You're a man who likes to tempt fate, I see.The General wrote:I actually hope they make the finals.
Would be a perfect season if we manage to beat them twice in the home and away season. And again in the final to finish off their year.
Three wins against them would just be so perfect.
Devastating. So unfair.
Spew
I cried.
Four defenders and you basically allow Melksham to take an uncontested mark? He's not a tall.
3 on 1 marking contest with 30 seconds to go and the ball bounces of Young's head... that was the game
@#$%&! dumb football. 7 points up with 2 minutes and you constantly kick to contests
We screwed ourselves in the end. But the umpires robbed us all game. @#$%&! shattered!
There's no justice in the world. Complete fluke from Melksham, throw from Oliver to set up Pickett's only contribution of the match. Our boys thoroughly deserved the win. No recriminations for that ending, Melksham is kissed on the dick.
Deserved to lose it on those last 2 minutes
It was the shit backwards kick to Saad forcing him to play on
In terms of 4 qtr effort that's the best we've played on many years.
Counts for naught though after that epic choke.
Totally gutted
Everything is [REDACTED]
I'm just so bitter about this. Want to punch a Melbourne player.
We just blew finals. That @#$%&! hurts so much
The coaching staff have surfed a wave this year but think they have been shithouse the past few weeks. How do you have possession a minute out and cough it up? How does a cromag like melksham get a touch?
We gave it away 7 points up 2 mins left.
Didn’t do it.
Easy to point finger.
In the last 2 mins
We all feel robbed
I refuse to feel devastation.
Well done boys. Respect.
Next week.
Awful reward for effort
Speechless... We did everything but Win.....That was our Finals Goneeeeeeeeeee!
Gawn killed us in the middle and everywhere else... Pittonet was such a liability... De Koning would have been a better option!
We took the lead on many occasions but gave it back immediately.... Mentally Weak
We have no composure
Should have iced that game
Newnes has to be dropped
If we are any good, we beat Collingwood and make finals
Otherwise, on to next year
We will be a brave 9th unless xmas comes early next week..
Had our chances and blew it. They needed 2 goals with less then 2 min to go and we somehow managed to lose.
What a day, Dogs win by 5pts and we lose by 5pts at the death. Hopefully doesn't come back to haunt us.
Absolutely shattered. On the verge of tears. Stuff broken.
This club will be the end of me.
We had all the momentum in that last quarter. Mistake after mistake in the last minute. Handed it to them. Gutted
Silvagni 1.3
C Curnow 1.4
Not sure how we get up for next week after that. Our effort was awesome. Just no composure in the end
Where the @#$%&! was this effort the past 2 weeks?
I hope so as wellProud of loosing. @#$%&! that. We are shit. And we don't deserve to play finals. I hope Collingwood flog us next week. We should've beaten Adelaide. No point @#$%&! analysing this game. After Adelaide I said we ain't winning another game this year. We won't.
expect a flat carlton next week.
The problem is that the chance may not be there in 2023.
Who is to say GC, PTA, Hawthorn, Essendon* and GWS won't be much improved next year?
Feels like post 2011 semi final. Won't be able to sleep.
Simply gutted.
Shame we didn't bring that effort the last 2 weeks.
The lack of composure collectively in this team is mind boggling. The effort was huge tonight but we just shit the bed at the end.
As soon a Stocker missed that kick to Saad you just knew what was coming. The prospect of being put out by Collingwood next week is sickening
Bring that next week and we will win.
I thought it was great coaching to set that up without 3 of our first choice mids. Against full strength Demon bulls.
Lack of composure in the last 2 mins.
Close this thread and move to the Carlton Collingwood pre match thread.
Everyone move onto next week.
Ive got a horrible feeling that we just played our grand final. We put everything into that game. Proud of the effort but not sure this group can back it up again next week with the same 4 quarter effort. Really hope im proven wrong.
If we bought that effort to many other games this year we wouldn't be in this situation.
As for the last 2 minutes.
We got unnerved
That was devastating.
Stuffed it up in the last minute of the second quarter and again in the 4th.
Gutted.
It's still not over but...no words right now.
This one hurts. A lot.
We just panicked when we didn't need to.
The Owies backpass to Saad was very lazy.
Horrible last few minutes.
There was a 1.28 on the clock when Curnow took that mark . We had 4 uncontested disposals in the next bit of play and we turned it over 1.12 on the clock.
Instead of using up the full 15 seconds we used 3 to 4 seconds each disposal
Dumb
Either way….
HORRIBLE beat…just horrible…!
proud of the effort sure…!
but bad beat…!
For @#$%&!’s sake.
Gold Coast
St Kilda
Adelaide
That’s the ball game, not tonight.
Tonight is just the sting in the wound already festering from the above 3.
If there’s any footy god they’ll give us a chance to atone next week - bring this same heat but with renewed vitriol after the screwing tonight, flog our mortal enemy and get into finals the appropriate and most deserved way.
There’s no more chances left - leave the supporters to cry because there’s not a second to lose. Raise hell next week boys.
Devastating
I suspect that was the last punch we’ll throw for the season. Not sure they’ll get up for next week after that. Hopefully they do but it feels like we’ve blown it now
