Autopsy Geelong defeated by Tigers by 31 points.

[Live in hope]

Can’t complain. Tigers went up two gears and we weren’t even close. I think they even had another gear.

Great effort by our guys - 2.5 really excellent finals after qualifying final loss. Looked a bit gassed in that second half but really just couldn’t match it.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Weird hey, for all that and how close it felt, it wasn't far off the Adelaide margin of years ago.

With shortened quarters 31 points is a flogging. We got destroyed after half time. It wasn't a contest.

 

[dazbroncos]

Glad to see Sel kept them all out there.

They need to feel that burn and understand the pain and digest it front on.

But you cant get it fully if you are not out there.

Make the burn a driver going forward.

GO Catters

 

[Ratcat]

I think the problem is too much relies on Hawkins he has the ability to score goals but not enough ability to do it solo. Something says that having that second big forward option is really going to be helpful with attacking.

I've been saying that all year.

 

[smotherking]

We have to go again. Let’s hope we get another chance

 

[doyley]

Spot on but we'll probably trade Partfitt for Cameron + picks

Well we won’t be trading Parfitt. Probably one of the future quality players we will wholly haopefully have in the next 5 or so years when he gets towards his peak.

 

[frggr]

Team full of champions, no champion team.

No surprise the guys who gave it everything weren't the most lauded of Geelong's recruits (Stewart etc).

I'm not really sure where to go from here, tbh

 

[year of the cat]

I’m not sure how we review this match. But the thought of bringing in Higgins at 33 years of age just makes me feel sick at the moment.

 

[Wojcinski]

We have to go again. Let’s hope we get another chance

Time isn't on our side with our lists age but I think we still have a year left in us

 

[kickazz]

Maybe putting Dangerfield back in there would have been the play...

Ya recon?

 

[Play it Sam]

We didn't really learn anything after all.
Watched them attack the ball with feral madness, the outside run, radar like chaos, scrub kicks and at stages we stood back and watched.
That's the disappointment, unable to come up with any sort of counterattack. Unable to build on a lead and heads dropped, intent dropped.
Too many down, missed chances and no hard tags. Few forward forays past an awesome defence.
Nice dream while it lasted, and a good finals run to detract from lockdown misery, so thanks for that Catters and fellow forum members.

Does anyone else feel kind of disassociated from it all given the circumstances?

If today’s game was at the ‘G after a normal season I would be shattered. Hard to have the same emotional attachment given everything that has gone on to get to this point.

[Jekyll and Hyde]

Mark Yeates running through Dustin Martin at the first bounce would have made it a different game.

 

[Walter H White]

Gutted. Still proud of our season overall, but doesn't feel like it at the moment. Guthrie, Menengola, Stewart were great. A few others were very good too. Just too many that weren't quite up to it.

Thanks Gary and Harry. Win, lose or draw I love this club.

[Overhang]

There is no point melting, we gave it a bloody good crack, Richmond are just a great side with a game plan that has now stood the test of time for 4 years in finals footy. We got a hell of a lot right, we probably just needed to go for 10 mins longer from late in the 2nd to start of the 3rd, if we win the contests at that time I don’t think Richmond would have believed they could come back.

Martin just can’t be contained in finals, the bloke is too good.

 

[winty]

F**k, love them or hate them, but that was classy as hell by Richmond to put a hold on their celebrations for a few minutes to form a guard of honour for the GOAT.

 

[mcwilrob]

They just wanted it more than we did. We stopped going hard at the ball after half time and that let them have the game on their terms.

We have a few players who seize up and play tentatively under heat.

Nailed i!

 

[Chinacats]

Effin p weak in the end. Absolutely flopped! Tigers just bang it in and we effin over handball. Dumb football.

 

[Lyttelton Ranger]

Richmond just a better team & our system and personal just doesn’t stand up against them.

I’m proud of a lot of things this club did this season.

The word of warning for is is... Adelaide were 3 goals up against Richmond in 2017 & look where they are now, tread carefully.

Hopefully there are no training camps booked for the summer

 

[ibuprofen]

The guys who are 15-22 failed us again mostly. Too many passengers. Too many of these guys have one gear.

Keep making excuses, its all irrelevant, we exist to win premierships not lose Grand Finals.

A failure and nothing short of it. Shows why we need to stock up on old guys.

 

[Tony Barber]

Great first half of footy.
But gee, to lose the next 35 minutes or so by 52 points.... A smashing.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Honestly I agree they are average. Dustin Martin won them that game hands down.

No one goes near him, must smell or something.

Seriously though, HT, up by 15pts, everyone and their dog knew Richmond would come hard 3rd quarter, what was the message? Surely you start with our best midfield group and blanket Dusty? This bullshit “we back our system” bullshit kills me, put someone on him to slow his influence ffs, no team does it and it’s mind boggling.

 

[frggr]

Stewart was bloody great for us, along with Guthrie, Harry is cooked and gave nothing in the 2nd half, stupid turnovers instead of going forward killed us, Danger should hang his head in shame, made it all about him and cocked it up!!!

That's been the issue the entire time he's been with us, except the last few weeks.

 

[hoopla]

Honestly I agree they are average. Dustin Martin won them that game hands down.

Nah. He was good but it was a team effort in that second half.
