Game Day QUALIFYING FINAL V COLLINGWOOD, 7:20PM @ MCG

[Dancing Potato]

Gawn did everything he could. So did ANB.

**** the rest.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Such a winnable game and we couldn't take it.

**** being proud of the fight.

 

[Topkent]

Can't play one quarter and expect to win.

We didn't even play well, did the exact same shit we'd been doing all night except Collingwood completely stopped. Same long dumb bombs inside 50 but Collingwood had nothing left to counter us. Last qtr was just as bad as every other qtr.

Fristch, Kozzy, Rivers all out on the full, Tmac miss. Genuinely shit ourselves

 

[Callum87]

Melksham would have been the difference.

 

[mrmonkey]

Two missed opportunities cost us the game.

I reckon the 3rd quarter cost us badly dominated and did even break even. If we are within 3 goals we probably win

 

[Johnny Karate]

If some idiot posts stats about how were top 6 for premiership metrics or expected scores they can stick them up their arse. Tonight was typical Melbourne; stupid, unskilled and inefficient enough to lose to anyone anytime. Carlton likely dump us out next week.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

How does Viney have one tackle in a final?

 

[Charlie_s123]

Too many ****ing chokers when it wa on the line ... Rivers, TMac, Fritta, Kozzie, Trac, May all had moments where they seriously shat themselves when they could have given us the advantage ... you can;t overcome that many weak momennts

 

[Clink]

False hope is worse than no hope at all.

 

[Headless]

Tough to take that one.

 

[Bluelegs]

Couldn't even kick a handy point

That's our gameplan though. We keep it in the reserve to beet them in the last 5-10 min of qtrs 2-4 .... we just shit ourselves this time. That's it

I hate expected score, meaningless stat.

If we'd even got as point for like 6 of those OOF we'd haver been in it. But no ....

Winning the territory battle gives some people just as much joy as winning a qualifying final does.

Predictable. Same shit game plan from 2022 that saw us go out in straight sets

 

[Demon4123]

McDonald and Laurie out for the next Final.

McDonald and Laurie out for the next Final.

I genuinely forgot Laurie was playing ... seeya kiddo

 

[Headless]

Almost couldn't script a more frustrating game.

 

[Mich0]

Almost couldn't script a more frustrating game.

Time to sack our forward coach. So much for “Defence and contested ball wins you games”, well tonight it didnt.

With pick 14, Dees select..

 

[Jimi]

So flat. At least now the club needs to acknowledge our forward line is and has been a mess and ****ing do something about it

 

[Charlie_s123]

Almost couldn't script a more frustrating game.

Who doesn;t enjoy 3 quarters of incompetence followed by a spirited comeback neutered by incompetence in the dying minutes

 

[Clink]

TMac was absolutely horrible. Our season finished with Melksham's ACL

 

[Charlie_s123]

TMac was absolutely horrible.

If he'd kicked his second shot he might have got a pass, but missing that cemented him as completely ****ing out of the side

 

[mrmonkey]

They tried but our forwards keep getting injured. At least they're trying to bring McAdams in
