Remarkable effort in that prelim last quarter when you consider we backed up from the semi in Perth and they had enjoyed a week off.I watched it again this arvo as well, and we were monstered in the clearances from the end of the 1st through until about the midway of the 4th.That killed us.Ryder in the ruck will be more then handy as he's a great tap ruckman, his hitouts go to advantage alot more then Lobbe's who is more your give a contest, run the other ruckman into the ground type of ruckman.A lot of little things went wrong that night, Ryder coming into that 22 will be worth another 5 goals I feel.
And yes, the combination of a clearance pantsing for 2.5 quarters, the ineffectiveness of Trengove and Lobbe for much of the match, and the clinical finishing of a bloke called Roughead was our undoing.
