No Oppo Supporters Geelong defeated by Richmond in PF by 19 points

[Grimoz]

He's not why we lost - couldn't get the ball forward of the centre during the second half.

They lifted and we didn't; so I hope the 22 out there tonight feel it burning them that they couldn't finish what they started

How the **** can you say that, we had 50 ****ing inside 50s....50....not 20....50 so the ball was in there more than enough, he is the reason and he should take the blame for his stupid brain fades time and time again

 

[ToreadorMarch]

He was absolutely *******

And he’s the one you think should leave? Big difference of opinion between us I’d say. Trade him and it’ll bite you.

 

[Strange Cat]

I knew those misses in the second qtr were going to be costly

Gutted

Just so depressed

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Feel it Hawkins, feel it burning you moron.

Woeful take. 6 more likes than it deserves. We got here because of him, won numerous games because of him.

22 players choked away a lead with poor skills and work rate, and not one of them was Hawkins. It’s all on them.

 

[DangerHere]

Thought we would have slided down the ladder this year.
Finished on top was a bonus so not overly dissapointed.

Rubbish

On top not good enough, on top needs a GF

 

[dazbroncos]

Regret....

What might have been

1/4 1 on Pies QF scuttled us really. Could have been playing GWS.. but no... we ended up here

Well at least the club has saved me 2500 on airfares and another 2k in lost wages for next week.

Thanks Geelong.

Go Catters

The Jekyll and Hyde appeared again for Geelong, this time in the same game.

We should have been 6 goals ahead at the main break but gave them a sniff with some easy misses.

How we can go to utter crap after half time particularly when they have injuries is inexplicable. Our midfield got smashed after half time.

Very much a lost opportunity.

 

[Micksy]

Looks like the Chris Scott thread will be progressing to part 5: The Umpires Strike Back.

 

[Baudolino]

He was absolutely *******

Yep.

Not sure how anyone could see it any other way tbh

He was diabolical.

 

[Gogeelong]

i suggest we trade Hawkins and keep Kelly.
Dmsrt move!!

 

[mcwilrob]

Our full back plays on the wing, gets 10 possessions, while their full forward has 19 possessions, 8 marks and kicks 5 goals in a 19 point win.

Mind boggling decision by Chris Scott.

Yet again - right up there with dropping Stanley in the first final we lost with his coaching masterstrokes FFS

 

[ToreadorMarch]

Taylor and henderson should never ever play in the same team

 

[InnocentBystandr]

Where was Danger after half time?

 

[xtatik222k]

So disappointing. We were the better team and just ran out of steam. Our season was lost after that moronic decision to drop Stanley against the Pies. Last week took too much out of the boys.

Yep. Finals are won in small moments. That was moronic. This finals series will be defined by dropping Stanley, and Hawkins dropping Schofield

 

[OzeSparky]

Well.
We have a couple of players that can’t handle the pressure

Blicavs
Thouhy (soft efforts from the start)

Few tough calls need to be made

I would offer them both up on the trade block, I might be tough but I think the club needs to make a statement to some of these players.

Stanley was good dropped a few though
Kelly was good

Ablett retire
Harry retire

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Nonsense.

Sadly what I feared came true, we are not skilled enough to play a whole game against a high pressure side

Nothing to do with tactics, just a plethora of s**t turnovers that burnt us the other way, and a plethora of tigers knocking the ball on and keeping it alive. They knew they had us for run

BS. Blicavs on the wing while Lynch kicks 5. Bet Scott will say he didn't have an influence. Delist all our ruck stocks while we are at it. I don't want to see Stanley wear our jumper again. Thankfully Kelly had a good game to maintain his trade stocks. Henderson gone as well - great coaching Scott. Had a huge impact.

 

[The rabbi]

I know it's not his fault, but fu** me dead, Tom Hawkins

No, to a certain degree, it is his fault.
We had no one who could take a mark in the forward 50.

 

[Chinacats]

Danger missing in the second half, poor kicking from gettable shots.

Ah well, roll on 2020.

Oh well- that’s piss poor! Pretend you’re cultured and enjoy your art!

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Players gave it everything they had. Blicavs should be sacked if he ever again ventures out of the back 50.

If that was Scott's idea, he should be sacked.

Our game plan is a first half good idea. Against the best attacking sides, it doesn't travel well. It's too exhausting. It looks like it, anyway. Maybe it would work if we were a more skillful team. At the moment I think our coaching staff put little into that area. If Danger ever hits a team-mate with an on-the-run kick, it will be the first time.

BLICAVS IN THE BACKLINE ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[00VicWard001]

Feel sorry for the boys! 2020 with Duncan, Hawk, Nakia, Clarke and Rohan!!

 

[catman2006]

Good first half and shocking 2nd half Richmond deserved the win, could it have been different if Hawkins played probably not, our system of kicking was really poor in 2nd half and allowing tigers just to keep running and then get it out the back in their fwd line I counted 5 or 6 times was poor, we need to inject a little more pace Clark and Nakia was the real cost

 

[Art Vandelay_]

And he’s the one you think should leave? Big difference of opinion between us I’d say. Trade him and it’ll bite you.

He’s a tease, has been all year, has been since he played a blinder v the Saints early last season.

Doesn’t do enough as a small forward, seemingly not rated enough to be a full time mid, and as we saw tonight has zero composure under pressure.

If we keep him, and we probably will then 2020 is the make or break year

 

[Tristan34]

The short kicking game plan was a good call, but the tigers stopped it and Scott had to go to plan B bomb it down the line...

 

[mcwilrob]

Chris Scott is the worst game day coach I have ever seen. He does nothing, blind Freddy could see Taylor on Lynch wasn’t working, he did nothing. Blitz completely ineffective on the wing, fu** it, just leave him there. Danger having a mare of a second half ow well let’s try nothing to get home into the game.

The Tigers adjusted at half time and Scott has no answers when plan A stops working.

The worst is that the club has committed us to how many more years of him?

 

[Magnum]

That hurt given we we up but it just seemed like our players were spent and each little bounce and rub of the green went against us... hope to peak better next year and learn from this season
