EB do you really think our list is that good that we flip a 60-0 start by changing one or 2 selections. I wish i agreed but we have more issues then MC selections imo. We fans seem to think our problems would be solved by a smarter coach better selection's etc however maybe the list has more holes then we think. We don't have the overall talent to challenge the best teams when it matters.
We fail year in year out mate. We just aren't good enough for long enough.

There is that but it is still a mind boggling decision.

^ acres, cerra - they’re such good players when they play well but when they don’t - and when acres does crap kicks it just kills us. Newman at times too
 just wasn’t reliable! Senior players need to be reliable! Not flashy but just do not kick it directly time and again to our disadvantage.

Don't let these imbeciles drag you into a stupid debate.

For the first quarter we hardly had the ball forward of centre, and at one stage it was 15 / 20 Lion's I50s to just 4 for us. It wouldn't matter if we had Charlie, Harry, Carey, Lockett and Dunstall inside F50!

As for blaming the 1st 50 minutes on the Sub selection, it's stupidity, the Sub could have been Judd, Dusty, Ablett, any fecker anybody likes, they had no bearing on the first 50 or so minutes of the game. And it made no difference if the Sub was a ruck, rover, utility, fullback or tagger.

Yep.

I fear we have missed our opportunity for a Cripps premiership 😔

Not all players can do all things - but for a start, clear out the injured players.
Enough.

And sorry but clear out players that cannot be trusted / I’m talking McG, Williams, Pittonent, even Cerra and maybe Acres.

Ye some of the best might win you a game. But consistently do not provide enough.

I thought after Thurs night I wouldnt see a worse finals showing, our first qtr and a bit was the worst performance I have ever seen. No pressure, no intensity, no desperations, its as disappointed as I have been watch us play. The game was done and dusted at qtr time, I could not believe what I was seeing.

We need just enough of a tweak to put pace, run and spread into the side.

Defeated before the first bounce.

Had we had a mixture of a few ins and the usuals in maybe we could see past the game, but I think those on the ground knew there wasn’t much left.

I don’t care for what why if or buts the reality is the conditioning fitness or any other reason the group capitulated after being second on the ladder was either extremely unlucky or extremely incompetent - not acceptable.

If you cant get yourself fired up for final and be ready to run through brick walls from the opening bounce, go and choose another occupation. Im being critical here but I was a little disappointed at the leadership in the first qtr. It needed someone (or two) to stand up and do something.
