POSTMATCH DISCUSSION - Round 18

[Lord Travis 10,763]

This club is [censored]. How the [censored] did we stuff that up?! 5 goals up in the last quarter and let them kick 8 goals in a quarter after restricted them to 8 for the whole match prior to that point!

When will we get some decent onfield leaders?! Why were our leaders not spreading the word to slow it down and ice it in the last 5 minutes?! The same mistakes for decades, nothing has changed. We may even finish with a worse record than last year and wind up going backwards. Unbelievable. 

Get [censored].

You don’t know what you’re talking about, we lost because Hibberd and Lever are out and Goodwin didn’t move OMac earlier, plus the umps were [censored] pathetic as per usual 

Okie dokes! So we won't win one more game as long as lever and hibberd are out! Got it! Ooh ooooh and as long as umpires are umpiring !!! May as well [censored] off up to the hoo harrr eh!

[Dr.D 1,771]

This loss as well as the Port loss are reasons why we won't make finals. You just need to win them. Understand momentum. Take the sting out of the game well before the last 5 minutes. Do it at 8-9 minutes left. Understand momentum players, bloody frustrating.

Apart from the result that was the best game of the season by a mile.

Hocking and Dill should leave the game alone.

No offence but don't think many Melb supporters are worried about state if the game right now. ?

[SaberFang 7,151]

That was it. [censored] forget finals. We're not in finals this year, so start booking your September holidays. Not dumb enough to get my hopes up like last year because we're so predictably shithouse in our ability to totally blow up fan expectations when all signs point towards success. 

[censored] this club and [censored] Goodwin. 4 losses under ten points. 3 losses under a goal. That's NOT acceptable and that is on Goodwin's head. Enough of the apologetic [censored], this is entirely on the club. [censored] them.

Unsure what everyone is ashamed of? 

They had a brain fart for the last 20 seconds. 

If you think they aren’t improving you are delusional. 

I am gutted we lost but a lack of effort is inexcusable and you could not doubt that.

the journey is a long and winding road.

The brain fade happened when petracca marked with 90 seconds to go not 20.

There were a lot of reasons why we lost but I think that if Michael Hibberd had not injured his quad in the last moments of training during the week, we would have won and won well.

The min he's called as injured...I thought this game a very hard win...as Oscar, improved as he is would get opened up. I said that. It happened. It's not his fault.

Particular players need to make better decisions; kicking to advantage is not the forte of some. Kicking anyway intelligently is beyond a couple ?

I didn't think we'd win tonight before the game. I'm very annoyed we haven't...but only because we ought to have taken the choccies.

Some poor ideas re set up...that aside it was as much poor decisions by some ( those in 'white' esp ) 

Geelong took better advantage of their opportunities in the last... We dikked around a bit.

It was actually a very finals type game. We lost.

Bring on 19... we're done here

[Tom Dyson 1,633]

absolutely gutted, can't believe we could choke that hard considering the dominance we showed in the third quarter, borderline tears on the couch after the final kick, we were the better team all day and deserved to win. I can't believe they continue to disappoint their fans after everything we have been through. next week......

What a pissweak defensive effort. Hang your heads in shame. 

That is it. We cannot defend. 

Who cares if we have a % of 115 if we only have 11 wins

it is pathetic

Once again. We should have won that game by at least 4 goals

 

Not impressed with Goodwin thus far

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Great game. Shite result

Should've been Fri night instead of St Carlton

[layzie 34,151]

I am absolutely [censored] done with this. How much crueler does it have to get? How much lower to the pits of despair do we have to plunder? The best thing this club has taught me is to never be content with any lead. You lead my 23 points going into the last quarter? Doesn't matter, treat it like its level and try to kick the first goal, then try to kick the next goal, and the goal after that and the goal after that. That is the only way I know how to follow this football club. There is never any room for 'comfort'. You can't be 23 points up and be content when the opposition kicks a goal. No, there is never any God damn room for comfort with this club ever until the friggin full time siren goes and even then you have to hope some a'se wipe didn't take a mark. Seriously, how much more of this dog excrement bullcrap do we have to put up with? I was told repeatedly after Round 23 in 2017 that it would 'burn in the bellies' of these young men. Where the hell was that in the last minute? I don't want to hear any more stupid stories about no pain no gain and 'this is the loss they need to become better' seriously pull the other one. This football club has had enough of those losses and lessons to last a lifetime, it is time for some darn action. 

At half time in the game day thread I wrote that it had a feel about it similar to many of those games that we had the edge in and lost. The port game. I even referenced a game from [censored] 16 years ago where Farmer killed us on the siren at Subi. Seriously enough is enough. I and many others are completely at their wits end with this kind of thing happening over and over again. It's been 12 years and this Mt Everest of a task that teams seemingly make year after year of making the finals is getting beyond a joke.

Melbourne, you will always find the way won't you? You won't snatch it from St Kilda but you'll always find the way when it matters most. I haven't given up hope. Mate, when you're out of it for 12 years you'll take what chance you can get buf I can not back this team to deliver the goods when it counts.

I am sorry, I know a lot of you have other things in life aside from football like your families and partners. I'm in my early 30s, single and put a lot of my energy into this football club. It really damn hurts just that bit more when you feel you have little else. Criticise me if you want I don't give a toss right now.

Personally I thought Petracca taking a mark then slowing it down only to kick it 40 metres 60 metres in the air to a contest lost us the game. However he’ll learn plenty from that. No Viney hurts. 

Fn oats it did could have wiped off a minute before they manned up.
