I do what I can because I care.Great work as always Quinz
I thought I might be like that post flag, but then I almost broke my hand punching my steering wheel while listening to the first ten minutes on the way home.I’m almost annoyed at myself about how not bothered by that loss I am.
Maybe because I fully expected it once the outs came through, maybe because I came to grips with it in the third quarter when it was inevitable, but the siren’s gone and I’m just sitting here like yeah that was bad, but we’ll be fine.
Shouldn’t I be pissed off or something? Is this a post flag thing that anyone else is experiencing? That’s not going to ruin the remainder of my day, and there’s definitely a time where it would have.
We're still top 4 with no serious injuries and still have three months to hit form before finals. Plus we've shown in the past two years we're a better finals side than home and away. Today's **** and it's not the first **** performance this year but I still think we can win the flag.
Couple posters piss me off.
So hard to be optimistic and so easy to throw it away...not going back to back, it’s Geelongs to win, lads don’t deserve a break etc.... some real classy posts.
Morons.
It’s bloody June and we’re ready to launch.
**** em
Yeah, that's definitely a significant factor for me as well. When you lose by a couple of goals, individual moments and individual players are much more easy to be frustrated/angry about. When most of the team shits the bed and you lose by 8 goals the acceptance comes very easily.Losses aren't stinging that much this year because the games have been over at 3 quarter time.
Exactly this. I pretty much just shrugged my shoulders and changed channels.I’m almost annoyed at myself about how not bothered by that loss I am.

To be fair on the selection point, there's no-one outside the match committee who thought Smith over Ah Chee was the right call, and BF collective was right about that. Dunno if it would've made a difference.They should bloody walk home after that. Just love some of the BigFooty staples.
“We always let in late goals.”
“We always play spuds into form.”
“Lost at selection.”
Surely the three most common posts on every single board. It’s a miracle anybody ever wins, given how bad the selection is at 18 clubs.

I'd tipped Sydney with a lot of confidence even before Yeo was out. Swapping Ah Chee directly for Yeo would've been better than trying to replace him with a combo of Smith and Gaff.I was stunned he's the one they brought in. And taking a look over his stats, 10 touches, 4 turnovers and zero tackles wasn't exactly what we needed to replace Yeo. That's too simplistic though as he wasn't swapped into Yeos role.
What is bleedingly obvious is Yeo and Hurn have been our best two over the recent winning streak. Taking the top two out of any team and sending them on the road to a venue of limited success would have huge ramifications.
This thread may turn into a little safe zone to ponder the result away from the +/- and changes threads where I'm sure the melts are at an all time high.
In better news the WCE alluded to my mail that NN is due back, suggesting he's had his last game as ruck coach.
If Warner didn't bat at 67 SR and kept up with everyone else, might've been a different story. He's in that sort of form since the IPL. May as well open with Shaun.Aussies probably won’t chase 350+.
