Commonsense said this was a 50/50 game at best, and a loss most likely, regardless of the stats we compiled whilst we had our Best 22 available.
Still disappointing though.
Still disappointing though.
Apologies, I’ve had a few.
Yep. Regardless of people's views on umpires tonight, our pressure was off. They took the ball away from D50 and stoppages a little too easily.
Martin and Cotchin 7 goals between them says it all.

O'Connor is a walk-up best 15
Agreed. I wasn't too disappointed with the bottom 7 - besides Parfitt - that the vultures are after as far as deciding this game.
Most notably: Cameron, Holmes, Blicavs, Tuohy, O'Connor, Zuthrie, Bews and Kolo were well down. Hawkins after a bright start as well.
Even still, convert at the same rate as Richmond and that poor performance ends with a win. Sometimes you get those nights.

Parfitt was another loss, so having 14 guys trying to cover the other 8 was a bridge too far.

Smashed them in clearances and in the middle. Our forward line was no good tonight, our backs were poo, and we kicked like poo in front of goal

Phukin umps cost us about 4 goals to Richmond I reckon. Disgraceful. Could have still won if we kicked straight. Only consolation is those flogs will miss finals.

Tuohy was among our best.
Holmes again played well for part of a game, then went missing, which he does too often

It was partly intent but also the wrong team picked (to be fair we had no choice with injuries) too many pressure players out. Martin picks and chooses thesedays and cotchin is even more finished than half our old blokes so that says it all

We played a man down all night with Parfitt out there.
The odd thing is that for the last 1.5 quarters our conversion was really solid. But we'd lost it in general play. So it was too little too late in front of goal. As for the field kicking? I haven't seen experienced ball users panic or miskick that much since 2017.

You're simply wrong about O'Connor, and have been all season

We have this odd thing sometimes where late in games when its gone we free up and are better in front of goal. So some of it might be mental re us missing shots earlier when the game is on the line.
With everyone fit there's no way that's true. And I say that as someone who has praised MOC's form quite highly this year.
Maybe I'm being harsh on Tuohy, but his former self would provide precision kick after precision kick.
Holmes first half was really good and one reason we were on top in general play. He absolutely disappeared for the entire second half.

I'll remind you at the end of the year if you like.
Moc is a trier and i love his effort (top bloke too) but he is fringe best 22 (when we have a fit list which we are way off from) this year ad he was last year.
It like the opposite of what we all thought the strengths and weaknesses would be

It's simply an observed fact on this season's performances
