There's a few doing OK in the gameday thread, just thought I'd give them a chance to come in here and let it all out. No questions asked.
Although disappointed it ended like this, we have come so far this year and we should be proud.
We limped into this match, we didnt look like ourselves early on and it cost us. Too many players not 100% + underperforming players against Geelong's classy, finals-hardened, big-bodied vets = this.
But we'll be heaps better for it next year. We made it to a prelim and won a final and won 17 H&A games after coming last the year before, I think all of us would have taken that last yr!

Young Guns Good Effort, Experienced Players Disgraceful
Never have I seen such dismal footy in a prelim, and what a disappointing end to the season we see.
I think the Young Guns tried their heart out and have been overall pretty good. Nicnat amazing, doing all the ruck work and roving his own ball. Shuey had an amazing second quarter and kicked a crucial goal. Darling hasn't stopped working, most of the time has had two players on him but still got the footy. Gaff playing as a sweeping lone player, getting a lot of the defensive ball.
Now for the experienced players, hang your heads in shame. It's a battle for worst on ground at the moment, Cox or Embley. Cox looks to be carrying an injury so he at least has an excuse. Embley should've been subbed off, doesn't deserve to wear the Eagles jumper anymore in this game. Lecras has kicked a measly one goal, Lynch again done nothing. Emac has had at least 6 goals kicked against him, shouldn't have been playing and Rosa should've replaced him. Adam Selwood, not even going to bother with him.
On the other hand, Kennedy, Butler, Waters, Kerr and Priddis good job.
Oh and get ****ed umpires.

Just disappointed that our ferocity at the man and footy which has been our hallmark all year was at our worst in a prelim.
I can forgive getting done dropped marks and poor disposal.
But tackling and intent is a mindset that we brought to every game bar this one

Out skilled. Out pressured. Second to the footy.
I don't think Geelong is this much better than us. For example Collingwood two weeks ago.
Just tired bodies and carrying way more injuries than we let on.

Re: Waters
Those attacking the OP need to toughen up. His disposal aimply isn't acceptable.
We can't get the ball into a position to hurt the opposition, so even if he doesn't turn it over directly.

..and the first Collingwood game.
This game reminds me so much of that game.
The MCG has way too much space for our game style. We need to realize not every game is going to be played in congestion. We need a game style at the G. We put it up to Collingwood two weeks ago but I think our game style at the G still showed holes.

Re: Waters
We had a crap load of people turn it over today, Waters isnt the best disposal wise but at least he wins the ball back. Dont underestimate the pressue from Geelong today as well.

A bad way to finish off a great year, but if it wasn't going to happen this week then it would have happened next week, well done guys on a great year and bring on next year

Re: Young Guns Good Effort, Experienced Players Disgraceful
Pathetic pressure applied today. What was it about 40 tackles of the game ?
Hope to see Smith for A. Selwood next year plus Embley for Rosa

C'mon Geelong are on 4 or 5 preliminary finals in a row next 2 years should be game on. We will develop we will hurt and then when we deliver we will celebrate.
Re: Waters
What he lacks in disposal he makes up with absolute courage and heart, absurdly shit thread

Yes, it was a sad end to a fantastic season. There were many players who couldn't make an impact today, but everyone who was out there today had contributed over the year to us getting there. Geeelong were too strong, skilled, experienced and good. No shame in losing to the best team of the last five years.
Backline lacks speed and Run.
Butler, Water, Selwood one of them have to make way for Smith who can play that role.
Swift, Unfit Strijk are the major disappointments for me.

Re: Waters
Almost the entire team was bad today, not just Waters. It's just that his ridiculous stuff ups always seem to end up in goals. "My Ball... what? Okay i'll just boot it up in the air"
He still played well. Better then Embley, Cox, Lecras, Hurn, Emac and half our team.

Re: Waters
At least Waters ****ing gave it his all. Can't say the same about other senior players like Embley, did stuff all and then when he did get it he wasted goal scoring opportunites by blazing away when he could have spotted up players in the fifty.
