monoccular

No doubt given that we deserve prime time games we will get to be away team v Carlton, Saint and EssenDung. That will enable a Gillon to stand up and say we are being treated equitably.

✖️ A natural winger needs good disposal and marking ability

All that artificial crap, add the EssenDung air raid siren, is just further Americanisation of our game. If you want that synthesised nonsense, go to the basketball. Or 20/20 cricket, or the ridiculous preseason game with the sparklers and rectangular field (can’t even remember what it was called. - JLT or maybe IDC)

I was going to go for Colonwood, until I saw that obscene shot of Eddie and Gillon embracing at the end of the PF. And the lingering sound of Gillon saying that we need Colonwood to succeed. F them both, even if it means WCE taking the cup. Collusion and corruption has infiltrated all aspects of our society from politics to sport.

Agree 100% re Frisch as a wingman. It is a pity that injuries (and Hunt’s inability to get back to anywhere near his best as a HBF) forced him to go back to an unaccustomed rôle then dropped for the PF due to match ups. I hope he can get a full preseason working on the wing HFF rôle and not be forced to fill in where, though he performed admirably, he could not be of best value to the team

Hunt will need to lift and reinvent himself. I was a big fan ...... hopefully 2018 has been marred by injury from which he will recover.

What a sad final week of an otherwise good season. How Melbournian

True but doesn’t help.

I think that Hawks non free for the sealing goal settles the question. Blatantly corrupt. No question .

FMD in fact FMY Overrn by Hawks cant bloody convert How Melbournian

Maybe he is not yet ready either.

Certainly zero intensity from Jeffy

Throwing this game away with shocking conversion

The Hawks only need to get a finger on the ball in front of goal to be paid a mark.

And I always thought that it was WCE who played on ice.

Proudly finished fourth

The team - overwhelmed by occasion AND thanks for season

Think again after the emotion has settled. Absolutely nothing like those two capitulations. Do they still have a pharmacist on staff? I agree - just overwhelmed by the occasion, and probably by the ups and downs of the past 4 magnificent weeks. We certainly did - nothing went right for us. Slipped over, missed handballs and receives, ball bounced poorly etc etc etc

Exactly Far too many posting here today want to throw the baby out with the bath water Take the positives out of the season I am certain that I will get accused of accepting mediocrity but if one only looks at the negatives one will go back to square one

Yes I am gutted But we are a long long way ahead of where we were a year ago - have applied magnificent pressure the past month and have just burned out

Let’s not let this debacle degrade us or define us Many many positives from the season but mentally and physically overwhelmed on the big stage. It happens. We have come a long way. Time to move on and look ahead to how and where we can improve.

First comment re the maggots who have not been influential but how in the world was that NOT a reverse and a report for that matter.

Any updates on Fed Square? Decent screens?

Corruption and collusion at its finest, even by AFL standards

Our frenetic pressure beat Cats, Hawks, WCE and GW$ He tri d and failed several times to milk frees that he would often have got ..... locked the look of amazement. Rather like Selwood, Dangerfield, Hawkins and Ablett when they missed out on frees they felt that they surely deserved. So many incorrect disposal not paid both ways Surely not IF we win this week and next!
