what scares me is our game plan we give back to the opposition to many F....k n times, happening all year coaches have to come with new game style that prevents this from occurring LONG BOMBS straight to melb players . We were very lucky last night and sometimes with luck you can go FAR .

Don't worry, I wholeheartedly agree with this too, I was utterly apoplectic with anger and frustration at the shit-show performance in the 3rd quarter where we squandered backline exits time and time again.

Kicked a lousy 2.2 when we were in front and could/should have put the game away only to surrender the lead.

Don't know if I can watch that Q again.

A lot of talk about how Melbourne kicking inaccuracy at goal.

I think for ever missed chance they had we cost ourselves 3 goals with disastrous turnovers up the ground.

Poor kicking is not just at goal

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

I was thinking about this when it was mentioned on the radio this will be our first preliminary final in 23 years. That's exactly half my life, hard to fathom that four flags between my 4th and 18th birthdays would be followed by such a pile of dung. Harder still to wrap my head around the idea of 80%, 90%, even 100% of one's footy consciousness being so starved of top table nourishment. Whatever happens the rest of this month, we really need this to continue for the next few years; we've served our sentence!

i saw that WTf ,,,,they took attacking from half back to another level

I wrote that on the 31st of May in the Sobering Statistic thread... this is no longer true. I've seen more passion in my 2 boys the last 2 weeks than I'd ever thought possible. They love the Blues. They @#$%&! LOVE the Blues.

The Blues have made my boys happy. The have made me delirious. I love this club

So true. The Dees should be grateful they got a point added to their score for their bad kicks. We got nothing for ours.

All of them were exceptional in that play.
Ollie Hollands for a moment again if you will. A young young player under the most incredible pressure imaginable, positions himself brilliantly for the Weitering outlet kick. Takes a hot mark with his opponent 2 meters away. If he drops it Melbourne goals and we lose His litttle pass to Doc was shallow but I think intentional. It gives Docs Melbourne opponent a sniff but he overran the spoil lost his feet Doc is as off and the rest is history. If the pass was more lateral Docs opponent wouldn’t have attempted the spoil. Doc would have had to kick over the mark and the next passage likely would t have happened. We lose.
Then there was Ollie’s run down tackle which turned it over to us. If this didn’t happen the ball was heading to the Melbourne goal square.

Two brilliant game defining plays from Hollands. Exceptional

Fraser Brown to Justin Murphy to Brett Ratten back to Murphy springs to mind too

The 95 GF is possibly my earliest football memory. I was almost 7.

It's hard to say for sure, because I have vague memories of watching us play at Princes Park, and a game my Dad took me to at Waverley against the Hawks. They might have been before the flag.

My Dad's side of the family all went to my uncle's to watch the game. Only 2 of the 5 families were Blues supporters, but we all watched the GF together every year back in those days.

My uncle Joe (Blues supporter) picked Sticks out of the hat as the first goal kicker, and I was shattered. I ended up with Justin Madden, which everyone thought was hilarious because my name's Justin.

I remember Sticks and Pearce kicking goals, because they were my favourite players. I remember playing markers in the pack at half time with my cousins. But that's about it.

Most of my memories of that game come from watching the replay a few times over the years. I'm hanging for a flag that I'll be able to remember fully.

The funny part is, I've got two kids of my own now, close enough to 1 and 3. If we end up winning a flag (or 3 ) over the next few years, they'll potentially be in the same boat that I was.
