Someone at the game can remind me to unlock this.

Also I'm thinking votes are worth double for the grand final!

It's this on the fly rule making that calls the credibility of this award into doubt. If Neale wins our player of the year award over Bontempelli I'm creating a main board thread!

I'm also renaming the award to the ZoBlitz Player of the Year award just fyi.

You know I can probably just handle it today

I had to create the thread once. Never again.

Collingwood the ducking specialists

 

[Nathan Barley]

Behinds shouldn't count

 

[Toffee Lion]

I love our boys, I love our club and I’m so proud they never gave in.

If by any chance a single Lions clubmen reads this, please let the boys know how much we love them for their effort.

Next year boys. Next year.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Can't be too mad, we fought to the end

Well done lads

 

[Nathan Barley]

Proud but you can't win a premiership with 3 midfielders

 

[MSB ROYS]

When advantage is not advantage. So frustrating.

 

[Jewelsbon]

Sorry guys, your team was magnificent.
That advantage call - no words.....

 

[Sherrinator]

Horrible and unaccountable midfield effort. No coincidence that we started looking good when Lyons came on.

 

[Eons]

To be fair Collingwood should have won by 5 goals. Even though the game was close it never really felt like we were in it. Midfield was poor, lots of silly decisions but hopefully we will bounce back bigger and better next year. Need to find a couple of midfielders quick or we won’t be winning a flag anytime soon.

 

[_Mike_]

So close Lions, so close. You guys deserved to be there

 

[BrownYouGun]

Not good enough when it mattered, outplayed and outcoached - finals moments of umpiring incompetence weren’t the decider as much as I hate the maggots

 

[Hanley]

Sad but really proud. Well done boys. Let's bring it home next year

 

[Iva Bigun]

Robbed, but what’s new

 

[chriso11]

Umps with the assist
Bad luck and reload for next year

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Feel for you and your team. Wanted Fagan to win as senior coach and the extra Hawthorn connection with Birchall as your runner.

The advantage call was dumbfounding. Time and again the umpires lifted for Collingwood and that was a crucial call.

Never really replaced Ashcroft when he went down, we just don't have the depth through there to replace him. Lyons made a huge difference when he came on.

Still gutted.

 

[MSB ROYS]

It would have been a steal, but I would have taken it.

 

[Quested]

Heartbroken right now, not sure what else to say. Can't process anything

 

[Nathan Barley]

Collingwood had Daicos, de Goey, Mitchell, Pendlebury, Sidebottom and the other Daicos all run through the middle and have an influence

We had Neale, Dunkley and Clug all fairly average with no support.

And Oscar was stuffed after the first quarter

 

[_hyphy]

Outplayed today and lost the moments. Berry 50 comes to mind. Regardless, so proud of our boys, we fought it out right till the end.
