No wonder they sacked their so called fitness expert.

Ouch, that has got to hurt. But i thought everyone overrated Essendon earlier in the year, i was right. The fast start caught up with them.

Oh life, why art thou a heartless dog?
2012 is our year though.

[Cookie Monster]

it always happens, once we get good, we get injuruies.

thought we were a year to early for finals anyways (be a great for young kids tho), next year aim for top 8 have to do it. Hurley, Zaharakis i can see mauling the comp next year

Zaha and Hurley were fantastic pickups. Got to give credit to the recruiting staff once Sheedy left.

STEP 1: I reckon we send our whole team to some radical boot camp so they can toughen up... But also give them a long and relaxing break to relieve some stress.
STEP 2: We've got a decent coaching line-up, if none of them leaves, so now we need to make sure our physio's and what-not are top job.

-Don't stress yourselves too much anymore boys, we've versed the Pies, Blues and Tigers twice now, all fairly enjoyable games, and we had our piece of cake against GCS. So don't worry if we don't make finals, let Hirdy recuperate and gather his thoughts, and focus on next season where will consistently be in the top 6!

alot better now, few key players out including runners such as winda and dempsey, still hope for finals
