We’ll beat the cats in week 1

We won't be in the top 8 at the end of round 23. You can quote this for the rest of the year for all I care, but we're missing finals. 

[Beetle 4,531]

My wife sat in silence after the game and (seriously) told me I should start following another team. She’s seen this scenario too many times”

”I [censored] can’t!”

That was the end of the discussion....as I absolutely obliterated another stubbie.

He seemed to be hurting more than anyone. Was Touhy his opponent??

No, but he did launch a torp late in the game rather than go sideways to halt time

The 'whingers' actually care about the club and long for success.  Losses hurt.

You are the fakest supporter I have ever seen.  And you are by far the worst poster here.

Mum let you stay up late to watch the game sweet pea

The whingers whinge

You would have no appreciation of the word support

We blew it, every suppoter is disappointed, some just don't need to make the post about them

My health is literally suffering as a result. It's a fine line between being obsessed about loving your club and having your life revolve around it to the point of misery. I had to walk out of a party and sit in isolation tonight after Geelong kicked 5 in a row to start that final quarter because I knew exactly what was coming. Why should I put myself through such embarrassing anxiety?

I've literally started and then deleted this reply a handful of times already, and am still not sure what to say.

Obviously you're a passionate Melbourne fan, which is great - but there's something very wrong with footy having this degree of impact on your mental health.

[CityDee 738]

Proud of the boys tonight - little things to work on .

would have moved frost earlier to tomohawk  and evened up the numbers . 

Loosing Twice to geelong who are not that good but have some great senior guys . 

The little things . 

[BenJamin on Deesy St 805]

Just got home from Geelong. Took us 40 mins to get out of the god damn car park. Excruciating. Game reminded me of ‘87 pre-lim, but this time it wasn’t me bawling my eyes out, it was my daughter. Just horrible. Put this game together with Round 1, the Port and Saints games, and that’s the season - missed [censored] opportunities.

Seriously!

Go drive the team bus home or better yet, tell my 10yr old son to stop crying. 

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.....CHAP!!!

An opinion about the impact on themselves, we all watched the game

Gee I hope you are keeping your son up to speed about what he has got to face in life

 

[billyblanks29 184]

Geelong kicked 8 goals in the last quarter. They kicked 8 to three quarter time. This wouldn't happen to a Richmond or Sydney.  There's a mental weakness that allows this to happen.  Simply say no. That's enough. No more. 

I won't let it happen again. We beat cats next time and the crows.

Hogan is told, and like all good players, to take most of his marks from the front. When you run into a dirty, old bunch of has beens like cats, when a good young player tries to play in front, with no protection from a maggot he will get kneed and scraped all the time.

He is still learning the trade and will develop his engine.

He might be directed to play in front but he rarely does it.  

 

Tonight was one for Bad Jesse - played from behind, poor pressure & went to ground too easily.

No, I’m merely suggesting that you’re on the wrong forum if you think anyone agrees with you that winning isn’t everything. 

In life it may not be, but in football, it is. 

If you’re not playing to win, then what the hell are you doing?

I'm out of your group think group. I hope you enjoy being around those that are the same as you. Must make you feel safe and comfortable without having or allowing any diversity in your community.

Weare mentally soft. I have argued this time over time over. That was not there to lose. I dread to think what may become of tht result.

It does and we do remind me of Richmond last season and historically. For years they were a mentally soft club and even last year lost a string of games they should have buried. Eventually though, their leaders said enough is enough.

I don't think it was leadership that lost it for us tonight though. 

2 hours ago, jumbo returns said:

We just lacked leadership in that last 3 minutes

Lewis was the only one trying to marshall the zone

Not true. I don't often stick up for Jones, but I was at the game and he was doing a lot of marshalling throughout the last quarter.

We know you dont care if Melbourne wins or loses, you have admitted that yourself.

Makes it even more gutless of you to come into the post match thread and call people whingers after a loss like that.

 

[Winners at last 5,150]

So predictable. Sadly I won money betting on Geelong. 

I also put money on Demons finishing outside the 8 @ $4.50.  That was a few weeks ago. I suspect those odds have shortened since then.

Did we put an extra behind the ball when that expletive Hawkins tore us a new arse hole in the last?

Nup.

Goodwin fail.

Yep. We did. Fritsch. Who was terrible all night and cost us 2+ goals and almost another on the stroke of half time. Problem was, the spare played the goalkeeper role. Probably the right move given its importance in the modern game, but it was never going to trouble Hawkins. I think Frost simply should have been moved to Hawkins earlier, but from memory, he didn't kick another goal once Frost went to him.

In what way is it acceptable to lose with a 5 goal lead going into the last quarter. We have every right to vent.

4 goal lead, but I agree. The bloke doesn't understand football, I'm afraid.

He knows he lost his team the game. At least he cares. Look at what he has written on his wrist. RUN!

He nearly won us the game tonight, and instead he probably lost it for us. It's a tough pill to swallow.

My wife told me to leave the house as I become a madmen & get counselling as she has seen the impact to my health over the last 30yrs.. 

[WERRIDEE 5,346]

What a pathetic performance from Hogan in such a big game!

I'm lost for words discuss.
