Enjoy the game, those who are lucky enough to be there.
Personally, I hope we never play at Geelong again. This whole thing has been an insult that I could do without.
I dont want a repeat of last week, that is all.
Alot of navy blue in the crowd.
Competitive and Ablett has a shocker would be great
Just a stupid handball to a player in trouble!!!!
Already 2 mind-numbing, brain dead handballs.....
Some poor decision making costs us a goal.
How friggin’ dumb are these blokes.....seriously.....
How many feelgood gifts are we gonna hand to them?
OMG if I have to listen to that muppet Mooney all night....
100 point loss coming up
100 point loss coming up
Beat me to it.....
Have to really find something to get into this not even looking at a forward entry
Still breaking records. Goals to all the poster boys :-\
Can't understand why. jones started on the bench? Been our best defender the last 12 months and on the bench?
We look flat as a tack...no spark at all!
5 mins in & I don’t know how much more I can watch of this......
4 goals and we haven't been over the half forward line,,,,might a long one
Goals to Charlie & Mackay settles us a bit
Free kicks will only keep us in it for so long, but they are panicking with our tall forward line....
Getting a great run from the umps at the moment...
Free kicks will only keep us in it for so long, but they are panicking with our tall forward line....
They are missing the cool head of Harry Taylor.
Certainly a change in momentum, we have settled a bit
Look at Ablett squealing like a pig.....
We've controlled the last 6-7 min. Need to take advantage of that though.
Cuningham......spud
Phuk Cunningham. Stuffed a chance for 2 shots at goal in a minute.
WTF Harry......WTF....
O'shea was too scared to take possession.
Jones doing really well
Jones started on the bench for being far too loose against Melbourne last week.
Spot on Nick Riewoldt......McKay needs to learn how to use his size....
I’ll take that 11 point deficit after that first 10 mins.....
Spot on Nick Riewoldt......McKay needs to learn how to use his size....
As Dunstall said, he still needs to fill out.
If we had any idea when going forward we could've been in front. We controlled much of the 2nd half of that qtr.
Cunningham's bad pass to Charlie on 50 then dropping an easy mark inside 50 was very costly. That kick to Charlie came after a some lovely run through the corridor, then ruined.
As Dunstall said, he still needs to fill out.
Yep, kid has played how many games?
As Dunstall said, he still needs to fill out.
It was kicked poorly, certainly not to his advantage.
I'm going to send a runner/carrier pidgeon/smoke signal to all our lads - FORGET ZONE DEFENCE. STAND WITHIN 2 METRES OF AN OPPOSING PLAYER WHEN DEFENDING. IF THE BALL COMES NEAR THEM TACKLE - HARD!!!!
Why do we persist with setting up a zone every week just watch the opposition waltz through it with no pressure?

H
Yep simple stand your man
Our boys settled after cats dream start.
Go Blues exploit their defensive gap.
H
Yep simple stand your man
Just like Tammy Wynette once said, stand by your man..... then bury him if gets hold of the ball
Like Dow has a knack of breaking away has a shot a goal but needs to convert , does this often hope the coaches take notice
That looked awful for young Ratogulea.
Broken leg?

We have no idea with the zone yet. Why can't we just play man on man, bolt forward and spread when we have it, get back when we don't. That we can understand.
Ratagalea may have #tibia
Never good to see a serious injury hope he is ok
FMD Jones, punching idiot!
Our F50 entries and decision making entering F50 are dead-set rubbish, just bomb it long and hope like hell!
We've done everything but kick goals and lead.
If we had some polish and a crumber or 2 up forward we'd be in front easily. EDDIE COME BACK !
Menagola dirty deed on Rowe MUST be looked at
Menagola dirty deed on Rowe MUST be looked at
Can't believe no umpire saw anything?
Menagola dirty deed on Rowe MUST be looked at
Nah, it was against a Carlton player so it's ok. If anything free kick to menegola for staging by Rowe.
It's Geelong!
Good to see some mongrel from Charlie
If we could just find an avenue to goal
Yes Ablett that is kicking in danger :P
Good to see some mongrel from Charlie
H Samo and Dow all giving sh%$ to Ablett :))
In such a game as this that start by Geelong hurt.
Kerridge into the rooms :-\
Bullcrap blokes taking pot shots from outside F50, find a fecking target!
Putting together some good forward eateries, but still no goals

The way the ball goes inside 50 there is no target unfortunately.
This is where we miss Levi to plucked a big contested mark or two from the forward line mess.
No goal quarter, but on the bright side they only kicked 1 and we're sort of still in it.
The real positive was that we at least we showed some fight.

Does it count that the 6 points we kicked equals a goal...lol.

They're not good forward entries then.
I don't care who says this version of the game is best I just want to see a game where we kick some flaming GOALS
Does it count that the 6 points we kicked equals a goal...lol.
It might have to do
If someone said we could lose by just 14 this week I'd have laughed. This will do as long as we keep fighting.
No forwards again, it's impossible to win games if you can't score.
That first 10 min has hurt us bad.
No forwards again, it's impossible to win games if you can't score.
In defence of our forwards, like every week, you'd get better delivery from Pizza Hut
No forwards again, it's impossible to win games if you can't score.
We don't get the ball in anywhere near well enough or quick enough to score. It's just congestion. Levi would be handy tonight as he can plucks marks in that mess of a forward line.
I see Geelong have put a lot of thought into their visitors rooms ???
Hopefully our skinnier bodies can hold up ok in this type of game.
If we can hold them and don't give away frees that turn into goals, and just maybe grab an early goal, this could be interesting
Hopefully our skinnier bodies can hold up ok in this type of game.
Our third quarter fade outs are pretty standard.
Opening 5 minutes aside, or perhaps in spite of it, our boys have shown g and d. Shame we lack the p (polish ^-^)
Samo is continuing to develop. Love his fwd pressure.
If we can get the first goal (Not 6 points that is) and keep this pressure up, I'll be a satisfied bagger.
Go Blues.
Gee SPS you need to take those opportunities , did the hard work
Actually, getting shots at goal ok, just keep missing.
Kerr!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the afl with one great goal.
(Thank god your parents didn't name you Wayne :) )
First goal for Kerr from the boundary awesome
Baby Blues come on down
Paddy gets his first for the Blues.
Might be something burning in West Sydney. Spotless is covered in smoke.
BTW Buckley kicked the Giants first.
Anyway, back to our game.
We are going through rue the easy misses , would have made a lot of difference
Any chance Simpson can pass the ball to his team mate's advantage?
Plowman has been impressive this qtr
Plowman has been impressive this qtr
I've been a critic all year, but yes respect where due.
Plowman's intercepts been important tonight..and then yet another ordinary handball in next passage.
Is there a stay for "handballs that put team mates under pressure?" We'd be no.1!
3 farken 9?
That was not a mark for Parfitt. Disgraceful umpiring
please Santa for an early Xmas pressie bring me a forward structure
Has Cunningham gone home?
Got a few mates that have gone with him LP..
We have a total inability to run and carry. It's like we learn our footy from the old black and white games from years ago.
Umpiring killing us this qtr.
Our skills are killing us, not the Umps.....
Phuk me, do our blokes have backs?????
Kids don't get free kicks of AFL umpires not matter how blatant the infringement!
3 goals 11 ...double faarck!
We couldn't buy a goal if they were on sale at Aldi
Has Cunningham gone home?
Apparently not.
But still needs to do more
Plowman has been impressive this qtr
Very solid tonight
Umpiring killing us this qtr.
Ablett sooking to the umps now.
I don't think i've ever seen a more congested game where it was so difficult to score.
If only we knew how to run and carry when we have it in space. We'd score so much easier.
Has there ever been a more sooking head then ablett.
Ablett sooking to the umps now.
Since his goal in q1, he hasn't stopped sooking it up to the umps
Dow has a decent last quarter should get a nomination this week.
Been very good

Samo's had a crack. Just not the finish.
Go baby blues
Dow has a decent last quarter should get a nomination this week.
Been very good
Agreed
Cripps 10 contested possessions in the 3rd quarter.
That first 10 min of the game is really hurting us. Geelong has only kicked 3 goals since the 10 min mark of the first qtr.
Getting absolutely nothing from the umps
Hard work watching a game on the phone. Eyes are going crazy..lol.
Getting absolutely nothing from the umps
Not true, getting screwed
Determination is there , polish missing
Holding the ball not paid to us then ping Cripps 3 seconds later.
The stuff-ups at goal can make a grown man cry...lol.
Is there hope?
Mr reliable goals
Lucky goal to Wright, 9 pt goal
Wright goals when trying to pass lol.
A little bit of luck would be so good right now
Need the next one
We tackle, but our tackles don't really hurt.
They are tackles without intent, strength or aggression.
Darcy by name, Darcy by nature.
Any of these rushed behind be deliberate by any chance?

Well if the umps paid holding the ball they would hurt.
Queue madam butterfly, the fat lady is ready to sing
Does Lang know he plays for us now?
Well if the umps paid holding the ball they would hurt.
Amen
Well if the umps paid holding the ball they would hurt.
The umps do pay holding the ball, it's just usually against us
I watch many games of footy every week, I dont not see defenders grab jumpers as often as ours do. Dead set stupidity.
Our coaching has again lacked a little tonight, when the game was there to be won we were still chipping the ball around instead of taking the game on to win!
We've hardly got the ball past the centre of the ground when it was there to be won!
......almost!
Our club should invest in 22 electric collars.
We need to give Cripps a rest next week.
Content with the effort this week even if we lost a game we could have won. The score doesn't reflect the contest.
Frankly, both teams should complain about the umpiring.
Switch it over to the Post Game thread folks

We'll close this one in a few minutes.
Our one man midfield played very well.
I don't understand our MC, I get that you have to persist playing the kids in the same positions to get them experience. But our older blokes should be shuffled around to do something other than the same thing each week and expecting a different result.
I don't get our guys punching the ball in defence in uncontested marking attempts, we must be deaf and dumb.
I don't get blokes like Wright and Cripps having pot shots at goal from 60m when we have players goal side inside F50.
I don't get how we can go big, then play a game plan that leaves no space to lead at the football! Is our only game plan for blokes like Charlie, McKay and Kerr to jump from behind or to get cheap goals out the back!
I don't get how blokes like Selwood can repeatedly spoil players like Kreuzer or Cripps in marking contests!
Dissappointing end, couldn't maintain the pressure ,
