As Campo said after the game on the radio though, you give that many I50's to Geelong in a final and you're gonna be in trouble with Cameron, Neale and Danger down there
What has your inside 50 record been over the season? Maybe that's why you struggle against the Cats. Cats definitely the biggest challenge in finals for you.

I love to bag Murphy as much as the next person but he wasn't our worst tonight. He did a decent job quelling Josh Daicos. Some of Daicos' touches were kick outs as well.
Yep. Kept J Daicos from doing much front half damage at least.

Murph hardly touched it himself but let's be honest, that's a major positive

My favourite Murphy moment though - the guy who flies against our talls constantly - needs to compete in the air vs Quaynor. Only Crow in the vicinity, most crucial stage of the game.

Now he stays down.

Infuriating. There was another moment very similar earlier in the game. Again didn’t go.
 
Bad: Murphy

Schoenberg had more of an impact on his 22 minutes on the ground than Murphy's 103 minutes.
Murphy put the clamps on Josh Daicos. Probably Josh’s most ineffective game of the season.

Murphy with or near the ball tho…

Officially a better home and away season than we had in 2017.

Edit: My bad, we actually achieved that last week.

So I’ll chuck this in - the revival of Wayne Milera has been huge.
 
Good:
Fog’s first half - really one of 5 players who kept us in it up to half time.

Isaac Cumming - much like Fog, did most of his best work in the first half, but his 3rd qtr tap on and goal was a HUGE play that many of our players would’ve bottled.

Keane - beast all night. Did some weird things by foot, but mauled his opponents in the air.

Milera - arguably our best player tonight for the full 4 quarters for mine. Super unlucky not to get a couple of frees too. Playing some excellent footy and it shows you what just staying healthy can do for a guy like Wayne.

Tex’s first half. Was hugely influential and crucial to us getting back in it.

Worrell - continues to evolve into one of the best “third talls in defence” in the AFL.

I don’t rate him usually, but I thought Hinge did some pretty important things even if a number of his decisions by foot were baffling. A much more solid game by him than anything he’s dished up in the last 6 weeks put it that way.

All but sewing up the minor premiership, and with a liiiiiitle bit of luck with the remaining results and percentages falling the right way, we MIGHT now have a shot at our home QF being against the Suns.



Bad:
Thilthorpe - love him, but he was bad. Huge mark and goal late obviously. But other than that, was a pile of nope. Looked like he couldn’t cover the ground.

Murphy and Schoenberg - these aren’t AFL players and it’s ridiculous to send them out there. I’m sure we’ll hear about the great defensive job Murphy did on Josh Daicos and yada yada yada - it’s complete rubbish.

Sam Berry - continues to struggle to get the ball, and tonight he was flat out laying a tackle either. Must lift.

Dan McStay - what a laughably terrible player.




Ugly:
Losing the inside 50 count 37-71. There will never be another game in history where a team loses the inside 50 count by 34 and wins the game. Ever.

Umps forgetting what a ****ing high tackle is.

The whole game in general. Sure there was a lot of pressure, but the dour up the line junk was a terrible spectacle.
