Getting psyched!

Getting psyched!

Well stop it. I'm attending so we might as well write in the loss now.

I'll come find you at half time and get you booted out if we're looking in trouble to turn the luck around.

Better get on it early, we'll need the time

Thank Christ for Gunston

Edit: and Linc. Not that you'd find me given the MCG only lets you go to certain bays based off the gate you come in at. What a retrograde stadium.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Thank Christ for Gunston

I never doubted him.

 

[TaylorMade]

What was the go with trying to ice the clock with around 15 - 10 minutes to go. Just let them back into the game.

 

[M Malice]

Massive massive choke, we tried to close it down too early, we have done that a few times this season.

Top 2 gone now.

As I said at every break the shit start come back to haunt us.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Zorko is cooked.

I never want to watch football again. Heartbreaking

Does it matter. We can't stand up in big games. Absolute pretenders

 

[Sproj]

Well hopefully Fagan notes the bullet again and realises there are just one or two guys in this team who just don’t have it and that is all there is too it.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Well that sucks. Awful feeling. Hard to be unhappy overall though - incredibly competitive effort away against another top 4 side playing the best they have in months.

Won't finish top 2 now, but that mightn't be the worst thing for us.

Proud of the effort we showed tonight on the whole. Step forward, despite the result.

 

[dlanod]

Couldn't hold up the pressure for the whole game without Dunkley, plus Berry underdone. ****.

 

[Warwick]

Have we ever successfully iced a game?

 

[Not a Psycho]

The same pattern of behaviour under Fagan. There's no ruthless edge, won't bury bad opposition, won't put away good opposition.
We play our game in the last we win comfortably, instead we have a result that comes about because of learned helplessness.

 

[Ceebee]

Well that sucks .

 

[FLVanLandingham]

well I am certainly deflated..

I'm giving my vote to Fletcher, Bailey, McKenna, McCluggage and Ashcroft.

and now i'm not going to think about this game for the night.

Lights went off

 

[dlanod]

Have we ever successfully iced a game?

You have. Just not for us.

Edit: oops, confusing long time posters beginning with W. My bad.

 

[Gadzorks]

Massive massive choke, we tried to close it down too early, we have done that a few times this season.

Top 2 gone now.

As I said at every break the s**t start come back to haunt us.

And not just this season. Need to back ourselves to have the legs to run it out.

 

[luthor]

Just numb

 

[western royboy]

You have to win the game - we played into their hands - just negative coaching allowed them to get momentum and in the end the result seemed inevitable

 

[M Malice]

We are now in a dog fight for top 4, with games against the Cats next week and the Pies away to come, that is a terrible defeat for us, we looked the best side except for the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes.

Extremely disappointing loss, I am gutted.
