I’m stuck in a typhoon. The sky literally is falling. God dammit Melbourne, you have cursed my life!

bloody angry. i hate looking at the ladder we should be well entrenched in the top 4 but instead have lost 4 games by under a goal. im including the port game in that. 

the players need to understand momentum a lot more. chip the bloody footy around for 10 mins for all i care. just do whatever it bloody takes. i wanna play finals one day!!! fu#k im furious!!! I dont give a stuff about the rest of this season anymore. the port and stkilda losses was more than i could handle.

So am i. Be careful

Tell that to my team that just lost with a kick after the siren ????

Just hoping I’ll be able to get out of here on Monday.

I think I've been pretty measured tonight. 

I don't see why you need to attack me but hey, have at it if it makes you feel better. 

Give me a break we were great tonight we are just a bit young and lack a bit of composure. They were always going to come back Geelong are a good side.

Hopefully we learn from this it burns in the guts and we smash Adelaide if we play Adelaide the way we played the Cats we will smash them.

How much does Viney's injury hurt? Well we have to play JKH so it hurts a lot.

I don't know it all, but I know to not bother conversing with you in the future if this is all you have to offer. 

Cheers. 

To the Hobart dees supporter behind me, a fellow 28 year old, this burns in the guts as a Dee supporter that has lived in ocean Grove and dealt with all Geelong supporters all me life: this [censored] hurts! You almost got kicked out because your flag broke- the injustice is real. Two games; two after the siren loses. Bailey Fritsch was epic tonight I dunno whether to be happy or heartbroken and giving up hope for 2018 like I am.

This club will be the death of me. I’m being serious. Repeat......this is not an overstatement.

PS - send out a search warrant, Hogan has been missing for the past month.

No worries.

Calling like it is.

I am out on tuesday!!!

this is NOT a group that is supposed to be livid about missing finals last year. Thats 16  premiership points we've pi$$ed against the wall.  we're only as good as our bottom 3 players nd geez omac, tyson and Kennedy Harris were poor. Hogan needs to just start being strong and stop falling over at any gust of wind and petracca and garlett need to know about football iq

Pumped to be a demons supporter tonight. I didn't think that 22 had that kind of game in them. That was Kardinia with an Ablett, a Tomahawk and a couple of Selwoods running around and we put on a classic of the ages.

I didn't think we could make finals. After tonight I'm sure we will.

This was probably our second most winnable game in the run home. 

Still have not beaten a side that matters. 

Maybe we fall into the 8. Maybe we don’t. Either way, this is another year of wasted potential. 

In over 20 years  as a Policeman I've seen many tragic things,

domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, suicide & numerous homicides.

lovely teens getting hooked on drugs whose parents I'm telling  a few years later your child died from an overdose

finding a helmet at a motorcycle crash only to realise the riders head is in it

a father killing himself and 4 of his kids to get back at his ex wife.

FFS some of you seriously need to get on the reality bus. The boys gave their all tonight and we came up short.

Am I gutted with the result? Yes as I'm disappointed with a few crucial mistakes.

What I am tonight though and will be tomorrow is happy with the boys effort. The junior side I coach plays tomorrow and I will ask them as I do each week to put the effort in and if they can come off the ground and say they have given it their best that is all they can do.

You can't always be the best but you can always give your best.

agreed. it baffles me how players in this day and age dont understand how to manage the clock. to be honest, i come from a basketball background and anyone who understands that game knows that it is a sport that goes down to the split second. where players foul in an effort to stop the clock or even foul to deliberately send the other team to the free throw line in an attempt to get another offensive play. then you watch our game and you have a guy like garlett not getting the ball out of bounds and using his brain. what an idiot!

with all due respect, we are clearly talking in football terms here. this loss is tragic, in a football sense. yes, there are things that put things in perspective. 

reality is, you've got fans that seem happy with effort and progress (i refer to them as the goodwins) and then you have fans that are just so sick and tired of being an average team. so tired of losing and never playing finals. So tired of the cliche 'come out next week with real determination' etc. i'm sick of copping stick from friends, colleagues and even family for years on end for following a below average team. All of this for a lot longer then most of the players would even understand, except for nathan jones. 

At the end of the day, a likely 9-11 finish would deem us as a below average footy team.

Go and read about Jason Mcartney who thought missing a GF through suspension was tragic.

He realised in Bali what tragedy really was

I’m sure the good teams spare a thought for this kind of thing, the difference is they get the job done. 

I've followed this team since 1968.

Serial losers/disappointers.

No wonder MFC is a laughing stock. 

There will be blah blah blah from the coach and players. How they're hurting/will learn from the disappointment etc. Hmm, I think I may have heard that before ...

Switching off for the rest of the year. After the Hawthorn loss said I wouldn't switch on until we've won 4 in a row. 

I came back and it has been a rollercoaster. Rushed home after a nice dinner out with the wife to watch that rubbish. 

Making an effort to do dinner and drinks, or see a movie or something for the remainder of the season. Working during out later afternoon games in Melbourne, which makes it easy. Normally I would rush there and arrive just before quarter time, but [censored] that.
