Im gutted we lost, but we were so close to pulling off a win despite how poorly we played for the majority of the game. I said it in the In Game Thread, there was a point late in the last where if we kicked 2 in a row, the Bullies sphincters really would have tightened. Sure enough, we got one then Charlie got in great position and shanked one he really should have kicked. It would have been on like donkey kong but alas. Point is, we've got a hell of a lot of room for improvement but only need to do a few things better at certain points in games when they are in the balance. I say again, I'm gutted we lost (more so for the boys than us supporters) but it can turn around very quickly if we grab our chances when they present. We've got players in Cripps (who might give the Brownlow a nudge at this rate), Charlie, Fisher and eventually Dow and H who will drag people through the turnstyles. Fisher is getting better with every game, his contested numbers are increasing every week. Cripps in my view is now elite. If Charlie could stop getting caught so much, he will kick 10 in a game.
