Garry and Gerard were very good in summing us up on 360. Lyon said it was due to the gap in the number of A graders between the two sides.
Gerard said the "hyperventilating over Carlton" was nonsense. He said when the fixture came out, you would have had us at L W W W. Judge us after our next three not the the first one. GW said we should win the next 3 and we will be able to see what we have been working on. They talked about how we have sold off some high end talent to get in Harry this year, Cody next year and couple with Jagga, that's where the future lies.
I thought they were very measured and sensible, worth watching If you can.
As opposed to bozo's like Damo,  Lloyd and McClure on FC, absolute pee brains.

The quality of the footy shows has diluted so much I can barely watch any of them.

Gulden got leather poisoning and no one went near him. Heeney found space at easy. Warner broke away every time he got the ball. Grundy got on top of our rucks. That was essentially the ball game.
Gulden's 1/2-game effort as the best I've seen in a long time, I notice the coaches thought otherwise, but I suspect Gulden will get 3 Brownlow votes.
Yep.

Do you think Pendlebury would have played if he got stretchered off like weitering did that night? Not a chance.
I thought Weitering was OK against the Swans without being outstanding, but it wasn't a game KPPs were ultra-strong in with most of the critical scoring that really hurt us came from runners.

Of course Amartey and Curnow benefitted from the free running, but they weren't the real dominant drivers of the free scoring.

Couldnt help myself, watched the replay.
First two quarters we closed the centre corridor and pushed them wide. We tackled well and applied pressure to force errors.
After the 5 min mark of the 3rd and being 22 points up, Grundy, Gulden, Heeney, Warner Blakey and McInerny went absolutely nuts and tore us a new one. Thats 6 players who we kept quiet for 2 qtrs and 5 mins. McInerny appeared to playing on Kemp in the first half and was moved into the midfield and across HF kicking 3 important goals. Gulden got leather poisoning and no one went near him. Heeney found space at easy. Warner broke away every time he got the ball. Grundy got on top of our rucks.
That was essentially the ball game.

what you mean like calf injury he sustained heading into the finals last year?

He strained it during the warm up, and instead of declaring it, tried to play through it and lasted 5 mins.

Sometimes you get the Lachie neale grand finalist sometimes you get Charlie curnow.

Ultimately if we were going better no one would care.  But we arent so everyone is pointing at any fault they can which is fair enough.
