Ready for tomorrow night.
We are spending a lot of time on 0.0.0.
Brisbane pressure factor 203, Us 153....grrrr.
Game over
We're cooked
Yuck, this is Terrible
We turned up to play or conceded and just want a free holiday to Qld.
Haven't beat anyone above 16th since June. What do you expect?
What a fuzmk joke.
We did play competive footy for alot of that time since (Hawks excepted) but not tonight.
Waiting for the small forwards to be blamed. Even though we have hardly gone there.
Suppose of you turn up with a pile of underdone players this is what you get.
TDK will come on later as sub and give us a pile of run though.....lol.
Must be Fantasia's fault.
Supporters can think what they like. This has nothing to do with Fantasia, or Pittonet, or half fit players or anything else. The last 2 years have shown that we are presently only capable of half a season of very good footy, and clearly that's not enough.
No great team work - no shepherding, no kicking direct - in fact we’re directly kicking to oppo.
Hopefully that Q blew out the cobwebs because now we have got to go!
That sounds like the fitness bloke who is gone after tonight.
I preferred the half a season we played last year. That was at least fun.
Yep, the bomb isn’t working, surprise, surprise…
Lower our eyes, hit targets and run the ball in.
Or just watch the first Q repeat x3
We are embarrassing ourselves big time. This is f…cked
First side in 50 years to go scoreless in the first qtr of a final.
Just speechless, but not at all surprised.
Zero fwd 50 pressure. Zerooooo
We are too good for the likes of Petracca lol.
Imagine the poor supporters that paid their hard earned to go interstate and watch this garbage.
You cant ever trust this mob
Diabolical. game is all over after one qtr of football.
Had to win clearances or break even at worst and thats been diabolically bad.
Can we pls rush a behind
But we are playing 4 small forwards so we have an abundance of pressure....right?......right??
50 minutes of football.
7 touches between our 4 small forwards and Williams has 4 of them himself.
Hate to say i told you so, but cincotta should have played instead of one of them.
And tdk either starts or doesn't play.
Stupid mc.
At what stage do I change the channel and watch something else? Can not bear to watch this.
Careers could be ended tonight
Will we score??
Don’t need to tell me I told you so
This is all on the MC. Not to mention our fitness bloke.
Its not watchable - this is as bad as it gets
This has nothing to do with individual players. We are losing every position, every line, every facet of the game. It will surely be our worst performance for the year.
:-X :-[
Got a 10 goal headstart.
Let's see if we can break some records.
There's enough time....
Just absolutely no forward strategy except kicking to a pack. It’s bizarre.
Yep, it's time to just laugh or cry.
What a @#$%&! utter waste of a season this has become.
Sitting 2nd, we @#$%&! around with selection, play blokes half fit and out of form, no young blokes, lose all form, our fitness blokes kills our side, we play young blokes, do really well, come finals we drop them all to bring back half fit, underdone and out of form big names.
We were in it up to our necks then between a coach/MC and a fitness bloke we have @#$#! a season like no other.
They can all @#$#! right off now. All of them.
Thank Christ for paddy Cripps hey 😂
What a way to screw your membership base. This is not acceptable.
8 goals....
Still plenty of time.....
We did 46 points in opening round....
Rope a dope is working!!!!!... Haha!
Bit hard for small forwards to exert pressure when every long bomb is being picked off.
Every kick forward is to a pack.
That MUST change.
TDK has been great, but they took off a runner in Kennedy and left Pitto on.
Perhaps we should have had some extra mids to give us time up the ground so we had more time to deliver properly.
No team needs 4 small forwards....especially our 4.
We’ll win this
We subbed off a mid for a ruck.
Let’s tactically sub out Kennedy… 🙄
Honestly don't mind Kennedy getting subbed off.
He is essentially playing the same role as tdk. Ruck/forward.
If we want a spark Kennedy isn't going to provide it. He is too slow for Brisbane
As bad as they have been our small forwards are more likely to provide a spark and kick a random goal.
Also Kennedy just had a kid in the last 24/48 hours so he may be a bit tired/distracted.
I’m with Krudds on this, we can win but by Christ we need to change up !
This will be 75 points plus
Why Kennedy and not Cerra?
Why was Cincotta dropped?
100% Pauly, I know we are miles behind but that miss from McKay was deplorable.
I love Kennedy and yes literally his wife just had their baby, but he was playing crap.
We are playing like an U/14 team and making worse mistakes.
Too many players not prepared to put their body on the line when it is needed, "bruise free" footy does not win finals.
Thank GOD we kicked those 2 otherwise I am worried what supporters would’ve done!
We Looked so much better after that so cmon we can do this, cmon!!!! No more stupid kicks directly to opposition, no more unchecked players!
We have now settled.
We know what team we have for the second half (sub made)
We know where we are losing it and what we need to change.
We've got the long break to work it out and implement it.
We've got nothing to lose.
Alternatively, Lions will be going into self preservation mode and will be looking to next week and staying fit for it.
They have no idea what differences we will be coming up with in the 2nd half.
We can catch them napping and kick a few early, then it's game on and we'll have the momentum.
We know how well we can be once we have the momentum with nothing to lose.
Kennedy is the only leadup forward we have and with the form of the Brizvegas defenders, our most likely prospect of winning
Still touched the ball more than 8 of his mates out there.
As I said, good call.
We screwed ourselves making Kennedy the sub in the prelim. He doesn't matchuo well against the Lions.
If we lose by 5 goals it will be a miracle
He didn't look too tired or distracted when the camera panned to him sitting in the back row.
He looked absolutely pissed off. Pit was getting smashed and we go and sub a mid for a ruck.
No sense
I hope for this too ^
Let’s at least make them work for it!
Optimism, but deluded.
They’ll smoke us in the 3rd (60 points by 3 quarter time) and then all the heat goes out of it.
We’ll jag a few but still score less than 50 points
He is, but he doesn't get space on his opponent and our kicking isn't good enough to help him out.
They get the spoil and run away from him and before we know it they have a shot on goal.
Better dribbling it in and letting our small forwards run on to it. At least one of them will be quicker than their opponent.
You just want pit out and find reasons to make it happen.
Probably.
But everyone said the same thing in round 0.
Lightning can strike twice.....probably won't....but can.
Anytime a washed up dud like Fantasia is selected ahead of a promising young kid with x factor like Moir, you've lost me.
7 goals....
6 goals...
Starting to win a few one-on-ones, starting to own a little territory. Is it all as simple as playing De Koning ? It seemed to turn when he came on.
5 goals.....
I did find worse. Geelong lead the Pies 9.6 to 1.0 at half time in the 2020 semi final.
Young has been pretty solid so far
Pressure is up.
Lions are collapsing.
Game on
Motlop can GAGFd as far as Im concerned.
Motlop cost us that goal on the wing/half forward with lack of awareness.
With a fit CC we'd be right back in this
Kemp can't kick, not a natural forward
Corey "fumbles" Durdin....DO something.
Durdin & Motlop are duds - end of story !!
Maybe.
I think him not playing is making us more unpredictable and it's working for us.
His record in finals is poor because we keep going to him when it's 3 on 1.
100% should not be playing. The evidence was there. The MC have blinkers on and have no clue
Good to see the coaches making changes that have positive effects, and good to see the boys make it some sort of contest, but the gap will be too big to make up IMO.
Harry's mark not paid and then the free against cripps could've been game changing.
Very poor by umps.
Come on mate we’re 40 points down, not 4.
Shows how good TDK is. He was our best during our streak and he has made us competitive here.
Yeah and it's the difference between being 34 point down and 40.
That's a big mental hurdle to overcome.
...and it was simply a flat out wrong decision.
He clearly couldn't see so pay the mark.
Nobody hangs him if he does and ots wrong because he couldbt see.
I would have subbed Pitto and I don’t have an agenda
TDK worth everything!
McG - I’ve had enough. Cannot trust him, plays for frees, doesn’t have the heart for hard work. Seeya 👋🏼
HUGE shout out to George! Has been consistent all game, tough and hard working 👏🏽
If we started the game the way we played that third quarter then we may have been well in this but to go into protection mode for the first half has cost us the win.
Heads have to roll after this, there can be no sugarcoating this effort.
All blues fans have been sold a team of imposters.
George has been huge
Has always been like that and its oneof the many reasons I don't like him.
Cowan has been really growing into his place in the team.
Carlton are sh$t
All over. You cannot give up a 10 goal start and hope to win a game of football. There will be some junk time goals, but 2024 is done.
Docherty looks stuffed.
Agree LL Let's not gloss over the 60-0 start.
Embarrassing.
We're nowhere near the mark.
Need to clean out 6-8 players.
Still back him in over half our team fro. Here though.
We still have a pulse.
Cowan & Cincotta are my favourite players because they actually care & forget about self-preservation in their pursuit of winning the contest.
Sure, but it was 46 points in round 0 and we won.
At least we don't roll over
Always going to happen as, like a few others, he was underdone for a final. He more so. He'll give you an effort always though.
I was more worried about the knee given it's 6 months only since his last reco. So far ok.
What I’d give for an A grade forward pocket.
Cameron threw a punch. He'll be fine though as he's a good bloke
The best one we have we haven't signed yet.
Kennedy subbed while Motlop is playing is absolutely criminal.
Zac Williams looks around like it’s someone else’s problem lmao.
Dude ain’t a backman
Zac Williams wowee.
Connected too.....insufficient force aka superstar discount.
Sorry but why was Kennedy subbed ahead of Cerra?
That's why we moved him out of defence.
Williams has been moved back into defence and he spuds it up like he used to do.
If can't make it as a small forward then he has no place on our list because he sure as hell isn't a mid and he is as loose as a bride's nightie in defence.
Newman the only one with any aggro in our club
Why was cerra picked at all
I saw that, he should be suspended for that without fail.
Again, begs the question why we didn’t keep Cinc in the HBF, drop Durdin, and keep Williams as Forward pocket
Bizarre MC
8 min under this utter waste of a season is done.
Because we are a dumb club and the MC has no idea
Do it for Doc.
I’d throw a decent offer to Cam Rayner.
Aggro + elite disposal + 1.5 goals a game
80% fwd 20% mid
Newman ain't playing round 1 next year
Another year in the bin folks.
Exactly !!!
Our people are dumb dumb dumb !!!
Neale ran at him. He was protecting himself.
