From the fox footy crew baying for it to happen to everyone in the crowd waiting for it happen. This club is an embarrassment. I hate that is associated with me by everyone that knows me. I need to unravel myself from it.

As predictable as anything has ever been that North would kick the last 5 and we'd stop again. I knew it would happen from the moment that Cripps was smiling like a [REDACTED] going to 3 quarter time huddle. A decent leader would have been calling for calm and reminding everyone to focus. 1 more to go. Instead he carries on like a peanut like job done. He is as much to blame for all this as anyone and of he was half a leader, he'd be sitting there with Voss in the presser to share the responsibility

Tank the year, finish last and then ask the AFL for 2,000 draft points that can be added to a draft pick of choice. Take a gun kid with pick 1 and then combine the Swans pick with the points handout to be used on Cody.


I don’t think we will have to do any tanking

Generally, alot is attitude. Mid 2023 proved that. We went from an utter rabble to superstars in a week back then, and stayed that way.


I agree but there’s a lot of 101 stuff missing throughout the course of the game from the first bounce.

Game got too fast?

If we are fit, we are too slow.

The players didn’t recruit themselves.

No point.
He'll probably reverse his nomination and go to the Tigers as an NGA anyway. :lol:
You gotta laugh. Otherwise this mob will send you @#$%&! insane.
Voss is probably on the way out but he's been sold a pup. Key defenders other than Weitering are Derksen and Young. Key forwards other than the selfish, soft number 10 are.........
Non existent.

Thank you

Agree

No way north could win this without the umpires bias …blatant

Unfortunately that won’t be the headline or the story

I’m not attending any more games this year.
Costs me a couple thousand for the effort. @#$%&! that

Beating Carlton like that is no big deal. These teams want medals. We are Fitzroy and every team knows it ... and we know it. I don't even think sacking the coach will help. Loser mentality is so ingrained. I am starting to believe I will never see a premiership. Running out of time.

So instead of fading in 2nd halves, we now fade in the 2nd half of 2nd halves.

Progress baby!

Feels weak blaming the umpires and can't be sure they cost us the game, but boy it's hard to avoid the impression that they play to a narrative, and the prevailing narrative is that Carlton Always Chokes, and everything sure seemed to be aligned with that.

Yeah yeah yeah

We coulda shoulda woulda

What hope have we got against that sort of umpiring.

Right from the word go, it was obvious….

Last qtr Ollie trip, the front on hit, the Evans boundary decision

Straight after those 2 criminal calls last week when we were 20 up

We wouldn’t have lost either if umpires were fair.

Club has to stand up to umpires.
We are their whipping boy.

It’s fkd up.

AFL crushed our club, now this….the umpires

I know we are our own worst enemies, but I am standing up against for our team

I’m in Singapore but I wasn’t to stand in front of the umpires building and demonstrate against this blatant cheating against Carlton

Can’t stand this. It’s like the genocide in Palestine. Everyone just watches the crime and no one does anything to stop it.

Phaaaaaaarrrrrrque


You are @#$%&! delusional honestly mate.

Received a text from son in Oz

“I’m a swans supporter now”

I responded with bullshit

He says he “needs to detox from Carlton”

I asked him what he thought about umpiring

He and even his friends said “umpiring was Absolute joke”

Thanks afl, thanks umpires, thanks Carlton.

I’m going to get pissed and have some fun in the sun

He can get [REDACTED], our biggest lead was 22 and they only got up by 10 in the dying seconds, that's the worst vs-Carlton comeback of the year

At the end of the day it all comes back to the coach weather it’s the list being good enough or not this is Voss game plan so if it is not working it’s on him to change but unfortunately he is not up to it he should be sacked first thing tomorrow morning

But still… The biggest 3rd quarter comeback against Carlton in their club’s history.

Cripps & Hewett pissfarting around with the ball in the centre & turning it over in Q4 was about when I was done.

Just really don't care like I once did. Even when we were in front we didn't look much good.

How many times did we get caught HTB today FFS??


When did Byrne come on? I didn't notice him until late & it felt like the sub days.

I feel the same. I'm glad I can remember 72, 79, 81, 82, 87 and 95.
I need something productive to get angry about on the weekends. :banghead:
