    All is not lost...

    Last night was one our of our worst performances for the year, along with the two Hawthorn games, and the North game. However, it isn't as bad as some may think.

    - We can beat Collingwood, as we did earlier in the year, down here.
    - It was wet, and we play very poorly in the wet, as we can't get our running game going. Collingwood seem to play better in the wet than the dry.
    - Collingwood were very good, we were very ordinary, and yet we only lost by three goals, that can't be a bad sign.
    - Meiklejohn, probably shouldn't have played, because of the conditions, and mayabe Schneider and Davis could have had more ground time. Hopefully Roosy will learn from that.

    There is still no doubt in my mind, that we are a better side than Collingwood. We lost last night, so beit, let's get on with next week. I understand Doyle played in the 2's, he has to come back in and play against Melbourne. Brad Seymour has to be a chance, he's played 3 games I think now, and has been named in the best everytime I think. He has finals experience and could be another inclusion.

    Jamesy will only get better, as we know how much ability the bloke has got.

    If we beat Melbourne, and results fall our way, we'll finish in the top 4. Then from there we can have a full tilt at September.

    Let's get behind the boys, and hopefully some of you sydney-siders can make the trip down for next week

    Go Blooders!!

    There is no doubt in my mind that Roos is doing the most important things in coaching very very well. But is he improving on his weaknesses week to week ? such as his penchant for unsuitable match ups, and benching potential champions for prelonged periods of time. ?????

      Good point Footyhead. We were out coached last night and against Hawthorn. He has been a great coach this year. But think about this for a minute, for most of the season, Roos was always introducing something new and exciting, in recent weeks that hasn't happened.

      Maybe Doyle and Seymour in for the Melbourne game, could be the perfect opportunity for him?
