and I'll go and support them again next week hoping they'll win
and the week after.

I go to the footy to see my team win Not

go and watch my team hoping they lose!

All this draft crap is just that

Build a bridge you lot

We are being shown what happens when players are there that want to play and have the ability.

Fish
French
Bentick
Simmo
Stevens
Fev
Waite
Scotto
Chambers

Now to develop
BRYAN - CHB
CARLOS - CHF

Hope that someone can stand up and become a Fullback - Hartlett.

The side begins to look ok doesn't it?

Seriously SHHH, how many players in that list can you build a team around?

Possibly Waite, one day.

Surely no-one is fooled by a couple of wins against (a) Richmond, last season's 16th placed team and (b) Collingwood, who had at least 8 first-choice players out and went into the game with a dubious mindset.

We haven't magically turned the corner, any more than we suddenly 'clicked' when we won 3 out of our last 4 last season.

It was a mirage then, and what happened last night is also a mirage.

Three key positions

Fullback - hope that Hartlett can step up?
CHF - the toughest position on the field, and we're hoping that Carlos plays there?
CHB - Bryan, our stopgap ruck gamble from the VFL?

This tells me one thing, and it isn't that we've got a lot to look forward to. It tells me that draft picks aren't 'crap'.... they're our lifeblood.

Of course it doesn't!! What do you bloody well expect!!!??? Our key, star players have been terrible this year... just imagine, Campa, Stevo, Kouta, Whitnal, Scotland were playing awesome football, consistant football all year.... along with the likes of Fish, Waite, Betts, Simpson, Walker, Bentick, playing good footy... We would be no where near the bottom of the ladder... it is not about lack of players.. it is about lack of form.

Can't wait until this season is over and we can look forward to 2006.

A lack of form for 15 weeks straight?

That's some blip.

we still have a huge hole in our defence, Thornton is the only defender we have.

They aren't capable of playing awesome football (besides Stevens).

Beat me to it JM.

How can players the supposed quality and experience of Campo and Lappin be out of form for a whole season?

To me it just shows that their time may be up and there stars waning.

I was talking about the senior players Marissa mentioned :roll:

I rate Simmo........rated him since he kicked a goal running the whole field against Sandy back in 03. AB has to show he can match it with the best. He's done everything asked of him so far late this season
