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

[kickthething]

They were somehow fresher than us while playing a extra 2 games without break.

No other explanation we must be content with 5 flags in our history

They knew exactly what they were going to get. We were too busy crying with each other because Mills was overlooked, we were mentally cooked …. By our own hand. Defensive Structure killed us, gave us no chance. Let’s hope Cox saw the flaws and now can work on them.

They weren't fresher they were harder.

We were as soft as a felt cushion. Horse had to go

I’m still as angry as I was grand final day.

Miles ahead all year

Didn’t leave Sydney for finals

Bruise free game in the prelim

Non vic opponent who has a worse record at the g than us

They’re number 1 ruck out

And we still got humiliated. You will never ever get a better shot at a flag than that and we absolutely ****ing blew it

Summarised my thoughts too. This was the most humiliating loss I've ever experienced.

Three months on and I'm still annoyed. I think it was the worst team we have named in a grand final and they played like it.

And yet I still believed...

That's the part that really burned and still burns. I felt so bloody stupid for being so positive

Here we go again

I know. I can't believe people are talking about the grand final in the grand final autopsy thread.

I prefer to look forward. Not backwards. What do they say, your windscreen is way bigger than your rear view mirror for a reason. That's the way I am wired. I don't dwell too much on the past.
I like to see the silver lining in the cloud.

Call me delusional. I don't care. I have had that many high pressure jobs in my life that never allowed me to do anything but find a solution. A way forward. I block out external noise and get on with it.

We are short odds to make the grand final again. Hehe.

I don't think you're delusional for looking forward at all. I would describe myself as somewhere in the middle, both frustrated still at the year & grand final that was, and hopeful for what 2025 & the future can bring. It's a good thing there is a thread for both sentiments!

Gives you much better vision of the impending car crash

 

[Superstar swan]

Under different circumstances it would be easier to look forward.

We basically had a lay up and failed miserabl. If we can’t win when just about everything was in our favour, how can we be expected to believe we are any better chance moving forward.

That grand final humiliation will tarnish each and every season moving forward until we win one

Not overly short odds to win it though - for a reason.....
