... that we're not that bad.

Evidence: Collingwood (without Buckley and with Rocca injured early) lose to the weagles by 14 points, over there (and were ahead in the last quarter).

Perhaps last week we got slammed by a bloody good football team.

Guess we'll see what happens tomorrow.

In eternal hope - Go Blues

Nah were crap... How do you explain losing to Richmond by 8 and then the swans by 7, yet the Swans thump Richmond by 118....

We now have our favorite position on the ladder, a position we have made our own over the years... Not happy at all.

I was thinking the same thing tonight. Collingwood look like they're travelling pretty well.

Richmond have beaten others also.

We're probably still that bad though...

I think the overall performance of the team is probably close to a par with most of the bottom six or seven, but we seem to lack a killer instinct, hence these close losses (and a thumping by a genuine form team). Being on 5 year slump we are down on confidence and also now quite young, and when there is chance to nail that decisive goal, we stuff it up.

Richmond may have won some games but who were they against, us, bombers and brisbane I think, three cellar dwellers. Lets hope we can beat one of the other cellar dwellers tommorrow (please :P )

I still think we have improved ..... doesn't stop us from being fragile though.

There have been a million posts on this site bagging our foot skills, (or lack there of). Turn overs kill us. We win the pill around the stoppages, donate it to the opposition, and get slaughtered by bludgers that didn't chase. I sometimes think that opposition coaches plan around our turn overs!!:wink:

Plus .... the Wobbles did kick quite a few "freak" goals last week. It was their day!!

We're not great .... but "we're not that bad" !!

Collingwood belted Geelong by 102 points, Cats were never in it. At least we were competitive for a half.

Richmond beat Adelaide today.

Maybe they're better than we thought.

Cats beat Saints last week so we must have a chance tomorrow.

It is possible .......
that people will fall off supporting our beloved club. I hope not as we need all the support we can muster in the darkest time of our proud history. We will be back.
