Geelong hold excessively long after losing a marking contest.

Most tone deaf thing this thread.

Pressure relief valve activated.

OMG

Gone backwards in recent times? Look at the win-loss in the 1st 3 years of a ground up rebuild and compare the win-loss over the last 2 years. Seems like "in recent times" the club has improved. Don't know how much engrained DNA there is left after staff and players were let go.... I'll give...

The ole' Leigh Matthews "Goal a minute" defeated the "1st to 100 wins".

And when RT and DF were held when the ball came into our fwd line, 1 particularly blatant in the 4th against DF not paid, it is hard to score. Compared to the willingness to pay frees im Dons F50...

They will give him 5 for "potential to cause injury"

1 arm free and players own momentum thrust him forward. Hopefully that saves him. But its a lottery.

Good: Our 2nd and 4th quarter. Never giving up, even after Dawson went to the rooms. Keyes best performance. Fog kicking 4 and Thilthorpe a whole game. Bad: 2 injuries to key backs. Ugly: Never paying Fog and Thilthorpe a free after being held relentlessly.

I saw it different. We would do something defensive well, like a tackle and no HTB. Or worse a free kick against. Sometimes we had the ball and a stupid free against cleared the ball out of our fwd 50. And stats wise those freess against are a +8 c.p. for them.

A 2 - 10 free kick count is unsustainable. That was really the only advantage they had, even counting our slow and timid start.

At the ground, despite a slow awkward start, it appeared to me that we were playing slightly better footy than the Saints in the 1st quarter. It was only the 2 to 10 free kick count keeping them in it. The umpires know they can't end a game 8 to 40 free kicks I felt that when the complete...

You are a freaking Nostradamus. Good call.

You are a miserable sad sack, aren't you.

No-one ever beats the media narrative. The Dogs won on the back of the media narrative of "play on at all cists, knock the ball forward ". When every AFL watcher could see they were dropping the ball and should have been called for incorrect disposal all season. The next year the narrative...

You are not blaming developing players vs what the media rate as the best midfied in the AFL? No wonder we can't develop kids. Fans have unrealistic expectations of where they should be compared to the opposition they face....

No, but the patch of bad umpiring that cost 3 goals killed all our momentum and we are not a developed enough team to move beyond that. If we play a decent 1st half and lose every single game, at this point I don't care. As long as Reid has no say in our draft picks. I am of the opinion that...

.... In addition, I forgot to post... we gave up 3 goals in the 5 mins Nankervis was off the ground when we lost momentum. He is going to be important for us going forward.

I think we have had 1 free kick paid inside our forward 50 for the whole year with our opposition getting multiple. We are being punished for pur complaining last year.

Nah, we were smashed in the middle because Sydney has an awesome midfield. The patch where Papley ducked for a free --> goal.. To Hinge's brain snap after a dodgy free... That killed us. Everything after that point is moot. The only error was Keane on Amarty but Amarty got the armchair...

You chuckle-heads can rant and rave all you want. The patch where we lost was the Papley sliding duck that resulted in a free.... then the bs free which caused Hinge to snap and the resulting goal is where we lost it. After those moments nothing that happened was work a squeak of piss to...

Nope... Nicks can turn around and say "See the kids aren't up to it"

Crouch out exposed exactly how much we rely on his contest.

10 players under 50 games. 2 players still in the 50s..... We are acting like the coach is the main issue. Clarko and Simpson not doing that great .... Not saying mistakes haven't been made, but this take is massively over played on here. We are the 5th year into a rebuild from the ground up...

He was the least of our problems. As a high draft pick... not good..... Losing the game...yeah nah. ROB.

We will see if results like this build character. We will ALWAYS have to beat the team +umpired at any game at the MCG. With a little class under pressure, we can. We are not miles off. But we will need to not let teams get a jump on us. Starting Crouch on the field and exploring other ruck...

Ugly: Made up umpiring decisions. Spoils the whole thing. Collingwood are a classier outfit and if we lose because of pur own deficiencies we are forced to confront them.
