Game Day Elimination final: Western Bulldogs vs GWS Giants

[philmb]

Disappointing quarter which may see us out, but could not be more proud of the team to make the finals especially after looking done & dusted at the bye.

Anyone looking to be critical of Bev or the players simply because of today can give themselves an uppercut.

Three finals campaigns with one Premiership in five years is significantly better than most teams.

It’s a shame the umpires couldn’t carry you to a win today. They tried their hardest and couldn’t get it done. You’ll always have your fluke premiership though. Now back to irrelevance for the next 30 years where your club belongs

* off you flog, mods take care of this fat s**t.

Not one of our big 3 mids has been close to good enough.

Lateral ligament?

That's what Maple said. Didn't look like it to me. Looked like a textbook ACL

 

[hutchy31]

Can we not completely lose our s**t and start getting too negative? It’s not fair to how the boys have played second half. Cry like me over Naughts but GWS beat us fair and square. Too good. A couple of selection decisions haven’t caused this.

You’re right, but team selection made it more difficult for them - as it has done on multiple occasions this year.

That said, when the dust settles it’s been a good year overall given the age profile of the list. Good experience for the young players, and a reminder for the senior ones that they actually need to lead and ensure they show up in finals.

Genuine mistake to post on this board. Was only reading for update on naughton.

No worries mate North supporters are often confused, usually about their relevance.

The bye hurt us this time.

 

[Igloo]

So many turnovers.

Duryea having a mare (who hasn't really)

Looked like it to me aswell but have no idea what a lateral ligament is in terms of recovery period

Honestly, Beveridge is a muppet. He deserves this result for showing complete neglect for experience in finals. Had Trengove and Dickson available, who were in the team most of the year, but arrogantly played a bunch of kids who have never played a final before. Trenners probably thinking dejavu; Hinkley shafted him the same way in 2017, which was the main reason he left Port to come here.

Naughton doing his ACL is the final kick in the guts. I'm done with footy for a long while.

Hi, and bye

 

[ExRoyboy]

We had a good season.... it will be a huge shame to get blown out like this in a final but hopefully the young players get something out of it. Still have a good future ahead of us. I only hope now that Aaron Naughton is okay.

Cameron with all the lip after doing * all for most of the day.

This is why I said we need to move past Lloyd. He's not a finals footballer. When things aren't going well he can't impact. Hayes the same. Hope they can prove me wrong next year but I fear he won't.

Time to take some bodies.

Maybe I should have ordered the Somali food as my Lucky Meal instead of making the steak.

Steak is now banned from all future lucky meals. It is a cursed food.

Solid comeback, straight to the boundary

Lateral ligament?

Weightbearing ligament in the knee, generally takes 2-4 weeks to heal but isn't prone to reocurring damage. Possibly the second best case scenario

 

[Piesnchess]

Haha what a sad pathetic post.

Thought so myself, his Swannies did not exactly set the world on fire this season. ??

The lateral ligament is basically the opposite of the medial ligament. It is very unusual for this type of injury to occur. If it is the lateral ligament, and not the ACL, he should be right by early next year.

He’s had just as many touches as Bont..

 

[Dogs Rule]

So why would Maple be definitive lateral if it wasn’t?

 

[Rocketsurgery]

Perhaps Will Hayes can do one positive thing in this game and flatten Toby Greene

 

[immortalmike]

Honestly rapt that we even made finals. Smith, West and Young will learn shitloads from this.
