Poor team selection. Chickens came home to roost. Fagan sticks with some duds and that’s the difference.
Absolutely. Lack of a KPF and Fagan constantly playing his pets which cost us.

Witherden should hang his head in shame for that pitiful chase resulting in that last GWS goal.

All of Gardiner, Andrews and Adams were terrible and their ineffectiveness cost us all finals series. Too many players got way ahead of themselves and just played arrogant footy this finals campaign.

So we now have the dubious honour of continuing that rotten stat of one of the top four going out in straight sets.

Absolutely sickened by the past fortnight.

I'm all sorts of emotions right now....teary, proud, angry, frustrated and proud all over again

Love you boys, heads held high and walk tall. You've done yourselves proud.

Lester > Witherden
Walker > Adams

Answerth has had three straight shockers and he gets picked. Bastinac playing the house down, Keays available and Mathieson good enough for a game. Team selection cost us. Rayner?? When did he deliver? Wasn’t he supposed to be a possible ‘Finals Specialist?’
Well said.
 
Would love to see Hodgey go around again.
Robbo turned it over our best chance last 3 minutes.
We wouldn't have been within a chance of goal if Whitfield had had his usual game rather than 7 effective disposals

As much as I despised the umpiring effort (particularly razor Ray trying to insert himself on the game wherever possible), Hipwoods snap in the last quarter was off a clear throw, and Andrews should have been called holding the ball at the start of the last also.

Dominate inside 50s like that and fail to score (and allow intercept marks) and you’re asking for trouble; it happened both last week and this week.

3-4 games we kicked goals in the last 2 minutes to steal the game.. unfortunately we are on the wrong side this week. Forward line can definitely improve however much of that comes from our meterage style of play.

Hurts to lose when we were the better team on the night, however we are quick to forget where we were 12 months ago. A season far exceeding all expectations- and now we go into 2020 with genuine premiership aspirations.

Hope you don't mind the intrusion, but just wanna say how much I admire the Lions. Their fighting spirit and pressure was something to behold, puts us to shame. They have the raw material to be a champion team, just need some more experience. Could, maybe should, have won tonight, but coming from 15th to 2nd and almost making a prelim is a mighty effort. Should be a real contender next year, see you guys then!

Toby greene the grub cheat should never have played

Channel 7 commentary is just dreadful
Give me eddie any day

We really need a power forward. Someone who can take a grab. No more pinch hitters.

Feel so deflated
Hope gws go on and do a few nice season ending numbers next week on themselves

Robbo played his best game and gave everything , but just kick it along the ground rather than in the air because it went to the opposition nearly every time.
