In the cold light of day....
It not often you can be really devastated by a result but pleased with the performance.
There were minor costly lapses.... but that was us being 'on' four four quarters.
Mutiple lead changes, but never more than a couple of goals in it.
How many games do you see like that?
Not many Carlton games in recent history.
So if the footy gods are not kind and we don't make it...well as Voss, said it was a finals type game... we don't really need the experience because we've got a glimpse of what it takes.
While the replacements performed really well in the middle it took them away from their own normal roles. Add one or two of our missing mids and the result probably goes the other way.
Setterfield's been the subject of a fair bit of criticism but when the boss singles you out for a mention in the presser you're probably a part of his future plans.
One thing that I liked, and we don't often get vision of it, was the interaction between the coach and assistants deep in discussion at various points of the game and in the aftermatch.
We'll never know, but we possibly could have found an injury to give a fresh Paddy Dow a run in the last 15 minutes..it may have made a difference.
