      Where are the people who think Parker is expendable ?? Where was Dawson in this game with him spraying kick swhile Parker was leading from the front .. as he ALWAYS does !

      Florent , Bell Wicks no good . Hayward runs around like an inflatable man flapping his arms around trying to take marks but doesnt do much .

      Melican awful

      Chad shouldnt have played , was awful .

      Rowbottom can hold his head high , hes no good but he was one of the ones who gave an F in that 3rd .

      Heeney Buddy frustrating , not sure either can be relied on these days . Heeney still a tease

      Good year but disappointing finish . Lots to work on but that can be a good thing i spose

        Yes, there were at least a hundred similar incidents in the game which were not penalised. I think it was ridiculous over-officiation. Either pay ALL of them or pay NONE of them. But paying SOME of them is why people get so pissed off by umpires and also presents a danger to the wellbeing of televisions across Australia.
        Yep its the 'sometimes' bit that drives me @@@@ing bonkers. Pay 'em all or never pay 'em.

        I nearly had a coronary when there was both a throw and a holding the ball paid against GWS in the 2nd half. Only about 475 other occasions where they werent.

            Lol well at least your consistent Bloods - couldn't resist one last chance to bash RB could you..... he was one of the key cogs in turning that game around today, whether you think so or not.

            Is he still in and out of games - sure. Was his season nowhere near what he would have hoped - sure. But is he 'no good' - keep smoking whatever it is you do (or start smoking something), because its just nonsense.

                  Pre season this year, I said i would be delighted with 8-10, but if we fell into the 8 and got knocked out in the elim, my expectations would be well exceeded.
                  Bleeding tonight, but the cut is not very deep.
                  Roll on 2022.

                    Yep, they'll fine him. A lot of focus on Bell but there are 22 guys out there. We got a bit far behind and then the six straight behinds.
                    Sometimes you need a bit of luck too, the Wicks one bounces differently and we win. GWS are a good side and they were never
                    going to die wondering. If someone had told you at the start of the season we were going to play finals this year, you would have
                    taken it in a heartbeat.

                      Can’t remember who else mentioned it, but that Melican decision to ignore Heeney was at least as bad if not worse than the missed shots on goal by a few. Truly awful.

                      I’ve been one to tolerate Melican and see his occasional upside, but between that and getting spanked by Hogan, oh boy.

                      I did know we were a KPD short, but we REALLY are. Time to find McCartin’s companion for the next decade.

                          And Luke Hodge should get suspended from commentary duties, for trying to frame it as "totally accidental". The footage shows the Grub walking up to Stevic, while looking straight at him, and choosing to bump him on the way past. To believe that it was accidental, you would have to believe that a professional sportsman, with excellent hand eye coordination, somehow couldn't spot a fluoro clad umpire, one metre in front of him. Well, either that, or he did spot Stevic, but couldn't make the necessary adjustment to miss him, at walking pace.

                            Lots of tears in my house. We were just so close.

                            Such a good year that comes crashing to an end. So close to making top 4, so close to winning the game today. It is a wide open finals series and unfortunately we will miss out. It always sucks to lose when you have more scoring shots. Missed opportunity. The players will be gutted.

                            Hopefully the young brigade can learn from the experience and find a way to keeping improving. GWS were a bit bigger and stronger, and unfortunately cleaner, which is key reason we lost.

                            We had a couple of big injuries at the end, but you don’t get many years where that doesn’t happen.

                            Really pleased with the efforts, but it will be a long six months.

                              You had to do it didn’t you. Be boring, one dimensional and miserable one last time. Enjoy your off season.
