One of the all time recruiting blunders under Goodwins coaching tenure. Stevie Wonder could see that it was never going to work with two genuine number 1 rucks in the one team. Get whatever compo we can for Grundy and learn from this lesson.

Nick Watson and Zane Duursma

That was exactly the Tom Sparrow game that I've been pleading for. He was pretty much our best mid all night and I hope now he uses tonight game as a stepping stone into next year. If he plays like that regularly each game next year then our midfield will be okay. Stick lacks quality depth but it's guys like Sparrow that we really need stepping up next year. Also quick shout out to McVee. Did not one look overawed in the occasion in this year's final series and certainly embarrassed his more senior leaders around composure and being calm in the crisis. 25 games this year is a great development year which will only hold him in good stead over the next few years A future 150-200 gamer in the making.

All I got out of that is that we'll be active come trade period. Though, he's answer to the non use of Schache was bizarre.

Lever was one of our best tonight. Him and May are the reason we lost by 2 points and not more. Maybe point your frustration at Viney who had zero composure all night and just completely banged it onto his boot straight to a Carlton defender. For a guy that supposedly thrive in big games Viney has been sub par in the finals campaign the last 2 years. Him and Oliver were putrid tonight.

McDonald should not be in the same conversation as those guys. He's a VFL plodder who was only playing purely because of no Petty and Melksham.

Yeah he's absolutely butchered that all you now that you mention it.

I don't know, maybe I was oblivious but I thought at times he was getting better at rolling players through some weeks. Last week's decision not to play the extra tall defender after seeing it so successful this year completely lost it for me. I just couldn't believe he botched it that badly and it ended up costing us. We play Tomlinson tonight and we looked much better defensively structured. Don't get me started on the whole Tmac thing tonight. I need to cool the jets first on this otherwise I'll explode.

Expected score is one of the biggest crock of [censored] in the game. Where was our expected forwards tonight?

Goody completely lost his composure with team selections the last two weeks. Absolutely rattled two the point where I've never seen anything so bizarre as what I've just witnessed. I'm genuinely numb and gutted as well.

Absolutely devastated

What was May thinking.. ..

Judd Mcvee is having some game

Get in the bin Viney

Wow

How goods our goalkicking

Mate he's had a putrid first half. Dinky little 5m kicks that gets directly turned over. Running at 55% says it all along with just 2 tackles. It's Jake Lever, Petracca and May who are keeping us in it.

Viney has turned to Absolute [censored] this finals. So disappointing

Finals chokers. Both haven't played a good final since 2021

We're done. Forward entries and forward line is an absolute crud of [censored]. Getting beaten so easily around the contests

Fancy kicking to a Chandler vs Weitering and actually think it's the right option lol Dumb footballers.

You [censored] [censored] Kozzie

Will be playing on a gun player in Blake Acres

Carlton run out and it's all cheers and roars. Melbourne run out and it's all boos.. FMD make some noise Melbourne supporters!

Not surprised one bit
