I would rather a 2 point loss than a 30 point loss. A close loss meant that we fought the game out to the final siren.

We were already missing some of our top players then lost more before half time and played out the second half short rotations and eventually lost by 2 points against the form team in the comp. It's not panic stations.

Hipwood was on fire yesterday.
This will be defined as a football act. However I didn’t you could put boots into the back after Tom Greene was pulled up on this action a few years ago.
They're not our big three IMO.For all the Hype around the league about the big 3 in heeney warner and errol, at least one of these close losses should have been turned around by one of them making a big play.
It's all well and good chasing 1 million plus deals, at some stage you have to be the difference in turning a loss to a win
None of our big 3 (Mills, Rowy & Sheldrick) played yesterday.They're not our big three IMO.
Plenty of people bagging him, personally I had him as one of our best! Gave us plenty of drive, and it's always hard to tell on TV what he's kicking to, suspect the Lions covered our options well.Can't handle the negativity so I haven't read the thread, so forgive me if this has been said already, but gee Ollie was poor yesterday. He and Blakey seemed to make poor decision after poor decision.
Spot on. Both have been off for weeks. Blakey’s ordinary form and crucial errors gets glossed over because he has the odd dash through the middle hitting up a forward which always looks great. He needs to cut out that stupid decision making and start hitting those kicks into the corridor with some purpose. He is pulling the trigger hoping he hits a target rather than disposing in a manner that believes he is going to hitch it. He is arguably our most important player as he can turn desperate defensive play into scintillating ball movement in the blink of an eye. Like it or loathe it He is our Tom Brady.Can't handle the negativity so I haven't read the thread, so forgive me if this has been said already, but gee Ollie was poor yesterday. He and Blakey seemed to make poor decision after poor decision.
Yeah yesterday just confirmed to me they are the ultimate pretenders.Would still like Brisbane in a final at home or the MCG
Errol’s second quarter was sensational. He was involved in so many of those quick scores.Errol and Blakey have been down for a while now. It was unrealistic to expect them to be able to maintain that high standard for an entire season.
More confident now than I was prior to us losing to them, for some bizarre reason.Would still like Brisbane in a final at home or the MCG
Me too. The teams with two or more reeeeally tall forwards are the ones that worry me the most but Melican and McCartin coped admirably yesterday even without the guidance of Rampe for half the game. Even those three early goals from Daniher weren’t from being out marked where it mattered. (Or not all were.)More confident now than I was prior to us losing to them, for some bizarre reason.
