So many what ifs....
'IF' Had our first choice backline and Rankine up forward...... Probably win that.
M Crouch, sorry mate I was wrong.

Incredibly boring to hear the same tripe over and over.
Good performance
Bad goalkicking
Ugly umpiring

So sick of losing like this. Dominate general play, be on the cusp of an upset away win, but come up short, mostly due to silly errors and, most of all, goalkicking.
Performed well overall and should have won, with Brisbane's mature class getting it done when they had momentum. Rankine would've been handy.
Key players couldn't kick clutch goals - again. Laird arguably cost us the match.
Midfield setups and execution were rank at times but hey, that's what we selected.
Probably relying too much on favourable results now to snag 8th. A season of "what could've been" but we're not ready yet. Finals should definitely be played next year, and if we actually address our midfield issues we could build beyond that.
It feels utterly gross that teams like St Kilda and Essendon are above us with two to go, but here we are.

2.5 in the last quarter. Had plenty of the ball but couldn’t capitalise in front of goal. Laird with 2 misses in the last could have sealed the game as a senior player.
Sick of losing those type of games.
A lot of good, but lack of quality at the end cost us.
As a senior player, Laird need to nail those free kicks on goal.

Some poor decisions by the coaching team - having Sloane in the mid most game, subbing Borlase as a tall I thought was strange.
good effort overall

I’m glad we fight to the death, but it’s so demoralising losing by under a goal to the Pies, Dees and Lions.

Really dealing with the nub of what happened.
It's the fans who are wrong. Glorious win really.
We will win some of these games next year. Did anyone have us even contending with top 4 teams away from home in 2023?

The leader of the bunch.
Gutted. Haven't felt like that after a loss for a while.
There is so much to like but also so much frustrating s**t.
Do something about the midfield FFS. Even Laird is starting to look past the peak of his powers.

We don't though.
When the actual game's there to be win, when we have clutch shots, we constantly fail to take responsibility to execute.
The club's culture of congratulating the players on getting near enough produces this. It's not a coincidence.
How is he wrong?
A lot to like, but * me that was frustrating. Lions literally clinging on for dear life and we couldb't put the stake through them./
