Not in finals. I think Geelong will go back to back anyway.

OMG settle down
The game was lost in other areas like 9 missed set shots, getting smashed in contested possession, and allowing Melb to get 4 goals up in several occasions
The game is not won or lost in the last couple of minutes
The game is won or lost over the 4 qtrs of footy

I've tried to find a malcolm blight quote where he's talking about turning around a bad team and it goes something likeWe now have a pattern of honourable losses, we seem to have lost several games by under two goals
Nicks keeps saying it’s a hard lesson
But where are we seeing the team are learning these lessons
I never expected us to play finals in 2023, but it has been a season of missed chances, and moving into 2024 we need to turn these honourable losses into wins

I noticed at least 2 crucial handballs in a chain that got us out of trouble. He also flew the flag.. I think it was Nank.. who got tackled and Melb player kept roughing him up while still on the ground. Crouch made it clear FAandFO.I’m still not happy with how Crouch plays
22 touches but 15 of them handballs does not float my boat, and goes against the profile of a good and impactful AFL mid
Harry got better as the game went, but seems to start most games slowly which is frustrating

put him on ice now, look after the hammyRankine needs to play in the middle more, absolutely wasting him for most of the year. The dude is a rare breed.
We need Pedlar and Rachelle to have massive off seasons and move into the midfield, and we need to find another established midfielder through a trade or FA
It will be great to draft a gun mid in next year but we need impact next year

I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.Young teams commonly go through this for a couple of seasons.
That's no guarantee of what's to come but it happens.
Hopefully stokes the fire a bit too.
Don't talk common sense. It doesn't support the sack Nick's, sky is falling regime.I've tried to find a malcolm blight quote where he's talking about turning around a bad team and it goes something like
"first you've got to start playing close games, then you start winning close games" (and presumably from there you start winning most of your games and or by large margins).
Im confident we're on the up, we have a decent squad of talent and hopefully we've entered the close games phase. The next two phases are a lot more fun though.
He absolutely has something.Silly argument. We have been trusting the kids all year, and he's in particular has been earning trust back after a patch of poor form.
I am glad he's paid it back. Really good game from him.

I still think there's a player in Gollant somewhereGood sanfl player but gets smashed against bigger afl bodies
Let’s be honest eagles at sanfl level is a middle of the road team

You have no rational argument why he's a bad coach....Hopefully that fire spreads to Nicks' contract and it burns up and we get a competent coach.
I'm just worried about losing the WCEHappy to lose every game from here. Play the kids
I agree but he had a really good game ... very slow but I have to give him due credit.Sloane needs to announce his retirement asap.
I think so too.I still think there's a player in Gollant somewhere
It's frustrating of course because we feel right on the edge of the cliff of breaking through for these type of wins but you don't need to compare hard to see the improvements that have come. And the group is still so young and experience is being created as we go.Don't talk common sense. It doesn't support the sack Nick's, sky is falling regime.
I remember blight saying something like this. Percentage is a good indicator of improvement
You have no rational argument why he's a bad coach....
He took us through the effed up COVID sanctions. 2 years of media flogging us over the camp despite us already sacking everyone involved. Our team has a coherent game plan. He's put 30 games into Rachelle and Soligo. 17 into MM and Pedlar after his injury. Murray.... And he's overseen contract extensions to all our young talent. We have traded in 2 A graders under his watch. Our team.had grown significantly under him... our forward system is in the top 6 in the comp.... compared to last year, that's massive.
But yes he's s**t because he's too smiley in pressers.....

Its a bad take?
We lost by 4 points. FOG had 9 touches and 1.2 all whilst being defended by Tomlinson (an absolute hack).
All week - the only thing I heard is that it was poor ball use that cost us wins. All of our other forwards suffered just as much.
Walker had 4.0 Rankine had 3.3. Fog had 1.2 and 9 touches - What cost us the game??
Southerntakeover - if ball movement and all of your excuses are so bad - how can Rankine and Walker combine for 7 goals and Fog for 1.
I noticed at least 2 crucial handballs in a chain that got us out of trouble. He also flew the flag.. I think it was Nank.. who got tackled and Melb player kept roughing him up while still on the ground. Crouch made it clear FAandFO.
He had a decent game.

Crouch with 90% DE!Him and Crouch played well today.
You shouldn't be this upset at losing internet arguments.Its 96-92.
Would Himmelberg instead of FOG won us this game?
