Enjoy the game, those who see it. Hopefully we can show the same spirit we showed late last week.

The best team lost

Not a lot to complain about. We pushed another top 4 team to the max, umpires didn't decide the game, our young guys showed a bit again, older guys led like leaders should, we went clearance for clearance against the best in the business. Plus with an ounce of luck and pinch of class, we could have won!!

Charlie Curnow's injury probably cost us the game, that and a lack of polish.
We never lose our self belief these days which is our biggest improvement this season, but we are still four or five skilled players short of a good side.
I was proud of our team today, they really had no right getting that close.

We missed Charlie in the last. The Swans defenders could double and triple team Casboult knowing that there wasn't another marking option. I reckon that contributed to some of the long kicks at goal; there weren't many other options.
I just had a quick look at the team stats and they are remarkably close. A draw would have been a fitting result.

Just roared down the highway from Mackay to Rockhampton towing the van to get to a c.park that was the only one with a site available, planning to find a club/pyb with Foxtel but as I set up I hear the game being played. The bloke in the next site is a Swans supporter so left the setting up to the missus and joined him watching his computer screen. Could not believe my luck. The Blues going well and the bloke is very convivial, gets to 8 minutes to go and the computer battery runs out - end of show and the start of a new show as he pays out on his wife for flattening the battery reading a book earlier on. I crept away. Thanks for the final score.

Charlie Curnow: so near, yet so far. Didn't get many disposals, but he ALMOST got heaps. That little extra experience and strength, and who knows?
Dylan Buckley: how can a guy who has been in the system as long as he has still run out of juice at half time? I know I've said it before, but he was really good early. yet he finished with a handful of possessions. It p*sses me off big time, because he looked seriously dangerous in the first half.
Jack Silvagni was pretty quiet today. He didn't appear to get much room or many opportunities. He will learn from it.

Fantastic signs of belief, confidence, tenacity, and undying effort. Don't have the polish to score (yet). Like last week, can't fault their system or endeavor.
Giving two of the big boys a good shake consecutive weeks is a win for mine.
Not sure how today's result compares with the last couple against Sydney, but I'm guessing there's little to compare. Looks lime the crêpe of yesterday is dead and gone ;D
Go Blues

I'll make a big call.... If Charlie had of played the game out we would have won. At least he has a clue how to play forward and has a bit of the x factor needed to win those type of game.
