We're paying for the short term thinking that prevailed under Eade's reign unfortunately.

True, list management was very poor back then. It's a long season and plenty of time and games to go this year, I'd still like to see how MC get more games into those that need them.

That quarter had it all......no strength over the ball, panic hand balls, playing from behind, no running from behind, insipid spoils. Congrats dogs......you made an average team look elite.

How long does McCartney get to lean on that excuse?

fourth year now

Sorry, misread your post, thought you meant 4 years for Port. Sorry.

To be fair we are a long way off port at present

Absolutely. Port are three year ahead of us. They were cellar dwellers when we were making prelims and were wooden spooners in 2011 when we were still on the way down. We're still two to three years away.

Mighty crap performance that term.
The parallels with Port Adelaide just don't measure .
We've had GWS and GC getting the nice picks at the pointy end.our rebuild and there's don't parallel, simple
I'd like us to use F/A for once and not just fringe players from other clubs.

Just on the Cooney handball, whilst it was poor I'd love to know why Macrae though his job was done after he disposed of the footy.

As soon as he did that, all he did was take his eyes off the ball and not even look to stay in the contest and provide a shephard or anything.

That's indicative of where we're at presently. Not prepared to concentrate for long enough, and work hard enough for long enough.

A little while yet. Eade and Clayton left our list in disarray.

A tad unfair. Fair to say our ability to rebuild has been affected by the heavily compromised drafts in that time.

GC rolled over and exposed their underbelly to us but we are going to lose by 100 points.

Jeez Dixon really got some separation quite easily from Moz then.

Re: 2014 Game Day Round 10 - Gold Coast Suns V Western Bulldogs

Watching this makes me want top 3 pick this draft.

I need to see improvement in the second half. We've been competitive this year for much longer than we have in previous years but efforts like we're seeing today are not good enough for any team.

You can deny it all you like AP6, but our list was left in a disgraceful state after Eade left and we're paying for it now.

We'll get to hear from the usual suspects on here soon.
They're anonymous when we win .
No excuses though, this is a massive disappointment and frustration.
