“Jack Crisp took a nice intercepting mark on the wing late in the game. Instead of driving us into attack, he kicked fifty metres backward to Tom Langdon.

[plus my examples of Langdon + Treloar]

The reality is we just weren't good enough for long enough.”

100% agree - I don’t blame umpires.
Decisions go for / against (and as has been said, we may have benefitted in 2023)
We weren’t good enough - the incidents above were totally in our control and we didn’t do what was required / failed to execute / select the right option.

I loved 2018 which is why this one will hurt for a long, long time

        Agree Josh, at the time I thought that Reid was the more realistic option. (NT) -- Annabelle, 16:24 30/10/24 Wed
        That was definitely the case -- Magpie Man, 17:37 30/10/24 Wed
