[pew2]

This is y would should not recruit coniglio we need about 3 ball movers / carriers today’s game demonstrates this forget the 4 goal losing margin

5 marks inside 50. That stat really irks me. You won't win many with that figure. Combination of outstanding WC defence and F50 entries not to advantage. Oh well.

Tall forwards got sucked up the ground too much, meant nothing to kick to when we had it. One thing we've done well recently is keep our tall forwards deeper.

Is this the post WCE game thread?  Hope so.

I must have been watching a different game to most. I thought we stuck up the joint. Ill-disciplined, soft, selfish, and totally lacking in composure. Sure, they are the reigning premiers and we had Jones out which totally upset the balance but I still expected better.

What the f&ck is the deal with a CFC player being closest to the ball but then being beaten to it by an opponent? They're the Eagles ffs, not the Harlem Globetrotters. Just grab the ball dammit.

When I heard that we would be without Jones and Daisy, replaced by Goddard and Schumacher, I was expecting a belting around th sixty points mark. To get within 24 points was really good as in the past we have dropped our heads and been thumped. 

I was pleasant surprised by Schumacher.  He made some mistakes but showed enough for the future.

Does anyone know what has happened to McGovern?  I expected him to line up for the Northern Blues.  Surely he can't be that unfit not to get a game with them - or is there some other problem we are not being told about?

Our forwards were in the F50 plenty of the time. The kicks simply kept getting intercepted by WC, mostly by McGovern. We had 48 I50's, and the ball just ended up in the wrong hands.

Teague said in the post match interview that he will be back very soon i.e next week or the one after.

As others have said, there were definitely too many that had nights to forget. I don't think it was a great game by us, but WC have monstered plenty of teams better than what we had out there tonight.

Don’t get sucked in by ‘Ivan’ and his negative comments.

I've had a couple of run ins with Ivan, but I reckon he's alright. It wasn't one of our better recent performances, even taking into account the quality of WC.
