    If you want to watch 3 hours of the most insipid football we've played under Bevo, go right ahead.

    Would I? Not if you paid me.

    Leaving at half time to go and pick up some Maha meant I missed the only good patch of the game where we kicked 3 in a row. If you wanted to treat yourself and me, maybe watch that and tell me how slick we looked.

    Watch it and then help me understand.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    As you can possibly tell from the tone of the forum, it was an incredibly discouraging, I was going to say effort, but that would imply that there was any.

    Only Hawthorn fans would’ve called that anywhere near enjoyable, the 1st half was dull to watch, then it was just irritating. Neutrals would’ve switched off pretty early.

    Didn’t seem to matter enough to our guys, we really were dismal

    Part of me would like to hear your analysis of the game MJP but other than the Hawks were pretty good I'm not sure what you would get out of it.

    I went with you could but I wouldn't.
    Depends if you want to analyse the game for your own thought processes and whether you think we have dropped right off, playing with the mind set I want to be fit for finals and a lack of interest in these few games or we have been loading up on the training and where to knackered to compete or all of the above.

    It's not good to watch but you can always fast forward unless something catches your eye.

    Football is something I do for enjoyment. Yesterday offered nothing in that regard. Don't bother.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    I went with don't bother. It was putrid and without redemption.

    Move on, because we're not that bad.

    If you do watch it do it in 2x speed so you have less time to ruminate on how horrible it is.

    Yeah - I try not to read the game day thread too much...couldn't see much point in reading it at all after a loss to the Hawks. I figured it wouldn't have been great tho.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Not much analysis coming from me lately. My other footy life is enduring the worst season imaginable...Bulldogs footy is purely for enjoyment right now and I try to leave any analysis to the bastions of the industry - David King and Kane Cornes.
