There is only one game that matters this year everyone
Sure streaks are nice, but there are a lot of positives we can still take out of today's match and the focus simply has to be the learn from the experience.
As long as we don't meet Essendon in the finals - I'm not worried.
they were just too quick for us, they had 3 injured players on the interchange bench going into the last quarter - otherwise they would have won by the 40 points - let's not kid ourselves.
Pace plus Watson proved too much.
Our players looked flat or were made to look flat ? .. but a great year so far so we can't really complain.

Combination of both I think. I think in the 2nd & 3rd qtr's we didnt work anywhere near as hard as we have been in regards to pressuring the opposition and also weren't working hard enough in winning contested possession.
I reckon the players will be pretty disappointed with the loss, if there was any complacency creeping into the game I bet by this time next week there won't be.

Yes. It almost looked as though when we started to dominate early alot of the boys decided we would win and just slowed down. It won't happen again now
