We were a different side without Williams who was taking intercept marks in the corridor and uses the ball better than most.
Eddie's injury stopped our most dangerous forward and the move of weitering forward was about 10 minutes too late.
Still had we taken our chances better(SPS, Newnes, fisher x2, owies x2, martin left foot snap, tdk) you know the gettable ones we'd have changed the game significantly enough.
It’s all excuses mate. Every year it’s a new one.
Yes we have injures but seriously a side who still had a small chance to play finals and then to lose the way we did to the bottom placed side is never acceptable if we are really a team that is close to making finals.
If we lost by a goal or 2 maybe missing players could have been the difference but not the way we lost today.
We again will be front and centre media wise and fair enough too. If Essendon or Collingwood performed the way we have this year we will be sh1tcanning them like there is no tomorrow.
Essendon have had a heap of injuries to key personnel yet they are on the verge of making the 8. How come injuries hasn’t stopped them this season from performing to expectations like it has us.
It’s sad that as a supporter base we are so accustomed to losing that we roll out the excuses before we even play the bloody game.
If we were in year 1 or 2 of the rebuild some of the excuses may be valid not in year 6 and if we really want to be respected never to the bottom team.
