We ran out of steam in the last quarter. Right in front of me live at the ground I could see it happening. A few crucial runs that we didn’t get close to.
People have forgotten - we had Kennedy, Hewitt and Walsh out of our midfield. We had a sore Saad and an equally sore Crippa after that knock with JSOS, running around. Add in a Weiters who hasn’t been the same since his injury, a ZWilliams who hasn’t played for how many months…?
Add in some wonky shit umpiring calls gifting them a goal and taking a certain one from us.
And it’s a miracle we were in the position we were in at 3/4 time.
The sting has gone for me of this game. We played our guts out under duress and just missed out on a finals spot. We were never going to make a dent come finals time, dragging injured players to the finish line. The last two games has given us what we need. Lessons to be learned. We have the players, just need to harden them up, keep them together and fit and healthy and go again next year with more depth, more experience, more hunger ??
