Back to the drawing board bigtime, real line in the sand stuff now.

I just can't believe that 4 short weeks ago I was jumping out of my skin with confidence and expectation.Witts was the ruckman.Cox was an excitement beyond words,Sinclair White and Toovey were NOT in the side and NOW??? We are pathetic.No plan ,no skill,weak as piss. I'm shattered .Our season is over.It's hard to say it as I WAS a total believer in Buckley,but he is a shit coach.He has pets that don't deserve a game and he continually plays these duds and now look at us.The laughing stock of the AFL.It's going to be a LONG year with many disappointments I really can't see us winning a game.

I think the Buckley 'experiment' will have the same effect on us as the Carlton salary cap scandal had on Carlton.It'll set us back ten years,just like it did them.

It also cost us at least one premiership (possibly two).

That wasn't too bad. I predicted a 12 goal loss and it was only 6. If they hadn't kicked accurately, we might have been competitive.

Looking at it statistically, our forward line is tragically poor (Cloke excepted). We almost had the same number of inside 50s as them but the forward line offers nothing. Howe has played 8 quarters without troubling the scorers.

Cloke kicked his career average 2, Sidebottom another 2 and, after that, they may as well not have bothered.

We eventually had a dip today. Pity the Dee's had 8 on the board by then.

Sick of watching the 'bomb it into our forward line' approach to scoring, then allowing three or four opposition players raffle it and run it out of our attack. Shits me to tears.

We should have played big yankee Cox, he was right for this one, and we do miss swannie and elliott badly, too. Varcoe and sidey will be better for the run, and id bring frost back asap.

Beatifully said.
We did have a dip and lets bomb it long and lets not gut run and lets keep picking players who are cooked.
we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest.

Hard to watch, I'd say goodbye to White. Blair and Crisp play VFL and only get selected if form warrants.

Greenwood goes hard but doesn't do enough.

Problem is who replaces them?

We can persist with Aish and DeGoey and probably blood the youngsters that are capable of debuting without being scarred.

Having Sinclair injured didn't help but it wasn't the difference

Elliott, Scharenberg, Witts, Williams, Broomhead and Ramsay may help but we will never know. Goldsack and MaCaffer seem past it.

Swanny would have helped but unfortunately he is gone.

It's gonna be a long year.
In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away

Beat you by 2 minutes. 2nd week in a row. Never done that before in my life.
