I am of the mindset that we can not win the comp this year due to many reasons I have stated on here many a time. Armed with that and no pressure, I went to the game tonight just looking for a good contest. As a result, I really enjoyed my footy this evening. It was a frenetic, end to end affair that held your interest for the most part. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric and loud. It was a fun night.
Sure we can be considered a tab unlucky but the bad calls went both ways and to be honest, The Dogs still looked a class above us. They made life difficult for our outside backs numerous times and easily split us in attack. To our credit, we fought hard and deserved that level up try to finish the game off. However there are still massive problems in both attack and defense and we did well to force the best side in the comp into extra time.
Sure in retrospect, we probably should have won that game…we had many chances to do so including 3 great setups for the drop goal that were squandered....we just werent good enough on the night. In saying this though, we showed a tonne of guts and didnt give up. I am proud of that effort...I think thats only the 4th time this year I have said that.
