It’s a pretty good effort against the current undefeated team, with 16 on the injury list, dodgy umpiring, some near misses and sloppy play. Geelong had an even spread of experienced, first choice contributors, we were relying too much on our stars. Plenty going against us, and we dominated pretty much every statistical indicator, and nearly overran them. They were good enough and had enough of their best 22 to keep their noses in front.

A super effort by our boys. If ever one could be optimistic after a loss, it would be this game.

During the TV commentary, Dunstall repeatedly spoke about the anti Carlton umping decisions. At one point he said Carlton are playing against 2 teams.

I'm not suggesting that excuses our many shortcomings but it does validate what some folk saw.
What stood out for me was Cripps jumper being pulled at most stoppages, he got a few and they missed a few more.

We won't be seeing these three Umps again anytime soon. They were appalling.

Drop the axe Vossy - too many players are getting a free ride.

And bring in who? The injury list doesn't allow this, although I would be tempted to just axe a couple to send a message.
Sorely missing the run of Saad and McGovern down back.
We are too predictable going forward and inefficient when it gets there.
The stats say it all.
Bring on the Pies.

That was ours to lose - and we did 🙄

Think we panicked early and then couldn’t make up ground.

Umpiring was putrid and whoever said when the calls are made the Cats just get on with it whereas we didn’t, not what I saw.  In fact a few that should’ve been called for dissent thst just sail thru like a lot of the run Geelong got today. We got zero reward for our efforts and they were able to kick out of bounds with no penalty, hold the ball long after being tackled and/or dropping it without penalty too. 

That being said, we were a good chance to snatch it until some strange 50m penalty to give them more breathing space 🙄

Need more pressure in our forward line, they were MIA badly.
