Best choke of 2024

[Doc1763]

Has to be GWS because of the importance of those games.

Honourable mention to Freo.

Yeah, they would be feeling pretty sick right now.

David King for choke of the year by constantly shouting down the Lions & Fagan.

Throw Lloyd in that discussion as well. Bagged them all year.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Throw Lloyd in that discussion as well.

Lloyd at least tries to back it up with some statistical analysis, King just says rubbish like Fagan coaches bad and wins.

Nah, negative all year to Briz.

has to be the Giants, they were smacking around the Swans and Lions in both of their first two finals then decided "yeah we don't like playing four quarters of footy"

 

[Toump Ass]

Melbourne, on and off the field. What a basket case.

Make a thread about basket cases if you like, this is about choking.

That said, given your club received 3 All-Australian's in F/S, a solid NGA player in Quaynor, favourable fixturing, and are the biggest club in the AFL (with all the rewards that offers), I'd say your performance this year was every bit as pathetic as ours.

Yep. They led for something like 250 minutes of finals footy and went out in straight sets.

Look at all those other teams choking this year

Why are you complaining about F/S?? You got Woewodin and Viney - LOL.

 

[Doc1763]

I suppose Melbourne’s choke has been more of a slow burn.
Win Covid Cup
Out in straight sets
Out in straight sets
Implode

 

[Toump Ass]

They had the game won and Daniels misses that goal.

Forgotten about that. What a shocking decision that was.

 

[Mister Dog]

Surely Brisbane’s round Zero choke against the Blues was the worst?

What was it? 48 point up and lost.

I'm sure they really regret that.

 

[hawkman]

I'm sure they really regret that.

If they didn't lose that they probably don't get a bye for the 1st week of finals

 

[blueiris]

Every team that played the Lions in the finals this year apparently choked according to the Victorian media

 

[steviewonder36]

Swans went into the GF with injured players again, thats hopeless for the 2nd time in 3 seasons.

Heeney wasn't fit, and neither was McDonald.

 

[Wojcinski]

1. GWS - had both finals in the bag but instead went out in straight sets
2. Richmond - 4th oldest list and produced the worst H&A season in the history of the game
3. Sydney - Was so far ahead of the competition they were paying something like $2.20 for the flag in round 16.

Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing really.

Brisbane doing it the hard way against quality teams might have been a blessing in disguise, the second half of Port/Swans had all the intensity of a mid-season home and away game. Not sure that's good preparation for "big dance".

 

[Hawksboy72]

My boys...blew a 7 goal lead against the power and a 5 goal lead against the giants...classy stuff....

Doesn't get much more meaningless than round one though. They absolutely pumped you when it mattered. When was the last time a team scored sixty to zip?

Geelong was worse than GWS. You were a few goals off a flag after being up by 20 at half time and playing 5th in a home prelim against an interstate side. It can’t get any worse.

Yeah it could. We could be you.

Not nearly as beautiful as the blues first half in one of the only final games they have played this century. Hipwood saved them from donuts in the half with only a minute or 2 to go. Was comedy of the highest order especially the blues board where they sooked it up reporting anyone that liked a post or commented. Such campaigners.

That's literally the policy on any opposition board you turkey

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Sydney in the grand final. Just wow
