I don?t feel confident about any match left this season.

Not until the first bounce. Then I?ll be woooo woooo hoooo hooooing and telling anyone who?ll listen that we can?t lose.

But Crom are def no easy beats.

I'm never confident, but the reality is to win the premiership, we probably need to go minimum 6-1 over the next 2 months. And I'll be shitting bricks over every single one of those, including North. We might be playing some of the best football I've ever seen us play right now and we're still long odds to win it all.

To me this week?s fundraising drive has been part of the unveiling of a brilliant new facility and celebrating our Footscray heritage.

Everything last week - lead into Melbourne - was Retro round, celebrating Footscray and 1954 premiership players around the club.

Everything this week was almighty dollar and fundraising and corporate guff. And an extended break (8 days between games).

Today's result was totally predictable and I am so bloody annoyed right now. Yep - the poor goal-kicking didn't help but guess what you don't do when you're not thinking about what you need to do better? Really challenge one another on the minutae of the game - like have specific stoppage setups to combat what was likely to be a dominant oppo ruck, taking your time and taking chances in front of goal, making sure defensive spoils are boundary side this week due to the danger of the Adelaide smalls.

After drinking their own bath water all week the players have decided to bottle some and sell it as part of their next fund raising.

I think with what was on the line, a potential top four spot and momentum going into finals that's in Bevo's worst two or three losses.

We never were in the game, were absolutely over awed by the moment and ended up getting smashed.

The gameplan is one way full boar all the time.

There's little nuance and when we are being hunted with elite pressure we keep playing the same way like headless chooks allowing the hunt to continue.

That first ten minutes of the third quarter was an abomination. Think we were 10-2 clearances against when we need to come out and show something with the importance of the match.

Fuming!

Why do you forsake us mjp, Kami of omens and portents? Was the offering not sufficient?
