At least the weather over here was sensational today  ;D
As it was in Darwin WP.

At least I won the golf - salvaged something from the wreck!

Congrats Smokey

Just caught up with friends and had a nice dinner so it hasn't been a complete waste of a trip

Basic football skills and brains killed us.Martin,McGuane,Jackson,Rance,Nahas and Newman and a few others at times turned it over and and made silly mistakes.Still got the habit of going to Jack when he has got no chance to mark it 2 on 1.

While I get why posters are unhappy with last night and absolutely we could've lost by 10 goals had Freo kicked straight - they didn't and we hung in there despite playing poorly.
The way we have been able to stick close to sides over this season is a major improvement - in 30 years we have been unable to avoid the blow out loss on multiple occasions happening during the year.
Even in our good years, we were always susceptible to the blow out loss.
Again, I get posters frustration and dismissing of this aspect because a loss is a loss - reality though is our list is limited and we are squeezing every last drop from it.
Application of talent is as important as having the talent to start with and the coaching staff should be :thumbsup for that.
Ross Smith, big positive for the club this year.

Cotchin is a champ as is delidio.  And tucky.

The rest can run 20 x 400 meter sprints and get punished for poor unexeptable performances.

The coaching staff need to raise the bar next year and not put up with mediocrity that still exists.

I was only really disappointed in the coaching and strategy yesterday - I reckon Hardwick does not know what to do against Lyon's game plan
