Did we put the cue in the rack or did they just have way more to play for ??
Some of the lesser lights were quite poor tonight, in particular Durdin who fumbled badly under pressure.
Was truly hoping to go into the finals on a high, we showed in the first quarter that we were there for the contest but as soon as Curnow got in front on the Coleman we packed up shop.

It was a complete accident. Moved his hand the very moment it went there.

I hope you're right. Losing Wieters would be disastrous.

If we were to play them in the finals we'd flog them unmercifully. Players can do what they want and look great when no one is pressuring them. Wasn't hard to guess we'd only play at around 50% tonight. Even it worse when the other side has so much to play for. Many.a side has been flogged last game and won a flag Dogs for one in 2016.

Sort of glad we aren't playing them.Both are as soft as butter, same with Kelly, in the finals they wont hold up imo...Whitfield threw in the short steps when attempting a mark early and I thought we had more problems with Daniels and Bedford who cut us up with their pace.
With our full crew back we should be able to take care of all the 6-8th place teams imho although as you say Weitering may have a charge to answer but given Greene seemed ok I cant see it being sustained.
Didnt like the Harry ruck stuff either and want Pittonet back in and Harry back to CHF.

There it is folks. Remember teams who have 5 outs rarely win.

We lost the game at the Selection Table:
[1] Not selecting Pittonet was a mistake: I hope it was due to niggles, as he would have been far more effective in the ruck. Tom got his hand on the ball a bit, but had no control over his taps went. GWS smashed us in the centre.
[2] Cerra had the quietest 22 possession game I can remember him playing. He'll be better for the run. Our best mid was possibly George Hewett, but he had 1 clearance. Dow was our best clearance option, with 8, from 21 possessions; not his best game, but he got most of our clearances.
[3] H needs the run. He was ordinary, and his decision making at times is terrible.
[4] Jack Martin was well beaten for the first time in ages. He struggled to make an impact. Cotters was quiet. Cuningham played his worst game since his return, fumbling and missing targets. Ollie Hollands also had one of his worst games. He was robbed of that goal!
[5] Marchbank was good when he came on.
[6] Weitering was probably our most effective player. He dominated Hogan, even with the ball coming down as it was.
[7] I must mention the umpiring. In the first half it was diabolical. Tackles were not rewarded, leading directly to GWS goals. As to the holding our our key forwards ... I'm just not going there.

Harry not impacting the scoreboard when Charlie is held is a big issue that needs to be addressed.
