Are you thinking Balta in Ruck and forward? too good having him on the bench for half of each quarters.
Costly mistake.
It is like giving away your game plan.
4 days to work out how to stop Jack
Agreed but it just indicates the problem is a coaching issue to get teammates to sync on field. We will get there
Yes I was very disappointed the MC selected Chol.and not Broad.
Blatantly obvious Chol not up to it before this game and Broad had beaten Hipwood last 3 games.
A no brainer to play Broad and Balta as second tall.
I trust Dimma and MC but they went too safe and got it totally wrong. Probably cost us the game.
Caddy if fit also a no brainer.
Lions did this deliberately. .not perplexing. They planned to stop our run from defence and intercept marking..did both to perfection.
Does Dimma have a response?
Was it David King? Does he still think West Coast will get a semi final in Perth?
And the way the used Cameron on Grimes.
They went to school on our backs and got under our skins. Ploy.
Missed the game as was out bush so will enjoy watching the replay with some of these comments.
I was disappointed with the result for the one reason that other clubs will see us as beatable.
otherwise I am not to worried as if we were to lose one this was it. - the saints didn’t look to threatening I thought it was a surprisingly open final - we won’t give them so much space guaranteed.

Don’t watch it year. Don’t. Taken me till this afternoon to get myself thinking positive again for the next final. Once it was the Saints it’s back to thinking how do we beat them.
But yeah for three quarters Saints we’re allowed too much ball in open space but in the last when the Dogs made it contested they just fell in.
TBR, I understand what you are saying about Chol, but even on the basis of what you say, Chol did not perform his role.
If he was there to provide a contest then the reasoning would be that Riewoldt would not have been triple teamed. The other side of this is that, if Riewoldt is triple teamed, then one of the most effective ways to stop that would be for Chol to then leave the area and be an alternate target. He didn't seem to do this.
Just not sure how Chol contributed to our cause to be honest.
I thought he was better when he was rucking in the last quarter, seemed to be trying to compete.
Chol really doesn't position himself well. If he wants to come in and leap for the mark he needs to be able to read the flight of the ball and anticipate where it is going. Instead, he is stuck nowhere he can influence the contest.
Very difficult situation given we need to be able to at least nullify the StKilda rucks next week.

We obviously did not plan for Andrews playing. Or failed to implement the plan.
I know we are very structured and system based and Dimma doesn't move his players around on match day (not sure what he does in the box besides watch the game) but in the last he should have moved either balta or dtld forward to provide another fwd target and combat andrews. Can't remember the last time dimma made such a move.
In hindsight Broad should have played on hipwood who he has beaten previously. Hipwood had an impact. Also Broad has the ability to cover charlie cameron when grimes went off. Short covered for him and was burnt.

No way did we neutralise the aerial contest to give our smalls a chance. Brisbane dismissed Chol and either marked or punches long and wide to the boundary.
To the eye it was the most we have been outplayed in this area all year.
Andrews was also dominant. BOG. Not sure how you or anyone can downplay his impact. It was where the game was lost
If you look at it from the other end we lost 2018 and we started like *smile* in the 2019 PF after having the break. Imagine hitting those games with momentum instead of being jumped? The only concern then is if we still have petrol tix for the GF. But with the week rest it shouldn't be a concern.
Yeh, he was very good. Named best in the Saturday age. Not sure you could argue Chol had any impact if his role was to negate Andrews. Did nothing to impact Andrews game.
