Would need a mighty pre-season. Not a gut runner, a burst player.

I just walked out in disgust! Time to consider whether we sack this Coach!
I love this club and I hold anyone in contempt who does not think it is worth fighting for.

That’s the spirit, I guess it’s time for the loser cheer squad to arrive, where are you madonna? 92 or what ever number it is?

Still better footy than most of last year was!

Flu, covid, no ruckman, injured forwards, they ain’t quitting though

Unlike some very pathetic supporters
Yep, you hit the nail on the head. Some of our supporters have no idea, no patience and no intestinal fortitude. I hate to be in the trenches with some of these people.

Hiss we're playing at the MCG, we haven't played at Vic Park since '99.

Yeah but just the moments when we need a big inside body to bust the ball out.

This will probably go in one ear and out the other, but if you’re 1% off in a game of AFL the margins blow out. Look within the game at what our players are attempting to do you get a glimpse of the future.

What I like and why I’m positive is we’re learning better habits and they seem to be sticking. We lost today but we haven’t done what we always did in recent years when losing and fall back into bad habits. We’re still using the corridor and looking to go up the guts, looking for faster ball movement, and not stopping still

Lol are you serious? Buckley’s been gone how long, and how many games has McRae coached so far? Seriously dude
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...
