Cripps with 33 possies did his job, problem was Tom Green had 33 for GWS so it evens again when we needed a clear win
Walsh with 22 possies afetr being tagged was a win for GWS also...
Tackles inside 50....GWS 26- Carlton 4.......so not much pressure from our blokes to create goals or prevent them running the ball out.
Centre Clearances were equal and Stoppages just in our favour but given this is our one wood territory I reckon GWS would take those stats and call it a win for them..
They won the contested possessions by 17 and thumped us in the uncontested possessions...
Our average marks per game is around 90 we had 57, they average around 90 too and had 92...
Overall just outworked, out run and our key players were either held or beaten, probably did well to keep the game to a 2 goal loss...
We didn't turn up to play hard footy tonight. We took the bruise-free option. Looked good when it was on our terms but had no willingness to work when it wasn't. Suppose there's a reason no side goes through undefeated. They all chuck in shit ones. Swans even managed to lose to Richmond this year.
When we lost in 1995 we lost worse than that.
