I know it didn't seem like it but Cotch was playing.. West Coast missing more than Kelly. Add Shuey , McGovern, Sheppard as pretty handy players. And yes I don't think we're as good as we were in 2019 so top 4 is a must. The worry is we've played all of top 7 and won just 1. We have to play Cats and Brisbane again. I like your enthusiasm. I'm more of a realist. Hope enthusiasm wins.

GAME DAY Tiges V Eagles

It's not the coaches. What we did to Essendon in the last is what we're capable of. But we didn't do it today.
Tired, jet-lagged, fatigued who knows why, but what we saw today is so far below what we're capable of. That's why it hurts so much.

Look it’ll sting. Everyone at the club will of course be gutted.
And those saying football has gone past us in 2021 are wrong.
I’ll say it again - Dimma and co. are simply trying to nurse us through the season. Get enough wins to challenge.
September will be a choking, stifling phone box like it always is. All those teams getting away with pretty lace-out footy won’t get it when the pressure ramps up.
We are still kings of finals footy intensity and this will be precisely the element certain other teams won’t be ready for.
Be philosophical if you can. 5-6 on the ladder at the end of it all won’t be an impossible position, not by a long shot.

Cotchin played
Yep another absolute dumb play when we didn’t need to panic. My god that one hurts.
Yeah I think your wrong - I haven’t given up by a long way - but we are a long way from playing anywhere near our best.
That is nanks bread and butter. Getting back to help in defence and taking those big contested marks.
I certainly hope we don’t have to play an EF in Perth. That was our best chance to beat them in Perth and we blew it. Happy to play them anywhere but Perth. *smile* I’m spewing!
Sh!ts me no end. Where was this from the show ponies against the Bummers?? Do they need a f*ck up the back side from our sexy team to get their spirits up?
Happy to play them again, with their full strength squad, when we have Prestia, Lynch, Nank and Dave back.
Geez it was hard to watch us play possession footy. The new rules have really buggered us up
We’ve got Saints, Suns, Pies.
We need to do what Geethrow do all the time: win those easier games, take the heat off when things aren’t going perfectly, get under cover, re-set, and go again.
Geethrow have done this for 15 plus years. When everyone thinks they’re gone, they sneak back into contention.
We need to do the same.

Or its the wake up call we needed to win this year's Premiership
