Game Day Round 22 vs. Sydney, SCG, 7:40pm Friday 09/08

[Ctracks]

Game was lost when WHE kicked out on the full

And when noble went long, kicked it oof, instead of going short to Beau in the early part of the last quarter.

25 points up with what, 10 minutes to go. Desite any umpiring, we just shoulad have won that game. i said to the Mrs at that stage if we kick one goal, we win. We didn't and we didn't. Sucks as it should have been such a good win.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Pies look at the ball. Deliberate.

 

[bucksisbest]

To be honest I’m not overly stressed about. I think we wouldn’t have made the 8 even winning all 3 games.

We weren't making the 8.

But we made sure of it by pissing the bed once again, when we were in control of a game.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

We were playing against 26 even before the umpires decided to abolish the 50m rule.

Apparently insufficient intent is a thing even when it’s going out and you’re trying to keep it in, but the mark has been banished from Australian Rules as a concept.

Also, Blakey can just run into whoever he likes with the football in hand and it doesn’t matter if he gets tackled and drops it. He is playing to a different set of rules to everyone else.

That one against Cox in the last qtr was the funniest.
He was actually doing his best TO keep it in.JOKE

 

[DWil6]

Last 3 games last quarter scores 1 goal to 3, 1 goal to 4, 1 goal to 5.

 

[Piewithsauce13]

As much as i would like to blame the umpires. That was on coaches and players alone. Leading by 27 points 14 mins in you should never lose that.

Wasn’t the umpires fault that lipinski fumbles the ball. It wasn’t the umpires fault that we fail to man up all the ****ing time. It wasn’t the umpires fault that we panicked and shat our pants every time a Sydney player came at us. It wasn’t the umpires fault that we make a sub with 47 seconds to go. It wasn’t umpires fault that we got absolutely torn to shreds in the middle at every contest in the last.

Just poor from a group of players that had no composure in the end.

Now off the the ER to get my hand looked at, plus also in the market for a new coffee table!

Game was lost when WHE kicked out on the full

Game was lost in last quater when umpires gave Sydney 3 doubtful frees and did not pay 50 to McStay when his man was over the mark !

Another week were the scumps change their interpretation of a rule, (deliberate) and we get screwed because we play on the Friday night.

We play slow ‘save the game’ football and stop scoring.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

As if that cost us the game, the negative defensive final 10 minutes did.
The coach has been sensational for 3 years, that’s just a shit comment

As usual, we were out on our feet and being over run in the last quarter. We use the sub with 47 seconds left.
I know you are one of the happy clapper posters but it's a bit rich even for you to defend that coaching gem!
The coach has been ordinary this year as has the team. If you want to live in the past go for it but don't try to tell me I can't call it as I see it after a woeful choke like that!

 

[Magpiemack]

That was 50

100% clear as.

 

[soreplums]

On the bright side, Sidey was better tonight

Very rarely works in this day and age

 

[MagpieJoel]

12 frees to 1 in the last apparently.

Cheats.

 

[Ctracks]

This win by 3 points, lose by 3 points week after week is getting old and depressing. Seriously, why pick a sub and bring them in the last minute.

 

[MagpieJoel]

100% clear as.

Ump lacked a spine when it mattered.

 

[Magpie_man]

A shame that De Goey got injured last week. We have him this game we would have won.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Another week were the scumps change their interpretation of a rule, (deliberate) and we get screwed because we play on the Friday night.

Seriously may as well just pay last touch out of bounds. It’s become absolutely laughable.
The umpires are generally just seduced by the home crowd over the fence.

Who would you have replaced?

 

[Magpie_man]

 

[ksardog]

There is no debate here anymore.
The bloke is shit. I think we have enough evidence.

This recruiting reminds me so much of when we got Barry Mitchell in the early 90’s
It has just stunk from day one

Yeah but it’s not cool to judge umpires decisions and say they lost it for us…because apparently umpire decisions do not affect players mentality during the game and overall momentum

 

[ksardog]

And when noble went long, kicked it oof, instead of going short to Beau in the early part of the last quarter.

Yeh, had to handpass to him
Another brain fart moment

 

[Piewithsauce13]

oh well…. Off to watch the Carlton game from last week
