That’s all that matters. Power, Bevo and co need to find improvement. That’s all there is to it.
Really?
We were 3 goals up in the 3rd.
Maybe we traversed the country.
Why is everyone ok with this? Melbourne aren't that good...
First team to win it from outside then eight for years.

We lost by 12 goals. We’re miles off.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Based on tonight’s performance it is hard to disagree but they had everything go right for them. A healthy list, little travel and well rested. What probably stopped us was our blip in the last 3 games that made it hard.

Re: Three things you've learned finals week four 2021 Grand Final v Melbourne
Something just off with the group to roll over like that. We’ve seen it too many times where we show zero spirit or effort. I’m at a loss to explain it but we don’t have that resolve to take the next step. There’s no way in hell the likes of Picken, Clay Smith, Dale Morris and Matt Boyd let that shit happen. There’s an element missing with this group.
Melbourne just have more all round balance. We rely on our mids who have clearly shown they’re mentally fragile. Melbourne have guns on all lines. They have pace and toughness. We’re a bit of a one trick pony that needs manic ball to win. Need some adjustments to go next level.

It feels good to say that but we aren't miles off it
Anyway let's just enjoy losing like this entire forum has decided to.
I'm not happy.
I'm *!*!*!*!ing pissed off.
What a failure.

But I thought the week off was a huge disadvantage to the dees. Why isn’t anyone talking about it ruining our momentum??? Doesn’t suit the agenda I know.

Agree. They are good and reckon it would have been much much closer under normal circumstances. Probably blew the flag by losing those last 3 games. Anyway we will come back from this.
Chin up. Can’t change the past but can learn and become better learning from mistakes.

I’m not happy either. It was pathetic, yellow bellied stuff from half way through the 3rd. Bevo had no answer and our guys just rolled over. We’re miles off it.

Who says we are happy losing? No one is happy but what can you do. We need to support our team and the coaches, recruiters etc to make sure we are better next year.
2021 has been shit and this adds to it. 2022 will be better

We simply ran out of gas.
We know we need a first ruck, and we will get one
Intercepting defenders are the new black. We really really need one.

It actually was an advantage to them. We tried to make it that it was a negative. Clearly it wasn’t. No agenda.

I don't think everyone is OK with the result, it was an appalling capitulation but I can't discount that Melbourne were phenomenal when they needed to be and a far better balanced line-up.

We need to work out who can help him out so he can return to that role more frequently.
