What happened? Shocking last term, we should have put the Dees to the sword and won by over 50. We need to start running games out, we haven't won a final term this year apparantly.
Awful last term

Piss poor. A game we had the chance to run on with and score a big win we look like we have just stopped. Undone a lot of the good early work.
How good is Fev. 
Love him - 22 goals in three weeks, a personal best.

It looked like we were content with what we'd done. Very defensive and pretty poor in the last quarter.
Third quarter wasn't much better.
Crap thread...please delete...Outscored by two goals...
Great game by the blues...overall improvement across the board, did you expect more???
Solid win

Yes it was rubbish...We still have a ways to go..I was disappointed with how Simmo, Carrazzo, Bentick and Setanta played in the last. I mean they still represent the things that are wrong with the team, and those guys should be going the distance to build depth..
Also Scotland looked ordinary despite getting lots of the ball, he just never thinks and just kicks it like a lunatic.

Like is said before, crap thread...
You still need to win these games and i thought we did it well...Stop all the negativety or go support someone else..
Game was won at 3qtr time...outscored by two goals in the last...big deal.
We still won by 5 and a 1/2 goals FFS...
Would you rather we get flogged like the past five years...Enjoy it

should fire us up 4 next week
Simmo and Carrazzo are also the players that gives up first when they knew we are not gonna win at a losing game.

It was pretty crappy but Fev's late pair cheered things up.
Really though, one of our rare wins of recent times and people are focussing on the junk time part of the match? Who gives a toss? We won the game when it mattered. What was the end 4 qtr margin anyway - 2 goals?
Schmeh.

Sure we won, but this isn't a stupid thread!
We should have won by 10 goals and made a statement to other teams!

Yet Carrazzo won the B&F in a team which was beaten ad nausem and Simpson showed more heart than just about anyone during the beltings in our last 4 or 5 Pagan-coached games.

Jesus guys, considering where we have cme from, any win is a good win for our footy club. Sure, it would have been nice to run away with the game in the final quarter, however, like I said, any win is a good one.

Could not agree more HBF. Whilst we would all love to win by 10 goals the reality check is we have been poor for 4 years plus and any step in the right direction should be applauded not criticised. We have just won our second game in a row by a comfortable margin and I for one think this is a terrific achievement.

Picky, picky, picky. We should just be happy that we got ourselves the win boys and girls, the circumstances really don't matter at this point! I don't care how we do it, let's just win. I hated this 'short chipping sideways and backwards' strategy, btu it worked wonders, and we won!
When was the last time we kept a team to 68 points, and goalless in one quarter?

Controlled the game, kicked goals when we wanted to, but didn't always want to. Would be a shame to miss out on finals by percentage.
Good win young Blues, now for the Crows.

But most supporters would be interested in more than just the result. We beat a rabble today; played well for 3 quarters, and Judd, Fev and others played very well overall. But one of our biggest weaknesses over the last 4 years has been an inability to run out games, and that was again apparent. Plus, it was a wasted opportunity to build some percentage. If we're in that middle part of the ladder (and I think we should be), percentage could be very important later in the year.
Overall, pleasing to get a win, but the victory against a poor opponent shouldn't blind us to the few concerning issues that came out of the game.

It's great to get the win, but the last term was a bit disappointing. We really took the foot off the gas and instead of burying them we let it go a little. Ratts will let them know that we need to keep it going for the 4 quarters next time.

And Whitnall won it the year before and where is he now???
Carrazzoo won it in one of the worst sides of recent times, as opposed to say winning the B&F for Gellong, for instance.
Sure he won it, but he's been totally lazy this year and hasn't really impacted games the way he should. He needs a rocket up his bum.

This is my point, we are not a superstar team yet and therefore we should be happy to have won but at the same time cognisant of our areas for improvement. Also interested to see you say most supporters would be interested in more than just the result. Judging by some of the rubbish we see on this board the result is the only thing most supporters are interested in!
