With our 5hit goalkicking, 5hit kicking going forward, where does that leaves Geelong. On face value (we know if they were goals the games changes but we'll run with it), if we kicked poorly for 6.10 instead of 2.14 at 3/4 time we'd be in front. No wonder a number of their fans said they were happy to just take the 4pts and move on.

During the week they compared Geelong's scoring without Cameron in the first few rounds to with Cameron and they went form 12th in the comp to 1st.

I think with Cameron back and Blicavs free to ruck and roam around the ground they will be very dangerous. Just so cocky resting players were Geelong and I really want to see them bounced out of the finals early but I don't think it will happen. Henderson and Touhy with premierships would be depressing also..

It was obvious pre-game that we'd be too short, too weak, and undermanned in the ruck and defense. Unfortunately the late outs left us vulnerable. Under those circumstances our performance, particularly effort, focus, and persistence, was strong.

What I can't fathom though is why your captain with a leg injury would cover the ruck. Nothing structural they said, but he's previously broken his leg while he was still growing. Common sense tells you the jumping with giants game isn't your gig.

The tomahawk must be starting to dread lining up against young Weiters. Imagine what Weiters will be like when he hits his prime!

That's all good and lovely, but we lost Jones and Levi (the latter was a none event for 3.5 qtrs the previous week).

Atrocious kicking aside, we were never in the game after Q1.

Another big fail for mine. Plenty of blokes just didn't chip in, as should be the minimum. Williams, Martin, Setters.....

I won't be bagging Murph again (and hope he gets his 300).

Teague too -  showing nothing to suggest he's a long term proposition imo.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

When the whips are cracking in finals/big games, Cameron and Dangerfield go to water nothing surer.

Fun Fact: I was updating my predictor spreadsheet (as you do) and upon calculating our averaging losing margin for 2021, I calculated it to be, you guessed it, exactly 24 points.

Top work right there.
Out of curiosity, what's our average winning margin? Small sample I know!

In the past thats true but I think they are due and might get a return out of the Smith, Cameron, Higgins recruitment and make the GF this season.

I was wondering if I ever saw us kick worse at goal then remembered I was at the game against Hawthorn in 1980 when we kicked 14 points straight in the last qtr against Hawthorn to lose it. To add insult to injury, then Dominator kicked an impossible goal on his wrong foot after the siren, which saw as lose by 2pts.

Remember one in the early 90's at Whitten Oval when Mark Arceri kicked our only goal late in the last quarter
 May have finished 1 10

What about the 1.10 with Mark Arceri kicking our only goal for the game in the last quarter?

EDIT: Bricky beat me too it.

Think Arceri's was a free that was dubious too....
