We haven't lost a final at home for 22 years.
I think the small ground really hurt the team. We ran 20kms less for the game compared with our other finals, despite having the 5 top distance runners on the ground. At the G we would spread and it would take the some of the speed out of the Lions legs. Players like Rayner( who ran a 8min 2km at the combine) would get exposed but at the Gabba he is able to get around and still have the power to burst out of congestion. We couldn't link up as there was no space as their quicker players closed it down.
Was always going to be tough interstate where Brisbane are 5 goals better than away. Hopefully the Lions don't get exposed on the G on Saturday.
That said I do think we need to look at how we defended with our zone. Backed off way too much and let them have too many uncontested marks.
It looked that way unless the boys said “Adam this is your fault. Stand in the middle and we’ll tell you why”.yep apparently so - dragged the boys together & had a chat.

We tried playing Weitering in that position but they kept rolling big targets back into the hole infront of him or on his back shoulder to prevent him from cutting the ball off. Weiters got done 3x in a row, he was playing his role but it looked very ordinary. They played through Weitering because of how we played him the two weeks prior.One area I reckon we were out coached particularly in the 2nd quarter. May sound like Under 11s tactics but feel we needed to have a player anchored about 25 out from the Brisbane goal as a 'goalkeeper' to stop those out the back goals they got (or at least apply pressure).
I'm sure we did that with Weitering the week before against Melbourne.

As someone who watched on TV, not at the ground, these 2 takes are very surprising.
- Our 2nd tall defender position is still a weakness. Marchbank looked miles, miles off the pace. Kemp would've been a better inclusion imo. Marchy got cooked.
- Boyd was just a bad inclusion. He looked like someone who hadn't played football for 2 months. To bring him in for a prelim final was just a bit cheeky.
Only two from that summary?As someone who watched on TV, not at the ground, these 2 takes are very surprising.
Yep. There's opinion and there's plain wrong.Only two from that summary?
You're going to be shocked when you see our MVP votingAt the ground was obviously different by the sounds of things which is fine, hence why I prefaced it with that and said I haven't seen the telly. Clearly some have come up very different
I saw Marchbank get turned around several times, and particularly in the first qtr Boyd had a couple of crucial fumbles and unclean moments.
So did I watching on TV, however all the reports indicate SaadyThat’s fantastic…gee whiz i assumed it was Crippa…another leader developing

Apparently, the footage wasn't great, very short from what I saw, he was in the middle of the group and back was to the camera, but most comments on twitter pointed the finger at him. Not sure how vocal he is with the group, but in my mind he would be one of those blokes that doesn't say much, but when he does, you listen.

Best performance by any Carlton coach in 24 years and you are critical of him. All Voss's flaws and he finishes 16 points off a grandfinal in his 2nd year. All coaches need complimentary assistants. What you call rigidity is just one great tactical assistant away from a premiershipRigid thinker is spot on. He is also pretty clueless around getting the messaging right. In his own words he tells the players that you have to win games and finals multiple times. And they play just like it. Get in a good position and then let the opposition back in so they can ‘win the game again’. Time and time again.
Why not drill them to put the foot on the throat at the first opportunity and don’t let up? Never hear anything like that within all his fluffy word salads. I think half the time he’s not even thinking it’s just saying words for the sake of it.
