Wield that axe!

Or would you prefer to finish 4th and come up against Geelong?

I would. Give me the double chance any time.

The pure fact that we are now concerned with just landing a finals spot as opposed to top 2, shows how quickly and sudden we have fallen.

From our forwardline We were missing Johno, Aker, Murphy and Higgins was injured yesterday.

If it was the Saints, it would be Kosi, Milne and Schneider who were missing.

If it was Geelong it would be Chapman, Hawkins and Johnson.

When we get these personnel back after the break we will be firing on all 4 cyclinders.

Finishing outside top 4 is just about making up the numbers I'm afraid...I mean, it's mathematically possible to win the premiership and there's a fairly even spread of teams around the middle this year, but you can't be expecting or deserving of a flag from 5th and below really.

We've had a horror run with injuries- a fit Hargrave, Johnson, Murphy and Ward (Aker too, but he'd be out this week even if he wasn't injured) would have helped a lot, since their replacements in Stack, Addison etc. were quite woeful. Higgins is clearly carrying an injury too. The sooner we get them fit and back on the field, the better. Until then, it's harder to judge us.

Exactly right People let emotions get in the way of logic.

You do realise that history and stats are against you?

Didn't the swans do it when they were labeled the "ugly ducklings". I reckon were in the exact same situation.

Disagree. After half a season, we look more like a 5-10th spot side, not a top 4 side threatening to win a GF.

I'd much rather we recognise this, and get game time now into players who could significantly contribute to a serious threat in 2011 and 2012.

This gave me the biggest laugh of the day , Considering Eade said anything other than a Flag would be a failure that makes it clear that he wants the 010 flag.
