Autopsy Destiny awaits another season - Magpies lose by 4

[adammania9]

It hurts but visibly we had no business progressing through. A lot of stuff to clear up and improve on for 2020.

Forget what your opinions are of Richmond and their supporters. For the sake of the integrity of the game, back the Tigers next Saturday.

nah i dont care go gws lol

although i think Richmond will win

 

[magpienato]

I might be taking a break from BigFooty for a while. Don't know when I'll be back but this loss has sent me to rock bottom.

 

[biggiemediums]

I'm pissed off. That final 30 minutes makes it seem like the rest of the game was an 'effort' thing.

 

[wicksy]

I won't be watching next week and don't give a s**t who wins at this stage.
Gutsy effort by the team to come back like that but only themselves to blame for being in that position in the first place.

Starting to worry that the chances left for this squad are starting to thin....

 

[DinoSoar]

As bitterly disappointing as that was, I’m so proud of our boys and our season. They gave it their all and just fell short. Next year my Pies brothers & sisters, next year.

GO PIES!!

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Was not our day. We were too flat early, fumbled a lot, and when we did switch on and the GWS tired we still couldn't enough to overcone them and kick a winning score.

I am still proud of our players and team for making final 4, but disappointed we couldn't get the game on our terms.

Looking forward to next year and a fruitful trade and draft period.

Go Pies.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

How can you let Nick Haynes have 30 disposals? He’s a defender. He was playing loose behind the ball. Mayne manned him up in the last quarter, and we kick a few goals.

Rocket science.

As soon as the history repeating itself omen came about I knew we were in trouble. If there’s one thing we’re good at its following the bad history and failing to repeat the good one.

I don't think this list has enough upside to grab a flag. Nearly got there but not good enough.

Thx for starting this thread. The game day thread is beyond toxic.

That’s that then for 2019. Feel numb. I was very confident of our chances.

Congrats to GWS, and I don’t care about the AFL love child stuff, I hope they win their first flag next Saturday. I’ll be there and I’ll be loud for them. Anything but Richmond.

We don’t need to rebuild, but we do need to regroup. And we’ll be back. This coach and the core of this team are not done yet.

 

[BoxMatrix]

Some supporters here should be ashamed. Acting like the Giants were some pushover is just plain embarrassing.

[Soaring Magpie]

That is shattering, another big final loss by under a goal.
That 3rd quarter is going to haunt me for a long time

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Don't worry, Collingwood have already recruited a 30yo Beams to fix the midfield issues and a 29yo American to address the KPP issues...Can also be rest assured a 31yo Ben Reid will play the entirety of 2020....

Nothing wrong with list management all.

Come on mate. What does it really matter? The Psychopaths USA just stated they want a war with Iran with Australias help.

 

[Aussie pie]

Fox footy going on about the Thomas goal non review and having a big whinge. How about the Grundy push in the back?

2 flags since 1958 let that sink in and you wonder why we demand success. I’ll say it, bucks is an ok coach but I wonder if we need to be on the look out.

If an SA club offers a gold mine of picks for Grundy do we take it and I mean an absolute gold mine of picks. I’d hate to lose him for nothing under free agency.

 

[Braybrook Son]

Great effort to come back and I can honestly say I feel your pain, I’ve seen the Dogs lose 7 prelims before we won one and it’s devastating especially being so close, all the best guys

 

[cliffdrabble]

We would not have beaten Richmond anyway. Too many flaws in our team. When you consistently struggle to kick a score, you are not going to win a Premiership.
Making top 4 really flattered our true ability.

GWS on the other hand do have a chance. They have such a level of skill, given they can stand up to 4 quarters of footy, they are a dangerous underdog.

 

[SpongePie]

That was heart breaking. Shattered.

Tremendous last quarter effort.

But that 3rd quarter and our mids let us down badly today.

Upsetting.

You aren’t going to win a game losing clearances 54-35.

We weren’t hard enough and totally asleep in the 3rd qtr. Forward line was pathetic tonight.

 

[lvandinter]

I’m so pissed, still tearing up a bit. Hope tigers win next week at least we came back so I have the integrity to watch the game next week. We just gotta deal with it and come out stronger next year. * me.

Btw I reckon its going to be the 2007 Grand Final all over again. The best team all year vs the Pretender. This was the Giants Grand Final, so lap it up Giants fans.

Anyways a bit of post season/ Pre season talk here, we actually NEED to do some damage in the free agency/trade period this year. Need to get more depth in the forward line and potentially find a decent ruck to back up Grundy considering there are rumours he is going to leave Collingwood.

 

[Jonno94]

No surprise we lose another close final due to a lack of a decent key forward. Pendlebury and Sidebottom so disappointing again.

 

[shizzle]

Plenty of passengers unfortunately.

Noble(Negative player rating to go with his donut last week, probably the worst finals series statistically of all time), Sidebottom(I'd hope that he had the flu because that was one of his worst, for a big game specialist he's adding up a few bad ones), Adams(12 clangers, yeah), WHE(zero impact), Mihocek(Normally Mr Consistent, Mr Non Existent today), Brown(Tried hard but did nothing significant), Phillips(a few cheap sideways kicks that's all) and Pendles(not the worst but well held).

 

[mwhop]

2 years in a row in finals it's proven that our midfield is just slightly not up to it. Whether it's personnel or set up, I don't know
