POSTGAME: SF vs Brisbane

[Demonland 72,213]

Out in straight sets!

[darkhorse72 1,920]

well that [censored]!

[MrFreeze 1,966]

Only have ourselves to blame, very gettable game and year. 

[DaveyJones'sLocker 647]

How many times did we get done for holding the ball inside 50 this year has to be a world record. 

[von 1,567]

I’ve not seen us looked that gassed before. We had nothing left to give.

[BDA 22,755]

I’m gutted. Tuning out for the rest of the the weekend 

[GCDee 3,199]

[KingDingAling 3,758]

Just a lesson in football. Brisbane, like Sydney last week, were just far superior to us. Luckily we got a good start but that wasn’t enough. We have the cattle but without good coaching it’s pointless.

[adonski 12,160]

If Sparrow is in our side round 1 next year we're finishing 12th 

[Wilson7 2,670]

gutted

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Cannot begin to express what a letdown the last two weeks were. We just didn’t concede a huge run of goals last year. 

[Jack7 528]

Cue in the rack at half time cost us!!!

[BW511 2,669]

Doing the same thing every single week for 2 1/2 years will eventually fail.

This has been a pretty pathetic second half of the year, regardless of whatever niggles come out during the week

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

This looked like several other games before, start well and get a lead and then fail to score for a long period. It was classic Melbourne of 2022.

A very weak response when in the defensive and couldn’t get goals to stem the flow. Such a poor performance for when it mattered most.

So many out of form players, need a few fresh legs in.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Probably the most predictable outcome ever. Had all the hallmarks of a vintage Melbourne loss at quarter time.

Surprisingly not that disappointed. Would rather go out tonight than watch us lose against a well-rested Geelong next week.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,241]

Lost it at selection

[Diamond_Jim 12,590]

Going to take a few weeks off football

Looking forward to some good off season analysis

So many learnings

It's not been fun following the Dees this year I'm afraid

[chook fowler 19,459]

Poor selection, poor coaching, poor application. Totally unacceptable to be regularly run over in the second half. Sparrow, Rivers, Spargo, Jackson, Hunt not up to it. Pickett’s I’ll discipline is a real problem. So much for all the talk about wanting to perform for the fans at the G - yadda, yadda, yadda.  

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Failure of a season.

Every single loss was the same where we get out to a lead of around 20 to 30 points and then get complacent and stop trying to win.

No imagination with team selection or style.

Half the team in on reputation while Casey had an all-time great saeason.

[SFebes 4,884]

So embarrassed, what a disgrace, Goodwin can learn a lot from resting players earlier IMO. 

[D4Life 2,475]

Umpires in last quarter 

50 against Pickett up other end goal

soft holding to McStay - goal

Bailey pushed Hunt square in middle of back - goal

Andrews chops Brown arm 15 metres out - no free

just to close out game umpire free against Lever not being tackled and 5Om to gift it

Umpires pathetic influenced result

 

[Jack7 528]

Luke Jackson,now Faaark off to Perth,will be so [censored] if he stays.

 

Viney,no right boot,turnover,season over

 

Lever-dumbest thing i saw in football this season!!!

2022 was a fail

[Lord Nev 13,512]

Lots to it. We were cooked, selection maybe exacerbated it, game plan etc etc.

Honestly think we'll be a lot better next year with improved fitness and luck with injuries.

On to the trade and draft board we go...

 

[Deesprate 1,324]

It really is inexplicable it has to be linked to fitness preparation. But the complete lack of football common sense and flexibility is astounding. Seriously we are back to the bad old days. Massive chance we slide down the ladder.
