Starting like our game last night

Why do we always take the advantage and [censored] it up FFS!!!!

Will need to be up and about to start the 3rd. 2-3 quick goals to them like we let Carlton do and we will be too far gone. Must kick the first!

Had all the play in the second half of that quarter, couldn’t put it on the scoreboard. 33 inside 50s to 23 and we are 17 points down

Why do we never shepherd at the goal line?!!!

McDonald and Fritch need to play on opposite side of the 50, keep spoiling each other

This is just [censored] ridiculous now

CAN OUR FORWARDS STOP SPOILING EACH OTHER FFS

Jeez this is frustrating, wasting so many opportunities with poor kicking and panicky disposal

The footy Gods are shining on us.Had Caleb Marchbank not touched Trac's Goal (we know he didn't) we would've got the extra 4 points and it would be:

 

First Final- Lions V Demons at the Gabba

 

Now It's Pies V Demons at the MCG

 

Absolute Karma Baby,bring on the Pies!!!

Nah it would have been MELBOURNE v Brisbane at the G

Devastated for Melksham.

Bloody hope it’s not as bad as it looks. He’s absolutely earned his place in this team and we need his dynamism 👌 

Did anyone know that Sydney needs this for a home final??? BT just let us know for the 85th time today

Surely kicking out to Kozzie one on one is better than going to gawn on three?

It's the player who make that first decision not the umpires

Only if there is a quick whistle blown in time for the player to make a decision. If the umpire hasn’t blown the whistle for the first free, the player has no choice but to play on because no free has been paid yet.

GET A MARKING FORWARD IN THE GOAL SQUARE WHEN WE ARE KICKING FROM 50 FFS

How about the players stop trying to play on when they are in a bad position. 

All depends on how late the call is, if the whistle goes after the next player has disposed of the ball or is in mid flight getting rid of it, impossible not to play on

Can anyone explain to me why we never have a marking option in the goal square when we are kicking from 50? I’ve called it about 20 times this year, but we never do it and every time the ball falls short the oppo gets an easy mark and clearing kick 

Once again a late call by the ump means we play on and take the “advantage” which turns out to be the opposite of to advantage. FFS I hate that rule

Anyone notice we are starting to run in waves again?

Providing the Lions beat the Aints at the Gabba,we'll finish 4th regardless of a win/loss against the Swans,so it's a Dead Rubber but we can't rest players because of the pre-finals Bye the following week.

 

No team has won the flag from 4th in the last 20 years but

 

Bring on week 1 against the spluttering Pies

If we win and port loose we move to third so it’s not a dead rubber 

WHY DOES NOBODY GO FOR THE MARK WHEN IT FALLS SHORT!!!!

Just lazy lazy football. We have a kick out and literally nobody is running to be an option. Everyone up the ground jogging slowly trailing their opponent.

That was completely pox by us

Boundary umpire is the dill. 

Nobody blew a whistle, why did he just stand there allowing the guy to rag doll him around whilst making no attempt to get rid of it

Viney you dill
