It says a lot that Wilkie is chosen to play on Buddy and not Howard.

Simple. Buddy is too mobile for most full backs.

Fantastic game by Hanners.....what could have been if his body had help up
Hopefully we try to retain him in a coaching capacity, sounds like his leadership skills are fantastic

They could at least ask the question if he’d like to go again as a rookie on base pay. Who knows.

Higgins needs to work on his goal kicking. Is a good mark and has a lot of smarts. Definitely not going anywhere. Has big upside.

Some decent effort but too many simple skill errors and lack of decisive forward movement in the end cost us .... pretty much the story of the 2nd half of this season

Reckon there were about 8 to 10 times when Swan players were tackled and clearly dropped or threw the ball without us being rewarded

Loved Windhager and Owens in the middle and us winning those centre clearances with those two hunting the ball ...... need to build on those 2 along with Nasiah and hit the draft hard

Its been disappointing missing the Finals after our 8-3 start but there is a sembleance of a spark there however the coaching department need to start to sort their crap out and players need to work hard on their decision making and skill levels

Hanna’s retention would be like getting back with you ex girlfriend after having great sex for a night.

It all seems like a good idea at the time but you settle into the old routine and you quickly remember why you broke up.

Time to move forward.
