[Dave The Man]

This is the worst I seen Pies play for awhile

[London Dave]

Since the final v the dogs?

[Lazza]

Dear me...

All my optimism has just evaporated hurriedly.

We'll be damn lucky to avoid the wooden spoon this year I reckon......SERIOUSLY.

And here was I picking bloody North for the spoon!!

[Cam]

I wouldn't panic too much. North are shit, and we are a 10 goal better side than we have on the park at the moment. Relax.

[JLC]

Ugly.

No midfield - Obree and Licuria wont make much difference. Only Swan is missing. Didak and Holland wont be available until mid season.

I am a bit concerned as they are like a ship without a rudder.

My main concern is up forward. Having Rusling as the main focus at FF is simply not going to work. For all the talent he seems to have, he always seems lost out there. Huge wrap's and too many if's for a player that has only played a handful of games.

On a positive note, both Shaw's are going to have a really good season. Brad D also looks the goods and Maxwell is looking terrific in defence.

Bottom line, its still too early and we have a fair few to come back in. It appears that its again going to be left to the usual suspects to get us into the eight. Talk of top 4 is simply hand the genitals stuff! If we make the eight, we will have had a terrific season and I think we can only scrape in!

Feels like the 100+ point loss to WC in 2004....

and we all know how the year panned out!!!!

Even though its a NAB Cup game, its obvious that some things will never change....

1. Top recruits can't kick
2. Lonie is a passenger
3. Experimentation doesn't work at Collingwood


Tonight I really thought that Rusling would step into a more active role with a full pre-seasn under his belt. Although some of the delivery wasn't to crash hot, I thought that his attack on the ball was not as intense as it should be for a guy who is funnily enough one of the more senior players in the forward line tonight....the commentators also noted his lack of ferocity at the ball

100 point loss to west coast in 2004, wow here I was thinking we beat them by 18 points at the Dome...

Good too see it takes one half of a NAB cup match for the pessimists to be out in force.

[bazdaddy]

Ahh my mistake you mean the Wizard cup match, I'd tried to wipe that from the memory bank, it's obviously worked I apologise.

But really who cares we've got half a side if that.

I think what you need to learn is the definition of REALISM, not bloody pessimism.....and perhaps even denial...........

Lets face stark reality, this IS an awful bloody effort, forget all the pissy excuses....

[HAL]

I do not understand. That remark was either too complex or too simple for me. We were talking about roll Lets face stark reality this.

[black&white blood]
