There really isn't a gap. This is already a premiership capable side... Our best players are in their prime. Another year for our young players like Hollands and Motlop Injured players like Williams and Silvagni thereabouts and available Plenty of competition for spots and versatility to throw players around when needed. Some good solid finals experience behind us, when just about all players stood up at one stage or another. Get that top 4 spot next year, and don't have to travel. Home and hosed
MBB. Has a point. We played almost one great quarter, then scored 4 goals in 3 quarters. We might have tried hard but we’re smashed every position on the park. We were lucky it was a close result. We could have lost by 6 or more goals. They are by far a better unit than we are.
Yes of course they are, they finished second. We scraped in after capitulating halfway thru the season. And have done damn well, our first quarter was a (wonderful) aberration but was never really sustainable at a ground we haven’t won at for 10? Years.
We did damn well. Should be proud. I am. Learning experience that will hold us in good stead for the future!!

H had a complete gimme free he didn’t get in the last Quarter push in the back that was so obvious I assume that umpire will not umpire again / if he’d kicked that we’d have had momentum.
Not sure how that result equates to we only played a good first 20 mins?
Up until now I felt this was a free hit but now my expectations have increased because the Pies did not impress me much last night - there’s a PREMIERSHIP up for the taking 😬😬😬😵😵😵
I hate all booing too and I respect freedum, sorry Freedom Of speech, but if some fool that has had more airtime than all of us x100 combined for no other reason than he is a stale pale old middle class male that has always had that freedom, above others, to voice what he thinks with no retribution ever, then I do not respect nor value that opinion.
And it’s not just him voicing an opinion. It is him also telling people to boo the WTC. So he’s advocating not only to disapprove Of it but to actively voice that.
Sam Newman is a fkwit and IMO if you’re thinking of booing the WTC, you’re a racist.
Not sure why it seems so hard for people to sit through, as someone said - the sponsor bullcrap we have to listen to is always done respectfully 🤷🏻♀️ so we’re more respectful of corporate advertising than WTC. It’s just absurd. And embarrassing.
PS. Around me on level 4 Q32 on Friday night everyone stood up and quietly listened to the WTC. No one ignored it or talked thru it. Off their own bat they stood. All ages and colours, men and women. Had a row of young guys in front of me that stood even before I did. So it does resonate and is respected by many.
I just watched part of the replay too and Marchy has some real athleticism and smarts about him. He has made a few errors but in the part I just watched, so did kemp.
