Shiggins - Foley lost you that game by not starting his best halves, or telling his Defensive line to get up in To'omua's face.

Having the likes of Carter, To'omua and an actual hooker made a huge difference tonight.........

Still, the Brumbies don't have a good enough goal kicker which could be costly in the finals............

I'm purely depressed right now. Fuck fuck fuck. Before the game I thought either way I'll be proud and happy about the season but we just had no chance. That second half. That second half! Yeh,....

Im not sure that lost it for us, but not selecting Matheson and Ebersohn was a big call. I guess he wanted to reward the guys who had worked in the second half of the season. But our strength was when everyone was fit. Wrong choice.

Brumbies, well done, much better team, now go and do something in the finals!

What's worse is that we won more games then the chiefs and depending on tomorrow more then the highlanders but they will go in into the finals. The bonus point system needs changing we finish 8th. Fucking 8th. How does a team in sort win more games then 3 other teams and end up behind them?

Bloody gutted right now I didn't think I would care if we lost and didn't make it but man it hurts to be in with a shot and miss out.

Well done brumbies you were to good on the night and everything went your way but I guess you create your own luck and the force didn't create enough of it tonight.

To the force boys thanks for a massive year you have restored my faith in the team and I am happy to be part of the sea of blue.

Also massive congrats must go to Michael 'Axel' Foley. You had many detractors at the start of the year including myself but you have proven that you are a worth coach anyone who says otherwise is kidding them selfs

If you have a chance head over to the Western Force 2015 thread to read my fearless prediction I promise you won't be disappointed.

You wouldn't have said that if bonus points got you into the top six.

in my eyes the force finished 4th or 5th this year. thats what we deserve, thats how many games we won. take bonus points out of the game or change the way you get them because the bonus point system supports the NZ conference more then any other.

Well done to the Force to a very good year and congrats to all their fans (except for Shiggins) for hanging in there. The closest S15 season by far.

Hodgson's great play rewarded with being back in the Aussie squad. Alby and Eber have created a really good combo. McCalman continued on his good 2013 EOYT form into this season. DHP one of the big improves in the comp. will be interesting to see what player movements there are and who the Force can pick up for 2015. Could probably do with a good midfield option to draw a bit more attention.

The bonus point this is funny i once explained it to the boys at my work who are all afl fans and they just laughed at me.

All they could say was Htf can you get points for losing.

I guess it's a funny system but we all new the rules at the start of the year and we all played under the same rules.
