He is amazing isn't he. Not just a great runner and smooth mover but a sublime kick too.

To those bagging the injuries excuse, while I don’t blame it for what transpired (it was all upstairs) you can’t not see how it contributed.

Because of injuries
- Graham, O’Shea, Rowe, Thomas, Wright, Lobbe (who in fairness hasn’t been too bad) are in our 22
- Our recent recruits in Kennedy, Lang, Marchbank and Pickett look severely underdone
- Our captain can barely lay a tackle
- Our best player has to rely on kids or senior players who are underdone or have with serious deficiencies for support in the middle
- We have no @#$%&! defence left!

These factors didn’t cause what we saw, but they sure as shit didn’t help.

We are only five quality mids away from being average.

I feel the exact opposite way.
Cannot wait to see what we bring next year. All the injured ones back plus the new recruits. I expect us to progress way quicker than others might expect.
We will have a fab defence, we already have a hugely promising forward line and obviously we will recruit mid field help.
Bring it on!!
I t doesn't excuse lack of effort and spirit in the last today but it makes me totally want to get to next season.

I agree with that. But we had 22 men Vs 17 for the last 30+ mins and were outscored 7 goals to 1.

Didn’t watch the second half due to my sons footy. Is that for real? .

Just when you think we have already plunged to our lowest depth....

nope, nope.... we got ourselves into this mess......dig up !!

That last quarter was unacceptable. Fancy having more players and still getting belted.

Agree AFL need to give GC and CFC early PPicks. The good teams get quality FAs, the lowly sides need something. I don't understand how the AFL are allowed to get away with the current FA set up. It simply doesn't work. This is supposed to be a professional competition and business. Lowly clubs should look at legal avenues as the FA set up is as crooked as it gets.

Yeah I'll sign up again... and travel interstate to watch them... like I have for the last 25 years... just pointing out the roller coaster of emotions in following this club... come February... "we can only pray"

Hopper, Ward, Kelly, Whitfield, Coniglio, Green and possibly Deledio.
Any of them would be our best or second best midfielder. Some cant even make it into their midfield. We were smashed at ground balls all day.
I thought the coaches did as well as can be expected with both hands tied behind their backs. We were massively outclassed.
I'd suggest maybe 5 of our players would have got a game in their team today. They were awesome and I hope they win the flag. Josh Kelly is an absolute jet.

Not entirely. Sometimes it was 22 to 16.

If only the AFL gave our club a couple of seasons to pick the best talent available in the land. But don't let that get in the way of what we witnessed today ...
