We have a reputation of being downhill skiers.  We have played some great footy this year, when we have been permitted to run freely.

But if we really want to go to the next level, we need to learn to step up when more physicality is imposed on us by the opposition.  At this stage, it would appear to be so close yet so far.

[censored] that's a stupid comment. had Brayshaw been played the mark and Wingard not we would of won. 

we have very few plodders and are still adapting to life after lever

In addition to what you just said, Rance Dusty Cotchin etc. are all in their prime - our stars haven’t even hit their peaks yet.

Oliver 20, Brayshaw 21, Hogan 22, Viney 23, Petracca 21, and the list goes on and on.... our list is so young and we are only going to get better - how promising is that!

Give it 3-4 years and let’s then see how those “plodders” are travelling.

Gee I hate seeing the Melbourne Media pumping up our performance.. that game may have cost us a chance at finals.. 

If we lose to one of WB, StK, Freo, GC, or GWS - THAT will cost us a finals place.

But if we lose one of them and don't knock of at least one of Geel, WCE, Syd, or Adel - then we aren't as good as we all thought we were.
