The low ToG and low disposal productivity of our midfielders not only being unsustainable but the BS spin that it was by design was utter nonsense.

Just not enough from our engine room. Smith will be a welcome addition to a very weak and fragile group, who rely on a 34yo.

Smith is a required but insufficient addition i think. We're still a decent mid short with him in

We were in front with 2 minutes to go. We have 4-5 genuine “inside mids” / contested groundball winners / whatever you want to call them, and a fleet of top-shelf half forwards / outside mids, and the coaches have made that work.

Bailey Smith (and other trades, and improvement from Dempsey/Clark/Knevitt/Clohesy) will make us better but “unsustainable”? We made a prelim in what most people thought was a rebuild year - this post belongs on the Richmond board

We had more inside 50s and would've won the game but for our poor conversion. Watching the game it definitely didn't feel like a flogging in midfield. It was transition where we couldn't stop them.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda.

It didn't hold up.
Football wasn't going to be reinvented with this method.

Name the 3 players to get 30+ in the 2007 GF. Go on. I guess our midfield didn't hold up that day either.

Seriously the focus of stats is the dumbest of dumb footballing analysis. But don't let that stop you taking a victory lap on the grave of our season.
