If Jack Henry wasn't a junior high-jumper we lose. Great springs to intercept that ball in the middle and then take off like a cat with Clark alongside him.
 
Our fitness is shocking, two weeks in a row we’ve had 4 goal leads in the last Q and stopped dead in our tracks. Hope we can continue banking wins as our fitness base and improves.

I guess the last few years we’ve started the season strongly and faded, don’t mind the slower build up this season.

Dangerfield and Cameron will make us a 20% better side soon.
 
It'll go under the radar because the all-round performance was poor but gee Rhys Stanley is an awful excuse for a footballer. Would actually rather Jenkins in the team at this point

Yeah he was terrible. Soft as butter, terrible disposal, dropped sitters, didn't contest marks etc

We look cooked. How can we be that unfit before even half way through the 3rd? Of a 10 day break no less. Don’t give me the limited pre-season bullshit cause it was long enough, and it’s not like the players get super unfit after 6 weeks off. It was only what, 4 months ago we were playing in the gf?
 
Chris Scott is cutting laps during the Player interview with MOC 🤣

2 so far
 
Not a lot to write home about but always good to beat that mob.
If we are still playing like this in a few weeks when we are hopefully close to best 22, I'll be concerned.

Most of the league is using the new rules to play fast exciting football and scoring heavily and we are stuck doing the opposite. A situation that makes me feel dirty as a Geelong supporter
 
That last quarter was just huge.

Guthrie 41 disposals at 81% efficiency. 19 were kicks. Just huge. 3 votes.

Henry stepping up to a role that he hasn't played with much success. 2 important goals at important times and creates the turnover that gives Clark the match winner. But running late when everyone is out of gas. 2 votes.

Mark O'Connor. A key reason we put distance on them early by not just shutting down Mitchell but with effective and aggressive forward kicking. Huge in defending the back half late in the contested work. He cannot come out of the midfield. 1 vote.

Solid debut to Holmes. His work when attacking looks good, he does not look like a wing to me. Point to improve is his defensive work, because he was shepherding a lot when he should have run at them harder.

Shame about Evans, hope it's a short lay off

It was the shortest ever pre-season...
Don't care if you don't like it, every club that went deep last year have spoken about it, how are Richmond going? They don't even have our injuries...
 
What a surprise. Robbo is half pissed again.
F**k I hate this show. If I wanted to hear a pisshead ramble on I'd go down to the pub.
Not half pi$$ed, at least 9 sheets to the wind

 
A win is a win at this stage with our outs. I’d be worried if there was no upside from here but there’s truckloads.
Yeah there is....I still worry about the slow chip, chip game plan though. A lot of sides seem to have sped up their game plans because of the new man on the mark rule, but we don't seem to have changed anything. Maybe when we get a 2nd tall option in the forward line things may change (I hope).

Last year had short quarters though.
Makes a big difference.
No G games either.
Dunno about judging this year on last year. It was weird and suited us.
