1. Playing unfit/unwell players.
2. Ridiculously bad matchups (no tag on Sidebottom and Grimes on DeGoey too late).
3. Players believing their own hype.

That usually does the trick. Redemption next year. Bookmark it.

Threads like this would be helping pies supporters feel better about their own choke in the GF
i doubt they would care as they arsed a gf appearance anyway and shouldnt have been there

lol at least we got to see the pies loose yet another grand final. now lets win the flag next year. it would be good to beat the pies in the prelim next year or even the granny, but i doubt they will be there in 2019

Tiges1229 was the only one I recall who said not to underestimate Collingwood.
We had many arrogant fans who thought the result was a foregone conclusion.
I remember writing in late August, as the top four was forming, Collingwood was our only local threat.
Playing relatively well, a soft fixture, large following, media support, and umpiring bias, were factors.
I hope our cheer squad starts a chant next year: "Collingwood are chokers."
Rub their noses in it after what Collingwood fans said earlier.

I'm confident we'll come back hard. We don't just lose everything because of one disastrous performance. I'm confident that our players (and coaches) will want to redeem themselves, both in their own eyes and in the eyes of their supporters.

That over confidence we showed will not be seen again I'm guessing.
 
Took one for the entire league and threw the game

all year while we were up and about on top of the ladder the AFL was talking about insane rule changes, 18m goal squares, zones, etc etc

We lose and suddenly most of the insane suggestions are shelved.

Coincidence?


we are through the looking glass here people

#wakeupsheeple

AFL decided to keep the goal squares as soon as we got Lynch.

I am sure they will analyse the loss, no need to be bitter.
When the Western Bulldogs lost the elimination final in 2015, Beveridge analysed 80 flaws in the performance.
He went through the match forensically.
What is amusing is the AFL website has an article called "Swoop Squad".
Collingwood's strategy of "medium-sized forwards" who score the vast majority of goals.
It sounds familiar.
Like Trent Cotchin says, the game evolves over time and the tactics adapt.

We drank the Kool-Aid from the media proclaiming us shoo-ins to win the GF.

By the time we realised we had to work our guts out to win, we were 10 goals down and it was almost half time.

On top of that, the player we rely on to spark us out of complacency could barely run. Oh, and the coach seemed to have become complacent too, just letting the players do it all.

THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR! I can't wait to see what the players bring next year. 95,000 at the 'G against Carlton. Can't wait. Will be keeping my family reserved seat membership.

We had a lot of fans who for weeks arrogantly predicted we would "smash" Collingwood.
Game over.
Never believed their BS for a nanosecond.

Richmond home game next year. That and the Lynch factor should push it well over 80. And then the first Collingwood game will be massive! The rivalry has been reignited. Should be a great, competitive season.

When people get arrogant I always feel it puts the mock on us. There were some very arrogant posts on here regarding that game. Before the game the tv cameras were down in the rooms and there was a pan shot of the players sitting down and leaning against the wall. They looked as flat as pancakes. At that moment I thought we weren't going to win this. I was right.
