I agree; while it’s frustrating to have missed finals, finishing the home and away season with a win (over Collingwood no less) would surely inject a better energy, hunger and belief into the pre-season than another consecutive straight sets exit.
I just had a dream that Clayton Oliver kicked from the pocket to Ben Brown (?) standing right on the goal line who slotted it in to put us 35 points up halfway through the third quarter. MAKE OF THAT WHAT YOU WILL.
I couldn’t watch the game on the night and wondering if it’s worth watching the replay — I gather it was an intense contest but not sure I can muster the enthusiasm to watch it, knowing the result…
Apart from the missed set shots, felt like there were fewer skill errors than in recent weeks and despite their limited match time this year I thought Tomlinson and Smith brought great value today and got us out of some tight spots.
imagine how good we’ll be when Kosi and Fritsch regain their form and Clarry and Petty are back in.
Just saw the updated fixture and we get to play Richmond, North, the Hawks and Sydney just before finals too and even on current form you’d imagine none of those should trouble us too much.
They will be tough but I reckon we are finding a groove and expect us to be competitive at the very least. I thought the attitude last night was exemplary of how we need to play against those sides.
