I sympathize with the Libba injury, it sucks and it's no good seeing a genuine young gun of the competition go down. But this is your match thread, not a Libba thread. Bringing his injury into the analysis of the game is irrelevant imo, but that doesn't mean I'm being disrespectful towards it.
To address your points, I'm saying you should have won by 50 points or more because of the dominance you had in general play, that you were unable to convert into scoreboard pressure due to a mix of our pressure, and your squads' overall poor skill level. For example:
62-27 inside 50's.
40-29 clearances.
339-251 disposals.
You were far superior in general play, yet with 6 mins to go, we were in-front and still in with a big chance. That has to be concerning to you, surely? Especially considering the context of our omissions as well.
Also, my other point is simply that the opposition you played today is probably the easiest it's going to get this season at AFL level, and if our vastly undermanned squad was able to put enough pressure on your boys to make them struggle, it's going to get exponentially harder when you play teams with their senior players actually in the squad, who will put even more pressure on you guys and probably cause even more skill errors than we did today.
You can think this was a great win if you want to, but I'm just trying to provide some context here. You'd wanna play a hell of alot better than that moving forward if you wanna actually get out of the Bottom 4.
I doubt there's anyone among us who isn't aware of these factors. However, I'd venture that anyone who thinks they can learn much from this match (be it positive or negative) is deluded: historically, pre-season form and regular season form don't seem to be particularly strongly correlated. These games are a sandbox, where coaches and teams can try out new things and see how they work (or what needs more work).
