Autopsy Geelong lose to Richmond by 26 points.. but it really wasnt that close

[dazbroncos]

That was poor.

Like really poor.

Sav took some good grabs and kicked some ugly stuff.

Every Cats player was ordinary.

And with that stick bomb.

Im going to bed for 45 mins before i go to work.

Shite really.

Go Catters

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

They are simply too good. No shame in admitting it.

I’m not sure about Henry.

 

[STPer18]

Sav one of the few who played well.

 

[Reppie]

Four solid quarters of butchering the ball.

 

[Moggy]

Not a fan

 

[The_Todd07]

Well that was shit
Could have really set up a shot at the flag but shit the bed
Now looking like a trip to Adelaide for the first final if we can avoid embarrassing ourselves next week

 

[caitsith01]

People picking out Henry are conveniently overlooking those players who didn't make mistakes because they never went near a contest.

 

[Baudolino]

Seems harsh to say this given that he was really our only silver lining tonight, but I really hope the MC don't read too much in to SavRat's game. Yes, he's clunked a few, but he's not going to do this consistently in finals and he still can't kick.

Not ready yet!

 

[catters_28]

Usual suspects missing, and there's people out there who think we will win a flag this year. Someone on the game day thread even thinks we should bring Cocky in. Hilarious stuff.

 

[Cataholic]

They are simply too good. No shame in admitting it.

I’m not sure about Henry.

They'll be salivating at the thought of meeting us in the GF.

Not that I think we'll get that far now.

 

[strauchnyy]

Same shit, different year.

Full stop.

We are pretenders.Can’t take pressure. Style doesn’t suit finals. Too many mentally weak players which becomes infectious when it matters most.

This game eroded all my belief this year. Expecting finals failure AGAIN

 

[Strange Cat]

We just weren’t up to it tonight and tigers played better , lucky to not be thrashed

dissapointing but I’m still hopeful with some good inclusions coming up for the finals

desperately needed Rohan to keep the ball in the F50, Gaz for his kicking and Selwood for his leadership

not too concerned

 

[_cam]

Margin flattered us

 

[afl genius]

Scott out coached again in another big game, just never learns. Still got finals to get it right but ive minimal confidence. Menegola, Duncan and Gutherie gave us nothing. Silver lining is it's home and away and no injuries

 

[And_ROOS]

Surprised people are content with this and saying "what does it matter?".

Well, we just gifted Richmond 3rd. We also basically just told Richmond that bring a little pressure and we fall apart.

Third for Richmond gifts them their bunnies Brisbane. So Richmond are now a good 80% chance to be in the PF. We have to go to SA and beat the team who has been top of the ladder all season, and should we lose that, we get Richmond in another PF. And we all know how they turn out.

A win tonight would have given us a mental edge, and bumped them out of the top 4. Now we have to hope Sydney don't turn up next week, because WCE and Richmond have teams that will roll over for them.

I have absolutely no faith in this team accomplishing anything this year, and now I would be surprised if we don't go out in straight sets.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Annihilated, humiliated, embarrassed, outclassed, out worked, out played, out muscled, same shit different year.

Will enjoy the travel to Adelaide first final against Port while the tigers steam roll Brisbane.

Pretenders once again.

 

[r32godzilla]

Too little too late, why couldn't we have that attack and effort like the last quarter all game. Lucky we have Ablett, Selwood, Stanley and Rohan to come back. Piss poor effort and game style for three quarters.

 

[Tristan34]

I gotta say this is the softest Geelong team for a long while.. They shit the bed and just lose their mindset with poor skills and decisions..

On a positive note WCE will probably finish fifth and we can hope they lose week 1 and get that good draft pick...

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Stewart, Ratugloea, Guthrie, Blicavs and Atkins were good.

The rest putrid.

We're going to win the flag boys and girls. Get ready.

 

[BotsMaster]

That was shithouse.

 

[Cataholic]

Same sh*t, different year.

Full stop.

We are pretenders.

I think so.

Bring pressure and we run scared.

 

[calder_daddy]

Explain to me if Kolo kept Riewoldt goalless in a prelim, why he’s not on him tonight?
Henry panicked a lot tonight, didn’t even see Taylor in the second half nearly.
Grimes tore us apart tonight and we let Nankervis run around tonight like he was a running half back flanker.

In hindsight losing tonight should see us play PA in the first final in Adelaide and I’m more than ok with that

Heads up, that was shit and deserved to win by 10+ goals

 

[CoolCat75]

Here’s the positive : every premiership we’ve lost in the 2nd last round

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Ugly and terrible footy. We played poorly and didn’t deserve to be within 10 goals.

in the context of the season as long as we win next week the game means very little really. Just a game to dissect and hopefully learn from.

truly believe our outs are much more impactful than theirs are given the game style we have.

Bring in rohan stanley selwood steven ablett And we will look quite different.

Richmond are the benchmark team in the AFL

 

[Baudolino]

The good news is that as bad as we played I think that last quarter comeback spared some of the psychological damage a full-on scoreboard humiliation would have created.
