AFL Autopsy Loss to the Suns

[Nuggs Bunny]

Close but no cigar

 

[HirdyLannister]

 

[Old Campaigner]

Almost as good as a win

 

[Gabe251]

Trac the difference.

 

[jannissary]

lots to work on, keep on trucking.

i'd be happy with that.

 

[JayJ20]

Happy with our effort. We're not as far away as it seemed a few weeks ago.

 

[Jobe Watson]

I'm OK losing a game like that. Fought all day, wrestled back momentum when we needed to, some great passages of offensive play. Just beaten by a more experienced and more skilled team in the end.

 

[Test Tickle]

Progressing

 

[Calthorpe14]

We’re gunna be fine. The future is very bright and bringing that level of competitiveness every week and we’ll be in the game most weeks.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Can not be upset with that at all. Kept the pressure up and never stopped. To go down by under 2 goals, away from home, to a flag favourite, in warm conditions? I'll take that any day of the week with this group, they're really starting to show what they're capable of.

Bloody solid effort boys.

We are in with a real crack at ANZAC day next week!

 

[Loonerty]

Good performance, not having Ridley for a lot of the second half certainly didn't help, and no Edwards for the last five as well.

But a good performance, the pressure was outstanding.

 

[raskolnikov]

Damn. Oh well. At least it seems like we're not trash anymore.

 

[MiguelM]

Good effort. Just too many turnovers.

Backline beaten today and Long killed us in space.

Some dumb kickouts in Andrew's direction.

Tackling pressure was the highlight for me.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Great performance. Lost by a strained calf. Ridley played second half we win.

Trac the difference.

Ridley the difference

 

[jmoo wan]

nice game and wonderful effort etc... but did Underwood just congratulate the suns for grinding out a 9 point win in front of 19 thousand and 30 million?

 

[justlookingaround]

**** it I’m still singing the song
(The song being Essendon FC theme song African Version)

 

[Goat Hird]

Trac: ''They're a quality side''

 

[Andronicus]

Was a game that builds hope.

I'll take that these days.

 

[The Donners]

Granted I didn’t see the game but just over a kick interstate to a flag contender, take that. Preserves our draft position and clearly shows we can match it for the most part with quality teams.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Disappointing but great effort and if we're not making finals then brave losses are the perfect outcome really

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

We're close to turning that corner. I know it's easy to say after only 2.5 good games of footy, but despite being down a rotation (our best defender) for half the game we had extended patches of being the better team against a flag fancy.

189 pressure rating across an entire game in 26 degree heat on the road is incredibly pleasing.

Also, the scoring shot differential is not reflective of how close the game actually was. GC were definitely the better team on the day but the number of shots they had from outside 50 definitely impacted the accuracy.

 

[Vindicater]

Trac the difference.

And losing Ridley. Hopefully not out for long but knowing Ridley it will be until 2027.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Effort great.
