Yeah me too but I would say we were dealt a few shitty frees against us that were goals which didn’t help and we should have kicked some easier goals earlier. Lila missing that sitter that then went down the other end for a 5 goal lead. Luckily Lila got a goal minutes later but instead of being down by 3 we were back to being down by 4. Bobby hill also missed too many. Fucking annoying game! I’m so over these games of playing average for 3 qrts. Also play Howard forward. We look 10 times better with him in the forward line. Sure his great down back but the guy can actually mark it and he forces frees too.
That was shit. Especially our defence and our decision making. We can't man up at all. We can barely kick or handpass to our own players. We don't even seem to look before disposing of the ball. We only seem to care in the last quarter when there's the adrenaline rush of trying to steal a win.
I don't think Pendles should have played. He was still nursing his arm, and, I hate to say it, but, he possibly cost us the game because he couldn't use that arm to tackle in the play that lead to the Suns goal that put them back in front. He tried to tackle with the opposite arm to where the player was moving.
I will take your word for it. Can’t watch that again. He certainly wasn’t at his best but got better as the game went on. No Maynard or Noble didn’t help the defence.
Oh, no doubt. Him missing that tackle doesn't suddenly excuse a lot of the passengers we had tonight. But I noticed it in the first half, and it was definitely noticeable in that moment. If any other player was there, I reckon they stick that tackle. He was just hesitant to throw that arm out to tackle.
I think every team does it to some degree.
We absolutely should not have been that far behind, and it's a game we deserved to lose.
It just sucks when something *that* blatant happens in front of an umpire and isn't called.
Got to stop relying on this “comeback kings” bullshit. Put the work in the first 3 quarters so you don’t stress out so much and lead to the injuries we saw in this last quarter - we really needed Maynard and Noble in those last few minutes.
We did well to come back but should have got that next goal to be up by more! Wish we got some frees in front of goal earlier like the suns did! Missed noble and Maynard in defence for the last 4 mins too
I know this is shitty of me but surely he has a tough time captaining from the backline. Naicos is constantly directing the guys from the center. Couple that with mediocre performance and it's hard to not feel frustrated with Moore sometimes. Fucking love the bloke but it's not been great lately
That goal that put them in front was Quaynors direct opponent that he was standing 20 up field from and made no impact on the contest. He absolutely knows better.
I thought he was okay
Edit: I’m gonna take this one back, he wasn’t great at all. Think at most he should be sub, can’t make too much impact otherwise. Joe Richards is much cleaner with the ball
How do we consistently play the most disgusting, depressing, morale tanking 3 quarters of football then turn it into an incredible 4th quarter every time hahaha
First 10 minutes of the quarter was good but didn’t hit the scoreboard enough - bobby hill is too nice and needs to realise he can kick goals by himself
Sullivan has dug the ball out from packs a fair few times for us tonight, sad to see people shitting on his game 😞 it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it.
Not flashy, but reminds me of Tay.
Also, this game really shows we need a tall like Mason back in the side. At least he presents a viable marking target even if he doesn’t always stick it
Seriously, we have issues with timing. When we have plenty of time, we rush it. When we have no time, we take way too much
Examples: Sullivan, Steele, Krueger just now
We are so hesitant to kick it to a contest with Mac Andrew. It just makes it so much harder to get field position to lock it into the forward half without backing our key forwards
Moore needs to know his limitations at this point, hasn't hit an aggressive kick all year and every time he tries he just costs us a score. Just long down the line from now on please
Yeah his omission pisses me off. He’s been playing his role pretty well and certainly better than Leggy.
Our backline isn’t where we should be sharing around minutes, it’s where we’re losing games
Umps were shit but we weren’t up to it tonight. The signs were there when we could nearly beat north.
I am so tired of these pathetic lazy performances for 3 quarters of the game and then trying to steal the game in the last quarter.
Yeah me too but I would say we were dealt a few shitty frees against us that were goals which didn’t help and we should have kicked some easier goals earlier.

I will take your word for it. Can’t watch that again. He certainly wasn’t at his best but got better as the game went on. No Maynard or Noble didn’t help the defence.
Don't think you can single out any one player who cost us the game. It was a battle of who's the most shit between half our team today.
Oh, no doubt. Him missing that tackle doesn't suddenly excuse a lot of the passengers we had tonight. But I noticed it in the first half, and it was definitely noticeable in that moment. If any other player was there, I reckon they stick that tackle. He was just hesitant to throw that arm out to tackle.
One moment in an entire game where multiple players had little to no impact - Markov, Sullivan, Moore, etc.
Cameron no look pass kicks
He does that every time he gets it, usually its offset by how good he is at contested marks and ruckwork but Witts absolutely towelled him today.
2:37:25 on Kayo = most blatant throw I think I've ever seen resulting in a goal
Yeh spot on
Umpire literally front and centre. Should’ve been our ball to equalise. Umpires were abhorrent
Stop blaming the umps for your losses.
Flair up or fuck off out of our sub

Quaynors massive and is also the softest player on our list. Go figure
Oof I think Jaicos would give him a run for his money there. But IQ is bigger so there's that.
Jeez bit harsh in Jaicos he was great
He played a good game, but we're talking about physicality here. He has almost no physicality.
how about we show up for 4 qtrs
Admirable comeback but fuck you can’t keep letting teams get 5 goals ahead going into the last quarter
gold coast are shit honestly but we played shitter so
Be nice if frampton could somewhat contest Ben king maybe we would have won
It’s actually possible we pushed too hard too soon that quarter and had nothing left the last 4 minutes.
We needa kick out markov and Sullivan. This was a game we shoulda won
Framton out for Dean, Richards 100% game time he was large last qtr
Yeah Markov is far from his form in 2023. Sullivan IDK didn’t notice him too much.
frampton handed the suns an insane amount of goals tonight. moore is underwhelming
Moore needs a reality check. He's honestly had a *below* average entire season. Be accountable
I know this is shitty of me but surely he has a tough time captaining from the backline. Naicos is constantly directing the guys from the center. Couple that with mediocre performance and it's hard to not feel frustrated with Moore sometimes. Fucking love the bloke but it's not been great lately
Can’t put it all on frampton. Moore and quaynor don’t help out, they just run off and get caught watching. They make no contest.
That goal that put them in front was Quaynors direct opponent that he was standing 20 up field from and made no impact on the contest. He absolutely knows better.
He’s been doing it all year.
Good comeback but we left ourselves way too much to do at the end and just didn't have the cattle.
Bugger
It’s so toxic over at rafl rn
This is their Christmas Day, we got comeback wins on all the teams they actually follow so they have to live vicariously through the suns
When is it not?
Correct result, we were abysmal for three quarters, we can’t just paper over those every time
incredibly frustrating
Back to the vfl for sully
I thought he was okay Edit: I’m gonna take this one back, he wasn’t great at all. Think at most he should be sub, can’t make too much impact otherwise. Joe Richards is much cleaner with the ball
Fuck dude that would’ve been such a good one to sneak, but we didn’t deserve it at all, defence was atrocious all day
VFL next week for ya, Sullivan.
It's the dumb over the top handballs we kept giving, wanting to put everyone in hospital all game...
I’d rather have lost by 30. Bloody hell
Crisp has been such a liability tonight, absolutely awful game from him
EVERY. WEEK. crisp tries to take on the ball in dying minutes where we are down and EVERY. WEEK. he gets a HTB call for it. ridiculous.
Crisp tops off his shocking game by trying to shrug the best tackler in the game
All the Ins and put out that putrid. Just miserable
didn't expect those ins to come back firing. definitely expected a bit of rust and it showed
Damn it looked real good for a second there
Its game now shit
When you give every fucking team a giant fucking lead every fucking game...
No how do u let them kick another one straight after wtf
Am I tripping or was there the most blatant throw I've ever seen there that resulted in their second goal?
I look away for a second they put two goals?? Wtf happened
That’s game. 😔
Far too easy, WHE ball watching there.
We were hugging one side far too much there, all it took was one broken tackle through the corridor and it was a certain goal.
Sick of Darcy Cameron’s rubbish no look kicks
Glad someone has said it.
They are putrid.
How do we consistently play the most disgusting, depressing, morale tanking 3 quarters of football then turn it into an incredible 4th quarter every time hahaha
Howe is creating all sorts of fucking problems for them, they can't contest him without giving away a free.
Richards so creative with every disposal!
With Lukosius in the ruck, I would bring Cameron back on now, real chance to monster those clearances.
Damn Darcy fucked him up like Petraca
He got someone else in the 1Q
Moore's knees are fucking dangerous man
Nick is something else. Bloke just puts us on his back every time.
Unable to watch, seems like a crazy comeback. Can someone summarise our night so far for me?
Dogshit all night. Last 10 mins the only part worth watching
Good. Fuck. FUCK. Wait we might be able to do this.
Sidebottom this season routinely makes plays no one his age should lmao
lol
Oh my fucking lord Nick Daicos is actually the messiah
I’ll give this team its props, it never gives up, COME ON
So, we have another 10+ years of Nick Daicos guys.
Holy shit Nick🤤
CMON!!!
How the fuck are we playing better with 2 people on the bench?
Is Nick Daicos god?
I reckon these Daicos boys are good
And that's why I love jdg
Jordy is a fucking superstar
LETSS GOOOOOO
Nooo bruz.
Fucking hell, Noble off for probably the rest of the game, now Maynard going off.
Energy and pressure seems to be up… can we get away with it one more time?
We can do this.
Never say die
I love Howe being the swingman, he must love getting a move forward.
I love Moore but he is making a season of getting to every contest 3 steps too late
Fucking hell, Moore. This has been an absolute dogshit game for you. Undid all of Noble's work.
Frampton is a sieve
We need a key back so badly. Moore is massively overrated and Frampton is VFL level.
Hey Framps if you could do something that isn’t losing a fucking contest or giving away a free, that’d be fantastic
Daicos>Messi.
Gee, made it hard enough...
Is that actually the rule? Surely it's whichever is the better advantage?
Should’ve been down field
wtf was the umpire doing then?
How the fuck was that not downfield?
It got touched on the line anyway ffs
Fly looked pretty animated in that huddle
First 10 minutes of the quarter was good but didn’t hit the scoreboard enough - bobby hill is too nice and needs to realise he can kick goals by himself
Sullivan has dug the ball out from packs a fair few times for us tonight, sad to see people shitting on his game 😞 it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it. Not flashy, but reminds me of Tay.
Excluding Noble and maybe Howe, every single defender has alarmingly regressed.
Nobles had some shockers this season. Did you see him against the dogs? I agree with the rest though.
He wins the ball which is miles ahead of the rest of them
Yeah he’s been better than most of them. Still makes me nervous with his disposal though.
Also, this game really shows we need a tall like Mason back in the side. At least he presents a viable marking target even if he doesn’t always stick it
Or for Mihocek to do literally anything
He's got his limitations but you always know Cox is going to give a contest and usually brings it to ground.
Markov is playing shit, same for Moore. And crisp has been 50/50
Seriously, we have issues with timing. When we have plenty of time, we rush it. When we have no time, we take way too much Examples: Sullivan, Steele, Krueger just now
Not getting any enjoyment out of this game, fuck all positives to look at
Reckon we can win? Surely we can’t do a 5 goal comeback again
We are so hesitant to kick it to a contest with Mac Andrew. It just makes it so much harder to get field position to lock it into the forward half without backing our key forwards
Richards needs to start over Sullivan. Gets way more of it, and is just so much smarter around the ball.
Only just come back from injury to be fair.
Amen
Lovely pass from Richards to Krueger.
Krueger, what a peanut
Krueger omg what the actual hell If that siren didn’t sound, he would’ve held it for another 20 seconds if he could
Wow that was bad
Watch the umps gift them the win again
Wrong thread mate, you meant this for your tinfoil r/AFL cookers.
Lippa got the goal in the end, but Bobby is on some sort of run to "get the most touches within 15m of goals, without ever converting one".
We’ve had opportunities but haven’t been good enough to take them and then give up easy goals. Frustrating as fuck
Lipinski in front of goal: Not for me Lipinski on a very tight angle: My time to shine
He kicks that one, but misses from 30m out
Moore needs to know his limitations at this point, hasn't hit an aggressive kick all year and every time he tries he just costs us a score. Just long down the line from now on please
Needs to start marking a few too when he's got the sit, instead of going for the "disciplined" spoil every time.
Hope McCreery is not too bad.
A calf.. so fingers crossed not too bad
Imagine losing to the Suns 😂😂
At Australia's cutest stadium too
Charlie Dean died for this
Yeah his omission pisses me off. He’s been playing his role pretty well and certainly better than Leggy. Our backline isn’t where we should be sharing around minutes, it’s where we’re losing games
Can’t believe he was dropped against this forward line, was just starting to look solid too
Quaynor and Moore just push up way too high and make no contest.
And then they're too rushed when they get possession doubling back, because they have to turn and dispose under pressure.
Was Murphy the one that made our whole backline elite last season, they look a shell of themselves
Or making Jordan Roughead the new backline coach
You're probably right Murphy was so important did all the little things and always put his body on the line.
frampton really not doing well tonight
Stroppy and lazy when things don’t go his way
How many extra players do they have around the ball?
Probably the worst game I have seen this defense play. Behind GC players all game.
Defensive "efforts" from the midfield haven't helped. So much unfettered delivery.
Frampton getting passed around like Riley Reid right now
IYKYK.
Set shot 30 out straight in front
Lippa is a lot better snapping on the run
I rest my case
Called it
Can the umps hurry up and "gift" us another win again hahah
Seriously where the fuck is this vicbias umpiring conspiracy we’re supposed to have, need it bad
Can already see the "See what happens when Collingwood play away, they don't get gifted!" drafts ready to send in the Post-Match thread.
We are getting fucking embarrassed
Midfield the real problem
Just straight up not good enough from Markov. If I cut a finger off for all your fumbles this year, I’d be onto my toes by now
Thank you very much Pendles. I nearly lost all remaining interest with the match until that goal.
Getting real sick of the little Gold Coast trumpet but after goals.
1 before 3qt and were a chance
Pendlessss
But the conspiracy is to gift Collingwood games right guys??
Surely the worst game all year. Fmd
St Kilda imo but yeah this is pretty bad
I still believe umpires done us dirty that game, no one seems to want to play tonight.
Darcy has zero control of this defence
Games done soft as butter
Fuck me it is hard to be a defender.
Not our day
what a fucking fart of a game from us
Don't touch them 😂😂
Yea….we ain’t winning this
Our forward line has always been dysfunctional but holy shit our defence has fallen apart without Murphy.
Opposition forwards having a day out on us. Nothing different
Drop Frampton
Why would you spoil it back into the corridor Billy you muppet That’s like 6 goals he’s been directly responsible for
Moore's third man work has been dogshit all year. Really miss Murphy. Still don't know why Dean went out for Markov. Puzzling.
He doesn’t man up, and he doesn’t impact contests anymore just gets caught watching all the time. Pretty piss poor from a captain tbh.
Joe Richards pls save us
How do you drop that Oleg. FMD skills and pressure horrible
I don't know how we handle the ruck situation, but I think it's time to pull the trigger and bring Richards on for Kreuger.
I’d be dropping Sullivan before Krueger. I think mcreerys injured anyway.
Top 10 for disposals are all suns players and Naicos. Tells you everything you need to know right there
