OMG surely it couldnt happen.... could it.....

[Ossie]

Reimers! COME ON! 5pts.... 90 seconds...

Not f*cking good enough.
We've had about 100 more possessions, more hitouts, more frees, and Richmond are f*cking rubbish.
And we were in front and had the momentum during the 3/4.
Dempsey's just got one back but unless we can perform two miracles in one year (Anzac Day and today) we are gone.
Finals will be seriously tough now.
Lucas has been ok but Lloyd has barely been near it.

yeah, richmond has been ok mind you. just need to get a functioning forward line. late goal reimers, we could snatch it. do not deserve it tho.

[Ossie]

F*CK!

[Mrs Mercuri]

Losing by 5 points is worse than losing by 29......

Plenty of chances to win the game at the end when it was there for the taking... after playing dodgeball or something for majority of the game.

If the boys kept their head in the last minute or so we just needed to hit a target. Instead the frenetic pace of the last minute got inside their heads and they just bombed long hoping for a mark when the Tigers had every player in our F50. Was never going to happen.

Reimers' dropped sitter right in front in the last few minutes hurt... and could have been the match winner, but to pin it on that would be ludicrous. Just sloppy all over the ground, slack running and ball movement through the middle... just a poor effort all round.

We may be able to make up the number to get into the finals, but that game shows where we're at. Feels like we haven't come very far.

Losing to that f****** rabble when we had everything to gain against them having f*** all to gain is a disgrace. We wont make the finals and nor do we deserve to after that shit. How we can produce such a lacklustre performance with so much at stake I simply do not know.

Oh, and the 5 point margin flattered us, because they kicked our arses until we actually decided to play like we had someting to lose when there was all of 9 minutes left in the last qtr. To little, too late.

And why the hell did we carry players into the game that were carrying injuries? Dumbarses.

f*** IT.

Why Not Frigging TAG Cousins...

Welsh was on him for a while. Instead of tagging Cousins, he was busy turning the ball over.

McPhee did his usual run-with role as well - occasionally got within 50m of Cousins when he played on him.
