Well, stats do lie.

We were wasteful. Created plenty of opportunities, then butchered those opportunities - too often. The Pussycats were clinically efficient. They had no passengers.

For the commentators to be reporting that the Pussycats were getting the 'rub of the green' was telling. Umpire nude-nut needs a 'please explain' from the AFL.

24 tackles i50. How many were rewarded?
Of the more obvious non-decisions was Elijah's perfect tackle about 25m in front of goal 🙄

Actually, he played very well. Seems to be finding his feet and understanding the game plan.

Cam Guthrie's deliberate oob non-decision, followed by a slingshot Cats goal was another frustrating moment.

Need to get our defensively structures functioning properly. Last 3 weeks the opposition has kicked 100, 98, 118. Those 3 scores have been 16.4, 15.8 and 18.10 while we couldn't hit the side of a barn door from point blank range when shooting for goal. Our 2 losses this year, we've lost it more than the other side has won it.

Lost opportunity against the best in the business right now. Look at the stats and you'd reckon we'd won. 21 more I50s but just butchered the ball in front of goal and around the ground. Other than Weiters the defence was spanked today more so early on.
They are well coached, well drilled and as the commentators said do everything well. What they are right now is what we need to become, simple as that.
Our best IS good enough.

Yep. The end.

I'm hoarse from my all too frequent umpiring advice 😮‍💨

6 days on, we're up against the other best in the business.

Rest, recover, review, reset.
Go Blues

Despite poor conversion and umpiring going against us i thought Scott out coached Voss and we had no answers to counter the play. Used Hawkins as a decoy and burnt us on the rebound with outside run and as a result when they went inside they had space to work into. As they are so clinical when they have time and space we were always going to be up against it.

We love it in tight and contested and killed them in the middle but once the game was in play we couldnt go with them on the rebound and they made us pay everytime.

We couldn't have played worse, especially defensively, kicked poorly, and slaughtered by officialdom and still just lost by 13.

That miss by Durdin was a killer. We had plenty of others kicking terribly but that was at such a vital moment. Just crushed momentum, our heads dropped and they got 4 quick ones. He kicks that then anything happens. He was far from the only one but that was part of 0.3 kicked in the first 2 minutes of the last qtr. We should have been in front in that time.

As poor as we were defensively their well-drilled defence conceded 105. We had literally half the side out, which must upset our team defence structures.

No way they are beating us later in the year.
