We just couldn’t quite get that next goal could we?

The selection of Smith and Zaharakis was poor.

Saad was immense. Guelfi was great.

Not one to really ever mention the umpiring, but some of those decisions were genuinely horrendous.

Anyone who suggested we’re better off with out Daniher, feel free to tag me so I can forever put you on ignore.

Fought bloody hard which was great.
Made too many mistakes when it really counted which we need to fix if we want to play and win finals.
Pies are a good side and we matched them well.
Work out our skills, tighten up in defemsive transition and we can do some damage.

AFL need to do something about the umpiring. There's no consitemcy and it's pretty clear the players have NFI what's goong on

Need an enquiry into the umpires. Been shit all season but dropped to a new low today. Also, not the reason we lost.

Positive is we can absolutely mix it with the best. We can be top 4. I don’t feel like I wasted my money on the Gand Final ticket upgrade on my membership.

Also, I love Saad and Joey.

I don't remember Shiel hitting a target all day. What the **** was he doing in the last 90 seconds? He had an easy open handball to his left and he goes for a 35m kick and misses by 10m. Choked on the big stage.
This is why we lost. He had the chances to win the game off his own boot.
