why, what was said ? I can't get the PConf...
Every press conference now u have to watch that knob Stevens ask questions while no one else gets shown and speak over other reporters and generally be a pain in the ass.
Well, they did let someone else ask a question. It didn't go well.
"Gunston spent a lot of time in the midfield today. Does that mean he's going to Sydney like Buddy?"

Hawthorn are a damn good team with class everywhere, look like the premiers, they just have incredible scoring ability.
I reckon we're a good 2 to 3 years off being a good team again and I hope Bucks gets the opportunity to see it through, it is really disappointing to see what people say about him on this forum. Its one thing to feel hes not a good coach but to call him a spud, parrot etc. is just a disgrace when your talking about a man that has bled black and white 24/7 for half his life or more.
Just dont believe all those who say we are bottom 4. how can you explain the first half of the season? How can you suddenly lose all that ability? We need to remain rational and assess the ENTIRE season. I think the flawed training regime exhausted our players and created the conditions for massive injuries.

How embarrassing. How do these guys get into presses? Do they have a clue?
Once the vfl team has given there finals a shake it will be time for me to worry about the Spring racing carnival.
With all the smarts we have at the clubs disposal I hope they can work out why we have had 3 years riddled by injuries, and invest in buying Christmas gifts for the maggots who have crucified us each week.
The experience our kids like Langdon, Frost, gault, Witts, Kennedy, broomhead, Grundy and co got this season will be paramount in years to come

Crap game plan. What our players do with the ball is only beaten by what we do when we we don't have it. It's horrible.
There is not one aspect of our game that is good.
We are so far back in the pack now.
Don't let injuries or young players in the team deceive our current position.
We are bottom 4. Not 11th or 12 or 8th. We are way worse than that.
Our poor footy started before the injuries. We won't make the 8 next year either. It will be more of the same and battling it out with the dogs and blues. Uninspiring play. I'm sorry I'm so down on my team, my club. But we can't get basic setups right, like kick outs. We can't win contested ball. We can't use skills well. In fact skills are poor. Nothing is good in our play.
Really hard to get excited about 2015.
IMO the team needs to show some aspects of being good at something next year. Something! Then build off that.
The dogs are known as contested ball team. We have nothing. No brand. Our team's brand doesn't exist. It's irrelevant now.
Exactly how I feel.
We were the youngest premiership side in 32 years ffs and have now been reduced to a rabble playing bottom 4 style football within 3 years while Hawthorn and Geelong continue to remain top 4 powers.
If people seriously think Ed and Pert thought we'd be in the situation we now find ourselves in 2014 they are deluded.
The succession plan was meant to deliver continued success of strong final appearances not slumping to a likely 11th place with a coach in his third season.
We should be improving under Buckley by now and not heading in the other direction.
Tired of the excuses and Buckley has one more season to right the ship or he should be sacked.
Went to the game. Left at 3/4 time. The Hawks weren't even putting the foot on the pedal. We will be bottom 4 next year. For a second season in a row Richmond has ended above us. They're the barometer of crap. Well, we are worse. Buckley has NO IDEA!
