McCarthy should de-list himself and save us all the pain of more years of frustration.
I still find it staggering that Medhurst didn't play today.

Staggering.

Remember today we played a bogey team for us without Didak, Johnson, Brown.

He's now in my Guy Richards hall of shame after that effort today...

I dont know, there are some positives

We know Leon is probably finished so no need to worry about him
Medhurst sensational in the VFL again so he is there should Didak be unavailable
Still got Presti to come back for Brown
Josh played well as a ruckman and shows we have an option should Jolly or L.Brown miss for any reason during the finals, depth in the ruck we have never had before
Only St Kilda have the ability to have 1 player tear us apart up forward like that and we will hopefully have Presti back by then anyway should they make the prelim

Beams miss the biggest negative, makes you worry about our youngsters in high pressure finals but still some experience available

Does anyone remember 2002 and our round 22.....flogged by the Doggies who didn't finish in the 8. It's all about next week.
As for today, I've never been more uninterested in a Collingwood game.

yet they still beat us.

not worried by a loss, more the complete loss of run in recent weeks. we have reverted to the chip to the boundary, stop, chip, stop, chip, turnover etc crap again.
Yeah but bear in mind the training program and safety on top of the ladder is probably dictating our energy levels, and we would be clearly preparing for next week, not dead rubbers against Adelaide and Hawthorn.

So lets collectively calm the %$^ down!

That's it mate.

We will be full of run next week and the slight disappointment of letting this one slip will fuel our fire.

Lookout bitches, the Pies are gunna take you dogs to the pound!

When we get our run back in September, they won't get near us.

BT reckons they are only allowed to have 15 kicks per week in terms of set shots at goal at training, at many clubs.

Pies 47 entries into the F50, 31 from the boundary.
