Yea gotta be said. Yes they are inexperienced but they've been down (and getting the picks that come with that) for a long time and just not hard enough to play against.

And who was to know Adelaide and the Dogs would be so disappointing? I'd think most who did a pre season tip didn't take Geelong in those games. St Kilda also beat us last year.

Clarko should be under the pump, North looked harder to play against when Ratten was coaching them last year.
Yea I like Curtis possibly more than anyone else at North but he's missed a couple he should have got and had a couple of other disappointing moments. Still, he's one of few people in the side you want kept out of the play.

People bag Essendon for not running the other way but Norh are deadset allergic to tracking back.
One kick over the back in transition and Geelong forward 50 is vacant except for Cameron.

It's not that, it's more other teams not living up to expectations.

1st half assessment
Positives
Positives
- Biggy has done some good things down back in just his 2nd game.
- Sheezel’s bullets into forward 50
- Stephen’s showing a lot more that his 4 first games.
- Comden down back and playing there over the Summer has been a good move. He looks at home down there.
- First goal for Drury at this level.
- Tom Powell looking better and better each week.
- Lazz done well since coming on for McKercher
- Disposal of Sympkin and Scott has been terrible. Please do not have Scott kick in the back half. Stupid tactics from the backline coach.
- Curtis in front of goal. We don’t have the luxury of missing these shots. Awesome tackle but undid your good work.
- Midfield - just seems incredibly broken and not functioning at all. Players, Coaches, Strategy??
- Tackles being missed and not stuck. Watch X and Hughie for lessons on how to nail.
- Sellers - 1st game and probably as nervous as hell. But would love to see a couple of touches in the 2nd half for his confidence and the clubs.
St Kilda, Adelaide away, Hawthorn, Bulldogs and North wasn't an "easy" start on paper at the start of the year.
Most people probably expected 2 games (Hawks and Roos) to be potentially 'easy wins', and even then it was expected both would improve significantly on last season.

So is the AFL ok with Geelong resting 4 of their best players for this game

Surely you just pay the point without wasting 5 minutes given the context of the game.

Only in AFL would commentators complain about umpires trying to use common sense. Dwyane is such a w***er.
North are seriously an embarrassment. How can you have a kick-mark gameplan if your players can't even hit a 25m uncontested target?
