Deledio and Rance are in our top 5 players irrespective of what some people say about them. Rance was super today but according to some he's not up to it lol.

First 45 minutes disgraceful and simply attrocious
Excellent beyond that point
Vlastuin, Conca, Rance, Deledio, Jackson, Cotchin excellent
Grigg, A.Edwards and Houli lucky to be in the side although Houli is trying to cover for too many other people not carrying their weight or mistakes. Alot of the side were ok today. McDonough is improving. Today was our best performance of the season when we discount the first 45 minutes.
Umpires hate us. Hardwick coached good today.
We dropped and fumbled everything, absolutley everything.
I think it took more than 10 minutes before a couple of good productive passes were strung together.

BUT, I saw more hard running and tackling than I have seen in the past 6 games, so there is much to look foward to if that continues and I mean IF.

Great game to watch and at least we played tough hard footy. Rance is our general down back...great game. We look so much better when we take the game on so lets play that style for the rest of the year. Jackson and Conca...fantastic games!

I will leave you honourable loss people alone.

How many of you have had honourable roots?? It's either excellent or it's crap.....you don't have half a root and think, gee that wasn't too bad, I nearly did the job!

I dont believe in honorable losses either and truth is we were never gonna win today but today we saw some run and we saw some improvement so thats something to look forward too imho.

Ramps a loss is a loss and another year of no finals

I'm happy they played better but something is wrong if it takes until RD 7 to get their poo together and play good football

Why let the cats dominate the first qtr

That was as disappointing as any loss this year

No one is happy we lost but many are happy with the improved effort. Sometimes its how you lose that counts as opposed to how you win. Honourable? Yes, we could have chucked it in completely, I thought we would, but we found something to take into the next game.

I'm sure that there are a few who are relieved we didn't win today. Hope your pumped fellas.

So you'd feel 100% the same if we lost by 100 points?

I doubt it.

I'm angry we lost. But glad I finally saw some fight. Some tackling. Some running. Some direct football. Some play on.

The tackling stats in the first half were bad I think

Rance and Deledio were fantastic.
We have missed them ...their inclusion made some of our players who have looked like spuds look half serviceable .

Can't fault the endeavour of the team today ....best footy I have seen them play this year .

This result will mean jack poo if we can't beat our next opponent Melbourne.

Melbourne will be up for the match but we will win by 4 to 6 goals IMHO.

Melbourne have the tendency to drag average teams down to their poo level. If we're any sort of good or better than average team we should make a point and smash them. At least we have a week off and they play next week.
