You do, but wasn't it only a minute earlier(?) where Gray could've had a shot but gave 1 extra handball and the shot was missed from 4m out?
You'd think that was playing the %'s too.
Sometimes you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
When the adrenaline is going....the brain is usually not.

In fairness to Cunningham, he was probably only 0.5m from kicking it and he's a hero. In any case the problem wasn't that kick although it's easy to identify as a moment, there were many problems right through the game relating to ball use and decision making. Hopefully we've got all the bad old stuff out of our system in one game!
There was a lot of good today as well, it was a tough game, North being smashed pretty much had a holiday and will be fresh.

Swap our team just for last 90 secs with WC or Coll or Geel or Rich or Bris and they walk away with the points. They hold onto the ball from when Gibbons had it. Time was their enemy kicking to a pack is just dumb - it gives them a chance to win the ball back and without a very dominant pack marker or massive numbers it leaves the door open
We are youngish but we also have a more then few out their today that have played a lot of footy and you would think at times like that they would take control. Wasn’t to be.
Hopefully we learn from it.

We have a lot of upside and finally and I will say it again finally the kids are starting to be able to influence games and we no longer need to rely on the usual blokes to play blinders.
Walsh, setterfield, Gibbons, Williamson, Cunningham, Harry (I’m sure I’ve missed some) all have a lot of improvement in them and are not in their prime.
I’m a lot more optimistic about the next few years then I anticipated. A still have midfield and small forward holes but fill them and we have a list that will compete at the pointy end for many years.
I’m disappointed with not getting the 4 points but not disappointed with what I witnessed today.
We are no longer the whipping boys we are at least competitive every week and when we all click the kids and our older blokes I reckon we will be a big worry to any team that faces us.

Good read. Not sure I agree with Cuningham in that group, though. But the others are definitely showing strong growth/improvement. Cuningham has all the talent in the world but his focus/concentration goes awol too often.

You've got to be in it to learn it, and until now we haven't been in it enough to learn it,

Precisely. Tough Post mortem I hope

At one stage, we dominated play for 10 to 15 minutes and didn't score, a flashback moment.
I think that is a bigger problem.

The same knob finds a way to miss kicking a goal from 10 metres out and changing the momentum of the game. This isn't the first time he's done it either so don't go defending him. Casboult is a serial offender on this front.
It's always the same senior players screwing it up. If it's not Murphy or Plowman, never fear Casboult will make sure the cock up trio will manage to change the whole complexion of the game with a monumental screw up. So screwing predictable.
All you guys talking about improvement are kidding yourself. This is the same crap the club's been delivering for 20 years. screwing sick of it...
The beauty of this forum is that we can all give our opinions, no matter how extreme they may seem. I prefer to be ‘glass half full’ and I think that there is evidence to support me, others may very well prefer to be unfulfilled and miserable and that is their prerogative.

I know Rozee was off for 10 mins before half time, but whoever was on him needs some praise. The Power Golden Boy was kept to 8 possessions. If it was SPS then he’s done 2 mighty jobs in 2 weeks.
