Review Round 23, 2024 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

[dlanod]

Anyone having a slapfest with other posters have a high chance to have a day's break to cool down.

 

[Sproj]

I know I'm harping on about it but surely Bailey has to be dropped after that. He cost the Lions the game on more than one of those glaring occasions.

 

[StevoJenkins]

Writing a line through this season.

If we do make finals, we're not making it to the end. Can't play like this for a whole season and expect to get into the granny.

 

[Mr Ripper]

My godfather so many unacceptable-by-professional-footballers moments in that game, team and individual. Sick in the stomach.

 

[dlanod]

5 shots missed in front of goal.

Fly sooking it up last week about umpiring for us to cop that this week.

That was the difference.

The number of forearms across our heads that were all legit was stunning. Andrews giving away a free kick for a punch on the ball while Morris gets his arms ripped down on the other end ended up feeling like par for the course.

 

[haystark]

Essendon will beat us

Hopefully. And hope for other results to go against us so we can bury this season. We'll just embarrass ourselves if we make finals.

I’d prefer us to miss the finals entirely than limp in in 6th or 7th and do **** all anyway.

The losses are so predictable and the patterns repeat themselves every time yet there’s no change…

I think we will miss finals

 

[FeastOrFamine]

Monumental effort to get to where we are on the ladder after the start we had + the injuries. Seems like 2-3 months of playing catch-up has come back to get us.

Extremely disappointed but can't say I'm surprised with how the game panned out. Too fragile mentally and sorely missing some best 22 players.

 

[DreadBat5701894]

Our window is closed for the next decade after tonight

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Oh well, at least next year we'll have Kiddy and Payne back, and Levi in. Better chance for a flag.

 

[Ceebee]

Just shattered to be honest .

 

[Sherrinator]

At some point these shots on goal need to be addressed. We’re kicking ourselves out of the campaign. Rayner’s miss and Daniher’s i’m convinced out single biggest weakness is our players mental strength.

It’s always been mental. Not enough players with fortitude.

 

[Shaq attack]

Can’t wait for another Fagan masterclass in the post game presser.

 

[Helicon1]

8!points thrown away in two games.
So many missed chance two week in a row. Should be second. Stay fifth.
Hawks will flog us first final.

 

[beatnik]

Only yourself to blame boys, yet another lesson in taking your chances when they're presented.

We butchered chances no doubt but the free kick spree in the final 3 minutes was something Tim Donaghy would have been proud of…utter bs

Yep then Lachie gets injured

 

[Sproj]

It was so frustrating at the end though where Ashcroft gets dumped on his head and play on but a Collingwood player runs into our player nowhere near the ball and gets a free.

 

[lionsrules]

Daniher miss and then the Bailey holding the ball. It was there. Those two moments were the game

 

[Section 5]

It appears no lessons learnt from last week in both the players and coaching group.
Looks like a home knockout final for the lions.

 

[DreadBat5701894]

Looks like a home knockout final for the lions.

I doubt we even make finals

 

[Sherrinator]

Should’ve been 4 goals up and none of that shit matters. Shouldn’t be second to the ball all the time.

 

[Gadzorks]

Ffs

 

[martinson]

We put up with everyone telling us how good Rayner was going to be for 5 years ,then he plays 4 really good games and all of a sudden he's a superstar.

Not picking on him because he's still a good player but we need to get a grip on some of the guys who need to really toughen up.

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Worst possible way to end our top 4 hopes, of course it had to be a heartbreaking loss against those grubs.

 

[dlanod]

Hopefully. And hope for other results to go against us so we can bury this season. We'll just embarrass ourselves if we make finals.

Sorry but I spent a decade watching finals from the outside. In that time several teams won premierships getting hot at the right time. If you're in it you can win it, and I don't want to go back to the years of futility that it seems like so many want to embrace.
