Funny that.

We were terribly wasteful early but had found some mojo by half time. Our defence held up under extreme pressure in the third and our class shone through in the last.

Plusses: Higgins' work rate, Butler's 5 goals, Windhager's breakout game, Sharman smarts in defence, we beat the Eagles on their turf.

And you were out bagging the club mercilessly last week - biggest hypocrisy getting round this site….or maybe you forgot again…mind plays tricks again hey?

Oh and most supporters who KNOW where the club sits knows we are sliding and beating a lowly Eagles who have 2 wins for the year is hardly something to going shooting your bolt over …

But whatever floats your boati guess

Yes we won, unconvincing and if we play like that next week Hawthorn will beat us.
It's just reality, but I'm happy for them to prove me wrong.
But after watching 51 years of failure, you lose a lot of faith.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

and here's me thinking I was one of the only ones not putting s*** on the club, like you were doing.

The number of s*** boring repetitive posts from you would have been mind numbing if i had cared to read them.

Good to win away from home but against a depleted team that has won 2 games for the year I think we need to keep it perspective IMO

Oh he’s back Mehebabble
The quality he took on and destroyed today was immense
And absolutely no cheap goals either - most of his goals were on the run from outside 50
I’d make him captain if I were Ratts cause he always stands up against top 4 opponents like today….

Whoop de do spoke loud. Check out Dogs draw v ours, celebrating too loud and crowing told you so might be premature . But take the shot.
Nice win to build on but reakes of what could have been .

Yay. We beat the 2nd bottom team who have won 2 games this year. Oh, and who appear to have put the cue in the rack for this year.

All is well in the world. Carry on

So you’d describe it as one of those hopeless 5 goal performances from a forward that inevitably leads to them being dropped next week.

I get that wins interstate in general are good….

But are we fair dinkum here?
Struggled to beat the 2nd bottom side that has a % of 57 with 2 wins 🙃

We are going backwards a 100mph and at this rate will be bottom 4 next year.

I for one am losing interest when you look at the garbage 2nd rate game we played compared to when you flicked over and watched the last qtr of the other game.

Deadset wasting our time and biding time until we slide down the ladder for the 6556th time in my life.

What is there to actually get excited about?
Where’s the next Dal Santo, Montagna, Hayes, Harvey? Or anyone worthy of playing 250 games in the midfield??

Look, last weeks performance was disgraceful and saying so was ok, What sucked as far as I'm concerned were the repeated calls to sack the coach, the president, the COO, the CEO, the recruiting staff and half the players and send the rest to Tasmania or die. That shouldn't be too difficult for you to understand.

I call a spade a f****** shovel and if you don't like it, I couldn't give a rats. You are not compelled to read any of my post but my OP was so f****** obvious, I couldn't resist. There will be no apology from me if I upset any ones delicate feelings.

There were dozens of posts last week that could be considered offensive. Luckily I didn't read most of them and they remain unopened and unread. A first for me in over 20 years.
