Autopsy 2022 Rd 23 Choked again. Season Done.

It's a funny game today, we played really poor football that first half, an awesome 3rd quarter and for the most part not a bad last qtr, just couldn't kill the game when we had our many chances. They took their chances and we didn't that last qtr.

A lot to learn from. Probably more disappointing overall in the first half more than anything. Panic panic panic (but credit to us, we turned it around in the 3rd and then ultimately failed the test late)

Walsh looked so devastated in the box after the siren. Charlie let out an F bomb. Doc looked broken.

Our players looked so broken tonight after the siren. I’d love to have been a fly on the wall in the rooms.

This hurts us and them. I think it’s what the boys need. They will use this as fuel for next year. We will be ok :)

Does anyone have any social media pics from change rooms after the siren?
l believe there has been a trend for a large amount of the season, were we have teams beaten and lapse, we were have hoped the pain of losing to Melbourne last week would have provided a strong lesson to this group.

This group needs a tougher resolve to take the next step, very disappointing 2nd half of the season , the loss to Adelaide was inexcusable.
 
So that's a no, no prediction of what our season could yield. Pretty hard to measure a baseline, when one doesn't exist
We all had a baseline, (I said 6th-10th which in the end was spot on), but we can also adjust our expectations during the season. Missing the 8 from where we were was a big fail, to me it's the Adelaide game. And it's not the result so much bit the effort in that game, they failed in their effort/attitude that game.

In the end, you'd hope the result today hurts as much as a finals loss may, but finals experience would have been great. As much as today was a 'final', the fact is it wasn't a final.

People telling others "it's just a game" are off the mark. That may be how you see it which is fine, doesn't mean others will.

I am absolutely obsessed with and fanatical about this football club. My family has barracked for them for over 100 years. It means everything to me. To say its just a game is insulting.

Its also why you hear the tsunami of noise like you heard today in the 3rd quarter. It's our passion and it ******* hurts when it gives you very little in return.
No one is denying the obsession and passion for our team. It’s more about perspective.

In real terms, none of our lives are actually better or worse when our team wins or loses.

I feel your pain, believe me. But in the big scheme of things it is just a game. The sun will come up tomorrow, and in a year from now, we won’t care what happened today.
 
Meet me at Franga footy ground and we’ll see if you can hold your ground when I give you a big shove?
Ya plonker
Still one of the best posts all year, glad you can take the piss out of yourself [emoji1787]

I tried to take the piss out of it the other week and it got deleted

Technically you're contrdicting yourself. If the umps dont pay the free against SOS then Cripps kicks the goal and we end up with 1.6 in the last quarter and a win.

Not contradicting myself at all, if we kicked just 1 of the 6 goals we missed in the last, we win..likewise if we kicked just 1 goal in the first. This way we win, regardless of what the umps did.

IMO, the umpiring was pretty average both ways today. Both teams got some lucky frees as well as some pretty obvious frees not getting paid.

Does Cripps kick the goal? [emoji2369]

You'd hope so but with him it's a 50/50 at best

In the end we'll never know due to what turned out to be a really bad decision.

But in the end, you can blame an umpire decison but we made alot more errors than they did. You can't fix bad umpire decisions, you can try and fix our errors and decision making over summer

I’d like to try- give me a stock whip, 3 umpires & a couple weeks to train them , I reckon I can “fix” dodgy free kicks against us 😂
 
Here is the issue.

Just another 15 to 30 games. So what, 2024 now?

Just a 66 game rebuild...

How long you want to wait and excuse the club... we have enough "talent" and had enough time to get ourselves organized and in order.

At what point do we run out of patience.

Wait wait wait. Always waiting.
Guess what the competition wont stop for us, while we get it together.

Theyll innovate, and progress, while we wait wait wait

You can't base previous rebuilds with the current group in my opinion.
Regardless, what other option do supporters have but to wait. Whilst the club will be empathising how we all feel, we really have no influence as to how they approach this next phase..

We can all point to where we may have "failed", but like natural progression, a season is never linear
 
There's going out in straight sets in finals. But that's just your run of the mill warm up tournament best of 3 sets. We just went out in straights in a grand slam, loss after loss, after loss to finish it off.
 
We failed in our goal to play finals in the most brutal way possible, after being in the eight all year.

It sucks, and sucks really hard.

But we are much better side and on an upward trajectory.

I just hope this feeling is seared into the players so they work and think ****ing hard next year.

You get one chance in life- don’t ****ing waste it.
