It is now over 24 hours since we lost and I can feel that it is time to put in my 2 cents worth.
[1] I have rarely felt so bad about a loss. There was so much anger ... But it doesn't matter. No matter how angry or frustrated I may get, the game is over and we were on the wrong side of it.
[2] For so much of the game there was so much positive. We lose 3 of our best and still come back brilliantly in the last few minutes, only to be beaten by about a second.
So, should I ignore those really good things? I can't and I won't.
[3] Picking up the opponents' best mid makes so much sense to me. They managed to keep Cripps down, but certainly not out, by means fair and foul. Keeping O'Meara down to 20 touches and we win easily.
[4] With Cripps 'controlled', things boded poorly, and yet our midfield worked really well. Our clearance work was brilliant. It would have been even better had Kreuzer not tired. He was brilliant in the first quarter and gave McEvoy a bath. By the end McEvoy was a big reason in their comeback. That wouldn't have happened with a fully fit Kreuzer. But only having the one ruckman only works when he can see out the whole game.
[5] Our mids were really solid for so much of the game, but when they slowed down so many others also fell out of the game. Jack was brilliant in the first half, but didn't get any opportunities after half time. Cunners was the same.
