How are you feeling right now????

[Jeffers1984]

I've had my sleep and nup, still in an unleash a murderous rampage on the umps mode.

i'm an absolute mess
worst night of my life

[Dave]

I'm still very pissed off.

You just cannot have (several) umpiring descisions influencing a final in that way.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that you know in advance that pricks like McLaren and Goldspink are going to ****** us over but nothing is ever done about it.

******head Geishen will probably come out and say "yes, there was a mistake in not giving Goodes a free for being legged, or Baz for having his arms chopped, or reversing that Leo free, or penalising Ball for going for a legitimate mark and Baz for a legitimate wrestle then mark"
But it's too late isn't it?

A H&A game is one thing but a final another.

I feel like like crap. Couldn't sleep as I was too chirned up. I hate losing when we were the better team. Why do the umpires hate us so much? We will never, ever win a flag. I wish the team would fold and I could have some life again. Stuff the AFL. Sydney is a token team only so they can say it is a national competition.

[Mel]

My anger is still there as well. I tossed and turned last night and every time I woke up I would picture one of the ridiculous calls against us. It's heartbreaking. We were all so pumped yesterday, it really did feel like it was our year and then we get it taken away from us by something that was beyond our control.

If we feel like this, imagine how the players and coaching staff feel?

[big bear]

Gutted. Those three incompetent tossers screwed our boys. I feel empty and depressed. Go the bloods.

[satchmopugdog]

Devastated. It has taken me until now to get on here. I couldn't have stood it Footyhead or someone similar had gone about the loss. It would have sent me into a spiral that would nee tripling of my antidepressants. I feel strong enough now to read the posts.

So it's off to Mt. Buller and another game to prepare for.

Why do I do this to myself?

Great to see Simon, Peter et.al. on the sidelines at the match.

I have pretty much steered clear of RWO until now. Just too much pain bitterness hate and sadness. I left the Aussie Rules club pretty much straight away. Didn't want to go out in all my stuff, with people wanting to ask me the score (including this typical ****wit cocky Eagle-supporting twat who i swear i nearly belted).

Some people can vent at the umpiring. For me that is how some people cope with a loss like this. I tried to go to sleep but just couldn't. Couldn't say anything, think anything, just numb, ashen-faced, silent. After about an hour of this I started on thinking of another golden opportunity for a flag fly out the window. at last the emotions started to free up. I shed a tear or 2, quickly, silent, mournfully.

i have seen this all too many time before. I don't think I can handle much more of this emotional rollercoaster.The feelings of my own excestentialism and its devoidness of purpose came to the fore last night. There is no joy in any of this any more. The gut-wrenching feeling off loss is akin to somebody losing a loved one I think. Just that the loved one doesn't kick it straight to an opposition player 45 metres out from goal.


I am so proud of my team that it hurts. But I am just utterly devastated. we had our chance to set ourselves up to win a flag. we let it slip, again.

we can only hope that Geelong & Melbourne mutilate themselves this weekend.

Thank God I didn't go to Perth. That is all I can say. Simon & Cheer Squad Steve must be feeling like crap flying home today.

I wish I hadn't read that last post JF - just when I was starting to feel a bit better too!

I'm taking things one emotion at a time at the moment.

Now, I'm just feeling more determined not to see the team go out in straight sets. I'm ready for next week, I think.

[Diego]

Its not all that bad - yet. We get another chance at least. That?s what is cheering me up and keeping me feeling positive.

I am more angry at moments in the game that cost us maybe winning the game than actually mourning the loss. The boys played well and with passion. I am extremely happy about that. Worried about injuries to willo and NOG

IMHO We conquered subi and built lots of character by coming away with a 4 point loss in front of a hostile crowd. Subi was always going to be tough. Playing against 43,000 people would be extremely hard if you know what I mean.

I still think we can do it. Onwards to Victory BLOODS!

[Bazman]

Thanks J.F, you have summoned up every emotion I?ve been through in the last 18hrs I?ve gone through disappointment too total anger this afternoon. The Rollercoaster ride continues.

[BonBon]

I pulled up better than I thought. I felt fine. I am just pumped to see everybody on the weekend.

[cruiser]

Put those bastard umpires bhind us and focus on winning the next three games. That's all, just 3 games!

mod edit - please refrain from the extreme language and evasion of the swear filter.

I have moved on. I was still very down on Saturday morning. But luckily I did the right thing and went to the futbol World Cup qualifier. A few "Twist & Shouts" later and I was pretty much right as rain.

Am optimistic about Geelong. They are skilful. But in my view very soft as well.
