Even if they are out and with the other injuries you still have a better team than the ones we have lost to this season so no we aren't really huge chances. We do play Etihad far better than the MCG though so that will help keep the margin down.

2 games in... he didn't have the greatest day out on the weekend but I hardly think it's the end of the world for him

It's when he does get it he generally wastes it a lot of the time with a clanger as he can't hit a target when he's moving at pace.

Yar, sounds like he had the flu, I think all Primus was saying there was that it meant he was then unable to train/play to his full potential because he'd be getting tired earlier for the month or so he had the virus. That on top of missing most of pre-season really was like a cluster**** for him.

I wonder why we bother sometimes.

It's a ****ing disgrace this normal football tackle is even being talked about as wrong. Game is ****ed.

geezuz this is tense

Hawthorn may be taking this decision out of our hands right now. :mad:

His new nickname has to be The Butcher Express. My mate got me a Port guernsey and had him sign it #32 the express for my birthday this week so it's official I have annointed him this. :D

Any club with their shit together would have had preliminary deals on the table months ago with players that were clearly going to be required next year and Butcher being one of them, in fact we'd probably have locked him in by now and much cheaper than he's going to be. Also any club with...

I'm not sure what he expects the supporters to do, we've never had a voice because since we've been in it's a 50/50 power split so anything that Port only wanted to do gets vetoed, it's a mute point and he'd be better off pointing out this is why we feel helpless because we have no control until...

True but at least he won't deviate off it. I've been no fan I think he's been passable since coming back into the team, he needs to now hopefully put his good quarter each game into 2 or 3 in these final five games. I'm not willing to drop anyone who is clearly trying at the moment and going...

You may all hate Pettigrew, but at least he is hitting the contest each week and then at least trying to get the ball moving forward. He'd look a lot better if on one of his runs he got to the forward 50 and he actually had someone to kick to. I dare say like him or not he keeps getting...

Not tanking but we are going to play youth regardless of form.. :rolleyes: We are bottom, it's not going to hurt to admit you've gone for gaining experience over results and used games as training. If we lose by 10 goals week after week but no changes are made it is always going to upset...

The Butch was sensational yesterday, worked right into the contest in the second half and workrate was high. If they actually kicked the ball anywhere near his chest he'd have taken a lot more marked but continually over his head, at his ankles, 5m infront of him etc makes it pretty tough also...

Did our crowds rise during 2007 though? I know we started off the year with everyone tipping us to go shit and instead we got better and better.

Also could you imagine fantasy like this being published in one of the Melbourne papers about one of their clubs when they are going shit? No, they've got a bit of perspective there having so many teams, something we've lost here in SA clearly. We are shit but article after article like...

Seriously when west coast etc were shit last year did they go through this crap we have? No, the constant negative press we get no matter what we do is at a completely ridiculous level. The guys across town have much the same problems yet none of these articles wtf. If we had control of...

I agree with most of that Powerstuff just it seemed evident to me only when Trengove had a free or mark he seemed to stand there for about 3 seconds before moving back slowly then going. We get killed by our players doing this as it allows the other teams to zone up on us. What I'd like to...

...for the both of them and well at least one failed. Sal was OK but still frustrating. What I noticed again though is that our players are so ****ing slow when we get a free, they walk back to look up to kick there is no urgency Trengove in particular he gets a free or a mark it's like he...

Re: Wooden spoon not a motivating factor Like it or not this year we are playing a young list under the worst conditions we've ever had it's no surprise where we are, we aren't on a level playing field with anyone else. Part time Dr Part time Physio (players lining up ffs in a professional...

Re: Primus - is the gloss wearing off already I am too baffled by the reporters when they throw in 'struggling for memberships', 'struggling to attract members', 'poor membership numbers'. What the **** we have members they just don't come to the games.

Re: Primus - is the gloss wearing off already What I get is that clubs go to the bottom but I don't usually see the hate that we've gotten for having a shit year. The vic media with familiarity with their clubs simply write them off at the bottom as meh rebuilding, meh don't worry they'll be...

I think we can sum up Kornes by todays game. St Kilda players leave him open to get the first kick out from a point, they ****ing leave him open because they know they can get a turnover/force a boundary throw in because he either has a poor disposal or makes a negative decision and goes...

...hardball against Whicker for both teams ie push a good deal for us then they want the same kind of thing. What we really want is both teams competing for better deals with the SMA to drive great deals for both our clubs but it won't happen if both have CEO's that are in Whickers pocket. ****.

He is going.

I think this week as it's a good chance for a win we go with experience and strength and go for the win. Out: Pittard (inj), Bob (inj), O'Shea (omit), Kornes/Phillips In: Salter, Ebert, Surjan, Banner Pittard is injured so is Bob so we replace Bob with Salter and Pittard with Surjan...

Thomas played great today, everyone has handball clangers these days in the day of the zone/press but he was a very good player for us today. I can see Banner coming in for Jacobs next week, D-Rod not sure who for maybe O'Shea but he wasn't too bad.

dare I say it, we've turned a corner, Richmond then against Carlton and now a good performance bar the start against West Coast, we are definitely improving and should give the bottom 8 teams a good shake and beat a few. I think we are a very good chance against North next week if we bring the...

No point putting him up forward if the ball isn't going there.
