I agree it is truly awful to watch. We won’t attract any floating fans playing like that

It’s an emotional game football and we all want us to do well but even if we’d have been beaten today I would take encouragement from the performance

Football might not have been pretty but the effort was spot on

Everyone expected us to be spanked, we showed up and took the point at the death..

Would rather see that than what we had last year.

Some people will never be happy no matter what.. the negativity is unreal sometimes

Gonna be total John Wayne showing True Grit.

Come on fellas, give them some credit. We have lost the first two, they have banged in 8 in their first two. We need to battle first, the football can come later. We battled for everything. Their first goal was horrendous but the way we responded after that and after the second goal deserves credit

Great comeback very ugly game - only watched on tv couldn’t make the game

Rather see us battle don’t care how ugly it is - results bring in the floating fans not [SwearFilter] around football and still losing.

Dead right! The first job of an away team is to get a
result, not worry about entertaining. Would people rather we had played open, entertaining football and lost?

Deserved point - applaud the physicality of the team today. We fought for everything, players putting their bodies on the line for the Barra badge.

Technically, we still need to improve. But it’s progress.

A good point away to a tricky outfit.

I worry about us at both ends in terms of quality but I cant fault them for commitment today which is a nice thing to be able to say again. It wont be a pretty season but thats the national league I suppose. Take a point and move on. Pleased for Innis getting his goal
