Dr. Gonzo

Because he was such a weapon teams started tagging him and playing the opposite wing. I thought Langdon was pretty good last night barring the two on the fulls.

How was it flukey? Minor premier, dominant all year, dominated the finals series, backed up with 2nd and 4th after H&A next two seasons. Yes we haven't lived up to expectations the last two September's but to say 2021 was a fluke is dumb. I do question how long you can go with the type of coach Goodwin is. I think it's a great culture he's built and the care for the players etc but after 7 or 8 years do the players become too comfortable? I'm not calling for his head, far from it, just wondering aloud whether the message becomes stale.

Naughton would not help out goalkicking woes

I feel exactly the same way as you mate, absolutely gutted. This team is having a laugh losing 4 finals in a row at the G, biggest case of team yios since North in the 98 GF but at least that was only one game.

It probably would've been touched by the Blues player but he should've shepherded it through.

May and Lever were huge (Lever especially early) and McVee was solid. Not blaming them for the loss just pointing out those that had zero tackles.

They clearly had him as sub as insurance in case Max went down because they needed another ruck option but didn't want to name Grundy in the 22. Just dumbfounding decision making by the match committee, they should have brought in Grundy, dropped TMac and put Hibberd or another runner as sub.

Yep that was all us 😂

TMac had 4 kicks, 2 handballs, 0 scores and 2 tackles. I mean, if Schache can't get subbed in for TMac at 3/4 time with those numbers what is the [censored] point of him?

Which one? All the reviews seemed correct tonight

Best side in it, can't win a final in two years 🤣🤣 Delusional

That's part of it! We broke the drought interstate while we couldn't leave Melbourne in front of a rentacrowd. It's all part of the curse.

Same old story isn't it?

For those playing at home Rivers, Langdon, May, Lever, Fritsch, Gawn, McVee

We tried early, didn't put enough goals on then it turned into a scrap. We just don't have any forward targets to bail us out and when we do we miss relatively regulation style set shots way too frequently.

100% TMac was useless last week and worse this week, Grundy could've surely offered something more. You then have the benefit of not being stuck with Schache (Schache!) as sub. Club wide choke from match committee to the captain to the bootstudder (yep even the bootstudder isn't escaping the vitriol tonight)

If Viney's kick goes over Weiterings head we win. He had an absolute nightmare of a finals series after the best year of his career 😞

@Super Sub Schache love the name change 🤣🤣 You gotta laugh or you'll cry We shot ourselves in the foot but [censored] hell that non decision to pay deliberate against Walsh then deliberate against Petracca a second later which they goal from, then a minute later the exact same thing happens where they toe it out of bounds on our forward 50 and it's a throw in I mean what the [censored]? That's the AFL in a nutshell, the rules are so subjective they can choose which ones to pay and which ones not to and they can always claim to be technically correct. I'm sick of it, watch Kozzie get suspended as well even though Cripps played out the game meanwhile Maynard is free to play and Gus misses 2 games the competition is completely [censored]. Wouldn't surprise me to see several others get cited too, Sparrow for slinging Walsh into the fence, Viney taking someone high, Smith for elbowing Weitering accidentally, May because he didn't roll out the red carpet for Curnow....

Lucky we selected an impact player as the sub FMD seriously what were they thinking. Bringing Hibberd on in the last could've been a shot in the arm, nah let's go with the softest player since Jack Watts who can't provide fresh legs cos he could only really sub in for TMac who was just as pathetic. This team are a bunch of chokers, can't win on the big stage. Won off Broadway when we had the crowd numbers because about 30k neutrals jumped on the bandwagon. I am filthy.

Disgusted Mentally soft Even the captain missing sitters Furious at that result, absolutely gutted

Another [censored] call, weak as [censored] comment

Give me a spell, that is a [censored] comment, what kind of supporter are you? Especially after the week we've had.

All these commentators including Garry Lyon can go and get [censored] trying to get Kozzie suspended - Maynard's allowed to KO brayshaw and they all back him in Kozzie bumps Cripps in the chest and the other [censored] flops from a jumper scuffle and they want to crucify him. This whole league can [censored] off.

We simply must win tonight, losing is not an option.

100 not out
