I had more the thought of some Tarantino film with a deadbeat going to town on some poor soul (geelong mids)

Stewart needed a mirror! He was the last person who should be delivering sprays today!

True enough
Here lies the craftiness of Scott praising up Sav, in case we imploded.
6 Geelong games this season decided by 2 goals or less. 5 losses, 1 draw.
Usually we're pretty good in those close games and a positive differential has probably carried us to top 4 at times.
Turn just 3 of those into wins and we'd actually we top 4, but unfortunately we have been found wanting in the decisive moments this season.

A spray comes from a perception of doing soemthing wrong in a single play. Its hardly an argument about his overall game.
Ain't improving either. Suns leading Lions.
Good perspective.
I reckon what makes those games the results they are is it’s been so hard to steady in the clutch moments when you get beaten like a tsunami out of the middle… it puts a lot of pressure on all your other structures to hold.

Stanley was one of our best - he beat Jackson but our 'rovers' are sub-par, though Bruhn again showed he will be a player.
SDK did a dumb Kolo kick off one step - why don't the coaches address this?
Rohan was good in the middle when he went there.
But we lost through dumb football going forward - i keep saying it. Neither the Lions last week or Freo today kicked big scores.
Frankly it is pitiful watching us play this year - the tall defender (Pearce?) had a picnic as did Andrews last week.

Agree , Jackson was very good compared to Stanley
Yep. Been fat headed, lazy, unaccountable and pathetic in general all year. They can all #### off.

Sav wont play forward that ship has sailed. He will play back and j henry will go forward unless we go smaller (ie swap out hawk for menegola or dempsey or a similar sized player).
Kind of agree. Cant blame the coaches for this. The talent just isnt there. Bruhn has potential but he aint there yet. Holmes looks like a gun winger to me but not a centre clearance player. dangers too old. Atkins and blicavs have gotton the best out of their talent but arent great centre mids. They are servicable as mids. Atkins probably should be a flanker who rotates through the mids. Not part of the A mid team. Boy do we need clark to be a future gun.

Look I for one think we should “start”.
He’s was out cold for a while and no doubt had severe concussion.
Could take 6-8 weeks for everything to return to normal.
He’s NQR for a reason……

“If results go certain way etc we could finish as low as 15th.
Honestly if Hawkins and Blitz are out for the rest of the year, perhaps it's a good thing.
Perhaps we should look at getting into the discussion for Harley Reid.. Pick 4 & Future First or similar for Pick 1 this year..”

“No no no. We've never finished lower than 12th and we aren't tankers”
SNAP!

Aren’t their penises for tanking? Huge ones?
You’re not suggesting we lose for better picks, are you? You’re saying “IF results go a certain way etc”? Right?
‘Etc’
Cue Monty Python’s:
“Eh? know what I mean? Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge! Know what I mean? Say no more! A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, say no more, say no more!”
Seriously though, IF we’re a chance to play Finals, I reckon the PTB will continue with out of form players, as a steadying presence for Kittens. Only time we missed Finals was 2014 (???) + Club honour ensures we go for it.
Nevertheless, while it’s distressing to miss Finals, I’m on the ‘Get Games into the Kittens’ bandwagon.
Think Rohan is worth a go tossing in there?? I didn’t mind some of the work he did around congestion today. Broke the lines a couple of times
It’s a good observation- we don’t lose by much. Just shows how good we really were a year ago- even playing as poorly as we have been, and having no effective midfield, we are still in most contests this year.
One positive I took away from today was bruhn is one little nugget of an inside mid… a couple of contests he went in like a bull and really took on serong and brayshaw. I really liked what I saw him dish up. When the heat goes up he is happy to lace his boots up and dive in.
Still very young and realistically two years away from being A grade. But he will get there

I’m heading to 0-4 as we speak.
