Sigh..... ???

Well done big H. Some nice marks and after a couple of practice shots, your first goal in AFL.

The end, and I hate sad endings :'(

Could someone just tackle Mathieson's head as hard as possible and knock him out.
If he's going to milk frees anyway at least make him earn it.

He's a Geelong Falcons player - as one of the commentators called it, the Geelong genuflection.

Our defensive setup has been dismantled by Brisbane kicking goals from 50+, our game plan dead and it's a big lesson learned! We don't have players fast enough to keep up or setup anyway!

Unfortunately for us, we don't have players who are capable or willing to kick from 50+!

Our setup is failing because we have too many inexperienced kids playing.
They are still learning the setups and where to go....and when.

Already pointed out Harry looks lost on defensive structures and setups, he's not alone (but being 2m+ tall he does stand out).

While watching a game on a phone is hard going, the defensive style we play is showing its limitations. The last few weeks have shown we can organise when we don't have the ball. But when we gain possession we struggle other than switching. Players seem to look frozen.

Imagine this will change into 2018, but its tough to watch.  Collectively we are clueless.

Might be close to the end for Simpson. His pace has dropped the past month. Hope not. Desperate for more run off half back

Is Gibbs hurt or just having another of his CBF days?
 
No Cripps, no Carlton.  We all know who the real captain is.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

So maybe we're building our case for a compo pick. The bottom side thrashes us year after year, and gets themselves a compo pick :o go figure.

Captains who dont get stuck in throw an elbow and hurt the opposition in situations like this and show grunt is not a captain. You need to show this is not acceptable and we dont have anyone capable of doing that. Maybe Kreuzer is close.

Can't believe we were that bad in the first half, call me over hopefull, but we can earn a little respect back. Murphy on the bench injury?
