Thing is... sometimes the description is seen as unnecessarily patronising or remonstrative.... But this is actually just very...matter of fact. This is what they were. Have no doubt they played their guts out... But... no chocolates... 1 Quote

DemonWA 3,941 Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Gawn - Battled all game Viney - one fatal kick Petracca - decent game only Oliver - almost kicked sealer May - dominated his opponent Salem - tough and effective Rivers - tried his best Langdon - only did running McVee - calm under pressure Pickett - one of best Lever - very good game Spargo - very good game Chandler - little impact again Fritsch - uncharacteristic misses costly McDonand- was barely sighted Neal-Bullen - ran all day Tomlinson - justified his selection Bowey - costly fumble late Hunter - far from worst Smith - good first half Jordan - big shoes unfilled Sparrow - in the bests Edited September 15, 2023 by DemonWA 6 Quote

JJ Haydos 46 Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 My 5 word or under analysis Gawn - outplayed but tried Viney - no real impact Petracca - couldn't get involved Oliver - wasteful with ball Kozzie - more cold than hot May - well played mate Lever - did his job Bowey - barely seen McDonald - did he even play? Chandler - Bedford is much better McVie - damn good year Salem - still off his best Spargo - one of his best Smith - tried Hunter - ok, nothing special Langdon - slipped too often Jordan - move him on Tomlinson - good luck next year Neal-Bullen - little impact really Rivers - quiet game, but big future Fritsch - underdone but still classy Sparrow - one tough unit Schacke - did as much as TMac Ump # 22 - Carlton's 3 votes 1 Quote

BAMF 4,485 Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 We lost that game like we have lost every game over the last few years. Close. Maybe a few calls that went against us.. but ultimately it comes down to missed opportunity. This was the last hurrah with this game plan. We should have won last week if we picked correctly. We didn't. Laurie and Schache as sub were the oddest choices all season. 4 1 Quote

Should have been back as sub again snd in last quarter he might quite easily have won It for us with some skill and conversion. 1 Quote
