I posted after our great win against Adelaide that 'intensity' was our key word, as when we play with a high level of it, we cant be beaten. Our intensity this year has been hardly seen, for reasons not known. I think it is a miracle we have won 6 games, we have been shocking for all but about 14 quarters this year.

No run, and we look slow. We missed Rhyce Shaw badly, and i cant believe Cole got dropped because he at least has some leg speed. Many more negatives this year than positives. We break down so badly across half forward that it is laughable, and Taz has to come up the ground because Molly and Rocca just cant catch a cold at the moment. Surely Rupe would provide some sort of moving target across half forward. Fraser and Brodie Holland have really given us something lately but little else is good news.

All in all dissappointing and i have a feeling we may scrape in to the 8, however perhaps other sides underneath us may want it more as was shown today. And i also cant believe people suggesting we would go 10 - 5 after 15. I thought 3 out of 5 would be good, but i am shuddering at the thought of what Freo will do to us on the G with there leg speed, and the Roos also. I have a feeling we may go 11-11 like 2001, though we played better in 2001 by a mile than this year.

I think my signature tells the story, when ever we play stop start footy we are one of the most boring sides in the comp and it is very frustrating to watch, but on the other hand when we move the ball on quickly and give Tarrant all the room he wants in the f 50 we are one of the most exciting.

I was watching the game on the replay and only once did collingwood move the ball on quickly to Tarrant on the lead when there was less than
10 Hawthorn players in defence and I would have to say that the Collingwood midfield has the worst disposal when kicking it into the forward 50 ragardless of the conditions.

And just listening to MM in the conference he regected to say that Collingwood looked flat and said Hawthorn were terrific which I don't really buy because if we kicked accuratly in the 1st Q the game would have been just about won.

I think we will finish between 4-6 but Rocca must lift so some attention gets taken away from Tarrant and we could have used Cloke as the loose man in defence when the game was getting taken away from us and never play him in the forward line again as we have not won a game when he has.

P.S I am not baggin us just pointing out the same faults we display when ever we lose.

one good thing - Molloy's performance. He was at it all first quarter and last quarter, just had NO help at all. He's back into some touch by the looks of it, he just needs some more mobility so he doesn't hit our guys!!

Pies really need to think about their season and where they are at because the next few games are not easy because they are in melbourne.

too many 2-1 and 3-1's in their favour today. We were static all day, and lacked run. bad execution of decisions, and didn't work for each other. very disappointing.

Agree NR147, your signature says it all.

I totally agree with u there hordak and the only reason I think we will finish between 4-6 is that we can not play any worse and surely will hit some form.

Does anyone know what is wrong with Antony Rocca???????????? is he injured
he is not performing like last year seems very flat.

Taz should be appalled with the delivery today, absolutely pathetic display.

On other matters, West Coast beating Brisbane has seen top 4 well and truly gone now.

pathetic, dumb and dissapointing. I wouldn't been surprised if the pie fans booed them off. It was shocking, Mick and the boys have gotta take a look at themselves.
Presti performace was shocking. 4 kicks went to hawk players and his defending was bad too. In fact, Josh and Holland and Woey were the best with Buckley. Highly dissapointing game. I think top four is well and truly out of reach now
