You can't hope to win games like the Dees one with disgraceful first quarters. It was laughable how bad we were. Freo like.

Just curious to know if the club staff would inform the players say if Freo were beating Bummers - that game is before ours. If an upset was looming to boost our faint hopes, would Richo mention it during our game?

Freo game finishes at approx 3.45pm

Players will leave rooms at 3.10 so 3/4 time.

Game will be over by then so it's a non issue.

No, he'd be better off having them focused on the job at hand.

Imagine if they knew that result, say Free lost:

"Okay boys, we're not playing finals, but let's put in a pleasing effort all the same"

"Ugh, screw that! We're going fishing in September, so what's the point?"

Pride! To know you have beaten a top 8 side twice in a season. To go out on a high. That sort of thing.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Melbourne and Dogs certainly don't want to play finals.

Melbourne.... drinking their own bath water again. They are disappointing (not to me but in a footy sense). They are ahead of us in development, but also had help with father / son and the AFL helping get Roos there and an easier draw to us this season.

They are really not that good and the footy world should be talking about them
