      How can anyone argue that we have been playing really well.
      Bingo. The team had been steadily improving up until today, and by last week had at least some resemblance to last year, but I certainly wouldn't have said we have been playing really well. And no-one would say that about today's form.

      We could still make top 4, but without a further (edit: MASSIVE, after today) step up in form it will be hard to see us getting too far in September.

          No, the stats are telling tale of a mediocre game and are saying that we stink today. This game is gone. I hop ethey can recover to face the Lions next week.

            That's about all there is to say, really. Game's gone now.

              Ablett and Goodes are the only watchable players.

              Did the rest go out on the piss last night?!

                Game over. A very poor effort.

                A shame that our best player - Goodes - cost us the last two goals.

                    Unless we get results go our way we will be out of the Top 4 by Sunday Night. On this performance, deservedly so.

                        Absolute crap skills.

                        You cant keep missing targets in fwd 50 and expect to get goals.

                          at least davis will come in for somebody next week. who? richards has actually been alright today, apart from that miss. the problems up forward have been more to do with delivery than anything else.

                          drop bevan i guess.
                          then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

                            hopefully this is one of those losses you need to get the team refocused for the finals

                              They really should not need such a thing. This, to me, is the biggest difference to last year. I think it's a sign that we're not in the same mindset to win the flag.

                              Oh - we are playing so well, why change a winning line up and put in good players from the reserves...

                              Roos may be outstanding at during-the-week coaching and motivating, but his matchday tactics seem non-existent.

                                Rather watch the SBS test pattern.
