[Stig O'Hara]

Don't care what anyone says, so proud of our blokes tonight!!

 

[SE_Blue]

Absolutely shattered.

That is all.

 

[Mike_blues]

i dont care what anyone thinks, that was one of the best games ive seen us play never gave up pitty we lost it coz of the umpiring. worst ive seen in many many years

none the less, outstanding performance

 

[Koutafidamedis]

Not good enough. Lost a game we should of won. I would of accepted if we were beaten by the better team on the night. But we werent. When it comes down to it if the pressure is on our boys crumble.

 

[Malifice]

So bloody close.

But for the silly Davies free kick in the goal square, Thornton going down, any of 5 arsey goals to them on the line, the holding the ball non free, Setanta in the Ruck, and home ground advantage, we wouldve won.

Here's to the double chance and a home Semi next year.

Rubbish.

We were out on our feet tonight with a spate of injuries.

We're still coming.

**** I want 2012 to start right now!!

Chamberlain is a haemmorhoid on the game of AFL.

WTF.

 

[SpaceCow]

Murphy's 2nd shot at goal...

Still proud of the boys though. Fought it out till the end.

 

[Madblue]

Hard to take buy i guess we didn't beat anyone in ther top 4 all season.

We won't be a top 4 team until we have a key forward !

Good season though.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Need to really attack the trade period hard. #1 priority is secure a ready-made kpf, give everything, anything. We will win the flag next year with a competent key forward.

Not even gonna bother. Watch the replay and have a good, hard look at yourself.

Get a grip.

We lost by a kick with Gibbs, Waite and Kreuzer out.

Amazing game, loved the effort and heart, but boy gee that is shattering!

 

[The King!]

Most teams would struggle with ur equivalent outs bad luck tonight. U got a lot of rubbish calls against you. Think carlton will be even better next year

Also sick of the judd hate on the main board

 

[bodazoka]

That was one of the toughest intense games of the season, your blokes should be bloody proud of there effort after a 6 day break on enemy soil.

Bloody tough...

 

[you pick one]

Just a great game of footy, as good a final as you will ever get,be disappointed but also be proud to be part of that.
All the best for 2012.

 

[Koutafidamedis]

I apologise for my earlier post. Wrote it in the heat of the moment and have had time to settle down. Mighty fine effort blueboys. Battled hard. Look forward to 2012

 

[Juddalenko]

Great heart shown by the boys. Everyone tried their guts out. Just fell short - the 50/50s just didn't seem to fall our way after the first 15 minutes. Once the whistle was put away, the game was so much better to watch. The next 5 years are going to be fun to watch.

 

[reg_lower91]

Still can't come to terms with the fact our season is over. Just can't believe it, was honestly convinced we were going to win.

That bloody hurts.

 

[dc king]

How many finals can we lose by under a goal? FML

 

[Vincent Chase]

2012 can't come quick enough

 

[Beloved]

Of all the posts I've seen tonight, this is by far the stupidest.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

**** Me, last three finals losses have been less than a kick.

As TG posted, plonk Krooz, Gibbs and Waite into that side and whatever.

Gunna get drunker and listen to the Beatles.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Looking forward to 2012 and hopefully a very active trade/draft period. Serious tilt at the flag next year.

 

[reg_lower91]

Sick to death of hearing people saying 'if we had of got this goal' or 'if they didnt get that goal' then we would have won.

Let's play the 'what if' game and go through all of their 15 goals or all of our 8 behinds shall we?

That's footy. As Ratten says, it's a game of inches. The inches just weren't quite in our favour tonight.
