And yet Cotts covered more ground than anyone (again) with 15.9km. People might not think so but he plays his role every week, sometimes its a sacrificial one which utilises his running power.
Agree, love Cotters endeavour and am sure, as has been in the media this week, he sacrifices his own game to allow others to maximise theirs - for the betterment of the team.
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?
