Even if the frees were 50-0 in our favour, the scoreline would hardly read any differently. Whatever we showed in the Port game, seems almost like a dream.

Judd carried us for years and now that he's gone our weaknesses are badly exposed.
Apart from Murphy we have a pedestrian midfield which lacks pace, we have no forwards at all tall or small, we have no outside runners with pace and skill and our one decent key defender is approaching the end and his best days are past.
Of our young players only Cripps looks certain to develop into a 200 game player, Holman and Buckley look likely but they could just as easily go the other way, we have no young key position players and no young ruckman.
It's going to take years and if we take anything from tonight it should be just how much work we have in front of us to match it with the best, let alone beat them.
Umpires are irrelevant to good teams by the way.

Not to mention;
- the tunnelling in the marking contest
- the 6 meter kicks that are paid marks
- the cribbing the mark
- the non-holding the balls
- the sniping off the ball

That dont get paid against hawthorn.  They play unsociable football, yet that's the free count?

A fully fit Gibbs, Thomas, carrots, walker, graham and yarran (assuming he's not fit) would help the mid field.  But it still doesn't help up forward - what the f do we do to fix that.   Hendo is doing stuff all, but if he goes, we will have less than nothing up there

MickyO, I said exactly the same thing last week at the Freo game. Watched him all night and I said to the people next to me "he's on the take".

It's a terrible accusation, but some of his screw-ups (when your saw them live) were just suspect.

He improved after half time last week when it looked like Freo had control.

I'm not delusional I know we wouldn't be close but are you watching live at the ground? 90% of the free kicks to them Have been absolutely inexplicable- absolutely. And they are dirty divers too along with being snipers and corkerers! I will enjoy their downfall when it
Comes arse holes

I was watching football and have been involved in football at the Club while you were still a spermatozoa in your fathers scrotum, you Richard Cranium.
Obviously still doesn't make you an expert NIC

Show me a post where I ever claimed to be an expert.

I'm just another punter expressing his opinion.

Mind you, I have formed that opinion having had a tremendous amount to do with footballers and the Club over a very long period.

The beauty of living in a Democracy, rather than living in Iran or Syria or Iraq, is that you actually get to express your opinion, without getting your head literally chopped off.  That's what Carrots did, and I responded.

Carrotts and I have this long standing love affair and every time he has a go at me, I get a stirring in my loins.

I treat this forum as a place to vent my feelings when we put up a performance like tonight. It's far better to do it here than kick the cat or belt the missus. The cat would run away, the missus would hit me much harder than I could hit her. So it's much safer here.

I'm happy to have a reasoned debate with anyone on this forum. We can always agree to disagree.

Boekhorst copped a cheap shot from Gibson in the guts which hasnt done much for his confidence and Gibson needs some payback...
