have to ask even if we won against carlton or gc what would you take out of it. very little imo skills  by both sides were terrible,  mistakes were terrible and many, there was little system. yet the game against stkilda was  top notch  we played some highly skilled mistake free footy with system against hawthorn and the same can be said in other games we have lost.

sometimes losing and the way you lose says more about a side than winning.
we have won some games this yr that were terrible we have lost some that were pretty good in the main.

the carlton game we were terrible and lost it happens.

Are you kidding me?

What will we have got out of it?

A lot more than beating the hawks or swans il give you that

In ladder positions not much but RESPECT.

Beat northern bullants, a team that has belittled us for 30 yrs thus ending their season

Play for the jumper and beat GC.
 
Instead they played for themselves and we once again became a laughing stock

We are the most unrespected organisation in the AFL. Everyone's second favourite team because no one fears us not even GC

100% correct Daniel.

beating the blues right out of finals contention would of been the greatest thing the club has done since 2001 finals.
Just ask Kevin Sheedy or Dermie how important it is for a club to stand up for itself.

No one fears us. Exactly right.

What was it that Leigh Matthews said about us being an egg?

Do you type your own password in or do you get your state appointed carer to do it?

"It looks as though we have very dumb football players playing for us but I ask would those players made the same fundamental errors if playing at Collingwood or Hawthorn or the Swans."

Pretty sure the Hawks had Tiger jumpers underneath last night, no other way to explain that last minute.
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Agreed. I don't like it and I have the right to say it.

Very good y&b.

Let me ask you something.......

Will hawthorn and Geelong play finals?
Or do they only dream about playing finals?

Both teams have proven they have great culture over a number of years.
My point is we don't have a good culture as yet.

Last night proved one thing there's nothing mediocre about geelong and I compare that game to our adelaide game. Us being comparable to geelong, geelong don't want to accept mediocrity and neither do they fall under mental pressure. That is how I wish we couldve lifted in that adelaide game and many more

na they got depth guys got nothing to do with Culture. hahaha some people have NFI

great club the cats

No need to rebuild there. Some wonder why Balme never wants to leave.

They will only lose Scarlett but at the same time gain Vardy, Varcoe in 2013

They have been told by most footy people they will miss finals, older players no good, even Hawkins is rubbish i remember clearly.

Look at them now, can beat anyone in the 8 and although a big long shot i hope they can on to win it.

I have the utmost respect for their organization.
