AFL Autopsy Spanked by Sydney in elimination final

[fishardansin]

As I posted in the game thread ..

As bad as it has been today folks if you swap Watson and Kelly for high quality contested mids, have Hooker at FF, defend their transition better, show more composure with the ball and match the intensity of the first quarter and we're in the contest.

All but the first one are easy fixes. I hope we don't give away our draft position to go for an easy fix in the midfield. We need to build internally and go to the draft again this year. Go to the draft again next year and potentially get a FA next year.

Begley and Parish can hold their head high.

I'm sad.

Disappointing game.

Our midfield not up to scratch. Need at least 2-3 inside mids over the trade period/draft

 

[Tassieboy]

Oh well. Can't complain about the year - it's been much better than the past 4.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

C'est la vie. Ran into a juggernaut - probably a grand finalist.

Good luck to geelong having to deal with that.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Feel sorry for anyone who traveled from Melbourne.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Hurts. But after the Carlton games in round 23 last year, if you said we will make finals and get spanked by sydney, I'd strongly consider taking it.

Was a successful year imo, even if that game sucked heaps of donkey dicks.

Hard to be too upset about a game you were never in. I thought 10 goals would be about the margin but it woukd have been nice to be competitive for a while.

Good to see that our best players were the younger guys, hopefully they learned something.

Was the same issues we had for most of the season; slow midfield, poor disposal and no defensive awareness.
Not really sure why Colyer kept getting a game, would have been more valuable getting thay experience into a kid.

Thanks Pops for 2 years of giving your all

Thanks Jobe for bleeding red and black, and showing how to carry yourself with diginity. A true champion

[Howard Moon]

Need to suffer a painful final to move forward..

Now we have ammo next year. Now we know what level we need to get to. Are we good enough? Over to you boys

 

[Beerfish]

Off to see It soon too. Horror double.

 

[Doss]

So long Jobe and Pops, you champions.

Jobe never won a final.... Jesus, that is just a reflection of an era of complete inadequacy

 

[Bombermania]

Well done to the Swans, thanks to Pops and Jobe on their careers and now for the USO, NFL and someother sport which doesn't remind me of today match.

Yes he did, in 2004.

 

[Sammymoite]

What an absolute disgrace that channel 7 didn't show jobe and kel chaired off the ground, an absolute ******* disgrace

You had one job you morons

 

[Jesse Custer]

Clearly weren't ready and I'm glad it didn't exceed a hundred points. See ya next year

 

[Dons4days]

Did Joe & Kelly get carried off again? Fox footy have just gone straight into the bullshit analysis
