I think for the most part there is a lot of accuracy here. For me Anb was pretty good.sparrow had an absolute shocking first half whic made his night less than average. Petracca a little similiar same but incredible second half.

Which makes it all so frustrating tgat we lost by 7 points. 

Half a game by way too many and the usual rubbish kicking into 50 and at goals as well.

Maybe one day we will come out with some intent from the start and make it easier for ourselves.

Imagine if we played well all night.

We'd probably be in a gf this year.

Now just like our catch up footy we've played all year, it's catch up finals.

Of all nights for Jv to go missing this one was a bummer . But he's been incredible all year. I don't think Sparrow will ever really make it. Shows some glimpses . Chandler even less so. Kozzie is way too hot and cold. Salem is lost or sick. Lever spends too much time directing others. Laurie was a huge coaching error. Tmac well in by default.  Hopefully will retire. Langdon has done little this year. 

Congrats to May, Max, and Bowey who kept us in it. I would mention Trac but there is something wrong with him lately. He's clearly a champion with 32 touches. But about 75 percent of them came in the 2nd half. Too late. It's been a strange pattern for some time now and difficult to understand why. 

I guess the upside is we almost beat the minor premiers with only a few playing their best. 

 

Ditto … agree with 98% of this…agree with the frustration and anger and disappointment

agree on post except I’m still onboard with Tom Sparrow.

Sparrow has always reminded me of another CP.He hasn't really developed enough for me. Love his strength but he does seem to drift in and out of games.

Guess we are all very disappointed.  Even with our shocking run of fwd injuries we did enough to beat the filth but poor kicking once again was tge main culprit. Hard to swallow that one out of bounds and a behind to be goals and we are in a prelim. And pretty much from so many who played below their  best.  So close but so far. 

It's a hard game and a reminder of why we took 57 years. They don't come easy.

Langdon takes the easy out option now and he doing it more and more.

Could have drafted Sidebottom but chose another player He has elite kicking skills and is a goal kicker

And we have down for so so long.  Finally have probably the best or equal best team in the league. This is our chance. Our time. 

2021 yes yes yes.  🏆

2022 somehow slipped away with 2 home finals lost somehow !!! 

2023 still in it but seeing it slip away again. Injuries? Static play? Boring strategy? Boring coaching? No forward line strategy ? Skills not being fixed? We want the Gold. 

Wingers.  Soft as butter

Sometimes in high pressure finals, you need to put your head over the ball not continuously run past it

Langdon & Hunter we’re both guilty of this

CP5 (1st half) hello captain fumbles 

CP5 (2nd half) here’s our champion
