    Agree I'm ok with the angst. Of course it's OTT it's emotional.

    15 points up to save the season. Conceded the next 3 you knew it was going to happen.

    We actually nearly levelled the contested possession and clearances.

    Ruck got smashed.

    But there's more to it than pure stats.

    Look we certainly gave it everything. But I don't feel that's helping me much.

      We had Bruce all year and then unfortunately goes down with an injury. Hard void to fill. What is the solution?

        This group has achieved nothing and the coach has well and truly run out of credits. Why do you think we have structural issues?
        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          You play a season to finish top four. That’s what you do for 22 weeks. To lose that chance in the last six minutes of an entire season is heartbreaking. Getting a bit emotional. Just needed that win. I’m over this lockdown.

            Try not to take it too personally mate. If we have players who can’t care enough to defend and do what’s required, we shouldn’t be expected to either.

              Sack Beveridge. We simply have not had a recognizable system of going inside 50 and never have under his tenure. This team has enough talent to be top 4. Its not the players. Its the coach.

                  Same AP the lockdown is amplifying it for me.

                    Of course they can, I’m as pissed off as anyone, ask anyone within 100 metres of my house. Most posts are fine, a few are disgusting.

                        35 kicks between Treloar, Libba, Bont and Dunks just ain’t good enough. We needed massive games from all of them.

                          The last three weeks have been gut wrenching, at least in the McCartney error I expected nothing and took some satisfaction in our minimal wins.
                          All year I’ve known this would happen, and had mates who are opposition supporters pump us up and say we are the next Tigers.

                            It is obvious we need another ruck and key defender. The way we play team defence must suck the energy out of the players. We defend in packs and our midfield constantly run back and forth. No wonder they run out of steam.

                              Agreed.
                              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
