We're there's life there's hope and regardless of the probable finish - we have a chance to make the 8.

Enjoy a win! We haven't got a lot of them recently.  :clapping

We have a good run home against bottom 8 teams.

Even though we were ordinary yesterday, hopefully teams will be ordinarier than us.

Don't think he's smoking or picking his nose, so I guess he's giving the bird :thumbsup

For God's sake we beat the Dees.
Winning games against bottom 8 teams due to our charmed draw and finishing higher on the ladder will only fool us again after our 2006 exploits. Sure its good to win but gage us as a team on how we play against the Cats Crows and Hawks between rd 18-20 and whether we get any wins at that business end of the Home and Away Season. We need to keep blooding kids and maybe going into the draft with our pick 5-8 to get what we actually need in a KPP and another quality mid.

exactly HT we have been down this road once too many times before.

9th

10th

9th

seriously winning means nothing to me, personally, however if we knock off port over there, well then i would be happy because that shows improvement winning over there.

but beating the dees after we got stoned by the crows and swans, well it puts it all in perspective doesn't it.

a win is a win i guess but we should get excited only when we start beating sides that matter starting next week in adelaide..

  * Lids had another 30 touch game. Had a big impact when was important in context of match.
  * Tuck showed he is still decent

 * Hyde is another Pettifer, Tivendale, Bowden type it seems.
 * Didn't miss King

Monk if you restrict yourself to the second quarter and the last 15 minutes of the match you'd be pleasantly surprised. The rest ummm nosogood.....

The difference is that in 2005/6 we were beating bottom 8 sides with a team full of rejects. We are now beating teams with a quite youthful side.
