Never disperse your focus unless absolutely necessary. Face one adversary at a time!

Totally thinking the same thing.

This game should also get rid of any arrogance that the premiership is ours and we are the best team in the league. We are not!

Everyone should now take a breath, sit down and realise it is only one week at a time!

Beams and Swan kept us in the game, when Hawks front runners ran riot unattended all day through the corridor.
Whoever selected McCarthy has been sharing Ben Cousins' crack-pipe.
He had the chance to handball to Beams in goal square on 3/4 time to give us a nice buffer, but the selfish turd had a shot instead. Total list-clogger this bloke. Not even close to our best 22 players.
The sooner Presti comes back, the sooner Nathan Brown goes out.
He got us slaughtered against tin-arse Franklin, who must think it's Christmas every time he plays against us.
And we'd all want to hope to Christ that Darren Jolly can play with that face injury, or it's season over.
Now, you'd want to hope that this shitful tackling efforts will cease next week, because that was our worst effort this year with far too many broken effortlessly by Hawthorn. Yet another team playing their grand-final against us, chasing a late-run home final.
Players did look sufficiently flat again after tail chasing Adelaide last week.
Even worse, the game plan is now being disected by opposition coaches, and the boundary line football is totally giving me the shits royally again.
And we can thank Melbourne's ineptitude twice this season that we have secured top spot. Now find that fu*cking lid and sit on it.

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

He may have got a swag of hitouts but seven possessions is a fail.

But generally I agree, medders, Johnno, Leroy, Dids, Presti to return and will make a helluva difference.
Billy Picken, the great No. 25 in the sky!

Don't underestimate the role that Ben Johnson plays.

There is only one concern against the dogs, and his name is Barry Hall, lets hope Presti is back and fit.

Didn't have anything to play for?? Are you serious. How about Josh's 200th? How about momentum? How about psychological victory against the hawks?

The Hawks are dangerous - hope we don't have to play them! We avoided them in 1990, let's hope we avoid them in 2010.

I'm very happy we beat Adelaide, and we're Minor Premiers! Take that Jack.

We've won our 1st trophy in 20 years.

Yes mate, as if the whole footy world gives a flying continental that we are minor premiers. In four weeks they'll be asking, "Who finished on top in the home and away again?"

I don't mind people saying we finished on top! :)

But take the word "premier" out of it. We are not even close to premier at the moment.

But you are totally right about the Hawks mate. We played them in today, and if they win next week (and the worst happens against the Dogs) there could be hell to pay down the track.
