A very gutsy all round performance.
Docherty’s performance on the ball was excellent, whilst Stocker’s physicality through the night was important. I also thought all of Setterfield, Walsh, Cripps, Young, Weitering, McKay, Saad & Marchbank battled well.
Up forward, Martin, who I haven’t really been a fan of this year, was brilliant at key moments and could have been a match winner. Durdin was also back to his early year form and great to watch.
On the downside
(1) Newnes simply isn’t up it
(2) LOB needs to develop his body to break/stage up in tackles
(3) Pittonet, whilst physical, is a very limited/average footballer
(4) Owies good is offset by poor decisions and like Newnes he is often too slow to release the ball
(5) Silvagni’s kicking for goal has to improve and has been costly

The Pickett goal we were 1 on 1, he slipped Newnes for a tin ass goal. He then gave it to Newnes, very classy, your day will come you muppet! We probably should have had more numbers back but I get it (sort of).
The one that killed us was the Melksham goal, how does he mark it in a 4 v 2?

And we just have to go to work on stopping last minute of the qtr goals by the opponent, if I can bring myself to watch the replay, I'll check but I think we did it in qtrs 1 3 and 4 maybe?

Stocker and Setterfield should be back up bulls in the midfield and should be given contracts,
Cripps, Cerra, Hewett, Kennedy, Walsh are starters but if one goes down then Stocker and Setterfield should be next on the list.
I hope Vossy and team improves on prior regimes that they train and play in their most effective position for 23.
That was one massive positive.
The other positive is Cottrell taking Langdon to the cleaners, Nice game by Cotts.
I would still drop a few Newnes + Motlop for Cerra and Kennedy if they come up.

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.

Super proud of the boys tonight. To a man, they left nothing out there. 4 quarters of solid non stop effort. Just kept going and going. That type of finals like atmosphere, and finals like pressure, will hold us in good stead going forward. Nealy pipped last years premiers with no Cerra, Kennedy, Hewett, TDK. Woof Saad playing in distress or injured. Pittonet / Silvagni / Cripps vs Gawn and Jackson. Charlie as rusty as a box of hundred year old nails. Will the Whipping boy had a good game, and hopefully his critics will give themselves the day off.
Well done boys. The best game of the year. Shame about the result. Not disgraced by any means.

Let's face it, we got away with a few close games early in the season. It was only a matter of time before we lost one.

Charlie's off the boil.
But he's just as likely to a kick a bag next week.
That's the kind of player he is...
Can't wait for his 'complete' game.
I still don't think we've seen it, but we know he's capable of it
