Is this the same Holland whose form is so good at the moment that he is playing in the VFL this weekend, despite the Hawks also losing another tall (Thompson) for the game through illness?

That was the turning point where we lost that all important momentum. Fosdike mucks around far too much, it would be fine if he had the skills but he doesn't. Therefore kick it direct.

I have watched that on replay, and it was probably the worst bit of play all day. He didn't look, if someone called from that distance how could he know who it was, and he had already stepped back inside his opponent and could easily kicked the footy for Williams to run onto it. He is a genuinely dumb footballer.

Would you believe the dill in the Sunday HS had Fosdike in our best, when he didn't have a kick in the first half!!!!

I don't feel they played badly - I think for some parts we played better than they have all year. Sorry - against Kangaroos 3/4 was great.

Freemantle and Port lost so we have hope of moving up. But we are where we deserve to be 10th and we can't get all het up about it - that is what is happening - we have had a really bad run with injuries - and lengthy ones too.

Two good young ones snapped out before season begun. Goodes prospects probably aren't good for this year.

So lets play on and maybe give game time to young ones and get them up and going. Rogers is okay needs game time. Davis is running up field and getting involved - Hall got up field and active too yesterday.

As long as we can get a few more wins and keep Collingwood on the bottom all is not lost.

How the hell do we have any chance of beating Hawthorn next week? We were beaten for height in the forward line yesterday and the Eagles have no quality tall forwards. Everitt will carve us up, totally outclassing Ball & Doyle (who will have to come back in for Goodes), and guys like Holland will destroy our defenders.

Season over. Give the injured guys a rest, particularly Davo, and just let the others enjoy themselves with no pressure to win games (sound familiar).

I bet you tipped Port today, too.

It may be better to play the Hawks now that they are no longer so desperate for their first win since R1.

Some shocking football in patches - things like turning the ball over twice from kick outs in the last five minutes and Fosdike handballing to Judd who kicks to Cox and goal when the difference is a few points.

Man that hurt to see. Of all the people for him to give it to...

And Leo trying to break tackles and run it out of the goal square, instead of just throwing it on the boot, leading to a Weagles goal annoyed me just a little.

No, he should have run it through for a behind, not thrown it on the boot (although that would have been fractionally better than what he did).
