POSTGAME : Rd 19 vs Western Bulldogs

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

No one to blame but ourselves. Some very costly errors and name someone that stood up to their desperation in the second half. Very disappointing to walk out of there with a loss.

[Purple77 1,001]

Please, umpires didn't decide the result.

Dogs thoroughly deserved the win. Played like their season depending on it, and did some pretty impressive stuff.

Still, f**k me May, wtf

[gs77 4,252]

50 points conceded beyond our 60 point target. Eerily similar to sane round last year, dead on our feet and overrun at the end. The difference this year is we're not as healthy and settled, so some huge weeks ahead if we're to be dangerous in September. 

[dees189227 12,394]

They kicked 5-2 to ours 1-3.

So frustrating. And where did Fritta & Weiderman go in the final quarter?

[BDA 22,755]

Dogs were the better team. Much hungrier than us. Particularly second half

We’re not the same team defensively this year. Not sure why.

No comment about the umpires

Let's re-group and go again next week

Go Dees

[Ted Lasso 19,520]

Time to not only send a please explain to the umpriing department but make a video of it public. Every 50/50 decision went the dogs way. It was the most indisputably biased display in a long time and the club needs to act. The umpires beat us, not the dogs.

22 to 13 TKO

Seriously at what point is something done about it. It’s beyond a joke now. I saw a dozen throws HTB , DTB and none of them were paid. Not 1. 
 

We are not undisciplined , but the dogs seem to get the run every week without fail. 

[Blue-and-red 91]

We lost the game through some poor coaching and play - obviously tired after heat last week but play a helter skelter game all night too the point it caught up with us, poor thinking

got too also wonder at what point do you man up on a player that kicks 5 goals on you ?

[demon3165 2,724]

Absolute disgrace, a game that should have been won, remind me who is the midfield coach is we were lucky Trelor went off the ground subed out, once the dogs tightened up in the backline they knew we only going to go down one side of the ground again, unless they start to change course we will struggle to win the flag playing this way.

[adonski 12,200]

Put Jackson in cotton wool for the rest of the year so Freo don't cold feet

Well done to Weid for having a good game but not sure how he goes missing for such long patches without even seeing him (and why Goodwin plays our only key forward for only 72% game time)

To conclude, shoot Harmes out of a cannon

[bush demon 2,041]

Melbne player tackled = instant free kick to Footscray. Footscray player tackled ie Bontompelli = eventually gets ball to advantage of another player. Umpires gifted 4 points tonight.

[D4Life 2,475]

Screwed by AFL 6 day break vs 8

then screwed by umpire’s 

[doc roet 1,287]

Million dollar Jacko - Laughable.

[Jaded No More 68,965]

Putrid. We could easily lose the next 4 games if we can’t even beat the Dogs. We are in horrible form. 
Gawn is playing hurt and it’s costing us. Apart from Oliver and Petty, we haven’t had one player this year play good consistent footy and deliver week in week out. We are missing the spark and hunger that got us the flag last year. 

[BDA 22,755]

No point focussing on the umps. Yes they were a factor but the loss was mostly down to dogs hunger and our mistakes

[Jibroni 5,004]

If Kozzy kicked the last opportunity we probably would have won.

Our forward line was a shambles in the 2nd half.

Times running out now.

Our game plan is still a mess because teams have worked us out. Get us through the corridor and we're cooked.

 

 

[SPC 3,551]

Not sure I really understand the holding the ball rule

That was not the problem let's not make excuses.

So Brisbane and Geelong both get challenged and manage to win. 

Melbourne lead for most of the game and then chuck it. Give it up. We’re not doing anything this year but making up the numbers.

Correct way off the pace play one final and put finish 8 th.   The loss is dedicated to May.  Mouths off at team mates   I bet a few cannot stand him. Then makes a Clanger that just cost top 4.      We will one more. 14 wins and out first week.   Maybe next year we can hit top form again.     They can never take last year off us buts this hurts after winning 1 st ten games.   Freo at freo loss the golf th a loss. Possible Carlton one maybe.     Brisbane at Brisbane loss. 

[loges 6,767]

Does anyone know if Weid was off the ground for long moments at a time?

[layzie 33,834]

I don't want to leave the ground yet. Might just sleep here tonight 

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,703]

Carrying on like they won the GF.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Even with the shoddy calls we still had a couple of chances towards the end to get our noses in front

[Little Richard 6,264]

What TF was Gawn thinking grabbing the ball out of the ruck on the flank... dumb, dumb, dumb. Too many stupid errors made to have won that.

On the other hand, would have been a great game to watch for neutral fans and Jamarra's goal at the end was epic.
