Fork 'em

Who ya trying to kid. We woulda kicked it out on the full.

100% When he kicked his goal I thought he was a beast of a mid. Haven't taken notice before.

Giants are feelin' it.

C'mon Hogan and Green. .... And Bedford.

As they say, If the Hat fits ......

Our mental fragility goes back alot further than our last 4 finals. Think decades.

Our brand is boring, monotonous and un-attractive. If I was the media I'd wouldn't either.

I'd like the club to make less noise in general and just get on with it. I don't wanna hear what they wanna do. I just wanna see them do it. Cause what they're sayin' and what they're doin' are different things.

I've reminded people before the AFL is a business posing as a competition. And in the AFL business the best way to boost profits and therefor trigger various executive bonuses is to have the biggest clubs not only winning, but winning finals.

Someone stated in the game day thread early on after a couple soft decisions that the "Fix was in." As the game wore on the the more obvious it become. Especially in the last. But at the end of the day, we forked up. The game shouldn't have even been close. Like boxing, if ya KO your opponent the crooked judges are taken out of the equation.

Very forken disappointing.

Most of the side can't kick to save their lives and the 3 most accurate goal kickers were sitting in the stands. Petty, Melk and Van Roo.

What a waste of top 4 finish. So annoyed. Same ol' mentally weak sheet. A whole list infected with the yips.

Don't forget we were ever so close to a monumental choke in that game as well. Make no mistake, we was staring down the slippery slope there for awhile.

Sheet. Gotta tell the missus to turn the TV down. I can hear 'em talking about Carlton in their 1st prelim for a million years yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm on another media ban for a week.

Bevo got the Dogs a flag once too.

Here I sit broken hearted, Paid my penny but only farted.

100% I actually hate watching our players celebrate goals like they've just won the game half way through the 3rd qtr and it's 6pts the difference. Max gobbing off to the opposition ruckman before he kicks the goal etc, etc. Even listening to radio before the game they were saying that all the money was for Melbourne. Only 7% or so for Carlton. Soon as I heard we were raging favourites I got that ominous sense of doom because the club can't handle expectation. I hated the pre-finals pump up propaganda video the club put out. All the talk of winning finals in Melbourne and then losing the next 4, out in straight sets 2 years in a row. Max "bullish" again this season. I could go on and on. All the clowns at work telling me for 2years we'd be out in straight sets. And we prove 'em right. Cause we're chokers. These days I struggle for the motivation to drive 700km round trip to watch the scrappy, boring, unattractive game Goodwin calls "The Melbourne way". Yes they win more than they lose but it's god awful to watch regardless of the final score.

Performances like last night. Embarrassing stuff.

Hasn't been the same since Maynard cleaned him up in the Duck/Dinner game.

I feel for the backline. All their hard work butchered at the other end.

Cause TMac was about to explode.

Chocco's certainly not doing the learn to kick footys he's trying to sell any favours. Staffords gotta go. He's had years to sort this forward line. But hasn't done anything. At all.

That's the point. To prove it wasn't. That they're not wasting a window. Which they are.

9pts up, 7mins to go and we decide to play the clock. Then scurry around like chooks with their heads off for the last 45 seconds after they sheet the bed. Anyway. This could go on all night. I'm off to bed. Disgusted. Oh .... Better drag that flag down off the front fence 1st. Hope no-one noticed it.
