I agree but where does this expectation come from ? We haven't reallyPlayed that well in any of our wins for 4 quarters, we haven't been all that convincing. That could be viewed as an upside because when we do play 4 quarters we can match it with the best but we played 1 tonight ( and beat them ! ) Rioli, butler, castagna ?, markov, Prestia and Caddy still to find their best. There is a lot of upside but my only qualm is that rance jack and cotch aren't 3-4 years younger I would have thought the expectation of any team who are 5 and 0 with a full list of players to choose from, DO NOT lose by over 10 goals and have the game over at 3 qtr time.But look at those games we won mate, none were 4qtr efforts and you gotta put in 4qtrs against good teams. Adelaides the benchmark atm. Let's see how we go against gws, port, doggies, geelong ( who lost to Collingwood today )

All points spot on. 5 and 0 doesn't mean you are exempt from criticism when you get embarrassed by 10 goals.
I'm wondering if its actually Adelaide yards ahead of GWS and the Dogs and then the peloton behind with Geelong and Richmond setting the pace.
If Morris plays again Im giving it away. Might be a good Clubman but can't play at this level again
I agree..but after seven and a bit seasons - shouldn't we be that good?
Should have at least gone one on one for a while after the second quarter - would've still lost but once Adelaide get on a roll over there you can't just continue to give them space and allow them uncontested possessions....
Don't tell me 1 loss and we're gonna get a bunch of these threads
