"We would love to have that 14 seconds with Jack Riewoldt with the ball and be able to make a decision about it. We have no doubt about the Kel Moore shot on goal, the resultant kick out came out, that the clock continued to run down. It was sitting right in front of me in the box, continued to run down and didn't get reset."

"There is relief, and there's some pride with the group's effort after half time under a lot of adversity, and individuals down. Collectively we played with a real spirit. We willed ourselves across the line. I don't think it was pretty; we've kicked 17 goals to get across the line. I thought we showed real fight and will and effort, and eventually the form will come."

"I think in a lot of ways Richmond considered themselves a chance to win the game. They've been in really good form, and I don't think we can underestimate them, and I'm not a spokesperson for Richmond, but they've been in really good form over the last three rounds."

"Their contests and pressure and goal-scoring and use has been really outstanding, and they've played some really good teams so we always knew it was going to be tough. In a real sense, they dominated the contest up to half time, although early we were fine, but it was more counter-attack footy in a sense."

"We get to regroup and nurse some of these sore bodies. They get time to reflect on what we did well and what we need to do better. The pressures of AFL footy are great and how they look after themselves is fantastic, so they'll get together over the next two weeks and let their hair down a little bit, which I encourage. Then it's on with the hard work again."
