Lucky it's just early in the season

[BigMart]

Because we just got done by last years wooden spooners......

I'm jumping on the excuse bandwagon.....

On the pre season and today........ Long season ahead...a tired old team, with plenty of fight but not much left..... We are like a boxer who has had his shot and is pased it

[maverick]

we must have lost then

[plugger66]

I will agre with you for once because I have no choice. I said earlier in the week if we lost our time has come and it has come quickly as it does for most sides.

We play Gold Coast next weekend...

[SainterK]

Tired old team?

How so?

At least be specific, because Dal, Fisher, Goddard, Milne looked like they went ok....and it's unfair to bag all the senior guys because of 1 or 2 out of form.

Heaps of youthful enthusiasm.

I quite enjoyed that aspect of it.

[Middo]

Jones , Blake , Polo and Armo FFS these guys are going to kill us with turnovers or plain stupid decisions !!! Just not up to standard ...

SainterK, you really need to understand and get your head around to the fact we are done. Last Year and so far this year shows we are a tired old team and only getting worst.

We just lost to a terrible side and both sides did play terrible.

Look out if we lose that one

Gotta agree with BigMart though. We were done after the 2010 drawn GF.

We are making up the numbers and we need to offload some of the old stagers though a trade with GWS for Goddard and free agency (yes Jake Naill was right).

Apparently we have some young ones coming through and Cockie, I am told could be a gun which we need to snap up. We need to trade for another ruckman and a genuine fullback, but lets face it, the dream is gone for another few years.

I don't need to get my head around anything.

I take it one week at a time as a supporter, you do whatever you do.

Don't tell me how to support

[BigMart]

Are they our only players over 28

What about
Riewoldt, koschitzke, montagna, Hayes, peake, jones, polo, Blake.....forgot about them???

And sorry, equal wooden spooners......they won three games.....but really don't count GC in 2011, they were always gonna finish last

Basically yes.

McEvoy was murdered by a first-gamer today...is anyone surprised?

Equal wooden spooners now, is there equal premiers as well, maybe we did snag a second premiership after all.

[saints66]

A team like ours needs a good long warm up and unfortunately we lost that practice game against Essendon. Even thought it was one game it was an important game and we will take a couple of weeks to get our touch back. We will win games this year and will play better than today.

[8856brother]

We are in trouble. Too many passengers. Too many guys who can't excecute basic skills. I feel quite sad actually. Was hoping we might be ok. The first 5 minutes where Geary gave away 2 goals finally slapped me in the face.

I bet we hear from posters that Geary was a positive. He is an honest battler at best with less than average skills.

At least Millera showed something. Going to be a long year.

I felt the same after the first few goals. Whilst I did not believe we could win the flag this year I thought we could make it to the 3rd week of the finals however geez we have some garbage playing for us at the moment.

Good luck finding a "genuine" full back. Zac was an integral part of the best defence in history and we chose to delist him at the age of 25.
Went on to save the game for Freo against the reigning premiers with his aggressive attack on the footy that collected Stokes.

I may be wrong but didn't Dawson refuse to re-sign with us instead taking up an offer from Freo?
I'm positive I saw reports that he was a 'required player' by us.

[Gwilt Edged]

Dawson walked because we "ran out of money"

Amazing what short memories some supporters have

I like what I've seen of Ferg. Hoping he can step up

Yes and no..Pelchen didn't want him bad enough..Could have off loaded one or two others...

[saintspremiers]

SainterK - just let go of your delusions/dreams/fantasies.

It will make this year more tolerable, and help you through the shellackings the top sides will give us.

they were not terrible. How so? They played good contested footy got first hands on the ball their tall forwards marked and converted, backline tightened up. West Coast were bottom of the ladder 2 seasons ago now they look top.

We were beaten by the team that played better contested footy and helped by poor umpiring.

What Pelchen said was: "We've kept everyone we wanted to keep".

I saw 7 games on the weekend. Our game was close but was only in front of the Melbourne Brisbane game in skills. It was a terrible game IMO. So much slower and less skilled than about 6 games on the weekend.
