tonite highlighted how bad we are.
Players abusing each in the 3rd quarter when the bombers got a run on.
and rolled over and died in the last quarter
Bombers are a good team with plenty of players to come back in

Whole club is a shambles from the board down, from the inside and out. Anybody with any substance would have at least done something after the weeks events.
Too weak.
We are reactive in a negative way and not positive.
I don't think we have reached the bottom of the barrel yet. Terry is still coach and I just sit and wonder how that will transpire and what recent events will lead to it.

Freo round 10 loss
Dogs round 11 loss
Eagles at the Dome if that is a bad loss could be a repeat of the Adel game in 04.
If we win he may still be the only coach to get sacked after a win.

Either way club is a shambles and club is the worst of any of the 16 in the AFL.
It hurts but we have to wear it unfortunantely.
I just hope that a good person who has the resources power and clout who wants good and success of the club will arrive soon otherwise we will be the new St Kilda and our only flag this century will arrive 75 years after our last one. Then again we already may be the new St Kilda.

i know it was tongue and cheek but you have no idea how dissapointing this is to see.

I said it on another thread a few days ago this is the worst period our club has gone through  since the Save our Skins days.

It does not get any lower than this IMO

For me the dissapointment has passed after the realisation early on that we werent up to scratch to play comptetitive footy consistently.

From the last few weeks on it has been just confirmation of where we are at and the false dawn of 2009.

That said it may as well go on as it is the way to get a top draft pick for next year and hopefully 3 in the first 20.

its gonna get worse, we will be forced to merge with western sydney, we are poo but have a big supporter base so the afl will do their stats and if 50% or even 40% will still support the west tigers from melbourne.

the writing is on the wall, cos as a club here in melb we r stuffed

I know we were 1-7 going into this game and there is a split between players and coach BUT....

I still don't know how the Bumbers could man handle us like that.

They have Dyson, Lovett-Murray, Winderlich, McPhee, Lonergan, Jetta, Neagle and Slattery in their team FFS!!!  :banghead

I wrote this weeks ago in here, Im just waiting for the first story to emerge, of a union between us and the Wests Tigers NRL club in Sydney. To create a Western Sydney superclub. A journo will probably run with this story soon. And TT is right, we are stuffed, the club better start to do something soon, in terms of creating more positive perceptions.

that happens and i never will go to another game again and i will be the second person to dump manure, this time at AFL House.

more positiver perceptions Ramps would be dump Newman, Raines, Petticoat NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW

They are worth a pick each on the top 30 on the open market. This is GOLD for us moving forward.

We have to do a Hawthorn and top up our draft picks by making some hard decisions. As a club this is something we have never done before.

Might have to consider if Tambling and Foley will win us a flag also. If NOT goodbye

Yes very disapointing but can anyone remember a club called St Kilda many years ago, they were pathetic, I mean worse than us now 10 times over. ..................... how quickly things turn around!!!! In 5 years we won't be speaking about the loss last night, we will be talking about whether we will be top of the ladder or second at the end of the season.... :thumbsup

Your right about StKilda, but they were able to get so many early draft picks it wasn't funny. We wont have that opportunity as not only do we have to compete with Melbourne who dont want to win more than 4 we will have to compete with the new clubs.

While we remain so successful off the field with attendances, memberships, ratings etc we will never move from Melbourne.
