Fought it out.
Beaten by a better side.

The magic 3-4 goal loss strikes again.

Never going to win when 3-6+ blokes contribute roughly zero.

Including a captain.

Went pretty much to script. Showed some fight early which forced Melbourne to actually get warmed up earlier than planned. Then chased arse for the rest of the game to lose by 4-5 goals. So looking forward to next week against the Dawks where no doubt we'll play really badly and roll over to an inferior side.
Backline was the worst I've seen them play all year.

Pretty much as I expected today.

3 and 6 though is not quite what I was expecting at this point. I'm an optimist. Rack my brain as I might, I just can't see the signs of improvement. Rebuild or no rebuild, we're not developing at the pace of the competition. That worries me much?

If we lose next week Teague will be on notice.

Dont think we were expecting teams like Melbourne to improve more than us, this is always the problem, we can improve and we have but teams like the Dees, Dogs have gone to the next level and are making us look like we havent improved.

As he should be.

The selections (and non selection) of certain players has been inexcusable.

Any word on Cuners?
