Quite a few of our goals were kicked on the non-preferred. TDK, Cottrell, Charlie... this skill is definitely improving

Geelong has had just about a full list to choose from this year. Last year they had injuries and missed the finals. Their forward line is very good.  A lot of variety plus some guns. The backline is tough and disciplined but I think we can get hold of them. Their midfield shuts down their opponents. If they break even then they usually win. Carlton has become a side that should win these sorts of games.

Id persist with Lemmey at CHB in the VFL.....and Id be looking to give Moir a senior game or two sooner than later as the sub initially. Lemmeys blonde mate down back in Lewis also played an ok game and looks a solid player.
Not sure Id be keeping Mirkov or OKeefe.....

Curnow made the call himself. I saw him running through the center and signalling to the bench that he was going into the backline. Free rein to do it himself or a planed move. Either way it worked.

Geelong find a way to control the game and playing it on their terms when it is most needed. I hope our injuries aren’t the difference in this contest. Would be great if we could snatch a win. Geelong are the benchmark at the moment. If we had Cerra, Saad and Gov in I would have some confidence. Without them it doesn’t look likely that we will win this one.

Me too, credit where credit's due. He really needs to keep working on taking account of his opponent. This aspect was poor early in the game.

Don't be under any misapprehensions here, we were horrible in the first half. They applied some serious pressure and we once again fumbled & bumbled. Kicking for goal was atrocious as was the delivery into the forward line, same issues that cost us the game against the Crows.

The fact that Voss had to send Curnow deep into defence late in the second to try and stem the bleeding was a tell-tale sign of howbad we really were.

After half-time, we started to apply the pressure and bit by bit we edged our way back into the contest and as our confidence grew, we started to run all over them.

It was a very good win and one we just had to register after last week's letdown.

Lots of good players for the second half, way too many passengers, frauds & flat-footed onlookers in the first.

Somehow, our guys have to find that ferocious gear from the first bounce instead of halfway through the match.

Must acknowledge that sensational feat of pure athleticism from the Giants defender Aleer who spoilt McKay in a marking contest after an incredible leap that came from nowhere.

Bring on next week please.     

That 2nd qtr was frustrating. We were getting the same number of shots but they kicked goals while we missed easy shots. They did get their's much easier than they should of though. Half way through the 3rd qtr everything changed. Like falling 20pts behind woke  them up. The pressure rating the 2nd half of that 3rd qtr went from 150s during the 2nd qtr to 242, which is brutal.

What play do you think typified our game today?

TDK front and centre crumb. Snapping truly on his right 🤫

Reckon Cincotta can take his place and do the job, I dont see ZW as vital to our team winning.
