Actually, win today would have put us on the tip end of the 8. We don't have alot left to bring in. Probably Fisher, Honey and a couple of kids.

I reckon Cottrel would have been a better choice than Setterfield, at least he would have bashed and crashed more which what you need vs Geel.

shocking coaching.

Teague confirmed to me he's not up to it....

Did you miss the soft, insipid repeated turnover coming out of the back line all night?

And others all over the ground really.

That's nothing to do with losing a few players.

Our guys are mentally very weak.

Picking blokes like Setters doesn't help - hope that bloke donates his pay check to a charity this week.

Setterfield is not up to it and should be delisted and stuffed if I know why he keeps getting games.

However I’m more annoyed in Martin and Williams.

I’m sick of hearing the excuses for these overpaid cheats. We would have got a few more wins this year if those 2 blokes in particular played somewhere close to the standard they are being paid for.

Add McGovern to that list and we have not got any return on those big money recruits. Paid for mangos, received 3 lemons.

We will drop a game to either Collingwood or North because we're on that level.

Reading the Geelong Board. They are just happy to take the points and move on after that one.

Fair enough, for them. Maybe they realize they couldn't put away a team with half its list unavailable.
We did so much right, only to turn it over and give it to them on a platter.

Not enough players really put in, but we had some absolute winners on the day: Weitering slaughtered Hawkins; Walsh had leather poisoning; Saad did a great job ... But our disposal killed us.

I didn't expect to win when we lost Casboult and Jones. That hurt us a lot and robbed us so much flexibility. But we were also out-coached: far too often Geelong had an extra in defence and it ended up being either Tuohey or Henderson. Talk about rubbing salt into the wounds.

That’s exactly as I saw the game
I’d also throw Plowman in with the ta ta group

The truth is that all of Setterfield, Curnow, Martin, Plowman, Newnes are barely AFL standard, whilst Kennedy, Newman are too often average. Fogarty ison the cusp. Martin hot and cold

Way too many passengers

I'm prepared to give Martin a chance as he has shown his skill and talent in the past. The sooner we find out if the likes of Kemp, Ramsey, Honey, Philp are any good, they sooner we can move the others on. What we learnt today was the diabolical decision to delist KPD cover (and not replace them) in Macreadie, Goodard and to an extent B Silvagni for the day like today  where we lost Jones, Weitering or heaven forbid both. Plowman gave away 20kg and god knows how many cms to Ratta Tat Tat so he was on a hiding to nothing. I would have delisted Marchbank and kept someone like Goodard personally. We got OMac as cover but he his injured.

Fully agree and I'll keep saying it but we knew mid season draft we had most of those injuries and were only tempting fate with either Jones or Weitering getting injured and should have recruited a taller KP type who could play both ends instead of Boyd.
Plowman got lucky that Esava is a spud and couldnt take a mark to save himself but we wont get that lucky every week and the
list management team have to wear this and not the poor coach who has to make do with what he has left.
The list management team knew the only replacement KP player McDonald was injured but did nothing about....you never know but that one taller play may have made all the difference today.
