Just means we will be hungrier against the Swannies in a couple of weeks.

Anyone who'd watched our games this year. Those 2 have been in our best every week.

Bring on Sydney....we will be back in top form for this game.

Are you trying to say I don't watch the games?

They have been good, Swan great even, but I didn't think our whole gameplan depended on them.

The positves, thinking hard but maybe these.

We have 2 weeks to regroup.

Given how bad we played, Pendles, Thomas, Yakka and Rowe did ok

Never ever play Morrison again, worst disposal I have seen.

Never play Lonie in the backs

Stop playing only one ruckman

To not get done by 100 points was good

Rhyce should get his chance this week

Harry's a chance

Eags might get a recall too

Not that much else in the kitty all of a sudden with half a dozen or so injuries!

Rusling still looks a ways off

Dutchy and Richards might be back or might not see footy till the other side of the break.

I am disappointed by the loss, we weren't able to keep in it and fight it out, but it's not the end of the world, we are going to need to improve against the Swans.

Not particularly, Cam. You asked a question. Seemed an obvious answer to me.

I wouldn't get too carried away as it was just one of those days. As many have said nothing went right and we are much better than that.

Can someone tell Ryan Lonie that the best way to get the football and dispose of it is to stay on your feet! At one stage he went to his knees even though the nearest opponent was 10m away. He is a tremendous talent but a bit lacking in the heart department.

Look I think this needs perspective.

Yes today was a big day - bragging rights for best side in VIC were up. But if we are going to have a loss I would rather do it when we have two weeks to think about it.

Let Melb have the bragging rights - its about the end of the season not the middle.

Our worry is our game style, our lack of depth and our ability to be adaptable. MM will have to work on that and lets hope he can. He cannot be pig headed about this - he needs to help them find a way to beat this style. Tiges and Swans are very good at it.

Holland, Swan, Richards and Maxy should be back and Rhyce should be promoted.

I would leave out Morrison, Yakka, Rowe, and not sure of other two yet. Rowe was poor. His skill level has not improved and poor old Yakka just could not get into it.

Cannot imagine us playing much worse.............well I can.....we did last year but I believe these blokes are much better and can bounce back. 2 wins from the next 4 would be good - 3 very good effort and set us up for finals tilt.

Think the difficulty will be Dees will win their next 4 on paper and Swans (think a little more likely than us), Ade and Eagles will round out top 4. Today makes it harder for us to finish top 4 given the Dees run in.

Well I went there very pumped and left with great disappointment. No excuses today as they had a few out but they made up for it with commitement and absolute hardness at the ball. Our players were always waiting for someone else to go in and get it. We got absolutely smashed in the clearances.

This was a great reality check for us today. Before we start talking about premierships, we still have to make the eight! We are not there yet folks. And if we lose to Sydney, some serious questions are going to be asked of our side as we have now lost probably our three biggest tests of the season against Adelaide, West Coast and now Melbourne! I would hate to lose another big test as it may appear that we can only beat bottom eight sides!

does anyone else think that trav looks a little heavy? he has lost his burst on the lead and his kicking has gone down hill

next week i think harry, rhyce, stretch and davies would all be a chance of playing against the swans
yakka, rowe, trav and thomas might have to make way
