Choked when the heat was on 

I wish Cox and Maynard both do their ACL next week. Trash thug hack footballers. 

Oh that's very decent of you

Ordinary performance!

Made the filth look good!

Disagreed Bitter, except for the first quarter and patches of the third, Collingwood looked very ordinary 

[DeeZee 7,463]

Even a Jefferson would be a better option than most of our forwards at this stage.

Melksham going down was a much bigger disaster than we could have imagined.

[Nascent 9,336]

T-mac normally kicks those and kozzie panicked twice when he had plenty of time and space to drill those snaps. Poor kicking is poor football.

Make no mistake though we outplayed them everywhere except where it mattered most. If we don't win next week I'll be surprised. And angry.

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.

Brayshaw may not play again given his concussion history. 

Edit: this season

Well those two players are very low class. I don't want to wish injuries but probably Maynard will be suspended.

[Jack7 528]

Slow start killed us,we won the game after quarter time.

3 more scoring shots

Tmac nowhere near this level ATM,i'd drop him for Brodie next week,Maxy forward is a better option than Tmac

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

what about fritsch  !!!!    did he have painkiller in foot or something   surely not staight sets again but will prob face a rampaging carlton next week

[leave it to deever 17,598]

68 TO 37 I50S.

SHEESH.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,346]

Losing a final with + 32 inside 50’s.

How is that possible?

Pies will easily cruise into a GF with a laugher of a home prelim final against Port or GWS. Neither of those sides are going to dominate the obscene amount of territory we did.

Three finals losses, all significant wins on expected score. It's wasted chances versus luck from the opposition. 
should have won that by 30+

Two things:

- We went with the 2 tall backline which hasn't worked this year.

- We went with the stagnant, crowded forward line with long balls which hasn't worked this year.

We reverted to these two things at the worst possible time.

It hasn't worked and continuously gets out coached in big games. Goodwin is still learning but we are being coached to put ourselves in games to win. McRae could see how they were going to win and that's exactly how they did it. We were lucky to be so close, really. We fought back when it was still open for us but we lost it early

 

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

So it's Carlton or Sydney next week and an interstate game the following week if we can win.

Surely they'll suspend that Maynard thug.

Poor reactionary comments

That’s gonna sting. Easily had the chances to win that

Lost brought to you by Goodwin, unfortunately.

What absolute rubbish! We were all over them for probably 70% of that game. They were just cleaner going inside forward 50 on three occasions in the third quarter, that was the game right there. If you cant see that spirit of that last quarter, then hand your membership back pal. A game of moments, that is all it was. They just took theirs we didn’t. Absolutely nothing to do with the coach.

yes Brodie for sure Macca gone  premiership player but done  thanks for your service

[Roost it far 9,747]

Let’s just cool the jets folks. The pressure was enormous from the Pies. We kick a bit better and we win.

Fritsch is not 100%, you can see he is not going full speed around the ground.

Yes I would expect so.

As you say it best not to wish injuries 

[Tarax Club 4,123]

Beyond frustrating, played like merde yet the game was so tantalising close. Two decent kicks for goal was all that was needed, had enough opportunities last quarter to sink a ship thrice over.

Line in the MCG turf. Not doing straight sets.
