Game Day Reigning Premiers v The Brides Maids - beware the wounded Magpie

[kaiserchief13]

-32 contested possessions. Ouch. There's your game folks.

We're most likely going to have to go unbeaten in our last 6 to get top 2.

Nah just need to get the percentage up and hope GWS and Richmond win the next 2 weeks

And you only post here when we lose or are likely to lose.

You are nowhere to be seen when we win. It's like you detest us winning. Chuck Norris would be proud of your MIA.

Why I haven't put you on ignore yet is one of life's great mysteries.

That Hickey handball 15m out is going to give me nightmares tonight.

Completely forgot about that moment. That was hideous.

Pathetic or planned? I say planned

This is all part of the master plan. I have no problem putting the eagles down to the Grand Final.

Remember Simmo wants a GF not a stupid home and away game

8 point game. I believe brisbane and tigers will edge us now. Top 2 is gone

Like clockwork we drop a game that would make our lives easy.

Oh no whatever shall we do.

Simmo doesn't want easy. He wants it from the margins without the entitled tag!

You dont think we have a chance to beat Pies at the MCG if we finish 3rd and they finish 2nd ?

2019 Premiership is well and truly open !!

Well said Pies are hungry

Surely on form it's a better option. They haven't beaten us at the MCG for a while

 

[Eagleboy68]

Ah well. Pies deserved it, they played very good tough footy tonight. Grundy absolutely monstered that last quarter, made Hickey look like a wet paper bag & broke even with NN, which their mids took advantage of.

Looks like WCE ran out of gas at the end, they could not generate any run. Oh well, hope the coming 8 day break helps us.

There's a reason the saints didn't want Hickey.

He's a useless crab and doesn't belong in our side.

Quality reference.

Now this is a bit too far.

We had many, many opportunities to score when we didn't. Even if we lost by a point, the game didn't rest on one missed opportunity in the second - a lack of composure and running out of gas played a far larger part then a single mistake when we were dominating.

There were at least two clean scoring chains (when we had very few) in the last that were stuffed up by Sheed fumbling, but you and I both know it isn't his fault that we lost. This was on the team, not a single player.

Yes was thinking about that when catching the train after the game - at the time can remember thinking "how could he have been so stupid". Those little things in a close game are the difference between a win and a loss!

 

[frenchconnection]

Well, tiny upside, I tipped us to lose by 1.

Actually that makes it worse, I think.

Actually just remembered - so did I! Looked at what percentages were like for both teams and tipped the team with the superior percentage. Of course at times like that am still hoping we win!

He's being hidden in a great team.

He's not that good mate.

Good to see other posters share the same anger as me. Should've f’ed them off during the third quarter. Useless fu**s. I was gonna give Masten votes too but his kick in the last means fu** all for him. Kennedy as well, wtf was that tonight? Rest him up next week, no need to travel to the NT. McGovern was well and truly below par tonight. So, so far below. Cole was about as useful as Duggan's a-hole. Our midfield decided bruise free was the best bet after getting 3 goals up. Sheed was the worst for this. Ruined his game with that pathetic effort too. I haven't melted so hard over a game of footy in so, so long. Maybe it's the alcohol. Maybe it's because I feel like we blew everything tonight. Maybe it's because we're full ******* strength and we're still s**t. I remember why I try to distance my emotions from games sometimes because s**t like this will ruin my ******* night now

I feel ya mate. Most dispiriting, deflating win of the season. I think because it was such a great opportunity to make a push for back to back, everyone was talking us up and we were expected to win. Everything was kind of going to script until scoring dried up and it seemed all we were doing was defending. We just dropped off so badly again, as we've been doing time and time again this year. But gotta remember it's still just a game, and HOPEFULLY we take something out of this going forward.

The game itself was supremely frustrating, as I watched us barely clinging on. We were heroic in defence as the Pies kept peppering the goals but it shouldn't have even got to that stage. Felt we were gonna run over them at 3 quarter time 18 up, but it was not to be.

Oh well, one week at a time, let's see how much we really want it. We're still a chance for 2nd so not all lost. Our percentage and points is similar to the Pies.

 

[EdCurnowRules]

Fell asleep at half time, woke up to the result. Makes it way more bearable. Did get Jack for first though... it’s not the end of the world guys - we might have lost but at least it wasn’t by 40+, and at least it’s over by Saturday morning so we all have the rest of the weekend to get over it.

 

[Crankitup]

How do you not put a point on the board for like 50 minutes...seriously..

Good point. When you have a comfortable lead and then can't score in that time frame at home it's called utter capitulation. People are pointing out various umpiring howlers but the end result had nothing to do with the umpires. The key period was the closing stages of the 3rd quarter. Collingwood shut us down when we were on a roll and looked like blowing the game apart. Any post match review should start it's focus there.
