Have we consistently been amongst the absolute youngest and most inexperienced teams throughout Nicks' tenure?The irony of Nicks policy of experience over youth, our younger guys are far more likely to win us games.

Watching it again, Bond put hand on Merrett for contact to feel his position, but was ball watching and Merrett used that split second to peel past Bond and into the open space.I'll cut the team some slack for that. Bond and Taylor were in that centre bounce. Merrett towelled up Bond
I don't completely blame the umpires. The AFL has tinkered with the interpretation and right now it's broken.Not just you. I would have thrown my mouth guard at those umpires.
Firstly, I loved the win vs GWS (on the back of that brilliant 7-goal second quarterI also don’t think Nicks coached the team to be defensive last night
I blame some of them as clearly biased.I don't completely blame the umpires. The AFL has tinkered with the interpretation and right now it's broken.
Losing at home to Richmond.If someone at the beginning of the season told me we would win against both Essendon & Carlton at Marvel, beat GWS at home and win at least one showdown then I would have thought we would be a sure thing for finals..
Well it's not his leadership when the game was on the line.Murphy only 7 x pressure acts in 113 minutes of game time - thought that was his one wood?
Murphy would fumble the EFTPOS machine...Checkout guy at Crowmania.
Apart from early in the game & when the umpires took over in the 3rd, we had control of the gameBeen watching the replay and in the last 5 minutes of the game we absolutely destroyed Essendon
They could not get near it outside of one centre clearance at the end.
Just repeat inside 50 after repeat inside 50 and to be honest we could have kicked even more goals
I would have loved one of our guys after the game pretending a kick for goal then watching as the ball skewed at a right angleGood - fantastic victory for the good guys.
Bad - disappointing your boys had to much class to replicate the post match Draper lay on the ground with arms outstretched.
I thought Laird was pretty good last nightWent game last night how good it to play with roof over as was bl--0dy cold wind outside and allowed a fast flowing game ,rather than a slog like last week.
Good
Obviously Keays and Fog. and all been said , except to point how strong Fog grabs the mark and how poorly EH doesn't and Tillthorpe in 2 nd half though should have had couple of frees.
All our kids that had to wait for injuries to get in team did their bit plus.
Berry showed he can actually get clear and deliver rather than Laird like bang it on the boot.
Hinge was huge in keeping backlines together with injuries and creating run out and damaging kicks.
Our seats where Crows come out and where kicked a lot of our goals from including right behind Fogs 50 metre goal.
Milera and Rankine sitting just across enjoyed game especially that burst in 2nd qtr .
Isaac never hesitated when 2 kids asked if could have photo with him.
The number of Crowes supporters was massive as probably saw after game lined up on fences .
Bad
Smith,Keane and Laird and some of Rachelles efforts .
Umpiring
Ugly
The cringeworthy goal celebration of a couple of Bombers players.
Disappointed in Merrett who is a star looking for and pleading every type of free kick.
Injuries and possible suspensions and watching knob Stringer play although loved stuff up which could have won the game
Funny how sometimes they will blow the whistle immediately to claim it was held or no prior, and others times they will leave it a fraction longer so they can claim they had an opportunity.Just watching the last 1/4. Keay handballs to Laird who is tackled instantly, and umpire No4 calls it HTB almost in a split second of him receiving it. wtf
It was crazy especially as Essendon got away with plenty worse in the last.Just watching the last 1/4. Keay handballs to Laird who is tackled instantly, and umpire No4 calls it HTB almost in a split second of him receiving it. wtf
Could also equally say that both were rushed shots at goal due to our good pressure and we had setup well behind the ball to ensure they went through for rushed behinds. No team gets everything perfect in a close finish, even the teams that win.Another ugly:
Rachele scores, 52 seconds on the clock.
1. We let Merrett waltz out of the centre square unopposed
2. They have spare men at the fall of the ball
3. We are fortunate enough to rush the behind and have possession. 30 odd left on the clock.
4. We go long.
WHY? Find a kick in the pocket. Make that option. Kill time!
5. They win back possession.
6. We are fortunate to rush through another behind. 15 odd seconds left.
7. We go long.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????
We've seen from our numerous close games this year and last that that is our game plan in that situation. Nobody tries to make the short option. Drives me bonkers. Nearly cost us the Carlton game and nearly cost us last night.
I understand the want to clear the area ASAP, but our poor contested marking as a team means it very often comes straight back in. We need to work on that.
Zero prior, both arms pinned. Htb. Lol
Happy they were given such a crucial centre clearance though, plenty to learn from that for Bond and TaylorWatching it again, Bond put hand on Merrett for contact to feel his position, but was ball watching and Merrett used that split second to peel past Bond and into the open space.
