Choked in my opinion 

Making a habit of it.

Dominated most of that game but our forward half entries were shocking.

Why we went with 4 medium talls in JvR, T-Mac, Fritsch and Smith when we haven't done it all year and then leave a key defender out I'll never know.

Agree. Smith and McDonald should never get another game. But there again who do we replace them with. ?

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

 

who is sick of McRae  smily silly fool      I am going for Brisbane

Losing a final with + 32 inside 50’s.

How is that possible?

We don't have a forward line, at least not KPF's. Losing Petty and Melksham is going to be the difference.

Pleased with the fightback. 

Bad kicking loses games every time

Tmac wasn't a good selection 

But we can still do this

Pies looked bog ordinary when the heat is applied Cox and Mayonnaise are sniping dogs

Who's next?

Poor reactionary comments

How is that reactionary? We had 32 more inside 50s. We could not score. End of story. 
It’s the same issue we’ve had all year.

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 trice over.

Line in the MCG turf. Not doing straight sets.

Played like we were at Casey training for the first quarter and a bit. 

 

Had we played with the intensity and aggression of the last quarter from the beginning... well perhaps it would be a different story.

Your comments about wishing players do their ACL next week was what I was referring to

My kingdom for an imposing power forward in the Tex Walker mould. This is a must this off-season. An actual forward to coach the forwards would also be a good start.

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

All three lost by a sub standard performance from our fwd line.

I don't want to hear about entries being poor.

Where were tge leads or pack marks?

I het Fritta being quiet. He's played two games in half a season.

Jvrs not ready yet.

Tmacs cooked.

Kozzie panicked. 

Chandler  mia.

Smith ok.

It's last years finals all over again.

Ridiculous amount of inside 50s but struggle to score.

Unfortunately we're just not making the most of our opportunities with the list we have. 

This will be the one we look back hard and cost ourselves big time.

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.

Too late, why can't he prep them to have that intensity from the start?

Selection this week has been proven wrong, specially Laurie and TMac.

Double the inside 50s Collingwood didn’t win that game we lost it, I hope that really burns in the players guts, if we can somehow make it to the grand final we will smoke them that I have no doubt, if we don’t Brisbane will and wouldn’t surprise me if pies lose a prelim the most overrated team that the media will pump up like there is no tomorrow, absolutely ropeable with that loss

Brayshaw may not play again given his concussion history. 

Edit: this season

That's a bit tough to say that when we do not know what has happened to Brayshaw yet don't you think ?

Maynard better get 3 weeks.

It was bad enough losing Melksham  but we probably  would have won with Gus not going down.

Goodwin has gone from 5 - 1 in finals, and now on the brink to be 5 - 5.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
