POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 7

[Demonland 67,234]

Aaaargh

[Schneider 220]

Season done, that's a shame thought I'd get to view some finals but that's over.

[John Crow Batty 8,390]

The good news is we are not favourites next week against Adelaide.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Maybe 2018, who knows.

[Ethan Tremblay 29,363]

Wow wee boy oh boy that hurt. 

[Canplay 581]

Farrrkkkkk.......   

[McQueen 17,864]

I'm just too emotionally invested in this club that games like this absolutely suck every ounce of happiness out of me.

 

This ridiculousness of handballing to teammates when they are in no position to receive it just has to stop. It cost us the game today - particularly in that first qtr.

 

Just gut wrenching. Another opportunity lost.

[titan_uranus 23,613]

It's far too soon to be posting anything rational so I know this will be the opposite, but whatever:

I can't help but feel our season is slipping through our fingers.

[Goffer 256]

Disgusting pea-hearted effort

Rubbish.

As I have said all year, this will be the most even season in living memory.

It's not a great position to be in but far from over.

[Dr. Gonzo 23,018]

FAAAAAAARK

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Again in the end should have won. We just have to learn to find a way.

 

[What 18,810]

Why do we get no luck at all, when St Kilda are blessed with luck every single week?    

We are cursed.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Adelaide in Adelaide next week. Inevitably we will be 3-5 and pushing [censored] up hill to try and gain ground on the 8.

[Dr. Gonzo 23,018]

Another one we "should" have won

What was with the [censored] farting around at the end? Get it in there ffs

[Ted Lasso 17,483]

Geez that stings! 

Can't expect to win many games when we bring the intensity we did in the first quarter. 

We are a 3/4 team at the minute. 

I think the Kennedy Harris and bugg careers at the mfc might be just about over. 

Seriously even jack Trengove with his speed issues would offer far more than either of those two

[Dannyz 2,355]

Absolute liability at the selection table. [censored]!

[dazzledavey36 50,439]

Another wasted year, another year with no finals.

Seriously over this club. We have not learn't a thing from last year and continue to just drop close games. 

Pretenders is all we are.

What was the lack of luck today?

[Maldonboy38 6,312]

Just so frustrated. All the momentum killed off by horrible decision making, a dangerous addiction to unnecessary handball, and being annihilated in the air.

I usually leave my first review of the seaeon until round 8 but that loss has got under my skin. 

I agree with many others that JKH and Hannan are not AFL standard. We must leave behind a reliance on fill-in VFL standard players. That era must end now. 

I don't understand OMac. 1st half he cost us goals, 2nd half almost saved the game. I don't understand Frost - all the dare and dash in the world but his kicking is ..... I don't know how to describe it. 

Oliver - you are a gun but you are allowed to kick. 

Viney - very well done.

Handballing to a stationary target remains a deeply entrenched problem. It emerged late in the Daniher era and we haave never shaken it off. Today was the worst it has been for a while. 

St. Kilda are winning these games, we continue to lose them. 

I hate being a Melbourne supporter.

Can't see us competing for the 8 now. You've got to be able to win games where you're expected to get the job done.

I like our competitiveness but we just have zero leaders when we need them. Recruiting them hasn't really helped - which I suspect is the reason Viney was made co-captain. We need that next generation to come on as leaders and they just haven't at the start of the season. They will, but it's frustrating to watch.

Big mental challenge for the group coming up. Could go either way. I hope some leaders emerge.

[Jibroni 4,591]

Were were not good enough today; simple as that really.  Our 1st half was a disgrace and you cant win at this level playing one good qtr.

 

 

[BAMF 3,970]

Sick of these bastards. I hate the fact that we need to wait for their good players to retire before we will get the best of them.

When the line ups appeared on the screen before the game started I thought that we would be in trouble.

Fkn Burgoyne and Roughead put on a clinc.

Also sick of game day thread d!ckheads writing us off early. Go [censored] off and support a [censored] bandwagon club like Richmond, you will find like minded souls there.

Yeah Lewis took a while to kick, + farting around with it could have been in the 50 with a lot more time instead we enter with 10 seconds on the clock!

[Return to Glory 7,923]

Before I gain my composure, Dom Tyson is a plumb average player.
