    Hindsight is wonderful, but this is just a celebration of failure to justify pessimism.

    While I am extremely disappointed with our current position I prefer to retain a glass half full outlook rather than your glass half empty viewpoint.

    That's all well and good but once you get past say pick 3 or 4 it usually becomes a very open field, so much so that being happy to lose multiple games to claim a spot 2 picks higher is just not worth it. If the option is pick 8 with losses or pick 10 you are going to choose pick 10.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    We also need the supporters to back the team in when the shieser hits the fan
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    I wish this week's game wasn't on at such bloody awful time. Twilight on a school night is just impossible for us.

    Will just have to settle for being there in spirit.
