Don't be afraid Shawny? Back yourself 7-0, you're on fire! We're the team that never lets you down.
I hope you're right and unlike you I will admit I was wrong.

Mate im one on here that will openly admit if im wrong.

I not one to keep flogging a dead horse like others.

The question has been answered.

Voss was a champion player but never had it as a coach. Apart from one season in his decade of coaching he failed to deliver with the lists he had.  To see first hand the change the minute he left ends the discussion.

Fraser may or may not be the right selection but one thing is for certain Voss wasn't!

Think our run will end on Saturday night
Bar playing bottom sides our form is good enough to be capable of beating Hawthorn and most others. Doesn't mean we will, given how good Hawthorn can be, but certainly good enough to be a damn good chance. Same was said when we had to play GWS in Sydney.

Be nice to win and get on the positive side of the ledger. Reckon if we win this we're a chance of going 10 straight. Should have beaten Collingwood last time as we played most of the game with 17 on the ground, given Elijah's, and still only missed with a kicked after the siren. 2pts there could have been handy as it stands. After that it's the GC here and I'm certainly confident there.

We should have hit time-on in the last quarter with a 30 point lead, then the last 2 minutes is no longer a raffle.

Have to learn to take the chances that are offered and bury teams, and do so from the first bounce.

This game was so similar to the Essendon one - we didn't turn up to start either of them, and found ourselves 3 goals down against cellar-dwellers.  So you end up playing a game in 3 quarters, with a 3-goal penalty.  That makes both wins look better than the score suggests.

My worry is we cannot play the MCG all that well.
Geelong would disagree.

I thought our leaders were down,  as well as the middle management players like, Newman,  Hayward,  Florent, Ainsworth and Kemp. I don't think they played bad it was just that they didn't impact as much as previous. I think Richmond has a lot of good players and I think they really believe they can beat us because of last season so they lift against us. So while I think our endeavour was good,  our application was off, especially when Young went down, this seemed to unbalance the team. The missed free kick for McKay was a howler but didn't cost us,  Walsh was stupid to give his free kick just before quarter time,  but it should have been  reversed,  the free against Haynes wasn't bad but it should have been reviewed and over turned. They also missed a number of shots on goal but we missed more. We did get a lot of numbers around the ball, especially after quarter time, and our disposal has improved since the start of the year,  but our decision making going into the F50 still needs to improve. All these things we will need to do next week.
