Autopsy So so so close (Please read OP)

[noideaatall]

Sad but I can handle the loss. Did well to get there, plenty of good signs for the future. It will remembered as the gf we thought got away, whereas west coast will see a chance the grasped and won. Good fuel to fire a team to come out and win a few in a row.

 

[Demonalke]

Love our club. Next year!

 

[bunter]

Choke.

Bs

 

[CanadianPie]

Worst part is supporters from other teams giving us crap for being Pies supporters... I reserve the right then to be a right campaigny terrible loser

 

[Jonno94]

Out marked all day, star players very poor. All that needs to be said really.

 

[Moore of the Same]

Proud but shattered. A lot to be said about the game and some individual performances, but that's for another time.

Keep feeling like this is all just a bad dream.

 

[Chronz]

Pathetic day by grundy, pendles and sidey. Your loss. Everyone else was great.

 

[frizzle]

It was ours and we dropped it.

Grundy?
Pendles?
Sidebottom?
Aish?

You gave us nothing.

I'm proud of the club for the year we had, but absolutely shattered.

Exactly. We have played West Coast 3 times & every time our mids have lowered their colours.
Adams can hold his head high. The other mids not so much.

Bad luck guys, would have been deserved winners had you held on!

Losing in the dying stages is tough, but work hard this pre season and come back stronger next year. Use the pain as motivation to go one step further in 2019 .

 

[jackcass]

lol at those who were excited for the same three umps from last Friday. They were terrible last week and they were terrible today.

But as I feared, if they were going to win, it was going to be close.

Midfield lowered their colours in a massive way.

Umps were fine, got a few wrong but certainly didn't favour either side.

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

Proud, rise above the haters we can stand tall

 

[Chameleon75]

Was on their terms after quarter time, looked like they were going to crack us open but we kept hanging on. Cox was good in the second half, kept us in it I thought.

 

[DWil6]

One of those games that we would have stolen but as usual in the big dance, we don’t. Grundy was good on the ruck but quiet around the ground, Sidey tagged out of it. Their marking prowess won the day quite simply. Although their innacuracy and the howler by the ump in the dying minutes had far too much to do with the result.

 

[left at home]

We just were not good enough to hang on in the end, they worked us out at stoppages, while totally disappointed, still proud that we were two minutes from, not to be. There’s hope for the future.

We tried to hold on after qtr time, oh well im proud of em

 

[TheStigxo]

Don't get many better chances at as flag being 29 points up in the first quarter.

This is where people will say that we will be back, and no doubt we will. But making a GF is hard and we will fall away next year.

Hopefully we do a Hawthorn after 2012

 

[Kick It 2 Me]

We were grand, coming from where we did. Kudo's to all the players, they really gave their all. A shattering loss but that is part of our DNA. I love you all, supporters, coaches, players. You really did your best and I am so very proud of all the boys.

 

[Steeleyourself]

The boys played out of their skins for how tired, worn and ****ed their bodies were, the fact the drug ****ed shits of the west needed 3 umps to just scrape over the line is absolutely ****ing shameful. I stopped watching anything but collingwood games since the Essendon drug shit, stuck fat and still loved the sport, but today tastes a shade of shit I didn’t taste in ‘11 ‘03 and ‘02. Knowing that the maggots of shit finally decided the outcome of a grand final has shattered the last goodwill I had for the shambles, corrupt and disgusting organisation known as the AFL. My love of the black and white kept me from walking away completely, but this has finally done it, I can’t even begin to think how I can watch a game and not have “corrupt money grubbing ****stains” constantly echoing in my head. I’m done, will be buying league pass for NBA or putting collingwood membership money in savings instead, not because of the Black and White but because I can’t, in good faith, let even a cent go to the AFL while they continue to be such a rourt pile of miserable crap.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Sorry guys was cheering hard for you guys. It’s a shocking feeling but you’ll be back.

 

[cityslick1]

Umpires did just enough at the right times to get the eagles the win.

Aish did nothing. Moore or Reid would’ve been much better in hindsight.

Pendles has lost his touch and should hand captaincy over to Adams.

Goldsack constantly caught behind kennedy. Constantly

Mayne was good, as was De Goey.

Grundy back to tapping to opposition.

Energy from last week just not there for long enough.

Feel so sorry for Bucks. Life is cruel...

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Absolutely shattered

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Sad

Our history seems laden with losses of such nature.

Great effort all season, but at the end they played better for three quaters in reality and we just gutsed it out. Like we have all year.

Just that last little bit more required today.

And sadly it all starts again.
We may not even have a chance like this again.

So close, so far.
Elite sport.

 

[Vicky Park]

I hate this long walk after a GF loss, up the hill through Yarra Park and through the Fitzroy Gardens. I absolutely hate it.

We were pretty well beaten by the better team. The final score was not a true reflection of the difference.

Thanks for the year Pies. We’ll recover and move on. The experience was invaluable for our young guys.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Thought mihocek was worst on by far. The amount of times he would blindly blaze into the 50 straight into west coast hands...
