After watching tonights game between Port and St.Kilda, it just makes you realise how far behind them we really are. The saints on-ballers would slaugher our current on-ballers. and the hardness of Port would make guys like Tivendale , Fiora and co fill there pants !

froars:
It's frightening actually how far off the mark we are.  How long since we seen our club play that kinda footy - long time.

mightytiges:
1980 would be the last time we played that sort of footy. We were one scarily good footy side then. On the other hand making PFs in 1995 and 2001 flattered us.

Just goes to show you need your skilled played to be tough and your tough players to be skilled. We simply cannot experience let alone play that type of hard, tough and pressurized 4 quarters of footy. Our pitiful skills wouldn't last under that intensity for 10 minutes let alone a whole game.

Yep we've sadly got a few more years of pain (and high draft picks) to go  :P.

Your absolutely right Froars we are light years out of the frame and MT is probably right too it's probably been more than 20 years since we even come close to that sort of level :help

Struggletown:
Thats exactly what I said to myself when the match finished...we are absolutely light years away from being that hard tough and committed.
The recriutment of players during Becks tenure has been one of the catalysts of the massive problem we have.Throw in appaulling trades for chumps,Drug money 5 year deals,and exhorbitant wages to average players and 16th spot is about where we belong. :'(
Frawley and Beck...will either of them ever get a job at this level again??

What an embarrasing joke
