Difference was that Suns were spent in the last qtr. The fact is that travelling is catching up with us and WB had an extra day off. I am actually happy with the effort. I hope that Weller's bashers noticed his best so far performance

Disappointed to lose after getting that close but wasn’t expecting a win anyway. We are so up against it when playing down south that unless the opposition team is incredibly s**t (eg Carlton) and/or out of form (eg Carlton), we won’t win. The constant travel, foreign conditions, crowd, umpiring, our injuries / inexperience, even the commentary (I was listening to SEN and whenever the Dogs got the ball the volume / excitement level went up threefold. They were so condescending towards us with comments like “Gee the Suns seem to be playing well” like it was a surprise, I had to turn it off and rely on BF posts instead).
Until we are able to get these factors on an even keel or to our advantage we’ll always be up against it.
Good to hear Crossley have a promising debut and both debutants kick goals.

Need a midfield.
Rischitelli with a stellar eleven disposals and more impact than Barlow and/or Brodie have to offer

Everyone looked utterly spent in the 4th quarter. Hammered out of the midfield. No doubt the travel is kicking in now. We are carrying guys when we don't need to. Scheer should never have played. Get Brodie in. A genuine contested mid who isn't fried from all the travel.
If we have May in we win that game.
Our midfield needs more talent.
That was our last winnable game for a long long while. That loss hurts.
Holman no good. Spence no good. Scheer no good.
Thank heavens for Jack Martin. Ah Chee too.
Strap yourselves in for a rough month ahead.

If people think Dew isn't playing favourites, the omission of Barlow and retention of Holman and Young says otherwise

Iv been thinking that Dew has the following in mind...
Play the likes of Holman, Young, Rosa, Rischa ect... early on in the season during all the travel. These are hardened bodies that can handle it better than the younger guys. After the break and once we have our home ground back we can start getting more young guys in and give it a good shake to finish the year off.
Also these older guys who might not be best 22, allow us to not rush young guys back in. This is something we havnt done very well over the years.

Barlow didn't play any footy this weekend. But your point stands on someone like Brodie.

Sam Day plays his best footy as a defender. He’s not a forward. Need 2MP playing along side Crossley (The Future). If May still hurt put Day in but if not NEAFL. Trade Lynch for more talent. Done

I thought Spencer played alright half time
Yep once the conversion is complete Toby Maclean doesn’t get up and we win the game.
Didn't you listen to Dew - he doesn't need touches, he hasn't had a goal scored on him all year

Thought Rischa was alright today tbh.
Honest question. Where does Sexton sit in this team? A well established body but doesn't often go beyond a dozen or so touches and maybe chips in for a goal.
I wonder if a player near enough to 100 games should be giving more in games like this one. No impact.

Gutted to lose but as other have said we were spent in the fourth. They battled hard.
We really lack a midfield gun to help Swallow and Lyons. Miller is great but he doesn't provide a point of difference from the other two. Could see Brodie coming in next week.
Goober Crossley made the game enjoyable regardless. He really did well for an 18yo. Adept forward or ruck which is rare on its own coupled with Mumford like battering ram style play. Will have a big future.

Give him Weller's ambassador cash - I prefer cult figures over pretty boys
Brodie has the potential to be that midfield gun (I.e Josh Kennedy from Sydney) but they won’t play him. He’s the future of this club, get him in!
We can make all the excuses we want about travel and injury but the glaring truth is we are a soft club, we needed gut running when the game was up for grabs and yet again we’re found wanting.
I’m off to Europe for 6 weeks in June - July and was originally disappointed I would miss such a large part of the season now I wish I was going for longer.

and as others have mentioned his Mum is easy on the eye
Thought your mob played well, any other deck and you win that game.
The AFL have really ****ed you with travel, it’s not good and hopefully in future seasons this doesn’t occur.
