Please people !
Just relax.

Why do we always have to eat our own ?

Threatening fellow supporters ?

No wonder we struggle.

I'm frustrated too. Have been for 34 years but I just find a chill out zone.
Life goes on. :roll:

I rarely turn the radio off either but did before the final siren. Schwarz has always p'd me off big time. He is a neanderthal of the highest order. Never offers anything informing that hasn't been said by someone else beforehand. Hates StKilda with a passion (that's o.k as I don't think much of him...

This hurts big time but in today's footy less than 100% will end up in a loss every time. Freo should have beaten Geelong earlier in the season. Essendon have beaten Collingwood easily today. Collingwood beat Geelong by 87 points !!!! Like to see them do that again. They call them upsets but in real...

Good work Armoooo ! I like option 12, followed by 13. Don't really like many of the others. After looking at many horrible clash jumpers from other clubs I'm convinced predominately white is bad. Option 12 retains some semblance of our traditional jumper. Ideally a clash jumper does this and solves ...

Barry, while I'd love to see us finish 4th it may be better finishing 5th. To meet the Cats in the first final wouldn't be any advantage over finishing 5th and playing 8th. I'd have to be realistic and say a win over the Cats in week one would be unlikely. Then we've lost our top 4 advantage and a d...

Improvements if we are to be a threat

We really looked dangerous in the second half against the Hawks. Where do you all see we can lift further ? I think Kosi has a plenty of improvement left on his current form. He's playing around 30% of his 2004 form I think. Gilbert hasn't got back to anywhere near his best. There's lots to be gaine...

Blighty being Blighty

I've just watched the replay today as we went to the game. I think Blighty's outburst was inappropriate in that forum. If he feels aggrieved he should have vented at Butterss directly. That rant doesn't do the Club any favours and none there now have any link to what happened then. It is unfair of h...

I'm prepared to be howled down but just for this game C. Gardiner could be the choice. Reasons being.. The vast expanse of Subi requires us to have fast players with a decent engine. Not slower players such as MG. Glass is out which means their height in defense is comprimised and we can get away wi...

It could have been Gilbo spoiling and not Max. :oops: It was as a very soft (read incorrect) decision either way.

It really P'd me off. Especially when we were under the pump. It equated to hundreds of metres by game end. It's obviously one of the tactics they focus on to gain advantage before the umpires wake up one week and they are pinged. I reckon the Hawks concentrate on "semi-legal " tactics for...

Umpiring definitions from Saturday

A few things had me confused about the umpiring on Saturday night. Did anyone else notice how the Hawks CONTINUALLY crept 3 metres on the mark after each mark ? I reckon this happened 90% of the time and the umpires were oblivious to it. Possibly the most frustrating decisions to accept was the lame...

He didn't commit to either playing on or retiring. He said as much. Also that he is enjoying his football. So are we !! He should go on. We don't have a ready made replacement for Max. It was a great atmosphere in the victory room last night. The players all spoke well. I can't say I've met a StKild...

I think our supporters were fantastic tonight. Can't say the same for the Hawks fans though. We were still cheering them on when we were down in the first half. They went deathly quiet in the second half. It was the best game I've been to since the game at Kardinia Park where Hocking ironed out Harv...

I thought Archie was very diplomatic in his summary. Bordering on a little too diplomatic. But that's obviously to diffuse the current media attention on the issue.

Luke was easily the most intelligent on the Footy Show. Including Newman. Wasn't he, or isn't he doing a Law degree ? Great cricketer as well. Always well spoken and a credit to our club. I think Sam really wants us to knock off Hawthorn. He seemed to be really goading Luke by repeatedly saying &quo...

Plugger66 I can understand your question. It had me really thinking. You never asked to put Harvs ahead of a Cup.
