He's not the reason why we lost but I just don't see the point of Blicavs playing when he's not in defence or rucking. 10 possessions on the wing is basically a man down. I thought we had moved past hamstringing ourselves a few years ago when we used to play him there. Obviously not. He has clear deficiencies in his game and the club just seems to pretend they don't exist. He's slow and he can't kick, so play him in defence or the ruck where he doesn't have to call on those skills frequently or don't play him at all.

Sidenote: bravo Tim Kelly. As a potential last game for us he stood up when others couldn't. Thanks for your efforts.

Like a massive portion of this board. Gets destroyed in finals year after year, and it’s ignored or excused. He’ll probably get coaches votes.

Start of the year we all would have been happy with a top eight finish
Team has exceeded expectations
Key injuries to a shallow list have hurt
Proud of the boys
Agreed. Wouldn’t say our list is shallow, but it has big holes. The players we lost were in the positions we could least afford to lose a player.

Lack of marking forward options (hawk, rohan) and outside midfielders (duncan, clark). Had we lost a defender or 2 to injury it wouldnt have been anywhere near as costly.
 
Bad luck cats. I feel that was the last big role of the dice and our window is shut. Got lucky to keep our window open so long. Got lucky that the best player in the comp wanted to move back to the surf coast. Got lucky that one of the best players in the comp went unnoticed and signed to us for 2 years. Got lucky that the father /son rule allowed us to get Selwood and Hawkins in the same draft. Well, to quote Metallica “our luck’s run out”. We’ll have no Ablett, Harry or Kelly next year. Might make the 8, but windows closed. The boys did well tonight and Myers is my new favourite.
Hawkins, Duncan, Rohan (not so much) and Clark add those in... &$@& off tim kelly and add some high end draft talent or some trades with those picks..... I think we will have yet another disappointing finals loss in 2020.....

Parfiit is not slow - he does think rather than play. Simpson in the VFL is the same way. Thinks thru what he should do rather than act instinctively.

And then looks slow as a result of it.

But yes.. he got caught because of it. Tigers play on instinct - we play on a plan and under pressure the time to think about the plan is not there and yuo see what you did in the second half

GO Catters

Which idiot is potting Parfitt? Emu were you at game? He was brilliant tonight. Farkin brilliant. Better than a turd like Caddy.smug preg.

Missed Clark tonight, run and carry

Can someone point out the 50 re runs of the thug basher hitting a player above the shoulders behind play

Clark , Duncan , Hawkins would have helped. Does anyone think Rohan would have? The cockatoo I remember would have help but its a fading memory.
We just are not deep enough.. Miers a pick in 50's .. but he is like a few of our guys .. very good potential but also has his issues to work on.
 
I knew the 3rd quarter was going to be super important.
They just went bang at the start of Lynch kicked the first 2.
They did to us what they did Brisbane last week.
They had all the answers in the second half.

Blitz needs to stay back.
Hes so poor by foot.

We might have found a winger in MOC hope he gets a go in that role.

You a
You are f*** kidding surely? We were screwed royally that game by the umps.

Absolutely Seeds. What is it with Nicholls?

They won’t report this but Rich kept whacking Miers in the kidney area. Gosh I hate that football club.

We've relied on Selwood and Danger to drag us over the line too often. They couldn't do it tonight.

For whatever reason, Danger wasn't up to it in the second half. Strange after all his talk of being desperate for a premiership. I can only guess he was badly injured.

Probably planning his costume for Mad Monday. Priorities people.
 
3rd quarter just unacceptable! Had the game and coughed it up so quickly. Woods had us 46-10, eagles + 38 in 2nd & 3rd quarters and tonight bullied after half time. Quite simply not good enough in September again! Scott said it feels different this year! F him!
We lost 11 of our last
15 finals under scott.. do the math!

Should have been much further ahead at 1/2 time, so many shots missed.
Nicholls almost their best, every time a 50/50 decision went their way, that bald headed twit was all over it.
Scott was right, they are not as good as last year, we blew it.
Cmon Collingwood I guess.

I call it the 60-40 rule with the tigers.

The first Lynch goal clearly hands in the back and taking momentum back.

Not the reason we lost either.

Perhaps... I think there would have been a few that would have been happy not to make the 8 after the way we bombed last year. At least this year we played 1 really good final.. and anotehr admirable final.. and the one that mess it all up the first one was dire..

Yep. They kicked the first two, we had Danger forward, Stewart on the bench supposedly and our best defender on the wing.

Parfitt should be quietly shopped he does have youth on his side, but he has no real pace doesn't hit the scoreboard much and has poor awareness he reminds me of a poor version of Caddy when we had him at the club
I think you'll find the 3rd round pick offered for him somewhat unpalatable. Not that he's not worth more than that but if you're pushing a player out you are accepting unders, often bad unders, because the pressure is on us to make the trade. Clubs have to be sniffing first.

There is no way on God's green earth we walk away from so catching like that winners
