Yeah Lonergan probably did want to make his physicality felt and show Carazzo that he wasn't gonna have an easy day at the office trying to shut down Stants or Jobe, and that our players would look out for them. I have no doubt he intentionally went hard to show some presence, but what i found wrong was carlton supporters claiming it was a reportable offence. It was a free kick, it was paid, unfortnate things happen and we move on.
You guys will be there in September no doubt and have your fair share of big wins, i just don't think you can be a top 4 or premiership team until you're able to play and cope with that contested hard sort of a contest.
In a free flowing game i have no question you could beat anyone in the comp. You have the best runners and offensive weapons across the half back line and midfield, you just need to tidy up the side of your game when you're not allowed to run as freely.
