I mean, I get your point but westbulldog literally just said Fritsch "wasn't that good".

Fritsch would be our best forward. He's a gun.
The curse is dead.

My brother bravely rewatched the match and said Wood was his opponent and that 4 of his goals were from virtually uncontested marks where Easton lagged miles behind.

I don't want to get too sucked into the debate over SSEW except to say a number of his gaols, Usain Bolt wouldn't have stopped.

I'll get sucked into the debate then and understand your predicament, but SSEW got badly shown up in 2 of our finals so the question needs to be asked on what he offers us going forward if he can't lockdown on the opposition's most dangerous mid sized forward?

Oh no I agree that he should probably retire, I mean I didn't want to get sucked into the conversation thinking my natural bias mean I'm defending him.
Only that Fritsch got silver service on a number of occasions.
That being said, I don't think SSEW was that bad in the GF and no way in hell am I going back to verify that claim.

Fair call.
I'm going to do it... in my own mind I still don't really know what the hell happened on Saturday so I want to watch it again... once I've done it and made peace with it I'll be burn the tape, but I'm hoping that part of the cleansing process is to watch it again, understand from my own perspective where it went wrong and then move on... happy to share my thoughts.
And agree that SSEW probably wasn't that bad, but he definitely wasn't good and with his history of injuries it's time we looked elsewhere as it's going to be another tough journey to get back to this position again... and I have no confidence his body will get him there.

I salute your intestinal fortitude. You're a better man than me.

I certainly can’t stomach it right now and I’m not sure I’ll ever feel like watching it

Re: Where's the pain ?
I watched 1 min of the last quarter live.
1000% glad I didn’t see the rest.
Never want to.
Seeing that they kicked 9-1 goals was enough to know we were obliterated.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Re: Where's the pain ?
Yeah I’m having a tough time with this. Lockdown sort of forces you to get wrapped up in footy too much and now I’m just depressed by the spectre of it. I can’t do list management chats and ruminating about defensive work at stoppages so think I might dip for a bit.

Re: Where's the pain ?
Normally I will log-on to WOOF and read thread after thread. Lapping up all the info I can get. Then Twitter, Insta and any other social media with info about the game. Win or lose. This one is tough. Chatting with EasternWest yesterday all I could say was I’m flat. I still am. But my son giving me a huge hug as Melbourne lifted the Cup and thanking me for taking him to his first GF … kind of numbs it a bit.

Completely understand - I’ve done exactly the same thing, thrown myself into a glorious September bulldogs run, because what else is there to do in lockdown?
And so losing has felt pretty damn deflating particularly for supporters like us who know we care more than we should or is perhaps sensible.
We all deal with this stuff in our own way. I need some of the list management stuff to distract me and then I’ll watch the best and fairest on Wednesday but maybe take a break after that.

I suspect you are in the majority.
I don't know about others but Woof has felt like a bit f a ghost town to me post Grand Final. Normally we are seething on here after a loss and the post count goes through the roof, discussion ramped up today but yesterday must've been the quietest "day following a game" in years.
*Don't disprove this with stats please Gary.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Ah I see. You want me to do it, don't you?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
