Autopsy What just happened? A draw???

There is about 50 minutes of play time over 2 quarter's Einstein. He got involved in the last few minutes and absolutely ****** it with his last kick.
As i said hopefully will learn from it.

Learn from what? He played well, he kicked it long and didnt perfectly nail the kick. Learn that he needs to kick his long kucks slightly better? Hopefully you watch the second half and learn the guy played an excellent game.

To be 50 points up and then to nearly lose, it takes more than Blair and Langdon to do that. The game should have been iced long before the last 60 seconds.

He was no where near the boundary with that kick and didn't even look like going there. He was univolved in the 2nd half before and after his spell.

As i said played an excellent first half poor in the 2nd.

Learn to chew the clock and if you opt to bomb it long bomb it to a flipping contest on the boundary line. It was a panick kick.

I Don't GAF about what people think of me for this.
I enjoyed the game. I enjoyed watching the young players playing well. I won't melt over the result as our season is done and the passion and angst for a win isn't the same because of this. No matter what happens I will always love watching the Pies and will always find something to take solace in when times are bad. Nothing will change that.

Langdon played well too, is a good player, still young. We are coming along nicely.
 
I reckon everyone needs to chill. We are a young side learning. This year against the flag faves we have beat Geelong, Sydney, drew with Crows and lost to GWS by 3. Plus we had that massive comeback win over Hawks.
Losses on our 'marquee games' against Carlton, Dees and Essendon cost us and hurt.
Side by side in the craziest season of AFL in years. Oh yer, and I don't think we've copped a high score thrashing all year.



Nice summary.
 
Wow, I actually thought Blair played alright till that crucial mistake. Should be his last game but I think we said that for around the last 25 games.

Of course it does. The game shifted in the 3rd term. Midfield started lairising and played selfish footy.

Then in the last had zero run.

Those 2 just made dumb decisions which were costly at the deathknell.

What the feck is with the Langdon blame fest?

He tackled Jerka, won a holding the ball decision, well played.

Went back and milked the clock until told to go by the umpire, again well played.

Kicked it long to outside 50 on the flank, where Moore was, again the correct safe play.

The fact nobody bothered to actually fly for the kick wasn't Langdon's fault. We had DeGoey, Sidey and Wells waiting for a spillage and Moore coming late with a half hearted spoiling effort. Anyone of those 4 just attack the pill we win.

As Langdon kicked it outside 50 Kelly had to pass it off, Grundy and Reid were both behind the ball and neither could impact the contest.

Laughable that the bloke who actually won the ball back with a holding the ball, and did what was expected is copping the flack when Si many others actually hurt us in the last minute or so
I'm not a fan of Langdon at all, but this is 100% correct

I love Maynard.. definitely not a midfielder's brain though. Not a fast twitch thinker.

Request permission to use "fast twitch thinker" gimpy. I like that one μάγκα.

Edit: forgot my main point. Maynard is a young player, give him time and he'll blossom. He has lots of natural ability but is still very raw.
 
Yes, and maybe you'll also learn to engage your brain before your mouth springs into action. Your post in another thread during the 2nd quarter about some people " having egg on their faces" reeks of opportunistic and premature arrogance.

As I said, I'll always love watching the Pies. I will always enjoy watching the youngsters come on. If you don't like it, or don't like it when you have egg on your face for being a Langdon hater, then put me on ignore, or just don't read the board. Simple.
 
Too many passengers being picked in this side, we rely on a dozen players to carry the side.

Really? I'm hard pressed to find someone who played bad, sure some players made mistakes but that always happens. We were in total domination in the first half and a bit. I'm more worried about our structure, or lack thereof in our backline and our midfields transition defence. We clogged the forward line too much and left our backline open for some easy transition goals.

Ah, yes.

The 'cant wait for next year' attitude.

I'm quite sure you would have thought that at some point over the previous 5-6 seasons.

How's that worked out? I'm pretty sure we've continued to regress year after year.

But definitely, next year.......
Yeah I understand you feel fairly shattered over today but I'm just trying to be positive. Next year we'll have a new coach, new management - we are on the way up. We can't be a powerhouse within a season, might as well look at the positives and cherish the way up.

not only that.. we then got up by 4 goals with 9 minutes left. and were in front with the ball in hand with 25 seconds left. seriously wtf are these guys doing? They simply don't have a winning culture. They dont know HOW to win.
 
Pendles played vs Melbourne tell me howd that go after being up by 30 at one point?

Pendles is a great player but I dont think he tirns a lot of games tjrough individual impact like Buckley was capable of and to a lesser extent Swan was.
Yep agree!
 
Pert finished up on Friday. Don't listen to the rhetoric. He won't be seen again.
Fair enough. Wouldn't be the first time the mugs on MMM got names wrong. I don't doubt that the huddle of footy dept/officials happened.
