[BulldogBelle]

Etihad *!*!*!*!ing stadium.

Gutted by that loss. We did alot right, but kicked ourselves out of it and I also think Bevo has got to finesse his Men of Mayhem style because we get burned too much with easy goals on turnover.

I see where you are coming from but I think this is our game style and we will execute it better over the next few seasons. Fast forward this game 12 months and we would win this game by 4 or 5 goals.

I have to say this one really hurts, thought we had all the chances we needed but in the end we were beaten by a better disciplined and more experienced team.

Great season and a great day courtesy of the march from Fed square but the result bites hard.

I'm really disappointed. I just feel we lacked self belief in that game. We looked a bit tired. Maybe a bridge too far for a young team. Hamling and Roberts on the whole did a great job but we were easy to score against. I liked what I saw there from those boys at their stage. We were brave and tried to move it down the corridor at times.
Just not much room for error in finals footy.

Agree - bitterly disappointed. Self belief or experience or both. Hamling and Roberts were excellent. What killed us was our execution and turnovers. Anyway it is exciting times ahead.

I guess what I have seen from this special group all year sort of takes a little off the bitter pill. A lot actually. They have been entertaining and great to watch. What a year. Extremely brave and the whole group will be gutted.
The game was well called I thought by Richo and BT. Gosh I wanted us to win. Numb, gutted, gah. Well done lads. Other than the kicking, you played well.

What I wouldn't give for Taylor Walker in our team. I love that guy.

[FrediKanoute]

The tale of lots of easy missed shots.

Yep - bad kicking = bad football and when you have as much of the ball as we did and you continually kick points from set shots you are NOT going to win a final. 3rd quart 1 goal 5 behinds killed us. We kick 5:1 and its ours....

Him and Betts are special. Certainly would be great to have a player of such quality as Tex.

Tom Boyd?

Congratulations to the Crows. Better team on the night won. We will be back next year bigger and better.

Nope. Like someone said more composed but in no way the better team. Go through the stats for just a glimpse.

So many times we had multiple players lining up but at the crucial time we took the wrong option. That will come with experience. Even if were just a little bit more composed we would've cracked them open.

[Hotdog60]

I'm not angry, just disappointed.
I don't think the better team won, I think the more accurate team won.
We should have had this game sown up at 3 quarter time.
Great learning experience for the young guys.

Disappointed, sad for the boys, but not devastated. This was a very special year and the ride had to end some time. Thanks to Bevo and our great club and team for giving me some joy in what was otherwise a pretty shitty year.

Roll on 2016!

How was that kick to Dickson? Insane.
