OK this hurts.
We are not as good as Carlton.
They are a better football team than we are right now. Fundamentally that is why we lost. I know we beat them earlier, but when it counts they ALWAYS beat us. That is because they have a better playing list. I am confident we will overtake them but to be honest we have a way to go.

I was not impressed by our skill level or our committment at the ball and at the body on Saturday. I question some of our tactics but I am not arrogant enough to suppose I know as much about it all MM. I don't believe we were less committed than Carlton but perhaps subconsiously we had conceeded they were too good and had too much to play for. All that is speculation.

There is 1 simple fact, the best sides finish consistantly high on the ladder and the worst sides finish consistantly low. We have been consistantly mediocre to poor for a long time. We are on the rise, no question. We are not yet at a level where we can consistanly beat quality opposition.

NEXT YEAR!!!!!
