AFL website you can listen to a call of the game in Italian. Hilarious.
It's no good talking about skill errors when it comes to our team. We don't have any skills.
Sam Walsh= genius.
Curnow, loves to give away free kicks.
Jones has to handball or kick long
In one quarter shows TDK shows more then pittonet had shown all year.
Great to finally see a clear tap to one of our midfielders
just kick and hope into our forward line again ffs
just kick and hope into our forward line again ffs
Yep. You would think we have waited long enough to see some sort of a system but nope.
This has upset written all over it...
Is Williams the biggest bust we’ve had?

week in week out its the same crap
Yay did something!
Is Williams the biggest bust we’ve had?
Key is not to play him injured.
Mackay is a very ordinary mark under pressure or in a contest.
Are the umpires only watching this via hawthorn?
Mackay is a very ordinary mark under pressure or in a contest.
Ah he’s been injured for weeks and I assume has had injections to play
Can we please NEVER EVER pick Gibbons again.
Mackay is a very ordinary mark under pressure or in a contest.
we dont exactly kick it to his advantage though do we
Can we please NEVER EVER pick Gibbons again.
he has been average the last couple of weeks
Josh Honey, is ten times better than Owies will ever be, and can't get a game.

I think that Owies has played well today, give him a chance hes played how many games????
Josh Honey, is ten times better than Owies will ever be, and can't get a game.
Goal number 2
I just knew Owies would make a goose out of me.
Some skills training would be great please
Isploughman playing? Or is he just being his regular useless self
We just keep giving away stupid selfish frees. Mackay another one.
I just saw Ploughman. He is on the field. He's not doing anything, but he is definitely there.
We should be 6-8 goals up
Our skills let us down, put us under pressure
Now Setterfield, another useless imbecile gives away a free which he didn't have to do.
we should be smashing this mob to be 15 points up is a joke, our skills are below par, we cant defend a wet paper bag its no wonder we cant beat a top 8 team.

15 points would be amazing. WE ARE DEADSET hopeless.
Well we are the BEST in the comp for leaking goals in red time
That would have to be the biggest fcking joke of a goal in history - against us. Well done.
Carlton had better pull a finger out and put this mob away in the second half or I am done with this team
What a disgusting last few minutes.
Walsh and weiters must just shake their head at the low skill set of their team mates
Teague is Clarksons b1tch.
How dumb to use a kid like stocker on such dangerous opposition players. Bruest will kick 6 today you watch.
So embarrassing if we lose this.
They just don't care enough. Must be a nightmare being coach of this team.
They just don't care enough. Must be a nightmare being coach of this team.
we are just weak
Just bl00dy slapdash, no composure and unprofessional.
If the only way we are going to get change at this club is for us to get stuffed today, then I hope we lose. We are the definition of no skills, giving away stupid selfish frees, no thought to what we need to do, and effectively, no system.
Does anyone even know what our game plan is?
How the hell do you let a team score two goals against you in the last 33 seconds of a quarter? By having a coach who sits like a mummified corpse in the box, no emotion, no passion, no nothing.
He refuses to give players a chance to show us what they can do. Honey in for Gibbons would be a decent start. At least he can mark and kick over 50 metres. Fogarty is a second rate footballer at best. Setterfield, is useless. Murphy is gone. Ploughman is a waste of space.
Then our so called good players. Cripps is just going and that's all. Mackay shouldn't be playing if he's injured. Williams won't run out a full game. Jones has not got a football brain.
We have got a team full of passengers and the bloke driving the train and his assistant engineers are leading us down a very dark tunnel.
we are just weak
Mentally very weak.
What is wrong with being a club that actually wants to achieve rather than turn up for the pay cheque.
Been a very average game skill wise between two average teams, no accountability from our small defenders and the Hawks are hanging in. Wingard needs to be manned up better as he is really hurting us...Sam Walsh BOG but nothing else to get too excited about. Still expect to win but its far from impressive stuff and we should be beating this mob by 5-6 easily if we are any good.

Absolutely. Should have put them away and be just enjoying a win by now. Instead we are fighting for survival.

We've had a couple of goes at getting that far in front but then we think we are that good that we can just take our foot off the gas.

We aren’t any good mate.
Is there a game on?
Harry will have to impact the game or we lose. Simply as that.
I'm afraid I've got no words for our performance so far. My patience, like most of us, is almost gone.
Is Teague making sure Clarko doesn't want the gig?
Words fail me.
Blues players all smiles at the start of the 3rd
We aren’t any good mate.
I wouldn't get so pissed off if I didn't think we weren't any good. We simply don't want to apply ourselves. Can handle not being any good as long as they have a decent crack. Haven't seen that for years and years.
I'm afraid I've got no words for our performance so far. My patience, like most of us, is almost gone.
I have no words for that last few minutes.
What happens in their collective heads that they can have the better - by some margin - of the Dogs for 3 quarters then produce today's insipid garbage?
I just watched Gibbons at that throw in in our forward pocket. he stood there like a log of wood and watched Mitchell get the ball.
How many times do we build well only for stupid kicking into f50? what has to happen for that to change?
For gods sake.
and again kick and hope we are going to lose this
Plowman weak as p1ss!
Hawks have grabbed the initiative.
We are going to lose this
We are done
Exhausted, Insipid, lack of basic skills, embarrassing
Let’s finish up Murph, respect him but season done.
Williams can go to the 2’s. setters too.
Gibbo finished.
Doch isn’t a leader.
Clarko strikes again, but wait, the Pitt strikes back.
How many tackles do we miss or get palmed off?
Tackles have dropped off
We look very tired.
As soon as some pressure comes our blokes fill their shorts.
cant kick to save ourselves
Cripps needs a rest. Turns the ball over almost every touch.
Cripps doesn't know what to do anymore. His decision making has been woeful for a long time now.
Cue the Benny Hill music.

its the whole bloody team
We keep playing blokes not 100% fit. How will this affect the last qtr.
Gibbons' first decent act all day.
Now elfin go on with it FFS.
we need a Worpel on our team
Steadied the ship but can we keep it steady? Tough last qtr ahead.
Great quarter Murph. So important that we have someone that can use the ball inside 50 when we have so many blokes that couldn't hit the side of a barn.
By no means a convincing performance, but certainly better than the previous 1 1/2 q
Leadership will now determine the fate of this contest
If we lose from here I'm done.

throw him into the midfield now
Can we screwen stay goal side of Bruest please?
I love Stocker. will be a great player for us.
were out on our feet
were out on our feet
Absolutely.
lovin the effort Stockers is giving
Harry!!!
Harry having an off day and only one arm that works. Kicks a monster goal and just added 50k to his price.
I have one word... Harry
Listening on the wireless sounds like Plowman crunched O'Maera.
Apparently Walsh is injured too.
Walsh Ok.
Fugly win but Ill take it.

Both players hard at the footy, JOM came of second best. I little bit of head contact but should be ok.
Fugly win but Ill take it.
Yep.
Positives :
- 4 points
- almost 4 goal margin.
- nice spread of goal kickers
- no injuries that I'm aware of
But really, that 4 quarters shows why I thought finals was a real long shot this season
