    That was bad defence

    The game was still winnable but somehow Vandermeer apparently about to use that much celebrated pace to sprint towards goal, props, half turns, thinks too much about it, mangles the opportunity.

    Though this was to me The Moment, I?m not singling him out as an individual, it seems to typify our lack of belief in crucial close matches. It felt like some of our players were more fearful of failure and already dejected about defeat, than they are in that winning-the-match zone that Collingwood enters so famously.

    Even the last kick of the day, why o why didn't Macrae just snap towards goal - he decides to try and pass it

    When Greene said follow me with his actions, the rest was history

    Yeah the moment I switched off the telly was greene’s fifth goal. I knew we weren’t coming back from that.
