Truth sits somewhere in the middle I think. The reality is, we smashed a really, really good side for three and a half quarters. Letting it slip in the post-lights section isn't great but is also understandable when you've got players falling left right and centre. Cause for concern but...

Most of the time I pretty much just sleep off the result of a game that didn't go our way. Not this one, apparently.

So many thoughts flying through my brain but the big one right now would be that if you can seriously watch us lose a game by a single point, a rotation down on the bench in the last, with that umpiring effort, and conclude "You know who I solely blame tonight? The players and coaches."...

Obviously putrid umpiring a massive factor but let's maybe not talk about putting umpires in hospital or stalking them on Instagram.

If you told me that we'd lose McStay in the first quarter and then ask me why we'd go on to lose the game, I don't think "systemic defensive collapse" would have been the answer I offered up. Hugely disappointing loss. Too many passengers. A lot of questions to be asked around how to actually...

Just a bloke needing a vent about this crappy year 😂

On target to score 2550ish and still lose both elimination finals by 100 points. So, so, so excited to finally put a bullet in this season and delete this app in a few hours. To better times ahead.

Dusty and Jelly to whatever the two best options I can afford and then after that basically taking my hands off the wheels of this team and gleefully letting it smack into the wall.

To paraphrase a quote from Parks and Rec - "You gotta be good and you gotta be lucky." Reality is that we've taken some injury Ls at an awful time of season, so we're not lucky, and we've got key players out of form and a lack of depth on the fringes of the squad, so we're not good enough for...

Genuinely think this might be the first year I've played where I just walk away from my side mid-year. Finally got to pseudo full-premo this week (carrying Jiath and Heeney at 6 in their positions) and potentially lose Whitfield, Zilliams, Langford, and Jiath this week with 3 trades left. This...

If you want the really big concern out of that game, we completely went to water essentially the second Hipwood went off. I don't know if that's structural or psychological. Neither are good.

Think between the nature of this loss and the injuries we're going to walk away with, the season is pretty much cactus in terms of a "serious premiership contender" way.

If good teams win ugly when needed, we must be a very good team because that's as ugly a 50 point win as you'll see. Adams or Bailey BOG. Genuinely think we'll be talking Bailey up as an AA chance next year.

Only other one I'd throw out there that's yet to be discussed is Charlie's efforts in scoring a couple of goals, having 10 score involvements, and absolutely taking Tom Stewart to task. Very impressive game.

Eh, stand by it. In terms of expectation at half time compared to full time result, that's the most flattened I've felt by this side since we were a proper ordinary team. Each to their own though!

Hard to find a more disappointing loss in recent times to be honest.

This game was an absolute textbook example of an uneven free kick count sometimes being totally justified. Ridiculous article.

To the moon! Campbell > Jones via Laird DPP Tex > Piggy via Dunkley DPP

Grundy into Big Tex.

Bruhn > Chapman via Sharp DPP at this point. Need to shore up the defensive line with all of Sharp/Highmore/Kosi potentially out this coming week and have an incredibly slim bank to the point of Kosi > Chapman not even being a viable trade. Bruhn already sits at a BE of 18 and despite being...

Christ, Dunstall using the Zorko/Robinson at the end of the match to suggest that Brisbane still have things to work on. Absolutely pitiful commentary.

Weird old game. That second quarter was, for mine, the second best quarter we've played all year with only THAT quarter against Port beating it - being able to dominate in the pouring rain like that was a frightening display of what we could be at our best. But that second half, yeesh. Would be...

Knocked out of any league I care about, so time to just rage trade. Weller > Maynard with the peace of mind of knowing that I'll never pick him again. Riccardi > Coleman Final week will be Schroeberg > Brayshaw and Draper > Best Available.

Imagine picking Lachie Weller as a defender POD and keeping him the whole year. Life ban from my squad.

Still the only game I've ever left before the final siren.

Yeah this particular strategy really baffles me to be honest. I don't mind him getting a few games as an older body to make a contest, but why on earth is he getting around 40% game time and effectively turning us into a three rotation bench team? I'm sure there's some reason they're playing him...

They're spent. They're absolutely spent. Between the goal-kicking, watching players like Berry and McCluggage go two steps too far and get caught in tackles that wouldn't have landed earlier in the year, watching basically the entire team lay tackles that don't actually take North players out...

Fyfe at 588 or Titchell at 568?

Getting increasingly frustrated watching balls sail through Hipwoods hands that he really should be gathering clean.

Reckon this is the worst week to get Neale. Breakeven of 128 up against the best side in the competition. As good as he is surely he can't keep going at 160 forever.
