Getting Destroyed in Ruck and Clearnces and Having no KPD after Marsh went down and Had no one to Stop Brown.

We where always going to Struggle.

incorrect. that's not why we lost.
So we where not good enough then.

I also thought Marsh going down lost us the game.

JW, what do you think was the reason?

Agree, Dave. Having to play as a KPD when Marsh went down and lack of fitness meant his second half wasn't awesome but I reckon what we saw in the first half is what we will get at afl level, when he gets a pre-season or two under his belt.

Marsh injured again is really disappointing. Really, really disappointing.

Missing so much footy would not be good for Fitness but got to end of Season Fit. So should have his 1st Pre-Season in 3 years be big. Though good for to show what he is Capable of.

Marsh Hammy made the Loss even Worse

We lost it forward

Now there's something new!

Big cox dropped three gimme marks, but did a nice bash on around his ankles, (strange), so they put Dwyer forward. Had no hope against a. Ugh taller defender. I just don't get it

That'll play out over the next couple of weeks but he didn't have much impact, certainly not the characteristic dash you'd expect. Be interesting to see if there is surgery in his immediate future as appears to be playing hurt.

So we where not good enough then.

Why did Moore not play?
Moore apparently "general soreness" so I guess they thought he needed a week off.

Reid obviously put into cotton wool for 2016.

Yes, we lost structure when Marsh was hurt but realistically can't predict that or pick the team for that prospect. It likely came down to a choice of Still or Close or Moore and Close got the nod because he had more impact last week than Still and Moore's soreness.

Lost because none of our tall forwards could impose themselves like Brown. To a man, they all almost clunked contested marks.

Yes, Close was disappointing.
He did a couple of good things.
we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest.
