Autopsy 2024 Elimination Final Blues blown away in first half. Never looked likely.

[carlton_99]

For a full half there was no effort, no pressure and no intensity. Everything after that doesn't really matter.

Disappointing way to end a season which for large parts looked really promising.

 

[Dramoth]

Fantasia on Zorko
De Koning as sub
Stupid

Umpires interp on high contact
Cheating

The umpires were rancid. There were definitely two interpretations of holding the ball. One for them when it would get paid even if our guy handballed it, and one for them when they could be swung 360, and still not get pinged.

 

[Accidental genius]

Embarrassing loss to a lions side that wasn't that good

real missed opportunity

 

[mochacinolatte]

Finally I can rant.

Coaching disaster class.

TDK should of never started as a SUB. Why the **** would you do that when we got an small FWD line already is.

Dropping Cinotta when he could of tagged, Zorko AA HB it is like the most obvious thing to do is let Cots sit on his face.

Like holy **** Voss and the coaching staff plan going into this.

Shout-out to the following players based on performance tonight.

Acres

Newman

Cripps

TDK

Walsh

Weiters

Young

Absolute got out coach at the selection table.

Edit: I don't know why we persist with Motlop and Durdin when they shown mediocre form. Kennedy is the last person I would of subbed. Durdin/Motlop should of been the subbed to begin with.

 

[RAPPA]

The small forwards are cardboard cutouts. Have offered nothing and took the places of players that put their body on the line. Lions categorically smashed us but we gave them a leg up with poor selections and an absolutely abominable sub choice in TDK followed by Kennedy being the tactical sub. Really summed up the year.

 

[Bongo Drum]

At least Doc got through unscathed

One of few positives

 

[passmark]

Brisbane were actually just average.

captain coach.

We’re coached by a brainless catchphrase generator.

Another decade in the wilderness.

 

[Ahuitzotl]

Where was that second half in the first?

Oh well. A rollercoaster season comes to a very disappointing end.

Look after yourselves everyone.

 

[The_Wookie]

Game lost at selection - although TDK being sub was baffling and was probably a big reason we lost, unless he wasnt fit enough to run out the game. but we did make finals. even just.

Voss can stay. but some tweaks please.

 

[Soapy V]

Poor end to a year that promised so much but never really got going.

Many players went backwards on development

Serious questions/changes to game plan and structure need to be asked along with fitness

I still believe we have the talent but the players either don’t believe or are confused

 

[prisoner777]

What a disappointing end to a frustrating season. Bottom line for 2025 - fix our defensive efforts (our Achilles heel for many seasons) or it will be more of the same.

 

[RedFury]

The end scoreline absolutely flattered us. I'm happy we fought back but we were very lucky to not get beaten by a lot more.

Margin would have been much bigger in a H/A game where percentage matters. Brions were preparing and managing for next week from about the 20 minute mark of the second quarter.

The final margin gives us a nice "hope" excuse story to write, but it's all bullshit. Never in it, and not even close.

 

[kreuze_missile]

After that effort, Corey Durdin has to go on the "never again" list.

1 kick, 3 handballs. Simply not a good footballer.

 

[bigblueboy]

Mentally weak. Physically inept.

 

[serenityNow]

60-0 was just an embarrassment....gotta be honest...glad the seasons over....another wasted year though .... Need a lot of changes for 2025

was fantastic

 

[DamoESP]

As mentioned in the preview thread, game was lost at selection. Nothing has changed from the last 8+ weeks.

Also, I wouldn't have any ill feelings towards Kennedy if he requested a trade after how he was treated tonight.

 

[dumb]

we saved one of our biggest mid-game naps for a final

 

[athensblue]

Tease of a year
Last 2 months is where we are really at
Let's see how many ins Innes can muster for 25
Need a good psychologist at the club as well for the players and the supporters
unfortunately back to watching someone else chase a flag

 

[No1Suspect]

Donkeys against Thoroughbreds tonight

, I suggest you leave.

He was far from our worst player tonight.

 

[KJP7]

Genuine question, what do we make of Voss going to the box and Hansen to the bench for the last quarter? That doesn’t pass the sniff test for me

 

[agro]

After that effort, Corey Durdin has to go on the "never again" list.

1 kick, 3 handballs. Simply not a good footballer.

The subbed out player had more impact.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

We didn't lose this because of the coaching. We lost this because of the selections. There are some guys who shouldn't be out there.

And yeah, I'm watching this shit. I'm not very ****ing happy. But I'm not ****ing calling for the sacking of the coach. Get rid of the soft tissue issues. Get Charlie fit. Get rid of some of the guys who shouldn't be there.

And you want to sack the coach that has got us to finals two years in a row... who are you? The ****ing Pokies king?

The coach with a top 4 list he has mismanaged into the ground? who puts it on his stars to win the game refuses to rotate players and IS THE MAIN VOICE ON THE MC! That coach?!?
