Should have played in a prelim, I think if we go back and visit that after game thread everyone was of the same opinion, we were robbed. We played WCE in West Coast with no Kreuzer, Gibbs and Waite. Lost T-Bird in the second quarter. Umpires destroyed us. West Coast were a top four side.We never looked like a Premiership team. Never. Just a good finalist. Time to move on. Quote Selected

Lost T-Bird in the second quarter. Umpires destroyed us. West Coast were a top four side.In the end, people only remember the 'potential walker free' that could've won us the match.If you look through the goal by goal, you'll see a different story to us being a contender.We kicked the first 4 goals of the match, to their 0.1We kicked the last 3 goals of the match after they had got their game high lead of 21 points, 22 minutes into the last quarter and took the foot of the pedal.In the middle of the game, they kicked 15 goals to our 6 and clearly had the game on their terms.Yes, we nearly stole it late, but they were still a class above us.
