[Geelong_Sicko]

Pods gets his second. We're up by a point! 26 minutes gone!!

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Freo up by a point, 32 minutes gone

 

[thejester]

Bugger.

 

[madcat001]

game ova

 

[Catsace]

Who are Hill and Ballantyne? Ah well, it's just disappointing given we were so close with three big outs.

 

[Ty-Land]

Dammit. Tough loss.

 

[LifeSpan-Void]

gotta hand it to them, they've sorted their shit out it would seem

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

And we're gone. Freo 8 points up

 

[AidanNelson2009]

Have to say, what a shocking performace by Geelong. I havn't seen them play like they did in a long, long time.

 

[Grizzly_82]

Ah dissapointing...full credits to freo they did well

 

[KevinCat07]

Awesome game, but not a suprising loss given how Freo are playing this season. Got to hand it to them.

Freo and Stk should be good.

 

[Catsace]

Not a lot of sides could lose Ottens, Scarlett and Mooney or their equivalent and travel after a six day break and win well. We nearly had them but too loose on unknowns like Ballantine, Hill, Duffield and Broughton. Pavlich's six goals the most by him for almost two seasons. We will be better back in Victoria with our big guns back.

 

[year of the cat]

Missed Scarlett and Milburn down back - we seemed to leak goals down back pretty badly.

 

[Dirtywhirl]

What an epic game

 

[Catsace]

Would venture to say that 18.17.125 (35 scoring shots) is the most we've conceded for absolute ages. Even in the Pies whipping they scored 20.14.134. Without Milburn and Scarlett our defence was leaking big time.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Bloody hell, Sandilands 37 hit-outs and Michael Johnson's 5 to Mark Blake's 13 and Dawson Simpson's 5.

Pav kicked 5.4 while for us Gaz kicked 4.2, Chappy 3.2, and Tomahawk got 3 straight.

 

[TheMightyAchilles]

blake offers jack, time he was outed rather than more excuses made

 

[The Casey Cat]

Lazy, shameful and utterly ####en pathetic performance. Were 21 points up late in the third. Back line and perhaps midfield need serious kick up the @$$ for disgusting unaccountable display for much of the match. And for the last time Blake can #### off. Would prefer Hawkins/Mooney back pinch hitting in the ruck along with Ottens/Simpson if need be.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

No streaks this year........

Oh well, we did alright considering our history against Fremantle at Subiaco, the fact that Freo are a largely imrpoved side, we were missing Ottens, Scarlett, Milburn, Mooney, Rooke and Varcoe and were coming off a six day break after an extremely physical Hawthorn game.

Disappointing that we don't get to play them again this year. I'd really like to see how they come off against a more full and fit Geelong side.

 

[Gazzajr is god]

And it was 30C aswell. I thought Freo would run over the top. Still would of been great to of won.

 

[AidanNelson2009]

Freonjust had to much run in the end, it's been a while since I have seen Geelong under so much pressure and making so many mistakes, the freo players were lose everywhere. We should have won, but to many errors and behinds lost it, had we of kicked the easy goals we should have in late 2nd half and early in the third, the game would have been over. Pavlich must love it when he finds out he's playing Geelong, because everytime we play Freo he has a field day out, and Sandilands, 37 hit-outs, Blake is useless, why we kept him and got rid of Mumford just dazzles me.
