Yes, as a matter of fact, and I'm ******* gutted. But they broke our back in the second half through pure ability. We were good, we turned up, but the Dogs have been men possessed the last month and they were again today.
Tom Mitch can go, not necessarily the worst but our mix is not right. Too many slow midfielders that go missing
Mediocre Skills that get exposed in pressure games

I know it's shattering to lose like this, but as fans I think it'd be remiss of us to overreact here.
We lose to a fairytale story - the Dogs had a miracle run, had all the momentum and nothing to lose in that contest. Sh*t happens.
At the start of the year I had us pegged at coming in at 8th (or worse) given losing Goodesy, Shaw, etc. - somehow we came out of the year with a minor premiership and a stack of talent to be developed for the future.
Heeney, Mills, Hewett, Papley, Naismith - are all going to get better and better as they mature. You look at where some other clubs are at and they'd kill to be us - a young list already competing for premierships.
We thought our premiership window would be another few years away at the start of the year. Today sucks but I'm f*cking hype for next year.

Only thing worse than the umpiring was Parker, Hannebery, Mitchell, Mills, McGlynnn and Rohan.
I disagree with the 'we turned up' sentiment, the 8 or so players that did turn up kept us in the game.
I miss those days when we were a champion team, win lose or draw.
Have to accept that some of our players don't handle the mental side of the game very well.
At least it wasn't Hawthorn.

Nope still think you didn't watch the game
Easton Wood probably won't be cited.
I am seriously shattered. Think this team is gone mentally. Think I am gone mentally.
Putting aside the fact that we were reamed by the umps and that we had too many blokes auditioning for the upcoming invisible man movie, the cold, hard, sobering reality is that Horse has failed to adjust his game plan to adapt to the doggies pressure style of footy in 3 consecutive losses, where we have racked up scores of 73, 75 and 66. You cannot beat any Top 8 sides let alone the best with such a dysfunctional forward line. To also have such a drop off from last week with an extra days rest is unacceptable.
Horse needs to step up and take a substantial portion of the blame for this one.

Dumb moments in the last
Papley takes his sweet time to just kick it into the man on the mark
Then after that was lloyd in quicksand?
Even with 2 and a half to go and its done, buddy still takes his sweet time
Think we can dispell the myth mcglynn deserves a flag
I thought tippett fought back, may be in the minority
Kennedy a deadset legend, got us back into it
Parker or mitchell, let parker go and pay mitchell
Overall this year exceeded expectations but ironically almost better off failing last week in a way

well, another GF lost and we weren't quite good enough to get a free kick in hte game. Fair enough they are a good team but it reeks to me. We do need more speed thru hte guts. They were downhill skiing at the death. Grundy, Kennedy,Jack, Ramps, magnificent
