16 pts flattered us. So much learning will come from 3 finals against quality opponents.

It took us 3q to kick the same score as we kicked in the 1st. Once Brisbane asserted themselves, we really had no answers. They monstered us around the ball and beat us on the outside as well. Oh well. Super season that was bound to run out of steam sooner or later. I'm surprised we got as far as we did.

My membership is already paid. After so very very long, the future looks bright. Cleaning out the dead wood and overifluencers was pivotal. Oh and it turns out going with a tenacious, straight talking, humble and trusting coach was a master-stroke.

Charlie Curnow again very poor against a very average defender.

We held BrisVegas to a losing score but our inability to kick big scores for the past few weeks came back to haunt us. Our defensive game, and our defensive group is top notch. Our offensive game and mids to forwards connection, and forward line group, need work. We need more reward for effort.
As silly as it might seem, I'd rather lose a preliminary final than a grand final.
The boys will have learned so much from the back end of this season and especially our finals exposure.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Charles had a very disappointing finals series.

If Brisbane end up winning the premiership, we can console ourselves we were beaten by the best team in the competition. Not sure Collingwood would have wanted to play us, and I do not fear them. The Lions at the Gabba is a fortress.
