So we win games week after week and get bugger all posts glorifying how good we were. We won, tick, move on, who are we playing next week, lets start analysing and previewing...........
Tonight we lost and there's more posts on the main board than there has been for weeks after a game. Why is that?

not confident at all going into this match all week. nicks was ok but bigfooty, we were being so overhyped by our own supporters..
even though the last few weeks have been amazing performances i just knew we werent there yet. geelong are a whole different prospect. the st kilda game was still fresh in my mind |

It's not we lost it's how we lost. We looked Scared of the Cats and showed that are not as good as they are and I can't see use catching up to them for a While.
Just like the Problem with the Lions early last decade

Exactly! We win with big scores we enjoy it! we win by 1 point we enjoy it! we win ugly we enjoy it!
We lose to a mob that's had it over us for a while now and we want to dissect it and find out why we keep loosing to this mob and find the answer to beating this mob!

| Because we played like shit and people want to know why, why did we get pumped by a team that after even watching that game I think we should beat? |

Because some children throw tantrums when they don't get what they want.
There's nothing profound about the loss; they're the benchmark and we're on the rise. How hard is that to comprehend?

thank christ someone said it - this is hardly unexpected and besides, we played significantly better than ppl are making out.
its all about expectation. if you expect the pies to win the GF this yr, then this is a rough loss
if the expectation is that we still need a couple of extra pre seasons into our young mids and further development into our talls (dawes, wood, reid, brown etc), the result is about right. geelong are 2 time premiers and in great form after all
avg age of last ten premiers - 25yrs 5 months and 121 games
tonight;
pies - 24 and 2 months, 89 games
cats - 26 and 10 months, 123 games
we're bang on track. anything earlier than 2012 will be a great bonus (and well deserved for MM before he hands over) |

I disagree. there is nothing to suggest that we arent tracking as well as the cats were in 2007 or the hawks were in 2008. we campeted with the cats for most of the night but are just not quite there. we struggle against the cats and saints to keep any kind of forward structure. |

Honestly, Im not worried at all about our performance tonight. We had players down on the night, sure. There were some crucial decisions at critical points of the game. Johnnos handball deemed a throw was attrocious. Anyway Reid still continues to impress me , as with Beams. Neon was down , along with Dawesy I feel. tried hard though. Hey, round nine...meh. Still feel, with the depth we now have and the continuing improvement of our boys, all will be well at the crunch end of the season. Still very confident we can go ALL the way!

I think the concern is the players who were 'down on the night' is quite common against St Kilda and Geelong, the challenge for the coaching staff is how to rectify this. Davis, Didak and Cloke not kicking a goal between them is completely unacceptable.

Because we are 7 wins 2 losses at round 9.
Anyone on this board should be pleased with that. I know I am.
It is only May. Season has a long way to go. The only criticism of the game I have is 'what happened to the running' we went back to a defensive hole, bombing into our forward 50'. I thought that style was behind us. We just seemed to have forfeited our attacking game.
