% would have saved us even if Gibbs kicked a point. Still a draw was the 2nd best outcome.

POSITIVE - As hollow a feeling it is when it's a draw, I'd prefer it to a loss.
What's wrong with Goddards goal kicking? was a reliable set shot you.

One thing is clear, once activated, our beast mode is lethal. To bad it gets deactivated shortly after.
That charge we did to get 30 points up was lethal if we string that for 4qrts North will be no chance.
It did save us having to sweat the result tho, not sure my heart could have taken it.

Was awesome to watch. Similar to the 2nd qtr against West Coast in 2012.

I wasn't going to be surprised either way on the result today. and to be honest a draw is probably the best thing for our players mentally going into next week.
A win would give them too much confidence and a loss may take too much away.
Although im not sure what needs to happen to some of these players to make them show up for 4 quarters every week. Maybe if they lose a close final that will drive them to want to win every game!
We are a big chance next week, 2 totally even teams.

Lack of a third tall defender hurt us. Ryder fantastic, just zero mistakes, just gone to another level this year. Colyer in the second was brilliant. North are as inconsistent as we are, we're a big chance next week.
Also Boomer not playing is a bonus sick of him tearing us a new one.
Hibberd can cover Watson every day of the week if his mind is on the job...paid him no respect and was served four goals in return.
I read nothing into next week from this game.Pretty much the whole team went at 50% ,clearly saving themselves for next week - not my preferred methodology but we'll see next week how smart an approach it was.
I imagine we'll be at least competitive and will be unsurprised if we win. All year,for better or worse, we've played to the level of our opposition - against top 8 sides we've either beaten them or been in a position to win every game barring the first game with Sydney.

31 points up midway through the 3rd quarter. 10 of the previous 11 goals under our belt. Depleted bottom 6 opposition with nothing to play for. It's harder to lose the momentum than keep it at that point.
Our inability to close out teams is mind blowing. We've had, what, 3 comfortable wins all year? Good teams can clinically put away inferior opposition. We're not very good unfortunately.
Thankfully North are pretty average themselves.

Hawks a good example last night.

We've given ourselves a final in Melbourne.
Carlton didn't win.
It could be worse.

A draw is a win, five times since they've beat us plus final in Melbourne = suck s**t carlfilth.
How many times did we see a Carlton player get their hands free and dish a hand ball in close frustrating.

Also, Judd threw it about half a dozen times. One free.
There is a shocking virus doing the rounds at the moment. I've been housebound for 4 days. Bomber said there was a virus going through the club and Myers pulled out. If it wasn't a factor this week i sure as hell hope it's not next week because this lurgy is lingering.
Can't believe he didn't make the distance. Thumped one through the posts off one step early in the 2nd quarter.
Must have been rooted. Heppel got the better of him late.

Oh I pretty much pencilled it in, and from where I was sitting it looked straight as well. Might have got too close to winderlich on the mark as well
We should have killed the game in the 3rd quarter, but we were very lucky to somehow get away with that
I had penciled in Sheehan's kick. Beautiful kick he is.
