Negatives, we have to play Sydney in Sydney yet!!!!!
Positives, we don't play Geelong, Port or Hawthorn until next year so we have a reprieve.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

I don't mind being positive but trying to give credit to a team so low and embarrasing that 100+ point losses are becoming normal I'm sorry talking about positives frustrates me more than watching us play.

The only positive I can see out of this is cementing our position for the best draft picks but knowing us we will probably give those up to some club like Collingwood for a few of their second rate rejects anyway.

I feel like were back in the #*@k#n early 80s again.

I fully understand the problem with inexperienced young players, but it is vital to make a good contest both in an individual sense and as a team, even in a loss to a top team,,but again the team and too many individuals folded today.

Some more reasoning

Used pick 12 (recieved 24) to secure Hickey.... Hope he'd be good (unproven)
Lee as above... Not sure he is up to it
Ross pick 25. ..... 3 years in... 10 games, until Sat roundly critisised
Billings... Looks talented... Wanna be good as pure mid Aish looks a polished mid
Dunstan.... Blue Chip pick 18
Acres ..... Pick 19.... You'd hope for a player ... He looks likely

All those players still have plenty of questions to answer IMO

I think since Pelchin arrived ..... We have transitioned from a competitive outfit with league respect to a joke
Lyon, Goddard, Dal, Dawson, McEvoy.... Have gone. Because they weren't kept.

no positives except being 1 week closer to the top picks. We are in for the long haul....take up knitting or croquet because the next 2 seasons will be unbearable.
