Don't worry Tom Lynch will straighten you up next year I reckon.

See ya, Zop!

Unfortunately we were beaten in the middle. How we lost by only 5 points in that scenario is amazing and somehow very Collingwood.

Sums it up for me Kirby.

Very Collingwood like also to lose it with two minutes to go.

 

[Baird]

I'm sad lads. But still proud of the team for making it so far

 

[jmac70]

See you next year people. Maybe.

Take care.

I know, how awesome was that? I’m still in shock that we all won that, mind blown.

My grand-daughter and daughter also got tickets, same bay.

GD was shattered and in tears though after the game, apart from hugging, nothing I could say to her.

Typical Collingwood GF Loss Really CFC2010

We in a Grand Final that we probably should not been in. Start Very Strong to just get Pipped at the End.

This what started the Collywobbles

I might skip watching the replay.

Then leave the site.

Wishing cancer and death on people is unacceptable... people have lost loved ones to cancer.

Pull your head in.

Truth spoken, and well said at that.

I watch a lot of footy and I call it as I see it.. Collingwood was clearly robbed of a grand final today due to the wrong decision on the play that ultimately decided the game. I've watched the tape and it's quite clear, quite clear...The winning mark for goal for West Coast kicked by Dom Sheed was based on a blatant shepherd on Brayden Maynard from Willie Rioli. Maynard had ZERO chance on that play thanks to Rioli pushing him out of the contest. If you watch it, Rioli actually pushes Maynard away, turning him from Sheed. Even Cam Ling said it was a shepherd. Not a good way to decide a grand final...after seeing the Bulldogs & Tigers win in the past couple of years the Eagles post-game celebrations whilst happy, weren't as full on.. the sub text = they knew they had stolen it. And what about that grub journo from The Australian Peter van Onselen calling (see his tweet below) Joffa Corfe a "f-wit" after the game in his Twitter feed (the coward has since removed the tweet)... some people don't know how to be humble when they win..Absolutely full of admiration for your club and what you stand for on and off the park...you''ll be back

 

[Chameleon75]

Amazing season guys, reckon no one had us two.

Commisserations.

I think the game proved that the two sides were worthy grand finalists

 

[Moore of the Same]

See you next year people. Maybe.

Take care.

Hope we do jmac, you're a star.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

I think Grundy played on and got caught

Looked to me a duplicate of when Mihocek conceded the 50m. Both players marked and tried to use their momentum to play on.

Not quite.

The Colliwobbles started because we lost games when we had a supposed insurmountable lead

Read: 1970 44 points up at half time.

Dave, please mate.

 

[Go Woods]

Don't worry Tom Lynch will straighten you up next year I reckon.

Steve May will smash him when we play you.

 

[dansa]

Too gutted to post anything other than to say..

Chris Mayne and Tom Langdon can be very proud of their efforts. Absolute warriors today and deserved so much better.

And good4footy ( ± family) & ThePhantom777 were really great people and blokes I'd have a beer with anytime I saw them at the footy. Shame it wasn't under better circumstances.

 

[Maggie5]

Sucks but IF Eagles kicked straight in last Qtr we would of Lost by 2-3 Goals. and Outside of Start they out played for 3 Qtrs

Sad to see us lose like that but I say the Better Team Won and they have had our Number in all 3 Games.

Was Super Pissed after Win but after bit of Relflaxing I felt proud how we went this season. Miles better then I ever thought.

Plus getting that close to a Flag with not being close to our Best Team is a Huge Effort.

Some Players I think be Disappointed in there game today and they where

• Grundy - Still a Huge Fan but Vardy and Lycett did a number on him. They did the Same thing vs Gawn last week and I think that is the Biggest Reason they won the Flag as there Rucks stopped Grundy and Gawn Influence
• JT and Miocheck - Tried Hard but thought both was Beaten
• Pendles - Does not look like the player he used to be 1-2 Seasons Ago
• Cox - Yes Kicked 2 and Took some marks late but out of that was Quiet

Here are the Players I was very Proud Of"

• Mayne - I was a Massive Critic this time last year but I really thought he played well
• Adams - Massive Game and was our Heart and Soul
• Sier - Was Patchy but did some really classy things
  
• Stephenson - Excitment Machine but being a Rookie was bit Skinny/Not Strong Enough to have more of a Influence
• Langdon - Disposal gets me Worried but was Huge taking Marks late in the Game

Though the loss was a Typical Collingwood GF Loss - Getting Pipped

Great post Dave, one of your best and agree with you even how good a game Mayne played.

 

[Adz]

How do you get over the hurt?
How do you pick yourself up? How can you go back into the office on Monday? How do you enjoy summer knowing what might have been?

 

[Baird]

Do the Melbourne and Richmond supporters not realise how stupid they look trolling us?

 

[Gymnorhina tibic]

I'm done.

 

[Shuestar13]

Commiserations just doesn’t do it justice. Your club’s performance this year has been first class on every level and the performances in the finals, wow. You support a great club and I have no doubt you are looking at another extended period at the top end of the ladder. All the best to you, commiserations again and thank you for grace and kind words, supporters of certain opposition clubs could learn a thing or two there.

 

[No SPIN]

If your team was up by 29 points, and lost. Is it a choke or not?

Don’t beat around the bush. It is, what it is.

Not if its so earlier in the game.
Chokes are usually defined as losing after holding a comfortable lead LATE in the game.

Why don't you piss off - you're the type of loser that pats people on the back for finishing 2nd.

Keep slapping the players on the back for a good game, a good year and finishing 2nd.

We lost, full stop! Cannot be happy with that.

Dermie talked about the loser mentality of Collingwood people when he joined us - said we were too happy to congratulate players for poor performances....they detested finishing 2nd and they're success spoke volumes for their mentality.

Continue being a loser - you're good at it.

Like I said find another club - we certainly don't need your support to win the next flag or your immature whinging about how bad the club is if we lose a 28th.
And no one here has forgotten you Vehement anti Buckley ranting from earlier in the year.

 

[Seedsfan]

Hope they don’t go out and celebrate. They had it in there hands and they let it go. I am always proud of this club and the fans I was at the live site today and the attendance was amazing.

I am proud of the playing group for exceeding everyone’s expectations this season and making the grand final but I am so bitterly disappointed and hurt seeing them fail today from 5 goals up.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Lads we should be proud of what we have accomplished this year. I know it's hard now, I feel it. But we shouldn't jump back into the sack Bucks mindset. We have been outstanding through adversity this year. The future is bright for Collingwood.
