What a bizarre end to a bizarre game. I'm really not sure what to make of our season so far.

On the one hand our new additions in Ginni, Watson, Chol are providing excitement ànd Worps is having another very solid year.

On the other hand our established stars in Lewis, Bruest, Newk, etc are way down.

I feel like the collective is less than the sum of the parts at the moment.

Sitting in the media box watching the game today.
Things that have stood out so far to the third quarter time break:
  • Sicily playing as a last line of defence doesn't work - Geelong were always going to be playing a tall forward line - we took the risk but Henry has pantsed him today.
  • Amon at half back can not defend - missed easy tackles, his opponent in the first quarter was Brad Close who was involved in lots of things.
  • Sam Frost plays with a *load of heart and determination - Hawkins has kicked a few but Frost has battled manfully in defence.
  • Lloyd Meek has given us something in the ruck that we haven't had for a while - he competes and competes. Has battled against 3 opponents from the Cats in the ruck at different times
  • Nash and Worpel have both had a red hot crack - tackles and clearances - in the second quarter Nash was using his body to create space for the likes of Frenchie and Worpel to get the ball going forward.
  • Breust missing that sitter in the first quarter deflated the team massively and Geelong kick 3 easy ones to blow the score out to 36.
  • Chol has looked our most likely key forward today but also all season - Lewis nowhere near it at the moment which is sad to see.
  • Massimo D'Ambrosio can hold his head up - at times he has thrown his body into contests that others have shirked at
  • Wiz's defensive pressure has been a highlight for him - stopped a certain Cameron goal in the second quarter and just continues to harrass.
  • Newcombe has regressed, but as we know with progression, it is not always linear.
  • Frenchie has had some good moments today - he's coming along well.
