I know I've said it a few times before, but I really am starting to believe that some of our so called good players who were around as far back as then, have some deep seated confidence issues that re-surface when ever they are put under pressure.

You might be onto something but the skills seem to desert some players when the pressure is on and I don't think it's just to a lack of confidence it's more around that their skills aren't that great to begin with.

His 13 touches and 1 tackle must have been absolute rippers then.

As I said, no one except Boyd has had 20+ possessions. Hahn did some trademark bullocking work through stoppages with his possessions, and is one of the few players who opened up space for us.

That's BS AP6, Hahn has had more impact on the game than most of the rest of the team. No more scapegoats, the whole team is putting in a crap performance, just one player with 20 possessions or more.

Something's wrong with my TV then...he looked old and slow from my seat.

I'm going to have to reevaluate flying to Melbourne in three weeks. I was so looking forward to seeing us play in the Finals...

Funny (not) but we always play other teams into great form don't we?
Just sooooooo disappointing.

It might pay to sleep on it for a couple of days.

They were travelling ok without our help. We're just in bad form and have injuries that are testing a depth we don't have.

Gvgjr after what we have been through in the last three weeks I was hoping at least you would have a voice of calm. Remember Woofers we go back to Melb and stay there my thoughts have always been that everything starts after the sydney game now after cooney we Might have to wait until after the pies. We all know that we should win the second final then we get our chance

He's never been quick, but that doesn't stop him from breaking tackles and getting the team moving in the right direction. If you can't see that then sure it's either your TV or your eyes.

Time to fess up Scorlibo, its ok you can admit it, you are Mitch's mum??

Fairdinkum if Mitch didn't perform well on the small SCG where his pace issues can be camouflaged then he won't anywhere. But we have bigger problems than Mitch.

In the bigger scheme of things:

Daniel Giansiracusa 2 33 41
Tom Williams 3 32 17
Robert Murphy 3 31 34
Brad Johnson 3 29 42
Adam Cooney 0 6 9

Our bottom five players of the night dreamteam wise, Cooney and Williams excused the rest are key players and leaders of the team. Didn't turn up....

I don't think stating that we are in poor form is an outlandish claim or particularly hysterical. It is in fact correct. Next week is meaningless. We are clearly a step behind the top 2 or 3 at the moment. It's true our season isn't over but there's a lot of really obvious problems at hand and we are a long way behind where we were at the corresponding point in the last 2 years.

Like Deja Vu. We could not get our hands on footy in the 2nd quarter.

Thought we looked OK in the first half of the 3rd quarter but did not make them pay.

Eagleton could have closed it to 7 points, misses, then they go straight down the other end and goal with a Shane Warne leg spin bounce.

After that, just fell away, simply non-competitive.

Basically played with 20 men tonight that could not of helped our cause.

How could things turn this bad in two weeks? We are basically guaranteed a top four position but can we do anything in September?

In recent years we have re-grouped to be competitive but it looks like we are are a spent force. Can we still blame the Flu impact? Have we fully recovered? Never good when you are making five changes. We need a settled side come two weeks time.

To top it all off, the Cooney hamstring is a tragedy. He makes such a difference to us, give us that zip around the contested footy we have missed so much in the last two weeks. If Cooney doesn't play in the first week of September we have no show I fear.

Must be, there's been about 15 worse than him. Boyd the only one who got more than 20 touches and as usual his opponent killed us

What is the obsession with DT stats as a measurable of actual meaningful football?
So sick of it.

I'm not sure how my comment could be considered as anything other than calm. It was just a question about how form can rise and fall so quickly.
