    Gia's miss in the last

    Radio commentators almost all said if he nailed it, they thought the Saints wouldn't come back, thus we would go into the GF. How did the loyalists see it?

      Pressure situation you have to sink them. 35 out, minimal pressure, 45 degree angle and an open goal, a player of Gia's skill should've nailed that.

        Gilbee just never misses those.

          I got the impression it was touched off the boot?

            It was a shot of medium difficulty on his wrong foot that didn't miss by much. Maybe it would have won us the game, maybe the Saints would have still kicked 2 and won by a point, we can hypothesise all we want but it still missed and we still lost. I'm sure Gia's pretty ****ing upset about it, but I bet nobody was cursing him for kicking a great goal in the 3rd.

              Sure Gia missed...but there were a number of others that should've converted too. That's what the best teams do...and we're not there yet.

                At first I thought it was touched the way it came off the boot. Just a terrible shank.

                  Blew opportunities in the first and last badly.

                  Gia, Gilbee, Griff & Higgo all to blame for it.

                      Ward dribbling a kick into a St Kilda defender... I think he wont do that again.

                        People around me were yelling 'Johno's all on his own' and I had to counter 'Gilbee running into goal from 40 odd out I take over passing it'

                        Still can't believe he shanked it

                        Though on Gia's miss - I'm waitin to watch the last quarter on Fox (it's late in the 3rd now) but I got the feeling he could've swung onto his right..or even kept running towards goal.

                        Meh, what ifs
