    So who is brave enough....

    To say this team whose lost to Essendon, Hawks & Port WILL absolutely beat Essendon in Adelaide next week?


    Adelaide is our nominated venue for home Finals. Brisbane will beat WCE and by more than 0.1%

        Dons are actually playing really well have nfi why people discount them.

        Toss a coin in that one, but I'd be backing the form team.

          We need to make at least 3-4 changes to win as we have too many non contributing players at present.

          Tonight would be heartbreaking so big test to see how we go.

            They beat us 12 days ago. I’m not going to say we will absolutely beat them.

            In the past two weeks we’ve kicked most our goals in bursts, and looked impotent the rest of the time.

            If we go ‘Threepeat: Done in 1 in ‘21’ - then I can’t see how there’s not wholesale review and possibly change in many areas. Stagnation in the form of three years out in week one is unacceptable.

            I want to win. I don’t trust this playing group anymore this year.

              The problem is will we? Our attitude has been poor for 3+ weeks now. The coach can’t fix it, not sure why it will change next week

                Not can. Absolutely will, was the question.

                  That throw against Young with just over a minute to go sure looked like a handball on the replay.

                  Their weight of numbers proved too much in the end - went for a walk after the Rohan winner in Geelong (wow hasn’t THAT come back to bite us) how will I process this?

                    He can fix our structural issues. He can stop picking out of form players. Our selection integrity is non-existent.

                      Just tell him what my dad did. This happens to you for the rest of your life.

                      That shit minutes vs Geelong, and those pissed away 4 premiership points could’ve wallpapered the huge cracks. Maybe that’s silver lining

                        If our mids continue to struggle, we won't be progressing far in September. They were well beaten again tonight by the opposition mids.

                          Our output over the last 5-6 weeks was spiraling. Ports inaccurate goal kicking made this closer than it was. Other than the first 10 mins, was we REALLY in the contest ?

                            We just look vert flat. Guys are either under done coming back from injury or they haven't missed a game and are looking tired. Macrae looks spent. We don't have the spread we had at the start of the year and the manic handball.

                            Just not sure what to make of it. Adelaide suits us so no excuses.

                              Season is over. Week one and done for us. I think I saw a stat along the lines of no one with a record like ours over the month heading into finals has won one.

                              It’s a massive embarrassment, not far removed from missing finals in 2017.

                              We’ve absolutely pissed an oppprtunity for the flag to wag again down the drain. Pissed it away.
