btw, congrats Simmo - officially games ‘losingest’ player. Sad indictment on CFC’s last 20 years. But the T-Train is picking up speed! If you dont look at why we lost the game then we wont win the close ones in the future...its not a cheap shot at players its just getting to the reality of why we lose. It would have been cheap to attack Plowman for allowing Gray to kick the winning goal but Plowman played a great game. Jones played as well as anyone could on the bearded monster but once again people will look for the easy target.
Farrells two goals should not have happened and two senior players who are two of our best have to do better......I know Cripps felt he had to take on the responsibility to punch the ball through but his awareness wasnt good and Simmo probably didnt know much about Farrell but its little things that all group together to let you down.
Levi missed an easy goal......been great all year has Levi but that is a coach killer miss and he just has to kick those ones....

The last two minutes are nail biting. Cunners needed to lower the eyes, Betts, Cripps and one other were options for a set shot.

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... Fairs fair Spanner, but for 45-60 seconds lacking composure at the end, we were in it up to our ears against the league leaders. Yes the loss is unacceptable and hurts, but its a different hurt. At least:
- We Fought back convincingly after a 3goal to zip start by the league leaders
- Yes we missed sitters, they missed more sitters.
- Umps were terrible but we were 45 seconds from winning.

This is where Teague needs to drill the message home and make sure they learn. Next time we are less than a goal in front with 1 min to play, I expect nothing less than a win. If we dont learn from that, we are not progressing.

There was a bit of a tell in the 1st, when Martin ran into F50 with two team-mates 15m out goal side and clear of opponents and ignored them. Martin kicked the long goal, but if he'd missed the media would be tearing him a new one, but lucky for him he didn't!
Put that into context later in the game, when more than once we took low percentage shots at goal ahead of hitting up a short target inside F50. Also several of those long bombs out of D50 to team-mates who were outnumbered 2 or more on 1.
It all shows a bit of panic setting in, harsh critics would claim it was selfish footy.

If he nails the pass to Betts, he's as much of a hero as if he kicked the goal, gotta play the %'s. Perspective.
