No it didn't. Gibcus on Buddy worked for 2 and a half quarters as buddy couldn't get near it. What hurt was the silly free kicks that gave momentum and the easy clearances after goals. Had we been able to control the game like we did in the second and parts of the 4th, Buddy got nowhere near it.
Gibcus on Buddy was not why it was lost.
Are you kidding me he kicked 4 on him (2 early in the last when the game was on the line). Gibcus didn't take big marks over buddy, gibcus didn't punch balls out of his hands repeatedly. Buddy out marked him and gibcus panicked holding him too. Thats why we lost along with undisciplined acts by nank and grimes plus gibcus, also turned it over in the last not hitting the target with rioli slipping over and Swan's goal. I am calling it like i see it and that's the way it went down. Dimma makes the call to put grimes on him midway in the last, too late.
