    Nobody's happy. We just have different views on why we're in this position.

    Let's not trot out the accepting mediocrity line, let alone being happy with it.

    That's unfair. If we didn't accept mediocrity half of us would have been chased off this board years ago.

    There's nothing wrong with our team it's the teams we play against shouldn't be better than us and that's where the criticism should go.

    Yeah we should all just work together. Imagine if all 36 players on the ground kicked towards the same goals?
    The scoring would be immense!

    Accepting mediocrity only counts if you type it in all caps. It’s like MF Doom.

    Re: Sharp Axes

    Amazing that with a win against Hawthorn we'd be sitting in third position right now.

    While I'm not happy with five and five, the competition is very even and a good showing over the next few weeks might have us rethinking how our season looks.

    Should go into next week with confidence and a bit of a nothing to lose attitude. The 5-day break sucks though.

    Big month ahead.

    All of us would love to see this turn around and get back to contending.

    It's getting worse and worse every year so I expect it, but the hypertension around the first five to seven rounds and the media wanting heads to roll and putting a line through teams is ridiculous.

    The season is a slog and the teams are so even. Then you get some distortion like we did at the start of this year and it's hard to tell how good or otherwise teams actually are. It used to be that you'd await round twelve to fifteen to really know as most sides had played each other once, but that's not the case anymore.

    Next week is huge for us. We should be super confident that we can give Sydney a shake.

    2 out of next 4 wins should get Bevo the rest of the year. Miss the 8 he should walk.

    Sydney losing to the tigers is unbelievable.
