Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

One bloody point

Never looked like winning at the death, just a comedy of errors and no finesse.

[censored] this corrupt joke of a [censored] competition.

And Daicos you are a soft [censored]. Should be ashamed of your carry on like you’re a ballerina.

FUUUUUUUUCK

CRUCIFIED!!h

Kudos ... umpires.

Protect the species at all costs ... [censored]

I hope May gets dropped. Going Gawn after the siren for his missed kick. That’s not the love Melbourne plays with. Bring back TMac.

We deserved to win that. Loved our intent, our pressure and spirit for the day.

We lost because they took their chances, where we did not.

3 points umps.

We are we so fuccing naive?

Every [censored] time against these fuccwits

You have to take your chances and we just don't.

We lost because we cannot convert I50, a problem that has been ongoing for the last 3 years.

Umpiring was average but this is not on them.

☠️☠️☠️

Dill is in trouble. Got his grubs to get pies across the line. Dill needs big $’s surplus to hide his other failures of which there are many

We are a joke in close games at the death. Just an absolute frustration this mob

4th time in 6 years we've lost on this public holiday having dominated general play

For my own wellbeing I’m glad I’m not there.

A lot to unpack here.

Dainty Daicos is is a deadset protected species.

We were in it to the very end.

Proud of the effort but we are so dumb when it comes to disposal. Umpires were an absolute disgrace. There re 4 of the bastards and still they can’t get it right. Kozzie ill discipline and Fritters selfishness cost us.

And the deciding factor…….the umpiring. It’s a blight on this great game, and the voices that matter aren’t allowed to talk about it.

Great effort. We brough the heat all day

We do a lot right but unfortunately we are not able to get full reward for that effort.

Watch smart players like Sidebottom and pendles. Always take the right option and execute.

That’s the difference.

And AFL. the umpiring is putrid. Not sure why you fat cats get paid when you refuse to sort out a fundamental component of the game. Shame on you

I can’t stand watching this game anymore . The corruption is so blatantly obvious.

They played there part @Jibroni

Don't be fooled.

The umpiring was [censored] atrocious but jesus we are terrible in close matches. We lose basically every game that's decided by less than a goal.

We had more than enough opportunities in the last few minutes

Either the most inept umpiring or blatant cheating.

Either way it was disgraceful.

A blight on such a big game.

Thought the coaching was good, Langdon on Daicos the media darling was a great move. Composure going inside fifty still a major problem.

Also it's interesting how umpires in a number of sports wear the black and white, while in the AFL they just have them play for them.

And how much of an [censored] are you going to feel when you learn he was trying to console Max?
