Bigger pre-season and potentially better draft pick are the only upsides to this night. What a disaster.

Yeah, you’re totally right. We had some great luck last year and played great football. This year has been awful luck. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Oh well, at least it was a fairy tale last year.

Dangerfield should consider retiring - probably won' though because he's the captain.

Depends on next week and how far the pick gets pushed out
At least they should have a solid pre season for once hopefully

Our reign has 6 weeks to go.

I don’t know if it’s poor system or laziness, but all season we have SIMPLY REFUSED to close down the short kicks. Teams have moved the ball the length of the ground with ease against us, and tonight is no exception. Meanwhile we insist on guarding worthless space that is too far from the nearest opponent to make a contest. It’s like we dare them to hit their targets thinking they can’t, and they consistently do. It’s like we’ve underestimated our opponents skill level all year. It’s mind boggling.

At the very least need to give up the captaincy, not a leaders arseh*le.

He's been dreadful tonight but only two Cats players have received coaches votes more often this season. He's had no help, has been injured and is now well cooked. Last week was his last bit of juice squeezed out of this season's orange.
We have a midfield brigade being led by two 20 year olds... Who are these guns being held back in the reserves??

Unfortunately we haven’t really got a leader within our ranks.

Hardest part of this isn't that we failed to defend our flag, or that we failed to 'come in hot and be a danger' but that we've exited the race with barely a whimper, or a care it seems.
I get the age, I get the injuries, I get the whims of luck and fortune, but having a fair dinkum crack, being desperate, giving it your all is entirely within your control, and we haven't always exercised them.
That's on us.

Something went our way!
Saints kick goes 5 meters. Ump calls play on. Bowes isn't listening and so just stands there. When he finally DOES tackle Hill it's a weak tackle that lets the arms free. Hill handball gets out. Miers attempts another tackle. Again Saints player gets a handball out.
Typified our night.

Captaincy should be given to Atkins. You don't need to be the best player to be capt, but you need to lead by example and Atkins is probably the best at that in our side
