What a waste of 2 hrs 40 mins of my life. This group of players doesn't look like they're going anywhere in a hurry.

Yep.

Falling over the line against horrible teams is papering over the cracks.

Complete and utter dogshit.
Waste of 2 hours as per another poster said.

How we have won 9 games is the 10th wonder of the world.

Totally reactive in the first half. Midfield performance apart from Crouch was abysmal. Lifted after half time and could have won by more with better forward entries. Dougal Howard need to get rid of those stupid brain fades out of his game. We were dominating in the third before his brain fade and then they kicked three in a row.

Byrnes & Phillipou need to be dropped

Dees next week with Gawn & Grundy ..... Marshall needs help in the ruck .... not Michito & Caminiti who should both play permanently forward with Marshall forward a bit as well

Happy to see Campbell come in

Who can we bring in?

Coffield
Membrey
Clark
Hayes
McKenzie
Jones
Billings

All would be at least in the mix if fit.

in rnd 17 1979 fitzroy defeated melbourne by a record margin of 190 points.
the next week against fifth placed essendon the embarrased demons came out as determined as west coast did today.
unfortunately for west coast they met a team of sterner stuff than the bombers, who had a 135 kicked on them to go down by 29 points.

this saints win wasn't against the same team that got hammered last week, this was a game against a team desperate to regain some pride. like the dees back then they'll likely fall away again, but this week we saw the best effort they given all season. i'll bank that win and move on.

Go to your room.
If you think Marshall is going to beat Gawn & Grundy using Hammer and Owens as a back up in turn weakening the strength of our tall forward set up against May & Lever then the d**khead crown is all yours :twisted:
