Easy to be upset that we couldn't get it done but what I was really hoping for before this game was nonstop effort, not going into their shells and conceding big runs of goals, and showing that they'd finally developed the maturity to keep working and believing. And they didn't give up even late in the game when it was clear we couldn't win, forcing the double reigning premiers at full strength to go all the way and play their best footy, and that's how a young side learns to play the kind of footy that matters.

Could have won this game and it sucks that we didn't but it's a huge step up from all the times we were absolutely no chance of winning. And missing 2-3 of our best 22, playing guys in their place who wouldn't have a career anywhere else.
 
That was cheating.

I hope Zorko did his calf. I hope the Ashcroft’s get snotted. They get armchair moustache rides from the umps.

We’ll be better than them soon.
Fixed that for you.

BTW can we not get lumped with Brisbane again next Gather Round?!? CRIPES!!!

Both proud and dirty about the performance.

Carried a lot of deadwood in the squad, and had them for most of the game but the game needs to be shown that when we all chip in, we can beat anyone. Not sure we could have said that last year. Competition is spread more even than ever.

That umpiring performance though. That was 2010s Subiaco shit.
 
This is harsh, but Sheezel failing to convert the most basic of set shots cost the game.

Would’ve been back within 4 points.

Last week, he instinctively nailed a great goal.

This week, can’t convert under no pressure.

Thought I’d be less pissed because they’re the reigning premiers but to shoot ourselves in the foot so many times and cost ourselves a really good chance at a massive win was infuriating.

Our bottom 6 is still diabolically bad. We need Hardeman to recover fast and a few others to step up if we want to really take it to the good teams.
 
Greasy ground and ball, should have suited our smalls yet Spargo and Banch gave us nothing. Spargo should not have played no where near fit, Banch not looking up to it unfortunately. Too many errors that cost us, not to mention the umpires having a few quid on the lions.
 
Hard to assess as I was watching from the beer garden at the Toormina Hotel, but it felt more even than the scoreboard reflected. I felt the air went out of the game when Sheezel missed his shot, and a 10 point margin seemed more accurate.

Good showing against a top side. If there’s a bit more polish (thanks Clarko) that could be a win.
