I hope this sticks in the craw of our guys. Threw this away.

I guess we learned a few things.

A key forward? My kingdom for a key defender.

Great signs for the future, just ran out of legs. Keep the draft picks high.

Really disappointed in Cooney, gave us nothing as the sub.

We sure as heck did.

Sadly we were beaten by a one man band. We have had a few close should have won games this year, I'm confident that next year we will go up a gear again, the drug cheats had us covered with experience, chapman etc were the difference.

I'm grumpy we lost but geeez they never gave in.

I know what you mean, but Schulz & Carlisle are very good players.

Which is what I touched one earlier. Our forwards looked lively in that game apart from the last but our defence was atrocious. Summed up the day when Carlisle, who had 8 on the board took an easy mark 40 out. He missed but how can he be that wide open?

Our back 6 were horrible, no team defence from any of them.

He needs to show something in the remaining weeks or his career is going to fizzle out as others pass him by in the pecking order.

It was good to see JJ repay the 3 year contract by butchering the ball. He was average today.

I was disappointed when Cooney came straight in at the expense of Mitch Honeychurch. A week or 2 at Footscray would have sent a positive message to the team about earning games, and given Coons a few weeks to regain match fitness.

Absolutely gutted about the result.

Agree. Cooney is no longer the player that demands a game right off the bat. There is nothing wrong with dominating at VFL and winning your spot back. He did nothing when we desperately needed someone to stand and he was fresh. Really disappointing.
