Autopsy Sydney Legacy in Grand Finals continues 10 goal loss to the Lions

[Kbroome]

Yeah. We need less flashy players and more grit.

Half back flankers don't win premierships, contested beasts do.

The sad part is everything that could have happened in the regular season broke our way.

• Even in our losing streak we were 1st on the ladder. Blues falling apart as the season went on saved that.
• Other teams up and down in form throughout the regular season meant they were competing hard for other spots in the top 8.
• Injuries to other teams preventing them from getting going. Lions went through 4 ACL injuries to those in the best 22. Meanwhile we got an almost injury free run until the 3/4 mark of the season.
• 2 SCG finals, not having to leave for a long time.
• non-Vic team in the Grand Final.
• Facing a team that came back from 25 points down and 44 points down the 2 weeks before. Lost OMac in the prelim.

Guys, I don't think we could have asked for better circumstances. If we cant win under that, I dont know when. Maybe this is really it for the coaching staff.

 

[The King!]

I think they actually have to admit publicly that they have choked multiple times and there is a problem and they are going to fight against it.

i was off whoops long walk to tassie

 

[bloodsbigot]

We have like literally zero excuses today.

We had every advantage ever.

Yet we still found a way to lose. I don't know how but we did it.

It starts at the top. Sorry. We gotta cut off Longmires head for this.

 

[RampeRobe]

Try being a Bills, Arsenal and Swans fan..

Jets and swans for me

 

[ShireSwan]

Cox might be reconsidering theWCE job now

And they might be reconsidering him

I really hope he goes there.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Rampe is cooked

So sad to admit but yep.

 

[Superstar swan]

Out of respect let Longmire retire , but he should be terminated

 

[Swansujelly]

Just give them the cup before the game even begins

sound as a pound Baby..laggert...

100% agree

There is no bigger choke than this honestly maybe the SA cricket team in world cups can be compared to.

 

[Nuggetz]

Lost in the coaching box

They should, but they won't

 

[kickthething]

I am trying to sum up my hurt with this and have narrowed it down….. I just wanted to be proud of my team today.

Yep. It is impossible to be proud of any aspect of the team today.

 

[scaryness]

Hopefully we get an emotional apology from Heeney on twitter to really calm us down

 

[GreyGooseGuy88]

Second place is first loser.

Horse really does have to go I’m afraid and so do some of the assistants. Swap Hinkley thread ?

Swap horse for Clarko

 

[bloodsbigot]

**** you Dunkley you cvvnt

 

[ShireSwan]

Extremely disappointed is an understatement.

I cannot believe we played an underdone Logan

Underdone, or underperforming?
None of our (let's be honest bottom 4 in the comp) KPFs did much. Amartey created a few contests and got it to ground, Mclean took a few marks after the game was gone. McDonald isn't good at either of those things. Would our gameplan be better if he were, or the other way round...iDK.

 

[ShireSwan]

Swap horse for Clarko

Things will NEVER be that bad we have to do that.

 

[tombomb]

Hate Dunkley. That traitorous campaigner.

I respect him, because he plays well in big games.

 

[dn41]

I’m very much a reader and not a poster.

That was my 6th grand final and I’ve now seen 5 losses. Think this one is the most disappointing.

Thought if we lost, it’d be close. Never expected that. What a waste of a season and what a waste of money buying tickets!

This is it, I just wanted to be competitive, win or lose, but unfortunately we shat the bed once again

 

[Stu1961]

Horse has to go

Something needs to change Definitely the Clydesdale Bring in a quality coach from VIC and I think we need a couple of players with genuine mongrel
