2017-19 we kicked it long to the bloody shithouse - ie wide to go out of bounds.
2020 - we kicked it bloody long to Charlie.

I vaguely remember something similar happening late in the 2014 PF. 3 or even 4 of our premiums trapped on the sideline hopelessly waving at guys to come off from 100 metres away.
That bit of play highlighted on afl 360 Boak definitely should have given off to Amon. However Dixon had Balta where he wanted him then Ladhams wants to join the party bringing Grimes with him. Finally Vlaustin was first to the crumbs ahead of a jogging Motlop and easily cleared under minimal pressure. All round disappointing.

Watch the last quarter of the Tigers game again and see if you feel that way. Arguably cost us a flag.
Cahn. Jesus we didn't lose because of one player. We killed our own momentum early on by not converting when we should have

We lost because of their clearance dominance and their intercept marking in defence in that last quarter. Toby Nankervis was the biggest reason for both.

Ken and Bassett lost us the flag , our forward movements are trash , players will have bad quarters can't blame lycett for our entire loss, many players had average games , lycett did good but had a bad quarter , butters had a shocker and he was our top 5 player for the year. It happens
You’re not entirely wrong, but when lycett had his opportunity in front of goal he Beatles it whilst Boak and Burton couldn’t. They take their chances we win.
Just like Hartlett after his 50m penalty and Boak not hitting Robbie with a short kick when going I50.
There are others who you can wear more of the blame than Lycett.
I’m not keen to go back and watch but I seem to remember a few shanks that fell straight down Nanks throat and a few midfielders running directly into him and being caught holding the ball. There was a collective culpability to his 4th quater.
Watch the first half of the Tigers game again and witness Ladhams kill forward momentum 4 times by giving away 4 undisciplined free kicks.
We trade scooter and have Ladhams one out against nank? forget a flag we wont even make the top 10.
i don't think Lycett is to blame either - I'd say Lycett, Boak, Wines and Rocky are probably the ones who didn't output enough in the last half.
Ladhams was playing forward while scooter was in the ruck, where was pete providing a target around the ground or inside 50 when they were taking intercept marks and we needed a bail out of a target? How many drop marks did you count? He had 0 marks for the game yes donuts.
It’s hard to single out players as a reason for losing that prelim. It felt like the team as a collective had a pretty bad night, especially in comparison to the QF.
But for me the fact that we dominated the inside 50’s but got literally nothing out of our key forwards hurt us more than anything.

Usually its his first quarters that are poor.
That last quarter against the Tiges was his lowest point at our club.
We reverted to the centralised, shallow bomb into the 50m which was picked off time and again.
We did not lower the eyes in the second half.

I don't want Ladhams leading our ruck next year either. I want Hayes.
We can’t win a premiership relying on all our goals coming from opportunistic, something out nothing, snaps, soccers, out the back, etc.
At some point we need to start getting more of your traditional lead, mark and goal.
For some reason the all Australian Dixon went missing in both finals and Marshall didn’t seem up to the task to fill the void.

He's the best ruck/ Forward in the game. He compliments Lycett massively given he is normally out of gas after 3 quarters and they both offer different styles in the ruck. Both show a bit up forward. Anyone who thinks Nankervis won the battle because he won the last quarter is kidding themselves. We doubled their hitouts. Both our rucks kicked goals in a game where both teams kicked 6 goals. All Ladhams needs to develop into is a mid tier ruckman who can at least halve the battle against the best rucks and he'll be a star with the rest he offers. The guy is a more effective forward/ link man than Todd Marshall is at the moment.

He gave our mids 3/4s of ruck dominance to win the game. He didn't kick the ball to Nankervis in the backline either. Kicked a clutch goal. Some of your blokes have no ******* idea.

Hahahahaha.
Nankervis was voted best on ground mate! He was the difference maker in the last. What a ****ing ridiculous post.
