10.5 wins was an improvement on last season but its a fail overall. Todays effort means Hardwick has a decent message to give over the summer months. That is that todays effort and all the other efforts that resulted in small losses is just a complete and utter FAILURE! We need better players.
Top post flags.  :thumbsup

We know its pathetic. The coach knows we failed. The club knows they failed as do all the players.
But so many think this year has been a success.  :banghead

No excuses! We should be playing finals. Not good enough.
End of story.
Today was another pathetic effort.
Absolutely peeweak.

Great Post !!! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

No point in only highlighting a portion of what I said to form an argument.
I said he lacks confidence and mongrel.
We probably won't make it at the club, but that reflects on the club an their inability to develop players particularly in the past. Has the kid even played 50 games yet? How often does he string more than 5 games together? Has the club ever found a role for him and pushed for him to develop in that role??

He has the ability, and as I said he lacks the confidence. Whether or not that is anexcuse does not hide the fact it is the truth. I also said he lacks mongrel

Agree there's been improvement; though after today it's hard not to question that too :-\ but overall we finish in the "red" therefore it's a fail

But I think people misconstrue people acknowledging improvement as people saying it equates to a successful season. They are two very different things. I didn't expect finals but the end result of 10-1-11 is unacceptable IMHO

Agree boys whilst 10.5 wins is statistically an improvement on last year I aree we needed to at least get to 12 wins as a pass mark IMHO even though I felt at the start of the year we were not ready for finals this season.

What disappointed me the most today was in this, in the last two seasons we have lamented in giving away our home ground advantage for $500K and thus a 6 goal start and here against one of these clubs who we sold out on our home ground advantage we could not even win.

Soft soft soft Tigers. :wallywink

Watching the footy today was a little like watching one day cricket....boring and meaningless.
Happy jacky boy won the Coleman though.

I think you're spot on al calling yesterday's game bruise free footy. A sunny Sunday arvo in the last round going through the motios in a game that was meaningless. We played well off our Port opponents all day and gave them so much space. It definitely felt like we were trying not to get injuries (well that worked well with Dusty and Helbig going off).

Our structures failed as well. For 2.5 quarters Port continually had free players on the wings at centre bounces. It took until late in the third qtr for us to go 1-on-1 over the ground. The last few minutes were a repeat of the Gold Coast game. Allowing free Port players everywhere and us not being able to maintain possession and control of the footy. When you kick down the line with a minute or so to go you don't have everyone going up for the mark and keeping the ball in play. You get it across the boundary line and reset the play. Likewise when the coaches push all but 2 players behind the ball you don't just blindly kick it forward straight to the opposition with free space and numbers everywhere .

ps. A special mention also to the umps yesterday who had no idea. The didn't favour anyone (both sides copped shokers) but the inconsistencies all day were laughable.

It was a re-run of the Fremantle game minus the excuse of 'bad weather'. There are worrying signs for next year........still.

A pertinent point about the selling of home games and then failing to win at home in such a game, Tucker.

When i heard the result yesterday i was thingking similar. It highlights that the line of thinking that selling home games cost us is not that solid.
