There was a five goal gale blowing towards the city end of the ground.
Had we capitalised better on it in the first quarter we would have won. Instead we let the Eagles score against the run of play, and at quarter time down, I knew that it would bite us in the backside.
It speaks for how tough we cracked in during the fourth to make it go to the wire.
The incorrect disposal rule I've been banging on about absolutely was rubbish. If you tackle a bloke and he fails to dispose of it with a handball or a kick, it's an incorrect disposal and the ball should be dead, yet the Eagles managed to kick a goal after a teamate was tackled and failed to get boot to ball.
Despicable in the context of how tight this match was.
