Roost it far

You could easily argue that we lower our eyes 2 more times and we win the game. I think there's a bit of panic that crept in and we don't have that one beautiful user who could lower the eyes and lace out a forward. Salem's drop off has cost us. Would have loved to have seen him running forward with the ball in hand in the last quarter. I really hope kickers are on our shopping list this Spring.

That’s an incorrect observation

Love the enthusiasm but what a terrible call. 😂

Well he just kept at it, I was happy to give him the benefit of the doubt but there’s a point where it becomes ridiculous. Anyway he’s been ignored by me.

I’m pretty sure if Bedfords action had led to the Blues player being knocked out cold for 2 minutes he’d of got 3 weeks.

I sit in the MCC and got tickets today. I was hoping I’d miss out but it was my turn to get them for other friends. I’m sitting in the boondocks on level 4 and if some blues numpty gives me any unnecessary, abusive grief I’ll likely lose my [censored].

I almost cried looking at this. Imagine if that was your son?

Apparently he’s got 2 of them

You can't kick up a fuss over Maynard and then expect your player to get off for unnecessarily elbowing a guy in the head in the same match. You look like an [censored] doing that.

It's close to insanity even thinking about doing that. FMD indeed.

I don't have any more growth available when it comes to utter contempt for lawyers. I hit max contempt 25 years ago.

It was a brutal loss

I'm getting the tickets tomorrow and I'm not sure Id care if I missed out. Sitting with 60,000 rabid Carlton Fans is my idea of a nightmare.

I'm not sure you want to see, it'll make you rethink that our method is fine :) Honestly though it's not hard to drag out 2-3 incidents where players make a poor decision in a game of football. I do agree that we could afford to be more attacking considering the quality of our defence.

Gawn can play 60% ruck, 20% forward, 20% bench.

Put a grand on for me, you can take it out of the winnings

I skim watched the other games but not after half time. Melbourne or the games a bust for me. The handling of the Hawthorn fiasco was the final nail. They were more worried about their star coach than a community of ex players. Disgusting.

Not sure I agree, Petracca was on the move and a well placed handball was an option.

Backing off? He was streaming forward with eyes looking straight ahead with only one intent, kick it long. This is our problem in a nutshell

Watch the replay and there’s a dozen clear better options within the 50 that players either ignore or don’t see before they bomb it long to no one. I’m with you for most of what you say but method is also an issue. Even Brayshaw’s kick that saw him ironed out would have been better as a handball to Petracca. It’s those things that we fall into that hurt us continually.

I imagine it’s Grundy because he’s got the experience over Turner. As I said if they play Turner I’ll show up but I may look away at times. TMac was ok for a player in his position. Kick that goal and we’re GF bound. He’ll most likely stay in. But Brown is clearly cooked and rolling him out would be too much for me to handle. I’ll be honest, Thursday cooked me to an extent. I don’t like losing but losing to Collingwood, who we are better than, really hurt.

I’d wind it back if they could. You can’t play 2 lumbering, immobile, not match fit 31 year olds with a long history of injuries, who’ve barely played all year in a cut throat final. Grundy has to come in and if he doesn’t and they go with Turner I’ll still show but I might look away at times!

Our connection is poor because our mids continually butcher the ball and they know that so they thump it long without much thought. Only Viney has made any real effort to lower the eyes and he was quiet on Thursday.

If we name BBB and TMac I’ll be staying home on Friday night. Also it’s little wonder the players are a tad flat. They blew a golden ticket to a GF, lost a best mate, quite likely for good and are now thinking “sheesh, this could be straight sets again” I’d be taking swings at poor kids with hands out for high fives if it was me. Not to mention it’s Sunday freaking morning!!

Exactly why it [censored] me to tears when clowns on here so we don’t play for each other. What utter tripe. So do people want Petracca to faux wrestle Collingwood players after the incident? Wow that’s just so tuff. You let the football do the talking and for most of Thursday night we had them right where we wanted them. Sheesh I’m annoyed we couldn’t finish a bit better.
