    As I predicted the crowd was under 30,000 and there were dozens of empty seats.

    All season we had composure when behind in a game but last night the occasion might have got to us and we panicked.

    In hindsight Katroumbis on bench. Crazy Geoge at left back, Hoff right back and Pato to start.

    Big fan of Katroumbis but i think Ernie was asking too much of someone so young and inexperieced - with limited game time as well.

    Another point on the crowd...being in different seats surrounded by plastics gave it a different vibe. It just didn't have the feel of the previous week. Having those same faces around you and being able to carry on without tut tutting nearby.
    Give the members their seats and fill the gaps....ain't that hard. I could see a few seats in our usual spot were vacant, about a dozen.

    Yep, it definitely had a better vibe with 10k less last week.

    Until you get rid of the ffa "running" the finals, you will always have this problem. I don't see any reason why the clubs do not keep control of final games, why do the ffa have to get involved at all.

    Here, have some more salt for those wounds.
    30,000 people could see it on the big screen and in their corporate boxes.
    VAR couldnt?
    Surely they have a backup. What prompted them to check it in the first place?

    What was wrong with looking at the Fox coverage as backup?

    Slow down people

    Why the salt about this??

    Yes VAR ****ed up
    Yes the goal should have been not allowed

    But


    We know that this is football

    We had 84 mins to turn it around

    We were not good enough to do so


    Where we need to look is within for the cause of our defeat last night because that where we lost.

    We were not beaten by the ref VAR or Victory


    We beat ourselves

    So stop making excuses

    Why can’t the ref go to the sideline to check this if the VAR is “broken”. He is in communication with the VAR official so he could have been told.

    What is pissing me off the most is that this is being reported as a “controversial “ decision....no a controversial decision would be if a linesman missed a lineball decision and he didn’t have a system in place to get the decisions correct...No my friends this wa simply a case of 1 of 2 things...a) a complete and utter case of incompetence or b) a complete and utter case of conspiracy.

    If the FFA have come out and said the VAR was “broken” then I’m running with b).

    We were not good enough.
    Always difficult to accept but true.

    Wake up....disallowed goal changes the dynamics of the game. We could have lost 4-0, or maybe we went down the other end and scored.

    This is bad.....very bad for the game, not just the Jets.

    Agree...we were more than good enough....second half the victory turned it into a afl spectacle...ball hardly hit the ground

    Melbourne Victory did everything the referee allowed them to do. It might have been ugly but they got the job done. The FFA for their part have been letting Sydney kick the shit out of teams all season and in the grand final the torch was passed to Melbourne who fouled us 17 times or so, including a vicious elbow before even a yellow was produced.

    Again, Melbourne Victory did the job - but if grinding out a result like that is the future of this game in Australia then we might as well follow Rugby League instead where they do thuggery over technical skill better than anyone.

    VAR has been shit sinced it was brought in

    Changes dynamic well duh of course that is correct

    But it also failed last week when we werent penalised for fouling Arzani. Different game at 2-0 Heart ??


    Reality is we did not do enough to win that game last night


    Grand Finals are won and lost by seizing chances capitalising on mistakes and most importantly belief in victory

    Our guys blinked first


    All the sour grapes this morning about the VAR is a poor touch from our supporters


    We lost last night because our efforts were not good enough and we need to develop more as a club to achieve the triumph we aspire to


    Blame the VAR
    Blame the ref


    But all we are doing is veing ungracious losers and failing to acknowledge our failure

    Hey Victory were not great last night

    But

    They won the game fair and square

    They took their chance and busted their arses to claim the prize


    Hats off to them they done what they had to do

    You dont get it mate. This isn't about them shutting us down or us choking.

    It also isn't just salty Jets fans up in arms at the moment. This is about VARs failings coming to a head. Had there been no VAR we'd be pissed off but life would go on.

    Replay is pie in the sky....I reckon they should give us one of the many toilet seat copies and call it a draw.

    Playoff for the direct ACL spot.
