Yep. The end.

I'm hoarse from my all too frequent umpiring advice 😮‍💨

6 days on, we're up against the other best in the business.

Rest, recover, review, reset.
Go Blues
I find yelling at the screen or at the umps when at the ground about as futile as the players arguing the point with them. Yeah there were some bad ones missed, but there were plenty they didn't get either. When you watched them just get on with it and we were carrying on about them, they made us pay every time. They are such a professional outfit, at the moment they just dont lose focus. I've just always been a bit meh about umpiring, had we not have butchered the ball, we could have easily won. Make no mistake, we did a lot right, we also did too much wrong (mainly skill errors under their pressure).
C'est la vie.

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

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.

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.

^in saying that some strange crap kicking by even Kennedy, was perplexing. Can’t imagine they were exhausted from last week so not sure what happened.

And Tuohy can piss right off.

Im very worried about the pies pace next week. They also love to run in waves and i hope voss can devise a gameplan to make it difficult for them. While the cats are faster on the outside we had no plan and no structure at all to slow them down. If we cant counter it next week will be a similar result.

Sorry forgot the umpiring. Some  Mind boggling decisions. 
We won't be seeing these three Umps again anytime soon. They were appalling.
Live Long and Prosper!

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.

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.

Charlie is interesting at the moment. I can see that he is trying to keep his feet and impact the secondary contest when it hits the deck. TBH today I would have liked to seen him run and jump at/on a few packs. He was a little 1 dimensional I thought.
As for TDK telling the world  about "iso" in the media recently, not very clever.

There is no-one left.

Exactly, only Cincotta left in the in the twos with some size and ability. Binns looked like an Auskicker next to the Geel brutes. He needs to come and eat at Chateaux G2C, Ill get some weight on him.
