Felt like we were going to steal it for a fleeting moment when SPS got that dinky kick to Gibbo, but then bad decision to kick down the line and then lack of effort cost us. Still we took it up to them. Would be nice to steal one once in a while. God knows plenty of sides do it to us. Everyone looked out on their feet.
I'd give blokes like Murphy a miss next week and write it off as "managed". Plenty of kids to choose from. Time to experiment.
Can't say I was bitterly disappointed. Didn't think we'd win and Port had a few chances at the end to ice the game. Sort of thing we'd do and unlike Port we'd ultimately lose it. For the main part our blokes showed a bit but couldn't make the most of our opportunities in forward 50.
One thing I will say though, after that effort if we come out next week and played like a pack of girls against North I'll do a Terry Wallace.
I'm bitterly disappointed but not for the same reason I've been previously disappointed. Taking it up to the best side will make me pleased, just not right now. It would've been such a vital win for our chances as it's obvious we are good enough now. That's where I'm bitterly disappointed. This and shit losses to the like of Melbourne might bite us on the arse at the business end of the year.
