    This could be an exciting game.

    As always, be constructive but be honest.

      1. We do cruel endings really well
      2. Devastated for Bob
      3. With Crameri, Dickson, Cordy, Collins and another free agent or top pick type player. We should be the real deal.

          1. We're there. This group makes me feel like they'll be better for this

          2. How confident is Roughy? Thought he could be a pretty solid ruck based on the first few weeks. I'm starting to think he could end up one of our best.

          3. Redpath should be in the side. We were heavily reliant on that long bomb to Stringer, another tall up there would've helped today

            1. We are capable of going the journey with this list, definitely.
            2. Tom Boyd has the hunger. Some of his work today in the last was epic.
            3. I am going to really struggle if Bob has done an ACL, the game can be very cruel.

              1. we are still too inexperienced
              2. we can play against the best
              3. Stringer is not Ablett and if he thinks he is then send him to Footscray

                1. Luke Dahlhaus may replace Bob as our heart and soul
                2. Stringer can be beaten by a quality opponent
                3. Suckling's experience in huge games paid off in the first half and may again

                  1. We have real fight as a team and refuse to accept we are beaten until we are - 5 goals down against the Hawks 2 years ago and it would have been a blowout.
                  2. Caleb Daniel is a gun - smart footballer who uses the ball well and can be damaging on the scoreboard.
                  3. Boyd/Roughhead should be our preferred ruck combination - mobile, agile, strong hands and competitive.

                      1. We have heart, fight and fitness . Once we have execution down pat we will be a contender.
                      2. If Caleb Daniel was as tall as his detemination he'd be bigger than Sandilands
                      3. Libba's & Dahl's 3rd quarters proves they are superhuman.

                        1. We can fight. And fight.
                        2. We are good but not good enough.
                        3. Dawks supporters are disgusting. Sledge our captain as he lay on the ground injured??? The karma bus will hit hard.


                        I also learnt to choose who takes my pic more carefully. Met Crammers at half time, sitting not far from me. "Photographer" takes 3 shots and not one was of me and Crammers. It's not that hard. On the upside, Crameri is a nice fella.

                          1. Wood is our most important defender, not Murphy.

                          2. Dahl has incredible spirit and heart, wish we had more like him.

                          3. We still choke.

                            1. That we are a genuine top 4 contender and you win flags from the top 4. Just a little disappointed it took us a quarter and a half to throw a punch but when we did gee it was special to watch.

                            2. Stringer needs to learn how to remain relaxed & composed in big games. Had a stinker today and it seemed the pressure is getting to him.

                            3. Need to learn how to play big games better. It was like we were waiting for a spark so we could get going. The experienced hawks don't need a spark they have played loads of big games and know what it takes to win.

                              Things I have learned:

                              1. I have anger issues.
                              2. Easton Wood missing games sucks
                              3. I must be the only person in the world who gets frustrated with Libba at times. I absolutely love him, but geeeeez when he effs up it hurts.
