A few random thoughts: Why is Langdon playing forward? Is he injured, playing as a defensive forward or is he doing a block of loading? It makes zero sense to have our best wingman playing forward of centre. I think we showed more of what we are capable of in a game we lost on Friday than in any of the games we’ve won this season. When we take the game on, when our contest and pressure rate is up and when our defence holds (and boy how much better does it look with Lever in there). As Goodwin said in his presser he thought we went into our shells and played it safe in the last quarter. I almost felt like we almost didn’t take the game on at the end until a minute or so left and TMac was ducking and weaving around multiple players to bring the ball forward with any sense of desperation to attack. I was furious all night how dirty the Lions played. A few notable examples were Raynor’s elbow into Woewodin (a cheap shot) but what upset me more was Harris Andrews punching Fritta after Andrews out marked him. How does the AFL allow players to punch an opposition player to their body like that? It’s a disgrace. I think if anything the dirty play lifted the boys but I just don’t think that’s good for the game. Crushed after this loss naturally but honestly I feel better about how we’re tracking from this loss than after the North game.

Most of us probably expected a 10 goal loss at the first bounce. We lost by 5 points to a good side interstate. We have so much to be proud of despite being equally devastated that the result didn’t go our way (thank you umpires). We’re a way off our consistent best but we played better in that second quarter than we have for a long time. We deserved to win this game. So many players stepped up big time for us. I think we’re all feeling a bit like the North supporters after their last fortnight.

We had something like 9 players 22 and under on the ground for the North game. This to me highlights that we’re already future focused and trying to develop our list. Yes we haven’t got much depth right now being hit by injuries but I feel like we are doing what we can and asking a lot of young players to step up into challenging roles. I’m bullish about the future with Rivers, van Rooyen, McVee, Bowey, Tholstrup, Howes, Brown, Windsor, Woewodin and Turner to name a few. They all have a huge amount of improvement yet in them in the years to come. Was really happy with the win given the past few weeks. I am very much hoping for a Binman special funky result against the Lions!

I really hope Trac comes back to the club and gives guidance on game day and mentor the mid group. He can still provide a lot from the sidelines.
