Why all this negativity? I am proud of the way the boys competed until the last 10 minutes in a game we were never expected to win. Well played boys, hard luck in not winning.
Just think at the start of the season - most of us didn't even expect us to make the 8 let alone top 4. Our time is coming, just have to get through fire to mold our destiny.

To be fair the Umps gave the pricks the fuking earth, did not miss a beat for the eagles. that had a lot to do with it too. |
I saw frees tonight that I'd never seen before! |

I can understand the gut-wrenching disappointment that many feel. I do too.
Yet, I am so very proud of our boys. To a man, they played their hearts out.
As someone mentioned, had Varcs not slipped when running into the forward 50, the story may have been a lot different.
I reckon if that game had been played at the G and we had the benefit of a roaring pro-crowd, as the Eagles did, we would've won. It's a big home advantage they had there.
Please don't hang the sh*t on any of our players, especially Mayne. He kept a much bigger opponent in McGovern out of the game for three quarters. |

Somewhat. I am sorry to hear that. Perhaps next time I can do better. |

| I have never seen a greater scumps stitch up in a finals game. But take it to the bank, we will destroy the Giants next week, beat the Tigers in a prelim for the ages, and destroy these weak scumbags when they have to play us on a real ground without tonight’s scumpires! Because they sure as hell won’t be there. |

You need to relax ombré ..... Was a tremendous effort in the west. I loved that game. Watch this space .......pies will do the dance. No one kills us |
Yes, I have no doubt we will beat the Giants next week, if we bring the same effort and intensity we showed tonight, its at the G, we are in a filthy mood, redemption, and their Kelly is out, and some of our injured guys will be a lot better for the run. we will NOT go out in straight sets, no way known. !!

When Adams got concussed, I thought it was over then. Really changed things.

As much as our midfield dominance got us back in the game and in the lead - that was also our downfall in the 4th Qtr. We got smashed in the middle, in contested ball and as a result lost the territory battle
On the positive side - Sier was great considering it was his first final. Goldie & Adz were great considering it was their first game back.
Looking for Pendles, Howe, Cox, Grundy, WHE, JDG to lift next week.

I actually thought we had the better of the midfield battle. True, the Weagles got the better of it in the last couple of minutes but by then it was game over.

They killed our midfield again!! Grundy with all the hit outs and Dom Sheed... Dom Sheed kills us in the clearances!! Very frustrating... We lacked composure, especially in defence. |

It seems he is the barometer for the team now.

| So the AFL schedule us as the last game of the finals, chances are we lose (and lose we did) and have to play one of the Sydney sides on a shorter break. Coincidence? Think the AFL would do anything for the AFL Giants to have every advantage. |

I’m pretty sure with the free kick we got, they rebounded and got a goal, I feel that that scored much easier than what we did... im confident that we will beat gws next week, they play the G horribly. |

Goldy obviously tired as the game went on, but his was an absolute lion-hearted effort. Who would've thought he could have stood up as he did, after missing the whole season. He'll be better for the run and his nouse and experience will be invaluable next week.
Likewise for Treloar and Howie. |
