I can tell my dog to rollover and he does it. Maybe he learnt it from this lot of dogs watching the GF and last nights 3rd quarters unlike my dog this lot will not get a tummy pat.

I truly believe we need a midfield coach who after 2-3 centre bounce losses needs to run the message that all our centre bounce mids just need to tag for 1-3 stoppages. Just to make sure we at very worst force a repeat stoppage and take the heat away from our defence.
Too often you see opposition marching the ball out the front of the centre bounce causing maximum pressure. And once they get a roll in there is basically nothing we can do to stop it until the qtr is over.

Agree hoping you include the Ruck in the centre bounce mids?
After every goal the ball goes back to the middle so that’s not new you know that will happen so get your ruck to win a tap that has purpose and direction whether it be start another stoppage or down the throat of a midfielder not what we have now
yeah, i think the no tag or team tag policy needs to change
yeah, he lifted against Melbourne after another ordinary start, but this week confirms there's something not right,
give him a spell/ surgery what ever he needs to get right for next year
i feel West has surpassed Libba as our more ferocious, determined and toughest small/mid. His tackles are bone crunching and has great agility.
It was a no brainer to put him in the square when they got their run on. Bevo just freezes when this happens and cannot think straigh.

Starting to think Baz forced layoff is still playing on his mind. Never looks truly up and about in his body language even after the Dees win when Bevo gave him a pat on the back. Rarely gets his own hard ball in a pack situation preferring to be an outrider. Libba busting his ass in that 2 on 1 in the 3rd while Baz ran alongside and not to getting involved was ordinary.

Gardener looked like Chris Grant compared to Hannan and McComb.
He still had brain fades, but even I, one of his harshest critics, think he played ok.
Really concerned about Smith - couldn't hit a barn door. I have a sick feeling he's leaving and will star elsewhere.
Naughton owned by DeKoning again - I don't want him to play down back, but when he's copping that much of a bath and our defence is getting smashed, surely he is the perfect swingman
Garcia & West are the grunt we need. They show some fight
Richards is a jet
Dunkley and Weightman kept trying
English's softness is a real worry. He is a mid in a ruck body. I actually think he gets in the way of the actual mids, he should be winning the tap and locking it in, but his taps are ineffective, then he's the one trying to get it out like a big giraffe getting in the way of Macrae, Bont etc.
Did I mention that I ****ing hate Geelong
Bevo does have 1 strategy when the oppo get a run on, he tries to send one back and break the 6/6/6 rule, and we get a warning from the umpire.

We'll learn from this loss...and do the same ****ing thing in a couple of weeksTotally agree, force each and every one to watch both quarters Clockwork Orange style.
Once again, we were embarrassed, more than that, we were humiliated, bullied, smashed, beaten up, walked over. Geelong did as they pleased in the third and we just bent over and took it up the wazoo yet again. Weak, weak and weak. Weak on field and weak in the coaches box.
We shouldn't be thinking at 26-0 up that we're going to get beaten here. We should be confident about winning and winning well. But such is the mental and physical weakness of our side, we just know what's going to inevitably happen.
Until we start getting serious about selection and stop selecting 3-4 players who are no more than VFL standard at best, we'll go nowhere. Until we have leaders who stand up in quarters like the third and the GF and fight back, we'll go nowhere. Until we play a team that has a proper physical presence across the whole ground, we'll go nowhere. Until we have a senior coach with a Plan B, C, D, E and who demands results, we'll go nowhere.
I'm as angry as I was about the GF tonight. That was pissweak that third quarter. I can't believe how easily we just laid down. Each and every player and coach should be humiliated and embarrassed, but will they be? Doubt it. Instead we'll get the usual Beveridge platitudes and 'We have to get better' stubborn type guff and excuses.
Seriously, I want our club and our team to have a backbone. To show fight, to show heart and never give up, tonight we gave up. Like I said, weak on and off the field.
Every suburban club I’ve ever been at has a rule lose two centre bounces in a row you lock down.
We continually roll the dice whether that’s through arrogance I don’t know but our midfield is definitely not what we, the club and footy media make it out to be
Is Bruce being back in disrupting Naughton.
We targeted him once inside forward 50 last night.
We are certainly targetting JUH more (which is fair enough because he's looking more likely), but I just don't think we went through Aaron much last night, certainly nowhere near the extent we have in the past.

I can't figure out if it's arrogance or stupidity. Leaning towards stupidity.
it was probably a plan to go through others more last night, it worked for a quarter

Gotta be zero chance our midfield coach is there again next year. Get Joel Corey back ffs.
What replace our highly decorated midfield coach. Marcus. Webb

Both Gardner and Cordy were good. Any hate coming their way is from those trying to confirm their own preconceptions.
Our midfield and half backs (minus Ed) own that loss. No fight.

So when it started going bad, and he wasn't getting a kick, he should have been swung to defence. No flexibility displayed by Bevo. Disappointing, but we'll learn from it

Summary of Bevo's Pressor
Cats came with a powerplay in 3rd quarter and we couldnt match it. This has happened a few times to us recently. When it does its because it becomes a test of strength, power, and endurance, and we are a little lacking in that area. Said it was largely due to powerful mids taking over, in this case Danger, said he hadnt done that in a while so we were a bit stiff he pulled that out on us, but said you just have to dip your hat. When we got it back we turned it over.
Reading between the lines he's suggesting that our bad fades are the result of the Cripps, Petracca, Danger types getting hold of us in the centre square, and apart from Bont we dont have a player/s to go with them athletically
Said the key backs were good but the defence as a whole not so good (hopefully he means Hannan)
Said they'd assess where Bruce is at during the week
Said JUH was very good
Treloar maybe miss one more but is close

Richards a smokey for the BnF? He will def finish top 5. Chris Scott presser was interesting he clearly rates us but what was more telling was he discussion on close, miers and stengle. The running power they have to get back to help the D out then stream forward and be dangerous. We dont have that in our team as weightman is more a stay at home small forward. Garcia and west can maybe do that for us but? Overall the first half was very good but we couldnt turn the tide. Dont think its as doom and gloom as others think it was Selwoods 350th at the Cattery = recipe for disaster
Dangerfield has been putrid this season. What an embarrassing comment. We couldn’t go with a trio of Selwood, Danger and Guthrie.
Danger was amazing because he was ruthless and worked his backside off. We didn’t.
What a joke and a shit excuse.
