We hung on ... just.  It was a worry that we let them get close and they may consider their trajectory is now ahead of us !! 

The problem will be whether the Demons can handle the 83 day break.

You can watch the final 5 minutes here. 

 

There was a golden example in there of what Frost does when he is on the liability side of things. Gave up a stupid free kick directly in front to give them level, takes a mark and immediately coughs it up. I was sad he left but we have enough liability players.

I prefer to remember the 2018 game

Optimists keep telling me that 2019 was an aberration

 

While I've obviously missed not having football to watch, I've also missed the regular threads throughout the season on Demonland, such as this one. Thanks WJ for bringing some normalcy back.

if we are a team that wants to play finals, we should win 4 outr of 4. 

Carlton - Injuries and youth, Goal kicking is their problem. Jetta on Betts. 

Essendon - Can be good, but we  should out point them in the middle.

Geelong - at the G should help us. Our only worry i reckon

Sydney - a side that is in between a rebuild and hanging on to finals. Simply we want to play finals, we beat them.

Stupid free to give away, no brains or awareness of position or the score. Took a good competitive mark later but the negatives must have out weighed the positives.  You never know this might have been the final nail.

There was a new contract about now Round 16 or they were talking about one. 

My memory has gone where my hair has.  might be  totally wrong.

I'm going to be genuinely interested to follow his progress at the Hawks, so many in the media were giving the club a grilling for letting him go, but I don't know if Clarko will be able to work his magic on Frost. He is way too unpredictable.

The revisionism about this game never ceases.

We were 7 goals up when we had a bench. They caught up because our 6-goal in three quarters FF went off and we couldn't rotate anyone off the ground in the fourth quarter.
