And so it goes.... As usual!

[EasternWest]

I'm so SICK of losing because we fail to put games beyond reach. I wonder how many newspaper reports in our tragic history reflect the theme "Dogs unable to strike killer blow". We get a lead, we dominate play, but we never, ever, never kick that final goal that breaks the other sides back. Teams know they are always a chance against us because we DO NOT and most probably CAN NOT put them away.

I'm sick of it. Sometimes I hate that I'm so attached to our team.

I still love you Dogs, I always will, but please stop breaking my heart.

What a shocking end to the most disgusting game of football I've ever seen. I can't even be bothered getting angry. A season that promised so much is looking shaky right now.

Can't believe we let that slip... They needed to kick 3 goals in 5 minutes when they'd kicked just 4 goals for the previous 75 minutes. Heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking. 3-3 looks so much worse than 4-2. We're really going to have to show our mettle for the remainder of the season.

I'm the exact opposite. I don't usually have such visceral emotions, but we HAD to win tonight. If we are "contenders" and they are "contenders", then we had to teach them that without Riewoldt we'll squash them. Put doubt in their minds. Instead, we've inspired them with confidence and they've put doubt in our minds. God I'm pi$$ed off right now.

And we've beaten Richmond, Adelaide and a shabby Hawthorn and lost to 3 top 8 teams.

I'm not convinced we fell for anything rather than not take the crucial opportunities we had to put it beyond their reach.
I think the staff and players all knew that the Saints being 3 goals behind in a very low scoring game, would have to try and sieze the initiative and score quickly, we just failed to execute, again.

Radio call said that both sides looked utterly buggered by the end.

Our next two games are looking shaky IMO.

Re: And so it goes.... As usual!

We were completely out on our feet with 15 minutes to go. It was pathetic - to think teh Saints had a 6 day break from an interstate game, and No Riewoldt and Gram and we still couldn't get them....

...we are just losers.

At the moment we just look a slightly better than average side, so a few games look shaky IMO. Our 3 wins have come against sides that have won 1 game between them.
