Simpson’s a great coach but they may need a ruthless nasty assistant coach. Have looked soft most year, talent has got them across the line, not many injuries. Big names like Gov Barrass Sheed have been disappointing compared last year.

OK, back to praying for a meteor strike on the MCG next Friday. At least it can't be a Geelong-Richmond GF, I'd have had to drive out to a no-signal zone that weekend.

Im proud of the boys for fighting back into the game, but it was always gonna be a bridge too far. Had to work too hard to overcome the deficit, and had nothing left to give in the end. We finish the season as also-rans and under a drug cloud.

Thanks Willie.
Many very flay boys out there, e a few great efforts though but not a great game at all. It was geelongs GF they will get killed next week being down to that performance at the final change.
 
Stop blaming Willie, hes one bloke ffs.

It’s not his absence people are blaming I don’t think. Him just missing the game hurt is very different.

Completely deflating news to receive on the eve of a final. Tough to push through distractions like that sometimes.

Not surprising. Same old story. Can't play 4 quarters, played into their hands, pressure fell off, can't always play catch up footy. Some decent performances but overall a disappointing way to end the season.

Shepp, Gaff and NN should be absolutely livid with how this team has played all year, we should've finished top 2 if we played like the reigning premiers. You don't get many chances to win a flag.
They needed to play better tonight, Gaff was solid but grubbered a lot of kicks, Shep made some uncharacteristic blues and Nic wasn't quite there, understandably as he is short of a run but none of them were great.
