You don’t lose by 10 goals and say you blew it… there was more than 45min to play when we had a good lead and have shat the bed.

Yep. Utter capitulation but also credit to their guns who willed the contest their way. ..

I understand a lot of fans are going to be disappointed but Terry Wallace never made a grand final. I'm just disappointed that we couldn't make it more of a contest at the end for the fans. But so be it.

I agree. The opportunity I mean. Not every day you are up by 19 in a GF well into the third. Rolled gold opportunity we had. Worst turnaround since 1997. But worse.

Just short of a gallop I think. The fairytale road trip just took too much out of us

I reckon we blew it in the last 3 rounds of the regular season. Great effort to pick up the pieces to make the GF, but winning the GF was a bridge too far. The travel and restrictions killed us. Had we of come 2nd in the regular season our path would have been a hell of a lot smoother.

OK so we make top 4 we win?

It wasnt about lever or may - our mids were destroyed.

WE CAN NOT HAVE A BETTER MIDFILED.

This is the most awful loss in Buildogs history.

The way they ripped it from us, against the run of play in the third was like a flash KO in fighting. Absolutely perfect left, right goodnight. The manner of it was disconcerting, in that it was those clean, decisive wins out of the guys that have haunted often since 2017. Should be capable of managing that better.

Struggling to make sense of it. Want to reframe it as it took an unbelievable run to put us down, and it was, but also really disappointed in how the score line ended up. Very sad end.
