SEN made a decision on the fly to take talkback.  they hadnt been planning on doing it, but their text machine and socials were blowing up so much, that they announced  Finey's Final Siren  for the lunchbreak.     if that doesnt tell you what a sh1tshow that 1st session was, then i dont know what it says!!!

The caller calling for Starc's head was before a ball was bowled in the 3rd test.

Heard a caller on SEN last night saying Starc should retire. He's no good ya da ya da ya da. Nekminut 6 for.

As for "pace", the Saffies have made a joke of needing it on this pitch, it shows you how predictable and pedestrian our blokes look when the pitch or conditions aren't assisting, excluding Boland who has the hunger the rest basically go through the motions! They don't want to be there, they can earn 10x playing for 1/20th the time in India!

yep - that "dead" track and "flat" ball sure seemed to fire up a bit, when Rabada and Jansen were steaming in. 

Harry Hoekstra from Vic looks ok.  Pity theres no batting although I always thought McSweeney deserves another try in his preferred slot.
The NSW Cartel has been putrid this test...at all facets.
Beau Webster looks finished too.

I kicked more goals through the garage door than Jezza got that year.

You opened the garage door?

We left it closed as an automatic ball return, for both footy and cricket, most people in our area became deaf to the noise and the door ended up textured like a golf ball! Stab pass and bowling practise mostly.

49ers embraced it - be good to have them here again. One of their media pack has you tube of trying Australian foods - he didn't like tomato sauce,  but liked Vegemite.

Again, there are lots of good reasons for people to leave (weather being one)

Another couple of good reasons are trying to avoid the public transport crush and trying to avoid being out in public any later than necessary in crime-riddled Melbourne.

When the bough breaks ...........

Started off like we wanted to really win it, finished like we were still being coached by Voss.

We played Hawthorn a while back in the rain and got spanked, tonight we didn't handle the slippery conditions again. It's clearly an issue that needs to be addressed.

What is also of serious concern to me is that some of our players who have been adequate for many weeks, crumbled under the pressure and did some extremely stupid things.

Young & Cottrell were braindead tonite, some of the things they did completely defy logic. Kemp going for the left foot checkside from the right forward pocket only to kick the ball in the middle and float it across goal to the opposite pocket where Cottrell took a chest mark. From the set shot, Cottrell kicked across the body and hit the post - two appalling choices let down by poor skills. I also wasn't impressed with Cottrell laughing when he hit the post, seriously champ, this is a cut-throat final which requres a little more focus than what you showed.

We got a few bum decisions from the umpires but that is not why we lost, we failed to maintain the pressure & chase like we have seen for many weeks.

Fraser got a coaching lesson tonite, we were all over them early and made them look second-rate, Scott made some subtle changes and they stormed back into the match.

Yes, it's been a really weird year for us with plenty to like but this elimination final showed just how far off the pace our list is and how we cannot cut corners in our pursuit for the ultimate success.

    

Scott definitely made some tweaks, they really got us on the counter and outside by backing themselves to sit a couple off the contest.
Fraser didnt adjust the long kicks to Harry. Not sure how many marks he took but every mark he didnt mark it, when the bal hit the ground Geel punished us by taking it away. They needed to put it bed because Geel were waiting for it every single time.
Our fwd line looked dysfunctional by large tonight, Stewart seem to gobble up everything, we played into their hands (literally).

And Garry Lyon cheering him on all night ( almost as much as johhno brown was cheering on Taylor Byrne
!)

We unfortunately had it on 7 so lots of BT with nfi and Reiwoldt pushing his barrow…

Frankie evans.

its easier to be best on ground when everyone else does the work too, but not only was his game impressive to watch the stats sheet back it up.

1 goal 1.
22 disposals (16 kicks, 6 handballs)
8 marks
4 tackles
12! Inside 50's
613 metres gained.
10 score involvements
2 goal assists.

Ollie florent and pittonet were huge too.  Cripps had one of his better games for the year, and everyone worked hard. 

Very impressive victory and the aints had no answers.
