The King!
Chosen One
goals came from a lot of active pack situations and moments which is fine and all. But so many wasted set shots

He also uses the ball well. Hope his body holds up.
Heeney was shocking and nice again when it matters
Literally only plays well against us too!! Is usually anonymous in other games, we got done by their B graders in the game, Acres, Cottrell, Martin!!Can we trade for Cottrell, seems to be a superstar against us
Gulden the only one really trying to make something out of nothing going forward, which sums up the season.I would just once like to say ahh well we lost that final but (insert someone in the leadership group) did their best to pull us over the line.
Instead it's just ahh well we lost that final and our leaders were non-factors.
So frustrating.
I mean injuries to key positional players all season, if that doesn't happen probably finish higher.i mean north interchange crows goal etc probably finish 12th
Disappointed overall still
especially when it's guys like Papley Heeney parker (good forward second half last night) being so patchy
Last night's game just sorta crystalized everything I think I already knew about us and have been saying for a long time.
That McLean is legit. He just churned out breakout game after breakout game in the second half of this year, proving it's no fluke, and last night's was the best of the lot.
That McCartin can be an elite, match-winnning/saving defender. If we perform better up the ground and get the W, then one of the major talking points out of this game is McCartin doing a number on the Coleman Medallist.
That we really do need Mills & Rowbottom firing. I highlighted these two as players we needed to have big games (and big years, going all the way back to pre-season.) They got less contested possessions combined than any of Cripps, Hewett & Walsh. One was tagging, the other didn't look right from the get go.
That Gulden really is the kind of cool customer who doesn't see the game in moments of importance or pressure. It's all the same to him. Six goals up in a dead rubber or five goals down in a must-win final, his level of application and intensity doesn't waver.
That Parker can be a very dangerous forward, but I won't open that can of worms.
That you can generate more scoring shots in a game than your opponents but still be the inferior team. All year we have had no problem generating our fair share of shots at goal, but too many of them feel individual-based. Individuals just pulling brilliant things out of their arse to give us a chance and keep us in games. They haven't felt system-based enough for me and it's why we fail to turn our goals into genuine, sustained momentum.
And on a slightly more sour note, once again I'm left lamenting a leadership void in a final. We just don't get enough of a return from our senior core in these games, over and over. Heeney dropping an absolute sitter in the middle of the ground, Parker missing tackles, Lloyd & Rampe spraying kicks, Papley making dumb decisions. It all adds up.
Onto next year.
Been tried. Didn't work.I'm tempted to put amartey back in the off season. He's a strong mark but he's not a natural forward.
Cheers mate, important to stay hydrated while watching the game.Caesar i hope you have recovered mate was looking forward to your thoughts.
Spot on. More could be added but that's pretty damned right.Last night's game just sorta crystalized everything I think I already knew about us and have been saying for a long time.
