POSTGAME: QF vs Collingwood

[dees189227 11,016]

We kept them to 2 behinds in that final term. We had chances. Friita, sparrow and Pickett all kicking it out on the full. 

Max botching his pass and his shot for goal earlier, Langdon selfishly taking the advantage when he didn't have to in the 3rd quarter. Pickett missing some easy ones.

Trac went missing. Oliver's kicks went nowhere & van Rooyen realised finals is a whole new level

Yep, there was a potential goal for Kozzy in the 2nd. Fritsch didn't Shepard the defender, touched.

A goal to.put us back to 10 pts and with momentum change in the 2nd.

There was one in the first as well.

He smothered and then put a shoulder into Gus' head.

Can't wait for the AFL to rule it as him 'protecting himself'.

 

He might get a week for the head butt on viney not a good look

I would do it again. Maynard is a serial thug. He lines up players. Same with Cox. Bog ordinary footballers who deserve some of their own medicine back. 

 

OK, not going to argue but just think wishing potential career ending injuries is a bit too much.

Hope Gus is OK and able to play in the preliminary 

[Soidee 1,496]

Bomb bomb bomb....so damn predictable and I start to wonder about intelligence of who keeps this going. 

[Monocology 1,108]

Spray town & we let them take it. 

We must collect ourselves - hard road now but still believe in us this year.

Had 2 touched and 5 ducks. What a player 🤮

Mate they even interviewed N Daicos, not even playing. The darlings of channel 7. 🤢🤢🤢

[John Crow Batty 8,305]

With so many inside 50’s, Spargo could have been a difference with his smart forward play. He should replace Chandler next week.

[BDA 20,619]

Our bomb it in strategy just has to stop. I believe in this group of coaches but can someone please coach our forwards to lead and our mids to lower the eyes.

If we’re still doing this rubbish next year serious questions will have to asked. It’s just unacceptable for a finals team to have such a basic forward 50 plan. I know we have players out but it’s been the same strategy when everyone is fit. I’m sick of it. Same old story. Sort it out ffs.

He won't get suspended for either. He's not missing a prelim for that

Gus copping a concussion could also be career ending! 
Maynard lined up a guy going into open space running full tilt. In a [censored] helmet because he’s had a long history of head injuries. It was a pathetic thug move.

Don't know why chandlers been gifted so many. 

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,007]

How much time did Trac have in the F50? 

Fugg all!

 

[masterzak 10]

Sometimes no choice is the best choice. Grundy will now play.

If Pies can mark those bombs why couldn't we ?

We certainly  had like 30 more than they did.

I’ll just leave this here:

Goodwin: “In finals, your vulnerabilities are exposed”

Our vulnerability is our ability to score. It’s been our vulnerability for 2 years, and we thought we could fix it with an old forward who hasn’t played AFL footy in months

He has to go along with Laurie.

I'd bring Spargo and Jordan in

To be fair we ran out of options. Petty and Melksham going down left us with nothing else. 
We need to move heaven and earth to get another forward.

So why do you want Cox to do his ACL?
