Rd 9: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. North Melbourne

[Slugger]

I think the loss will do us more good than harm,it puts into perspective where we are at as a football team the last thing you want is a lot of honourable losses so the club and supporters start to think we are already there,theses sort of losses will only make the club and coaching stall work harder to bridge the gap.As long as we have the likes of army,jamo,walker,jones,Rowe and a couple of others in our side we will never ever match it with the big boys.
We may beat the bottom half of the ladder but that's where we have been since 95.When Casboult,and down the line somewhere C Curnow ,McKay,Silvagni.are all in our team we may have a forward line and some structure.We really are a key backman short at the moment and a couple of hard nut inside mids,as soon as murph ,Gibbs and Cripps are off we really struggle and our only true ruckman at the moment is kruezer,I have high hopes for Philips as I thought he has got something going for him,let's hope he is not another Kruezer and injury prone.Buckly,Tutt and Graham are another three that will have there papers stamped at the end of there contracts as none of the three are anything special and never will be.They try hard and I love them for that but what top team would any of them get a game with.if you are judging our players judge them on who would make a Hawks or Swans side and that will tell you exactly where they are.
Like it or not at least it's my opinion.
