    And if that eventuates this time the haters won't be able to scream it is as a result of AFL favours ( as they do about academy picks).

        Our NEAFL team looks great. Can we ask the AFL if we can make the seniors play the curtain raiser for the magoos?

          We could easily win the next ten games given the Bullies are just going. We don't run into GWS, Cats or Crows before then. 10 - 5? I'd take it.
          Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

            We get a chance to even the score in July with a fit and seasoned team.

              Oh dear Hawks leading Eagles by 27 points half time. If they win we will be bottom of ladder. Positive point? Well it will be a novelty for most of us as fans!

                We've faced some tough opposition in the first weeks. Losing to West Coast, Bulldogs and GWS is not unexpected as they're all quality teams. Losing against Port was disappointing but that sort of thing can happen first game. The only game we really should have won was against the pies and we lost by a point. 0-5 looks bad but we've got easier games coming up and quality players back from injury

                  I'm positively annoyed that the Hawks are beating West Coast. Relegated to 18th

                    The kids look promising but just haven't had the senior support they would have in previous seasons.
                    Hayward and Papley look like real forwards, something we have been lacking.
                    Sam Reid has survived five games and would have to be in our top five (three) players for the season.
                    Parker looks to be getting back to the level he should be.
                    Lloyd had been surprisingly good in the midfield considering the others that have been of their game.
                    Rohan didn't pull anything.
                    Heeney looks like can be the footballer we want/hope he can be.
                    Tippo didn't get injured.
                    Sinclair showed glimpses of his forward potential. Although I think he is suffering from the same lack of confidence infecting the whole team.
                    We can't get any worse with our forward entries, can we?
                    Surely the ball will start to bounce our way soon. It seems our opposition has had all the luck. But luck seems to go hand in hand with confidence which we had for around eight minutes last night ...

                      Which they're now doing! We will be on the bottom after this round. On a positive note, I reckon we might be 5-5 by round ten......if we improve stat!

                          I adore my collection of wooden spoons. They're so beautiful.

                            Positive point - we lost to GWS by less than West Coast did to Hawthorn. Well yes, I am scrounging for positives here I know.

                              And yes, I'm sure that it says somewhere in the bible, that it is truly character building, to flagellate oneself with a wooden spoon.
