POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 18

[Demonland 72,012]

Well ... what more can you say?

[Deeoldfart 8,016]

Robbed by those f'wits in yellow!

[BrisbaneDemon 1,572]

For [censored] sake, OMac, Wagner, TMac [censored] off back to the VFL until you can kick the fucken ball.  700k Sydney you can have him.....

[Phadraig 760]

So frustrating

[Bitter but optimistic 22,232]

Don't give me any positive [censored].   Once again we proved what a spiritless [censored] up club we've become.

[WattsGawnOn 122]

?

[What 18,810]

We needed only ONE OR TWO GOALS in the last quarter to win

WE DISHED UP YET ANOTHER ZERO GOAL QUARTER

[censored] PATHETIC

[Mr Steve 3,820]

I'm calling umpiring in the last quarter. And some bad kicks into the forward line. 

 

[deanox 9,910]

Robbed.

Get over yourself. T Mac wasn't Robinson Crusoe, plenty of players turned it over today, on both sides, and all over the ground.

[Watts the matter 1,235]

Luke Shuey, join the club.......scumbag

[praha 11,240]

Our defense was good. Ultimately, their defense was better.

Deplorable umpiring in the last that made it very difficult to build momentum. I never knew how blatant the bias was in Perth because we always get smashed there. It was clear the umps were looking for any reason to award a free.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Well, what could have been?  

Had we kicked straight, we win the game.  We played dirty football at times, scintillating football at other times and we still made some glaring mistakes that we need to fix up if we are to head up the ladder again in 2017.

Our midfield was awesome and we smashed them in there.  We took it up to them, tackled hard, pressured hard... and couldn't get it done on the scoreboard.  Those missed shots in the third hurt us as we could have been at least 3-4 goals up and broken their backs.

We deserved to win today so it hurts, but gee we've improved.  If we can be consistent with this effort then we win more games.  Simple.

Special mention to Nathan Jones - he can most certainly have the captaincy back now.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,163]

Effort will only get you so far. You've got to take your chances. We need to win one of these games and I think then the dam will break. Just gutted we cant get one over the line.

I've seen some dodgy victories over the years, but never one so undeserved or so clearly umpire assisted in the last quarter. And yet as always, nobody is accountable. We deserved to win, we should have won, and yet we now go into our fifteenth year without a win in the west.

Yeah was out standing mate, couldn't have played better, hitting targets crisp, lace out 15 metres away.  3 votes Ding

[beelzebub 23,328]

Can't wait for the presser 

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Cost ourselves.

 

should have won quite easily, but too many missed chances, no-one to blame but ourselves.

[Emerald 1,744]

Dishonorable loss

Agree, maggots robbed us. So many frees in the last 1/4. 

 

[Whispering_Jack 29,951]

In 12 months time we win games like that by 5 goals.

Yeah but he always costs match turning goals! Pathetic!

[Vineytime 847]

Had our chances and lots of them, didn't take them.... Simple. 

[Generation dee 1,336]

That hurts so bad. To go to perth and dominate at every stat? Wce have never faced that pressure

And we lost. Gawn shouldn't have been on the mark at that last free against him, we missed too many shots and we just lacked a little cleanliness going forward in the last third. 

That hurts in a big way, but that is proof that this team of on the right track. Go home tonight proud of your club because we are going to be a force. There is no doubting that. We are going up . Next year when we play there we will not be intimidated as we know we can do it. Today hurts, tomorrow the sun comes up and we prepare for next week. We are so close fellow demonlanders

[The heart beats true 18,123]

The boys looked shattered - and they should be. They need to remember that all preseason. Work harder, for longer.

All these people asking about final quarter fade outs need to remember most of our list are 4-5 preseasons behind the team we played today. That's why we lost. That simple.
