To me yesterday was embarrassing, not heartbreaking. We lost so we'll finish 14th or so instead of 12th. Maybe a little soul-crushing but nothing on the 2023 semi final for example.

I think Max is a good leader in terms of personal relationships, but we definitely had a breakdown of strategy in the final quarter.

Had a Sydney fan mock me in a group chat so i said 'at least we weren't the only team to lose a game in one quarter this round', was happy with that - but then he said that was 'the best comeback ever'. 1-1 after 90 minutes, onto Extra-Time and penalties it seems.

I know we're all angry and annoyed from today's capitulation, but there is no need to start throwing haymakers at each other on here.

The entire 4th quarter was a moment

We had last quarter fades in 2024, we started this season with an absolutely abysmal last quarter %. Whether its coaching, the fight in the player or fitness - It's all part of the recipe. And we need to examine the cookbook,

Thanks - i would have given you a positive 'reaction' but it would have made me too sad.

It's difficult only having one sub, need to balance the risk of early injury vs getting quick/fresh legs in at the end. Chuck has positive attributes, but they're only shown when everything is going well. To be a good sub IMO you need to have one standout attribute whether that be versatility/pace/physicality/marking/goals or whatever - and Spargo doesnt really tick any of those boxes. As i said in another thread, if he's not starting, he probably should be lining up for Casey.

Can someone please explain the last 8 seconds to me. The infringement. the pause, no one following in NWM

Its an interesting one, our injury list hasn't been that bad this year, but our 4th quarters have been diabolical

I am ready to walk right now, right into the ocean

This still exists, but time is also our rarest commodity.

Would love some journos to ask some tough questions about that last quarter - but fear we wont get a real honest answer anyway. What did we do to stem the bleeding/try get control back? The credits are fast expiring from his account.

But if are talking about Football, id much rather see Luker have a go next week than Petty. I actually like Spargo, but I don't think he's a good choice of a sub. So at the moment, if he's not starting, he should be at Casey. I know Sharp doesnt set the world on fire but he's a good sub. if not him who else?

Words have truly escaped me. I wonder what the crowd will be next week - against West Coast at Marvel early Saturday afternoon. Any motivation I have to attend that game has currently been zapped out of me, this might change by Saturday but gee whiz.
