There were certainly many critical moments we can bang on about.
Ed v Bowes stoppage snap, Dow or Charlie's poor i50 brain fade v 2m Peter's, kicking to Gibbons repeatedly v a talented AFL players....
In the end our poor skill and decisions left us short. I don't think GC would be any happier with their equally poor performance.
I thought we were:
Thrashed in the ruck yet didn't play to Witts dominance
So so in the midfield
Picked a tall fwd line yet didn't play to their advantage
Add MK and many more opportunities avail
Nonetheless a very winnable game goes begging.
A few who impressed
Jones and Weiters with good support from Daisy
Crippa (q1 aside), Samo, Fisher in patches, and of course Walsh. Dow solid inside and on the burst, let down by disposal.
Murphy provided the smarts. However, there were just too many poor decisions particularly going i50.
We also struggled to get the ball out of defense over the centre of the ground, especially q1.
In all. we gave GC the win. Addressing a few of the obvious faults and yes, we would have won.
