    We’re miles off it.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

      When there’s this many players out of form the buck stops with the coach. But clearly he’s protected because he won us a flag years ago. He needs to go.

        People who love this club can’t be frustrated that for a multitude of reasons have most likely pissed our season down the sink?

        3 weeks ago we were flag favourites… now we’re likely to go into a EF as an outsider. How does that happen?

          I am with you. That was a tough game against another contender who have won 10 of their last 12.

          Bont and Libba tagged out of the game didn't help.

            C'mon man. The effort was there? Maybe it was as we ran around aimlessly. We were chasing shadows all night. No system around the stoppages and centre bounces. No system entering inside 50. Again, comes back to Beveridge and the coaching team.

              How can you blow a top 4 spot after being entrenched for 20 weeks?

              It's utterly disgusting.

              Then he rucks Bont.

              How the *!*!*!*! can his position not be in question?

                If we find a half-decent ruckman in the off season we're a decent side.

                  I won't feel bad for saying Ladhams looks like Mattingly.

                    No one tagged Bont… he’s just gassed.

                        I'm as frustrated as anyone but I believe the boys showed up with the right intent.

                          No we aren’t. We just have players out of form and 3 players coming back off long spells who aren’t match fit. Port are a hard side. We are thereabouts just need to fix some structural issues as well. Plenty to work with.

                            He can't ruck Dunks because he might leave.

                            One trick pony, hasn't recovered after the rule changes after 2016 and is to stubborn to change. Bring someone else in, I'm done with this

                              How COVID destroyed our mid season break and time off … has that taken a toll? We look so flat. No energy in the last three weeks.
