Elimination Final Game Day Thread v Lions

[Little Ziggyadee]

Gibcus needs a preaeason of eating plenty of harden the *smile* up.

Drops way too many marks and when he fell over just proves how much work he needs to do to establish himself as A grader.

Neale was extraordinary tonight. He couldn't be tackled and he seemed to hit every target by hand or foot.

One of the all time great finals games by neale.

 

[TigerFurious]

Defense. You won’t win too many finals conceding 100+ points.

 

[dimmauchump]

Y

It actually weent in their favour

Yep gave them another runner early in the game and made their rucks more mobile

 

[asian tetley]

That game personified our season in every way.

Yep.
Not good enough to finish top 4.
Need to bolster the midfield over the off season and recruit some top notch assistant coaches.

Short and Baker have been woeful since resigning.

Defense. You won’t win too many finals conceding 100+ points.

Tell that to Brisblane

Cotchin picked the wrong night to play as Grandpa Cotch

Agree Cotchin tried hard but couldn’t keep up

 

[King Kong]

Short and Baker have been woeful since resigning.

Agree - Baker was terrible tonight. Worst game I've seen him play

 

[dimmauchump]

By the way can we please trade Short. Have never seen a more ineffectual player. An absolute nothing player

 

[achillesjones]

How did you miss Vlastuin!! He kept us in the game.

Yep. I'm annoyed with the other 4.

 

[spook]

I don't care what the final free kick tally was, we got absolutely sodomised by the maggots, especially in the first half to keep those filthy floppers in it.

Still, our flag tilt went with Dion's hammy. Pick 12 for Taranto done on day 1.

Great to meet @AngryAnt and @Mopsy we had fun educating the hillblies anyway.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Why was Short at so many center bounces? I was baffled by it.

 

[HR]

Just goes to show all that the rules and umpiring can influence games.
We didn't lose because of Neil, the AFL overturned an umpire without evidence.
4 goals from free kicks.
I have no one to support now.

Short and Baker have been woeful since resigning.

Short is NOT a mid
i don’t care if that’s the position he wants to play he just ain’t a mid

 

[The Big Richo]

Just a sensational game of footy, one of the best finals matches ever I would reckon. Shame there had to be a loser and shame it was us.

Sums up our season in a way, didn't take our chances in close games and it cost us a genuine premiership shot.

Going to be hard watching the next few weeks knowing we should be there, but the game is in great shape, the new rules are flying and if tonight is any indication it will be a magnificent finals series.

And next year has plenty of promise.

Defense. You won’t win too many finals conceding 100+ points.

Dimma was trying to pinch a flag with chaos and territory.

It didnt work,

But i had fun

We should transplant clydesdale hamstrings into dion

 

[achillesjones]

You're right, Gibcus was terrible, as was Sonsie except for the 2nd quarter -- gave away 2 goals in the 1st quarter

Sonsie and Cumberland were banged up by half time.

 

[craig]

Short and Baker have been woeful since resigning.

Pretty much but Short has been pretty ordinary all year and so too has Baker except for a 3-4 week purple patch.

 

[tigermike]

Baker was a disgrace all night.

In the last qtr he gave us many key defensive acts and spoils.
