No he didn't. Shit kick yes, deplorable in fact but how did they end up with a player by himself in the goal square. Seriously how did we completely lose all composure and structure

How does everyone feel about Gowers now?

Think we may have found a KPF too.

Have liked him since his first game.

Because that's what happens with turnover football on a fast transition.

Im devastated by the loss but I'm fully on board with how we performed tonight. We got beaten by a harder team but gee there was some impressive performances by some of our boys. Crozier, Gowers, Williams, Naughton and Wallis really stepped up.

Im a bit confused at the moment, I'm both pissed off and proud .

Why is an entire team on a fast transition with no time left

Because Wallis kicked the ball OOB on the full at the most important time we had to maintain possession, hence my original comment.
It's really not that hard to read a passage of play.

I thought we had that one. Hard to be overky critical of tonight, of course we should have done a lot of things better but it was a pretty gutsy performance.

The effort was good.
Imagine we swap just one player for a Macrae or a Liberatore. We'd have it in the bag.

Good performance tonight.

Disappointing that some of the execution in really simple situations cost us.

Would think we will learn a fair bit from the behind the goals footage on that last play, not sure we should have been pressing so high leaving a decision to move off Brown to attack Higgins and also leaving Ziebel free. Bad on the spot management by the playing group.

Needed to be smarter on a play starting from deep in our forward line. Clearly didn't defend the ground as we should have.

I believe we will win.

I said that at three quarter time and I am so pissed to lose in those circumstances. We only have ourselves to blame. There were so many times that we lacked COMPOSURE. It cost us badly. We just bombed away on so many occasions - cruel.
Still there were some good signs. Who said Gowers can't play?
And Crozier? I was wrong about him. Great to have Adams back too. We played our best football for quite a while and still lost. We could have had a 5 goal lead before half time but blew it. Just inexcusable and it's been a problem for two years.

Trengoves decision to come up to the play capped off his night.

Agree on Wallis kick too.
