    The only redeeming feature of this year so far is that we're still in the positive I n the Hrovat trade.

    On paper maybe. If we continue to kick the ball in high, slow and long then it just makes it even easier for them

    Or. Stick with me. Maybe they can shift Liam Jones forward.

    Then he just continues the proud history of poor forwards kicking a bag against us.

    Great example tonight of how one team, Essendon, can continually throw their way out of stoppages without penalty e.g Merrett, Heppell etc whilst we get all the scrutiny and subsequent punishment for actions far more discreet than what's on show tonight.

    Watching Freo butcher inside 50 after inside 50 and post 2 goals 13 and just dominate for 20 and be 29 points down reminds me of us for a big part of the year. Dockers just got their 3rd. Trail by 23. 30 secs to go and they give away 50mt. Kennedy goals so they lead by 29. Dockers their own worst enemy. But they are still in this.

    Just got home and saw they don't have their kicking boots on. We know what it feels like to have so many missed chances.

    Really that game was just thrown away by the Dockers. Even in the last they had multiple opps to win but the last kick inside 50 was invariably maked by Hurn et all or fell short of the leading player and left him in the lurch. Eagles scored easy goals on the turn over.
    Eagles really outplayed in the 2nd half.
