Zorko just asked if he was surprised Cincotta wasn’t played and he laughed. They expected a run with and we didn’t bother.

Seriously MC  WTF did Cincotta do wrong to be DROPPED for this game, after being superb all season?
He was made for Lachie Neale.....just another game we lost at the MC table.

This season has been the most disappointing, more than in the crap years, as we were so well positioned to win the whole thing and it just exploded in our faces due to Russell and Voss/MC. Essentially, utter mismanagement in those areas. They should be ashamed and embarrassed.

Voss/MC and Russell can go and well and truly get @#$##!

I hate losing, especially to Brisbane, but I can be happy for the last half: we stood up when other teams this weekend (Port and Bulldogs) just gave up. If we hadn't been blown away in the first half ...  :-[  :-[  >:(

We really stuffed up with our selections. The Match Committee have some serious work to do. Picking half-fit players is just not smart, no matter how desperate we were. We also have some players who need to take a good, hard look at themselves, some coaches who need some tactical brilliance (we don't have much) and a lot of work on our skills and fitness. The last weeks of this season have been a disaster.
Live Long and Prosper!

So much to do

Game plan is predictable and easy to counter
We lack pace everywhere
We lack athletes, with many of our starting side having no visible muscle tone
We lack a mobile key tall back
Small forwards are laughable

I won’t go into naming each player that isn’t up to it as it’s plain for everybody to see.

The Sub had nothing to do with the 1st half, that debate is a smokescreen.

We were much better when we had both rucks on the ground.

Embarrassing effort and clearly we had players who were unfit and should never have played and we should have kept some of the kids in the team who had earned their spots. A MC blunder and was a gamble we were never going to win and our fitness through the season has to be questioned and how we got to this position as does our list management which left us short of talls in key areas which cost us games and forced us into an elimination final interstate after being in second place.

Its hardly surprising.

Majority of us were in agreement that the MC stuffed up with the teams were first announced.
A sentiment I and others repeated when TDK was named sub.

You can't win a game at the selection table, but you can lose them.

MC and coaching fail...too many unfit players and too many changes. We looked a mess all night and the end scoreboard flattered us, and the sad aspect is Brisbane are not that good.

We were. But thats because before that we had Kemp as a key forward. Therein lies the problem.

Had we started with TDK forward, with Harry, its a different game.
Swap Pitto and TDK ruck/forward and its a different game.
Even Pitto contributed in front of goals late.

You NEVER pick a ruck as a sub.

No, we were better with TDK on the ground. Not the 2 rucks per se.

The Sub, whoever is in the Sub seat, has no bearing on what happened in the first half for us tonight, and they have no bearing on the result before they get on the ground.

Disgraceful overall performance. Time for much introspection and reflection. A lot of work needed to prepare for next year. I’ve just about had enough, at least for the time being.

Im with you cookie. Its so hard to fail year after year after year when we have endured the longest rebuild known to mankind. We should have been contesting for the flag this year there is no stand out team it would have been a great year to strike but again when it matters we fall short. Sure injuries late in the year made it harder but serious teams dont drop the games we did when injuries werent an issue.

And to see teams like geelong and hawthorn still alive just makes it that much harder to accept.

Need some big gutsy changes if we are going to go further next year. The current list (injuries or not) wont take us deep into finals so be interesting to see what the club does to change things in the off season.
