Roast Sack Horse

The thing is that we got to the top of H&A by relying on other teams mistakes.

This works great until it doesn't.

Need to be able to win it on our own and not rely on opposition turnovers.

Why the **** is his go to move always Campbell as sub. Regardless of form

Very very true. He doesn't do it as much anymore but I hated Longmire's strategy of "absorbing pressure" where he would allow inside 50 after inside 50 into our defence, banking on us being able to stop it and then launch an attack eventually. It worked fine against the lesser teams but doing that against the top teams with powerful midfields and forward lines was just asking for trouble.

Yeah lets not make the same mistake Port made with Hinkley lol

We already did 8 years ago

With all due respect, I think the problem is the list and the SCG. Your best 22 has incredibly high end talent but after those best 8 or 9, it drops off compared to, in this case, Brisbane's best 22. On the shorter SCG, your dynamic high end midfield talent is very dangerous. Other teams get stifled on the small ground.

I could spend the time going through the list, but this is an admittedly subjective opinion, so feel free to correct me if you think I am wrong. One that sticks out is Logan McDonald - I mean, he kicked 37 goals and 24 behinds in 26 games this season, which is not a disaster, but he doesn't seem to be able to do it when it matters. Today he was obviously injured. Still. Amartey is a rung below. The Lizard just doesn't get enough of the pill. You need him to have 15 rebound possessions a game that includes 8-10 >50m runs and deliveries onto the wing or half forward, not the 2 or 3 we have seen in the finals this year.

Heeney's flare up aside, the rest of your guns underfired today, and your talls lost the aerial battle unlike against Port in the Prelim, where they were arguably the difference throughout the middle part of that game.

Chin up, at least you're always up in contention and indeed will be again next year. Rampe spoke well.
