We are likely to drop the next two with a line in the sand game against the Crows. Drop that and it's going to get ugly.

But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

I still think it could be. I was very encouraged that after a stinker against the Tiges, they came out with hunger and were fierce and desperate. I was even more encouraged that after blowing our lead and everything going wrong in the third quarter, we still played with belief in the last quarter. There were games over the past couple of years when we’d have allowed a 10 goal thrashing.
Not a lot has gone right. We’ve had little continuity and a key link man Hunter missing as well as our most exciting key position player and a hard nut Dunkley who was in good form. It’s a real shame we didn’t pull it off last night as it would have done a lot for self belief which is often a fragile thing in BulldogLand but isn’t it strange to think that even with a diabolical forward line we outplayed the flag favourites on their own turf and were 3 or 4 skill errors away from beating them .

We shouldn't be too disheartened with our performance last night. I thought Bevo did well from the coaches box last night and watch other teams copy that blueprint when they play Port over the next few weeks. We were beaten by a good team on their home ground and as you have pointed a few things didn't go our way especially our composure and skill execution cost us. I remain optimistic that we can still get something positive out of the season.
Bevo desperately needs to get the selections sorted out though. The changes aren't making a positive impact although Dunkley )Of course) was pretty good. Weightman and R.Smith though didn't perform
If we can build on our performance against Port and tweak a few things we might give Brisbane a run for their money
