Terrible performance today. Late to the contest, smashed in the middle. Credit to Hawks ... they were great today.
Every team plays their GF against us. We have been the hunted all year.
Look we just need to finish top 4 ....top spot looking shaky. Finals in Adelaide and Brisbane are not an attractive option.
We need to play like we were earlier this year. We need to get hungry.
Are we good enough? Not right now.
At least the premiership favourite talk can now end. I really really hate it.
We have a month to turn it around

Only because MEL eliminated HAW for us.

We couldn’t beat HAW for ages, looks like nothings changed.

God this feels like 2011. A side that was so dominant, mid season fell away, fell into the finals.
That season we were better than now. Now we look cooked. I just want to break something.
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

Nice reminder. But just ask yourself this one question. Who would win out of our 1990 team or this one? I'd say 1990 by ten goals. Just the sight of Millane or Monkey would cause some of our players to wet their pants.

Goalless in two quarters vs Hawthorn.

No worries.

If we don’t beat Brisbane we’ll fall out of the Top 2. But right now, who cares.

No response from the last week, but the really alarming factor is this....21 other players in this team seem to have become reliant on a 20 year old to carry this side. Nick has a quite few weeks and this team is all out at sea.

This is so embarrassing. It’s the worst performance I’ve seen by this team for years. What a derailment, an absolute train wreck.
no second chances

So many negative people in this thread! Disappointing effort last couple of weeks, but we're sitting on top of the ladder, it's been an enjoyable season to date and we'll pick up in the next couple of weeks. Deep breath everyone!
Go Pies!!
