      1. We are probably not the destination club we thought we were going to be this trade season.
      2. I'd happily take Lever off their hands, just to allow them Gibbs. That's just how kind I am.
      3. There needs to be a full review of the club at every level. We climbed Everest and then fell horribly down it.

        1. There are no goalposts at the Whitten oval, only point posts.
        2. It is time to bring the kids in for the rest of the year.
        3. We need two KPD's.

          1. Our coach is starting to look like Macca. Completely lost at sea with no plan B.

          2. Our players don't give a shit

          3. Numb the pain, a bottle of red wine does not....

            I'm also a bottle down and just as disheartened..but c'mon. as much work as there clearly is to do it's the easy route to go points 1 & 2..some intellectual dishonesty at play to denounce coach and group right now. We've had more highly touted teams come up short where Bevo and Co have found a way to give us what we never thought possible.
            As much as I hurt that 2017 is looking beyond us we need only look at Hawthorn to see how we can recover our mojo.
            Let's be critical and angry, as we should, but let's not reach for pitchforks and torches.

              1. Jake Lever would be worth every cent.
              2. The amount of players that have gone backwards this year is alarming.
              3. Jake Stringer needs a massive kick in the arse. Work rate was non-existent for most of the game.

                I thought he was excellent in the first half. Played high and sometimes rotated through the midfield. 2nd half deep forward?

                  1. Our best is still clearly good enough.
                  2. Our worst is the worst in the comp.
                  3. Careers will be determined for many players in the next 7 weeks - there is still a massive amount to play for

                    1.Mcclean and dale did some good things tonight. Dale has nice balance and keeps his feet very well. MacClean tackling sticks
                    2.redpath for at least providing a lead ip forward
                    3. Zaine tried hard all night just outmuscled by Jenkins who is a Monster
                    4. Bonts was very clean with the ball for 3 quarters

                    Anchors:
                    1. We look slow, easily pushed off the ball and lose our feet. Also are we unfit ?
                    2. Our forward line is dysfunctional. no offence to HC but he is not performing role as of small forward , fumbly, not quick , lost his footing and out marked all night. Clay is strong in contest but his got a massive turning circle. We cannot kick a goal from 40-50'm out
                    letting Koby go was a big loss as he was the depth we really need

                    3. Are players like Kelly ,ottens and even laird that good a mark? They seems to be eating them marks up all the tonight
                    4. Tex for pushing JJ into tha goal posts and pathetic umps for not reportering , disallowING the goal and no free
                    5 we kicked 1'goal after half time just so painful to watch. Just pathetic , given how serious head injuries are taken.AFL
                    , it was a deliberate, negligent dog act.

                            1. Can't see us winning another game this year.

                            2. The standard of AFL football this year is at an all time low, and it is boring to watch. I tried to watch the GWS v Geelong "match of the round" last week, and was laughing at how pathetic the skills of many players are these days.

                            3. As bad as the standard of the game is, it is miles ahead of the standard of umpiring. Embarrassing.

                              Currently a shoot out at the SCG, the ball is pinging around like a squash ball.
