damn classic we’re getting done

Just think we’re flat after a physical game against port in the wet.

Ironic the thread during the week about the game day thread.
Simple fact is that we don’t blow teams apart and relying on coming from behind is not a great place to be In

Did Geelong or the Richmond dynasty do that? Nope…

Look if we do lose it, yeah not the end of the world. We have been belted out of the middle for several weeks in a row, its a bit of a concern. I feel like the influence of Nick Diacos has been blunted a few weeks in a row now too.

Cox off Hoskin-Elliott on.

Win this quarter or go home. Lose this quarter and there'll be no final quarter heroics, we'll be too far behind.

If that trend continues we are no chance.
How often do you actually turn that around? Not that much of a dominance.
Still a ways to go and if any team can do it it’s us.
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

Problem is some of our fans think we're already a dynasty. Looking at the talent coming through in other sides though, we must win the flag this year. There will be no more dynasties or repeats for a very long time. Our window is now or bust.

Well we couldn’t play any worse than we did in the first half,so the only way is up.I just wonder if the boys are up to it itonight?Can they keep winning from behind all the time?How many times can you go to the well before you run dry?

What a poor first half from the Pies. The only positive I can take from that is that we are only trailing by 17 points. It feels like a bigger margin than the scoreboard would suggest.

Exactly and we're only a month out from finals where we have to be at our sharpest. Have we already peaked?

Quaynor 3 disposals, Crisp 4.

That's a lot of rebound missing.

Carlton hasn’t lost in 6-7 weeks. Despite the soft wins, it looks like it has no doubt instilled a belief.

Regardless, this is our usual pathetic Hollywood bullsh!t where we hope inaccuracy and running over the top wins out.

They sucked me in. I thought we’d win comfortably. Shame on me for ever being glass-half-full with this club.
