The amount of uncontested marks we allowed Darling and Kennedy to take in the forward 50 was simply to much.
Kick after kick dropped into their laps.

The circumstances surrounding the Tigers and Dogs premierships were different. Can't compare them.

Well that can happen when the pressure upfield drops off, thought the backs were outstanding with the amount of ball coming into their forward line
Circumstances were different yes, but i’m Saying we have had so many tries to lose so many. They were lucky enough to have one shot and won it.

Gutted. 5 grand finals for me with one win, one draw and three losses.
A year that exceeded my expectations but you just have to seize those opportunities. We might not even make the finals next year!
Great year pies but I’m still heading home home drunk and disappointed.

Couldn’t get a game last year. This year really impressed. Congratulations on a fantastic season for Mayne
They certainly didn’t put the whistle away at ruck contests. There was a large number of frees against us in the ruck
An arrogant selection you say? For this game? After three strong finals performances, selecting Goldsack, who had actually played well in finals, was more (to use your word) arrogant than playing Moore? Who hadn't played in any previous final and couldn't stay on the park for 4 quarters in most of his games this year.
Can't say I follow your logic.
Which is why it’s so confusing that Mayne wasn’t sent to him from the start after the job he did in Perth

Goldsack is clearly undersized and under skilled to play on Kennedy. Everyone and their Grandma can see that. The arrogance is to go in with that matchup knowing this, and assuming you'll just cover for that against arguably the best forward combo in the comp.
Moore on Kennedy.
Goldsack on Darling.
Simple.
To think we would just manage with Goldsack on Kennedy and cover elsewhere on Darling was foolish and arrogant.
No hate.....Guys, bad luck on the loss. Was a great game and could’ve gone either way. Umpiring was best all season, I think you played into the eagles a little with the big bombs... they out marked you.
Your speed was a little down on last weeks performance, and some of your guns were down too. Cox couldn’t do anything first half which cost you. Needed his marking power early, but late game to his credit he stood up.
DeGoey is an absolute gun, you’ll be up there next year that’s for sure. Looking forward to our next encounter.

Fwiw, early in the game I said to my dad there was a lot of blocking at marking contests by Eagles players not being penalised, didn’t know how crucial that would end up being

I appreciate your perspective, but let's be honest. If the 6 down back today, who had proven themselves to be solid across this finals series, could not hold back the contested marking monsters in West Coasts forward half, then an injury prone Darcy Moore wouldn't have stood a chance.
That was the best we could run against them today and they beat us. Dunn might have made a difference, but there was nobody better than those selected in my opinion.
Yep Westies blocked up Coxies leading space.
Too many talls out of the team sadly, Moore and Reid were physically recovered and fit from their injuries but had zero match practice.
With our lynch pin Dunn out until next year, the cupboard was actually bare. Sadly our mids were beaten on the day and that forced us to play outside of our game plan.

Gee gutted, so proud of the effort and the year though. After quarter time the Eagles were definitely the better side, our defence was so resolute to hold out so long. If only we could have pinched a goal when we had it forward with three mins left. If only if only if only...
