I want what I want, and make the numbers work would have been the guidance.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong
Im a little concerned with Ollie Hollands lack of development. Not sure whether he is star struck and head got too big but been underwhelming. Ginbey, McVee, Wilmot and many others are hitting some PBs but Ollie has stagnated and even gone backwards.Second year blues or potentially just shouldering a much bigger load than last year.
Needs to regain touch and confidence.
Maybe we should change his number back....
Personally, i think these things are just a function of opposition knowing more about him and matching up accordingly.

Geelong never really looked likely to lose on Saturday, but you cant say we were ever out of the game and we lost it more than they won it IMHO.
Im just spewing this one is overlapping Good Friday for the Orthodox Christians. Expect a lower crowd as a consequence (or they can be heathens like me and skip the good friday service).

They rebound, we see a half back leave his man to pressure the ball carrier. Separation about 40 metres, so in effect the "presssure" is non existant and then its a short kixck to a team mate whos now free.
This hekps teams go coast to coast a lot against us, and i think that players need to pick their moments better on when to stay on their man or leave to pressure the ball carrier.
A long kick to a contest or making them run it, is more desirable. Leave your man later when you can get back or theyve run into trouble.

How much more space would we find with some better instruction. On field leaders are important.

Its like blaming the 50 against harry for losing which gave geelong a free goal. Thats not why you lose when you kick so poorly early. Put the scoreboard pressure on and see the difference.

Be that as it may, that was a very vital time. Could have changed everything.nah im not copping a small forward wearing all the heat when we went to charlie curnow 16 times.
Particularly when the leaders let us down.

That miss by that idiot Durdin really killed our momentum.
About 10 players guilty. Weitering mckay x3, de koning x2

We are drifting out in the betting - I wonder if someone knows something......the betting odds are an indication only of what the public think. More people are backing in Geelong but that doesn't mean much. They've been a dominant side of the comp for along time and many pundits arent convinces about us.

I can honestly say his few touches were dangerous. Martin is similar.
3 score involvements, 2 inside 50's,1 goal assist and at least one pressure act in front of me that lead to a goal to us with a turnover. For a total of 17 pressure acts is pretty impressive from a guy who had 72% time on ground, which is in our bottom 4 players.
He is a worker. Give him time.
