Embarrassing IMO, is what we were dishing up last year. Tonight is no comparison, we were sound (given our stocks and our rebuild status). Can't fault the effort of the majority at least. A few were definitely off their game, but you get that after 6 day break coming up against an unbeaten side buying for a flag.
Realistically, once Kruez was out, I don't think it mattered who rucked. That said, if Wood is fit and could offer what he did last year. He probably Wood have made Goldy work a bit harder rucking, lessening his opportunities around the ground. We were never going to be competitive against AA Goldy. Great learning opportunity for Gorringe. He certainly had a crack and his goal was a pearler... The coaches will also have some insight into his development needs.
Go Blues

Agree. We were pretty flat tonight against an unbeaten team. Looked like a bit of a hangover from last week's game and not entirely unexpected.

As a developing group with injuries, I thought we did... Pfffft FREE KICK NORTH MELBOURNE. :o

I think the commentators said that our defence averages about 30-40 games experience and their forward line averages about 180. Team chemistry takes years and we have a great defensive base for the next decade.

Well, I take it we won't have a thread about making the finals this week.
When reality hits it can hit with a thud.
Last season we would have lost that game by 100+ points, so things have improved, which is what we all want.
They are the top side in the league, we finished bottom last year.
We have improved.
By the way, this blaming umpires every time we get beaten is cr@p.
When we aren't first to the ball we will always be behind in the frees. Ask Port Adelaide about last week.
None of us likes to get beaten but I'm not too upset given the circumstances.

Bolts stated the match was won and lost in the midfield (in his presser).
