same documentary<\/a>, which was screened on Stan, the sports streaming service owned by Nine, publishers of this masthead, there was vision of Bellamy addressing the playing group for less than 90 seconds after the Panthers defeat.<\/p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s not much I\u2019m going to say that will make us feel any better,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t get those opportunities too often.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe good part about this year, we deserved to be there, we just weren\u2019t good enough tonight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout getting too technical or tactical, they [Penrith] stick to what they are good at, and they don\u2019t budge. Sometimes we try to do a couple of things we\u2019re not so good at.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we don\u2019t come back to pre-season hungry after that, we shouldn\u2019t be here.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe let an opportunity slip; I need to learn from it, you need to learn from it, we need to learn from it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we don\u2019t, well, it\u2019s a waste of time going through this pain we\u2019re going through.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to get to a grand final, but as we found out tonight, it\u2019s a lot harder to f—ing win one, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bellamy said on Thursday: \u201cI hope we have learned from last year. You never know what will happen, you can\u2019t predict it, you just have to prepare the best you can.<\/p>\n
Loading<\/p>\n
\u201cWe haven\u2019t waited until the grand final to see if we have [learned from last year]. We wanted to learn right from the start of this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe reviewed the hell out of [last year\u2019s preparations], took a couple of things and said this is what we need to be better at.\u201d<\/p>\n
If they lose on Sunday, you know who will be giving Bellamy free advice in the sheds, but only after she is given a cuddle.<\/p>\n
