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

[Leeds17]

Parfitt was good, tackles harrassed and actually had a dip all game

Just his awful kicking lets him down, he can play a defensive role at stoppages fine, don’t think he’s the issue

 

[mcwilrob]

Nah. The first half proved we could match them without Hawkins. The second half, we did it to ourselves. Hawkins was never going to stop those easy goals Richmond got. Our backline caved. But I don't blame the players. Except wtf was Blicavs doing in the second half!? He's a wingman now?

Another totally STUPID coaching decision by Scott!

 

[longtimecat]

Waiting to hear the coach, he must be asked why no plan B. Blizzard to full back would have been a simple call even for CS

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

The biggest reason our finals campaign failed was Chris Scott, but having made the prelim they'll pat him on the back at clubland and paper over the cracks.

 

[darren forssman]

The decision to play our best KPD all year on a wing all game, while Lynch ran wild is up there with one of the more arrogant pig headed coaching decisions I've ever seen

But, but , but...it worked last week.

Scott should read more PDS’s...Past performance is not an indicator of future performance.

 

[Purrfect pussy]

Obviously not a great feeling to lose after being up and dominating the first half. But some of the melts in here are ridiculous.

We were beaten by the better team on the night, should’ve taken our chances in the 1st half.

I hope hawkins is shattered, couldve really used him tonight.

Taylor is done, TK probably gone, really hope gaz goes around 1 more time but with snr in the crowd i suspect that could be the end for him.

Disappointing, but that’s football.

 

[DAlembert]

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

Bad call on Touhy...the one he gets compared to and who has just signed a 2 year contract. 1 Rebound B50 Tuohy 8 Rebounds. Saying he is soft makes you look like an idiot.

 

[hoopla]

Good effort with Hawkins and Duncan in the stands, can't help but think we win if they were out there.

Hawkins Duncan Clarke Rohan. Important players missing, but still should have won it after that first half.

 

[Chinacats]

We just fell asleep after half time and should of been up by far more at half time

They just couldn’t keep it up

3rd quarter just unacceptable! Had the game and coughed it up so quickly. Woods had us 46-10, eagles + 38 in 2nd & 3rd quarters and tonight bullied after half time. Quite simply not good enough in September again! Scott said it feels different this year! F him!

 

[catters05]

You can’t blame the loss on one player

The team ran out of legs...THE TEAM

Not the loss, but shouldn’t have put himself in the situation.

 

[InnocentBystandr]

That game mirrored our season - great first half, poor second half.

 

[BotsMaster]

It really sucks that Richmond's chaos football is the way to win a game

 

[Tandy]

You can’t drop this on the coach it was clearly the team

The team yes, first and foremost. And Scott. His position is near untenable.

 

[Two Planks]

We continue to pick 9 defenders and heaps of slow mediums.

RUN was always going to be our enemy and so it turned out to be.

Please, please pick a balanced team in the future.

 

[Leeds17]

Would have been handy in that first final.

You a bit late back to your seat for the second half?

 

[afl genius]

You a
You are f*** kidding surely? We were screwed royally that game by the umps.

Usually we do but we got the better of it tonight

 

[ToreadorMarch]

Thought Houli was their best player in second half and I do believe he was playing on Geelong royalty. Disappointing

 

[longtimecat]

Waiting to hear the coach, he must be asked why no plan B. Blics to full back would have been a simple call even for CS

 

[maryjames]

2 goals in a half. We supposed to be a gun last quarter team.

 

[Scottland2007]

Bad luck cats. I feel that was the last big role of the dice and our window is shut. Got lucky to keep our window open so long. Got lucky that the best player in the comp wanted to move back to the surf coast. Got lucky that one of the best players in the comp went unnoticed and signed to us for 2 years. Got lucky that the father /son rule allowed us to get Selwood and Hawkins in the same draft. Well, to quote Metallica “our luck’s run out”. We’ll have no Ablett, Harry or Kelly next year. Might make the 8, but windows closed. The boys did well tonight and Myers is my new favourite.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Ran out of legs just like in the 2013 prelim. Another year ruined because we f*** up selection in the first final. Heads must role.

The first final was a disaster

In saying that tonight proved Geelong isnt best side of 2019

 

[Wojo]

Nah, we were close. Don’t let it get to you.

No, he’s right, Chris has had many chances. Times up. Let’s move forward and be brave with somebody else. Close is not good enough.

 

[wian]

Danger?

 

[DangerHere]

Waiting to hear the coach, he must be asked why no plan B. Blizzard to full back would have been a simple call even for CS

He needs to review the data

 

[Leeds17]

If Danger wins the Brownlow I hope he thinks about the second half because seriously the Brownlow is nothing versus making the GF and he was there and he had the chance -WTF? Is he injured ?

Unless it’s a lack of effort I don’t it’s fair to criticize him too much.
