We were slightly off and gave them a start with some stupid turnovers. We make the most of some early momentum in the 3rd we might have got our tail up. Credit to Melbourne they defensively are fantastic. Rather this happen now than in the finals and we have some good ins. Never thought we were too far out of it post quarter time
 
Disappointed but season not over. We will play finals and if we get a good run on anything is possible. Still not sure if Melbourne can win the flag. More likely Geelong....which sucks...would much prefer Port or Melbourne to take it over any of the others.

Not in control at all tonight, to lose by 28pts isn't the worst though. Could have been plenty more and given who we were missing, plenty to learn.
Can't let the form slide too much though.

Roarke, Jack and Keath were solid, English probably our best, while plenty were down.

We have to keep grinding wins out and get ourselves back into gear. And get our workrate back to where it needs to be.

Melbourne look like a team going places. Real tight group.

They used the ball better, worked harder, had a better structure and kicked straighter in front of the big sticks.

Not many positives. We didn’t give up. English played well on his return. Macrae and Naughton battled hard.

Feel bad for Garcia. Terrible way to start your career.

We need a plan for May and Lever. They must be taken down.

Let’s reset, learn some lessons in the cold hard light of day and come back bigger and better.

Goodnight. Be kind.

Stuffing around with the ball all night. Switching it across the field but with the demons running harder across than our players. Very hard to watch.
 
I'm a little concerned by the gulf in work rate between the sides at times, they clearly worked harder and wanted it more than us for most of the night. Maybe just an off night? But it's always worth asking the question, are we not fit enough or was the hunger just not there tonight?
 
We continue to have a wee bit of an issue when we come up against the games elite ruckman.

Did Max Gawn go into the game with Covid? Because nobody seemed to want to go anywhere near him.
