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!
