The Good- I saw more good signs than last week. Started very well out of the blocks. Some of the passages of play looked very good. I particularly liked how we adjusted to the conditions and played well to them. We adjusted that silly tactic of getting rid of the footy as soon as we were tackled, I thought we held it in longer and meant the other mob didnt run off with it unopposed. Weiters was huge as was Plow inhibiting Grays customary 4 or 5 goals against us. Cripps is just Cripps, leads from the front and kept us in the game.
The bad- Goal less 2nd qtr is totally unacceptable. I dont to see another qtr where we dont score a goal for rest of the year. Bolts needs to make a very strong point of this, above anything else in my opinion. Last qtr fade out was not good. To claw our way back into the game at 3 qtr time and not go on with it was disappointing. Two very average qtrs and we go down by 16 pts away from home one man down, this makes me very frustrated and this needs to be rectified urgently.
Deja vous. I think every time we get on a roll (and start looking good) the boys slack off and then find it hard to 'click' again....
The numbers suggest Port worked harder than us too?

I know people dont like to blame umpires but our free kick were all at half back, whilst port had about 3 score involvements from dicey decisions.

We really struggled to get first use of the footy, and we're not a stripping team as yet, so it really puts us on the back foot from the get go. Clearances and CP's are usually even or in our favour.
I don't think the boys slacked off (i.e lack of effort). I jus think they're young and not yet gelled as a team. Thus they lose focus quite easily.

Yes, a better way of putting it - thanks.

...the exact thing you are suggesting we do now.
Are we really that low when we are talking up making a grand final?
StKilda released a DVD called The Streak perhaps we should do the same?

Where's Chuck at, jarred knee? What's that mean, bruising to the internal cushioning/ligaments?
I thought he looked more "on" prior to this happening.

In answer to your question....ummm...yes!
Not sure if you've noticed the past 2 decades or not, but that is a clear highlight with daylight 2nd.
Worst drought in history currently.
But back to your initial point. Carlton post 90s vs hawks recent dynasty is chalk and cheese and not comparable. Period.

Not sure i'm buying the 'jarred knee' talk. Pretty sure he stretched his medial as the knee came out sideways based on the vision.
With a bit of luck its a 'small one' and he'll be back in a few weeks, no surgery required.

The only positive is that he was moving well enough to strap it and test it...
Although last time that happened it was Sam Rowe with an ACL injury...

Just talked about it on gameday and the doc said (female doc, not sure her name) said she isn't sure what it is, but it could be a slight medial or meniscus.
Basically the same scenario i suggested above....but really unsure.
