One dead rubber doesn't win the ashes
Get off the merlot and sober up please
You are showing your 30 years of gullibleness
We need to win games that count ie crunch games
This year is a carbon copy of the last 8seasons
Nothing to play for in the last 6 weeks
You're right nothing to play for in the last month.
Why turn up and win meaningless games and provide false hope for next year.
Better if we got thrashed in them and have no expectatations for the rest of this year and next.
Last thing we would want is think we have a chance to beat Carlton in Round 1 2013 when really
we can't even beat the Northen Bullants sustitute quarter time orange peelers 18.
That way we can all preach next year its 31 years instead of 30 years. 
Makes life so much easier that way. 
Come on Tucker, you cant get really excited about last night. be truthful. Is it not the slightest bit hollow?
For me it is. Yep take the 4 points winning is better than losing, but does it not amuse you when you see jackson and mcguane think they are superstars against a very very poor Brisbane side.
The remaining games dont mean a lot to me to be honest.
What means a lot is seeing kids get games ahead of the same old spuds. Also to beat the Bombers and knock them out of 8 would end the year on a positive note.
Have we improved on last year. Well not yet but id say we will finish the year better, marginally.
For mine until we can make finals and break some embarassing hoodoos i.e Blues, Cats, GC, i wont be getting as excited as others seem to about our 2013 chances.
Not over the moon not by a long shot.
However based on what we have seen this year we will end up with more wins than last year.
A better % too.
Despite some galling losses we haven't been blown away in any game. 44 points being our worse loss and 21 the next worse.
Yep we need to overcome the Carlton's and Geelong's of this world and win some close games and show some poise but that will come.
We'll see about 8 list changes again this year which is what we need anyway.
I'm hoping we can trade away blokes like Jako and Edwards also for handy picks too.
Furthermore a kid like Ellis overall has been good add Conca's improvement and blokes like Batchelor Grimes Helbig came back yesterday, Vickery Foley to come back in.
If Chaplain is coming well there is another big tall defender and we haven't got to trades, drafting or anyone else through free agency and whilst yep I'm gutted we have lost some games this year we had no reason to lose I am still of the belief that we are a shot next year.
Hey Daniel you as most here know I was not convinced by Walla$$ and I voiced my disapproval at the team at the selections and the progress of the club as whole so I am not averse to giving criticism to the club and this was back in 2007 go through my posts however I feel that despite the sentiment of some posters that the club is worse off I am not of that voice and I see far more upside than downside. Its not same old same old but like with all things what I see you may not see yet or some others and that's okay. I just believe we are on the right track.
It has nothing to do with a 48 point win over an experimenting Brisbane nor a big win over the Dogs next week either but it has to do with what I have seen. Our best is brilliant and our poor is diabolical and until we can bridge that gap even more yes we will struggle overall but what this team has had for the most of the year is heart and whilst that may not be reflective in some near misses at least Dimma has them playing for him and whilst Dimma and Benny have the playing list then we are fine. As I said add a few more to the list from the draft and take away few spuds and our list on paper already looks a whole lot better and that for me is better than where I sat 12 months ago given the state of decay and disrepair Walla$$ left the list in.
If people can't look through all the results and see it that way then that's fine also each to their own but I am confident of success and making finals as it turns out, wasn't convinced this year and hence I am not running around thinking the sky has fallen but next year is when I feel the team will show some more marked improvement and come up a few more rungs on the ladder also.
