Autopsy Sunburnt

Spot on.

Bolton tackle has no prior, wasn't HTB. Cox slung Swallow, rightly pinged.

As better as the 2nd half way, no erasing the 2nd quarter. Too many out the back cheap goals killed us

Gunna disagree with you on both. Bolton tackle guy picked up the ball cleanly and took several paces then tackled. It’s been HTB all season.

Cox was done for tackling a guy who didn’t have the ball; he did have the ball when the tackle was started. If it was called as a sling, sure, but it wasn’t

Lost at selection, and injuries to key players last week. I was really concerned when I heard that Switta wasn’t playing - he might have been the difference tonight. Someone other than Fyfe would have probably helped too. Oh well. A good year, with many players improving. Let’s hope we go forward in 2026.

Just hurts on so many levels man.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Mental health alert.

It's just a game.

Love the players effort.

It’s shit we will cop from eagles fans that haven’t wanted to talk footy for four years that really gets most of us.

 

[mike91]

Cox has been sensational all season. That’s not on him.

That tackle was literally on him. The loss isn't soley on him, but that tackle was absolutely pathetic

 

[Docker82]

3 minutes was too long to play save the game too.

Yep. Three minutes to stop them scoring just one goal.

Get that one goal and it's down to one stoppage in the middle.

We can sit here and blame the umpires but at the end of the day, I'm not even angry, I'm just heartbroken. Umpires didn't lose us the game, we left our run too late and messed around with the ball in defence.

I just feel bad for Fyfe, he didn't deserve to go out like that, a legend of the game done in by 1 point.

Oh well, as long as one of the non-Victorian teams win, so go Brisbane......I guess Gold Coast and to a lesser extent Adelaide. Mostly Brisbane.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Great game, loved all of the crew on here writing Pearce off, if you were one of them you simply have no idea about football, none.
This will hurt for a while.

Writing off his ability to fire up his troops leading into big occasions does not mean he himself was written off. He has big moments in him.

Man this ****ing stings.

 

[Randomizor]

Our clubs worst ever decision was hiring a coach without credentials

I moved to Melbourne for a reason.

 

[Footskill]

I think we have it our all..comes down to moments.. throughout the year in close games we took ours. Tonight we didn't.

More disappointed I don't get to watch another game next week

 

[Ge3ks]

We were outplayed all night long and then we tease ourselves with a one goal lead with 3 minutes left... before being outplayed some more. Cool.

 

[FreoRicci]

Yep. Three minutes to stop them scoring just one goal.

Get that one goal and it's down to one stoppage in the middle.

It was okay. 2 minutes left and the ball goes to the wing. Someone has to contest it. Why is only Voss there?

 

[pavstar]

Had Brayshaw on in the corridor....nah kick it backwards and turn it over....

We were playing positive attacking football to get us in front then we lost brain cells and played negative football instead of the style that got us in front with 3 minutes to go…

I understand with 45 seconds to go but 3 ****ing minutes to go? ****ing dead fish.

We ****ed it like the America’s Cup defence in 1987…

 

[Minz]

Missus told me go walk the dog to chill as I was reciting every swear word in the urban dictionary..

Can teach you some colourful (but very polite in English) Quebecois swear words if you want

 

[piranha1]

I never want to see that no-defence, headless chook again, F*** off Freddy

 

[mayne iac]

One quarter ? Nah, just not a fan

And get rid of cox also?

 

[YelloMit]

Great day for football!

**** off, will ya?

 

[Fat Nyfe]

A good consolation is knowing that we wouldn’t have won the premiership anyway.

If you can’t beat the Suns at home, you aren’t beating the last 3 premiers in a row at their home grounds.

Need to get better. Hope it burns them.

 

[Tonga Bob]

**** off, will ya?

They have

Fyfe was excellent when he was on. Turned back the clock just a little, reminded me what we used to have.

 

[Sean_09]

I thought Erasmus was good. Stood up

Big game player. Number #1 re-signing priority this season

 

[Freoforever86]

Any other afl team runs that clock down or gets the ball out of bounds… unbelievable

 

[EastcoastDocker]

Pearce stood up there. Is he a captain though?

Our defense is generally good but it needs a solid backline general. And someone who can take marks at all points of the game. I wonder if Treacy might be better down there?

Did you not see Treacy completely lose Mac Andrew? Keep him forward

Disagree. Don’t have it all. Think the list over performed.

Really really would like to have hard looks at NOD, JOM, Banfield, Frederick. There’s better players on the list.
