[ElDiablo14 4,991]

Is Kozzy injured? He couldn't kick straight to save his life.

Watch that inbred hack Maynard get off 

I've got my matches and firelighters at the ready.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

3 out of bounds in the last qtr!!

Are we now finals chokers?

Consecutive losses: 3 with pretty poor performances in each. 

Also bugger off Richo and Maynard had no care for how Gus was. Just trying to defend his thuggery. 

So deflated. Blues/swans will know we are gettable. 

Where did we go tonight???!!

Don’t know what to think.

another game where we should have done enough to win.

same flaws as the GWS and freo game.

where are the “learnings”

If Maynard gets off after Bedford got a week I quit football

Maynard if i see you in the street lets just say wouldn't be friendly any legacy your family has with Casey [censored] dead in the water you 

Yep

[Boots and all 1,000]

We somehow need to address the fast starts by opposition sides. I for one am sick to [censored] of coming from behind all the time. 

[Rocknroll 1,002]

Think we went in with the wrong sub.

[DemonicFinalFantasy 234]

Grundy will be practising his set shots all week after this. Van Rooyen one week no doubt.

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Sad that even with our poor kicking we let Pies win tge game in tge first quarter. 

Our midfield and wings were disgraceful in the first.

[bing181 9,193]

And we'll go into the next match without Brayshaw and probably JVR. 

Nice while it lasted, but we are not winning it from here even if we do win next week.

Very selfish from Rivers, why take a 45 m kick when you have players all around the goal square.

Lost in the first quarter. For a team coming off 2 insipid finals performances last year to get smashed at the contest like we did in Q1 is just hard to fathom.

How many teams have done two consecutive straight sets exits? Are we going to add another 'embarrassing record' to our list?

Essendon did it about six years in a row before becoming a powerhouse.

Agreed…Laurie not an AFL standard footballer at this stage

[Wodjathefirst 2,632]

Go Port

[Fork 'em 6,983]

 
That was sheethouse.
Continuous long bombs into a crowded forward line and sheet kicking.
I'm sure there'll be "learnings."
But it won't be from the coach.

No fwd line.

Poor kicking to go with it.

Lots of just games.

Choked in my opinion

Fritta and TMac looked like 2 guys who haven't played for months. And now we have to go the long way, without Gus or JVR.

Tmac is cooked

[dazzledavey36 54,245]

Literally just handed the flag to Collingwood.

Here i was thinking I had full faith in Goodwin, but how wrong was i. We're heading for a straight set exit in finals two years in a row purely of arrogant teams selections and senior players failing to stand up when needed.

McDonald, Salem, Chandler Laurie were absolutely trash.

Petracca and Gawn were the only ones willing to stand up but unfortunately the rest didn't want to follow.

McDonald can honestly retire for all i care. Needed that goal to just completely turn the game and he had a mare.

So disappointing.

I agree, JJ would have been better.  He was barely sighted (On tv) like a few of our players. 

[Grr-owl 1,208]

Wet weather. Play slow. Kick behinds. Lose.

[Webber 10,454]

Effectively killed our season in that first quarter. We knew that’s what they’d bring, more than anything else about the game. Match them, and it was ours to lose. Let them get a more than 3 goal jump, and it would be too much. That we failed to stop them is enormously disappointing and frustrating. But we just weren’t up to it. Hope it’s not a wasted chance at a flag, but it’s sure looking that way. And to any of you saying Collingwood don’t deserve to be where they are now, wake up! It’s a four quarter game.

I felt sick after Gus went down, incredibly tough for the players to come back from that. Could be career ending.

5 mins longer and we likely win that.

Incredibly frustrating game and there’s some hard questions to be asked of a number of players.

Also, Cox is the biggest piece of [censored] going round, the dive into Trac’s legs and then holding it while he twists is so incredibly dangerous

That's the sad truth brother. Fingers crossed for Gus but it's not good news.
