Thought we got outcoached tonight.

Having Josh Schache as the unused "super-sub" was an utter waste of time!

Simon Goodwin has a lot of "learnings" to do over the off season.

 

Totally but will he even revue it !

Gawn - useless against mediocrity 

Petracca - tried but ineffective 

Oliver - season worst game

Viney - had no influence 

Neal-Bullen - nothing after first

Harmes - mediocre at best

Brayshaw - gave little drive

Petty - season worst game

Salem - lost all composure 

Hunt - not required standard 

Jackson - counted his money

Langdon - disposal was amateurish 

May - not his fault

Lever - poor under pressure 

Brown - an embarrassing performance 

Pickett - important but undisciplined 

Melksham - another inept display 

Sparrow - was he playing?

Fritsch - unsighted second half 

Hibberd - age has wearied 

Rivers - loose and unsighted

Spargo - continued poor year

 

Harsh ! but mostly true with some glaring exceptions Petty and Charlie - they tried all night ! And are in my better players ! 

Wow - I watched another game as well -

Salem - Fritsch both played well - the balance were competitive including Brown Spargo Langdon and most others you bagged - Watch the replay ! Slowly !,

I also think the knee injury he picked up in the first practice game has been an issue.

A more seasoned player can maybe deal with these things better but his mobility has suffered and along with that so has his form.

 

 Thanks 

All 3 words looked good to me ! 
Viney - best yet again 

Rest - largely under performed !

Sorry if this has been discussed but can someone please enlighten me as to what on earth has happened to Rivers ??

YOU BEAUTY!

We are built to play finals footy and it showed tonight. Their midfield was on top early but Gawn wrestled control back from McInerney and from there we controlled play for most of the match. Had we kicked straight in the second and Brown nailed his third quarter miss we could by that stage have been 10 goals up.

Fitness again coming to the fore I reckon. McStay's injury doesn't impact their ability to run the game out as the sub negates the lack of a rotation, but in the fourth quarter we had all the running.

Our A-graders carried us but some of our lesser lights were stand outs. Langdon's first half was terrific, Rivers was rock solid, Sparrow might have played his best game in his career, and the much-maligned Brayshaw, Harmes and Viney all played great games I thought.

We bullied a full strength dominant clearance midfield and held the highest scoring side in the comp to their second-lowest number of scoring shots and second-lowest score of the year. We kept the king of the fl*gs, Daniher, goalless for the first time this year. And we put up 93 points and 28 scoring shots when everyone says our scoring is our weakness.

Now we get the week off, which is invaluable this year, we avoid Port Adelaide in Adelaide, and we set ourselves up for a shot at the big dance.

Get the [censored] around us!

Well said Titan - makes me emotional just reading it ! Wow what an unbelievable night ! Had to pinch myself when I woke this morning just to see if I was dreaming  !

I was there and 9 -sitting in the top deck of the members northern stand with my mother whilst my father drank beer with mates on the Verandah  of the Annexe bar ( later ceiled off) - I remember lots of that famous last quarter and the tension towards the end - I was standing (like most at that stage ) when my mother who was calm and seated tapped me and said the siren had gone but the game was continuing as the crowd was so loud that the umps hadn’t heard the siren ! I can still feel that moment and are saddened that it may finally happen again this year and we can’t all be there. 

22 out 22 brilliant - cheers Joeboy

I didn’t even bother watching, I’m the real winner here.

Nor did I first game I haven’t bothered since Roos turned up - probably won’t again till Goodwin leaves ! Sad but true ! (I don’t resemble the supporter I was or would like to be - Dictator Dan doesn’t help my attitude but Goodwin platitudes are even worse if that’s possible !

Seems hard to talk about after such a good win but does TMac get back? 

 

For me no change, tell Jackson it's he's spot to lose now.

Agree - let T Mac fight for his spot ! 

All good except Brayshaw - important midfield contributor !! And maybe VDB - Gives it up !

Love this thread each week - thanks - don’t always agree ( none of us do ) but always enjoy and look forward to your 3 word summary - this week agree with all ( except Weid ) 
Weiderman - Made massive contribution !

Joeboy spot on - only better said by George on the outer who was 100% correct - neither side wanted to win we wanted to win less and clearly the coach has no idea how to do just that !!
