Are you effing serious on we learned something about sav From tonight? He took 7 marks all from down the field kicks. None of them chip kicks sideways. 5 of them contested. 2 goals. And whats more. He actually freed up hawkins when he finally went foward. Hawkins was getting killed before he went foward.
some people just see what they want to see.
we can not beat richmond without sav in the side.
jenkins is now past it and he was never a great mark to begin with. Jenkins didnt take 1 single mark last week from a down the field kick. And he played in a massacre. sav 7 against the best team. Jenkins 0 against the bombers.

Unless we can work out countering the opposition's outstanding pressure and speed we have NO chance and a Geelong 2020 finals campaign will look just like all our other recent failed efforts after what we thought was going to be a more promising campaign in 2020. If we do bomb out of a finals series yet again, *serious* questions have to be raised about our coaching team and whether they are what's needed given the cattle we've had for the last few years that is now maturing in experience, etc. Surely they are (have been?) capable of a flag?!! Just not good enough if we fail yet again...
IMHO I reckon you are on the money (sadly)...Same story, different day.
It’s truly frightening how often and consistently this team wilts under pressure.
When the heat is on, we as a collective turn to water. The amount of miss-kicks, turn overs, fumbles and poor decisions was horrifying, yet again. Even the times we do get the ball in our hands, they panic from the perceived pressure, and end up kicking it indiscriminately to nobody.
I’m the first to applaud blokes like Guthrie and Menegola on their good seasons, but seriously, who doesn’t expect them to revert back to regular programming in finals!? Tonight there was numerous examples of that from them both. I really hope they prove me wrong eventually.
The skipper, the GOAT, Rohan, Stanley and Steven should all play next week. Close, Jarvis, Fogarty, and if it wasn’t for that last quarter, I’d have said Sav all our.
If that’s a final Rohan and Selwood play, that’s just a fact. Rohan does add to our forwardline but is notorious for not performing in big games. I agree with the last point this could really dishearten the team.

If thats a final astbury plays which more than negates rohans return.

Richmond will probably add Prestia, Edwards, Lambert, Caddy and Astbury to their finals team.
Rohan would not have got a kick Richmond crowed our forward line no space for Rohan to run down tackles or lead
He would have at least helped to keep the pill in the forward 50 when it hit the deck. Our defensive pressure after 1/4 time in their was pathetic.

What are the powerball numbers for next week?
rohan does not offset their loss of astbury.

Like Andy Maher said, Richmond's 'mental disintegration of Geelong was bloody impressive'.
And like CS said, 'they executed better'.
There's nothing wrong with us admitting that we were simply beaten in every facet of the game by a superior team. They were coached better, played better, were more intense, courageous, and far better skilled.

We can not beat Richmond they are a hard team we have players that go missing when it gets tough
The qtr it became obvious that sav was needed for this years finals was not the fourth. It was the 1st. When hawkins couldnt get near it because tigers opponents were running off their man to triple team him.
even scott eventually figured it out and put sav permanently foward in the last. Cant run off your man if your man is also a big marking threat.
foward line needs to be hawkins, sav and rohan.

I was replying to a post that said he doesn’t buy that we held back with selection ... but that is fact.
Not once did I say it will make a difference.

Crap, I said 4 to 8 goals and it hasn't been just in the lead up to this game, on exposed form we've easily been the best team for a while and I've been posting that for weeks.
Out coached and out played. Fraudulent.
Bad luck fellas, I watched the entire game and was barracking for you lot, I was just surprised how quickly your scoring efficiency dropped last night after kicking a massive score last week, just 12 shots from 40 inside 50’s, Hawkins was completely swamped and uncharacteristically dropped a couple of easy marks and shots, even the clean centre clearances were rebounding back in a hurry from your forward 50. Good luck in the finals, I would have preferred to have played you in the QF but who knows still may turn out that way.
This is why Port can not win it with only Dixson

no worries. I wasn’t correcting you in particular but others have been saying the players we had out were significant. I think Richmond’s outs were more significant.

Good morning peeps!
After good nights sleep he's my take.
Richmond is and has been Number 1 for now 4 years running for a reason, as we saw last night.
We are 2 steps behind them and a step behind the Eagles & Pies. Ironically beaten by all 3 this season.
So that is where we sit give or take.
Tigers pressure was high whilst we were at a season low by all reports.
It was a reflection of the game that played out.
Is it the end of the world?? No, far from it.
A tweak here a tweak here. An addition of one or two key players namely Rohan/Stanley and to a lesser extent Selwood/Ablett.
We might have a different outcome... maybe... but... a lot has to go our way.
Big ticks to SavRat tonight, thought he played a pretty good game along with Blitz who's been my whipping boy for a long time now.
But another disappointment for me was... Danger, who has become a BIG GAME DUD i'm afraid. Too many occasions now he's been well below par.
Pressure does strange things to blokes and tonight we saw that in players that have had a great couple of weeks.
Well it's back to the drawing board and plan for another battle in the ring vs The Champ who let's remember is the champ for a reason.
That's football.
Cheers boys. Lick our wounds, dust off the shit that will come our way & look ahead for a better outing next time around.

Sav played permanently forward for only 1 qtr and he and hawkins take 5 foward fifty marks and five set shots on goal in that qtr. yes just terrible. In the first 3 qtrs we had a grand total of 1 foward fifty mark. Ironically that came from a sav foward entry whilst he was playing ruck.
Danger spent too much of the game up foward. He needs to play these games as a permanent mid. Stop playing atkins, dalhaus and fogarty in there and play danger their permanently. danger as a mid is the reason we were 4 goals up in the prelim last year at half time. Then he went foward.
Anyone have a heat map of sav? I don't have access.
For so long in football history the most important player on the ground was the centre half foward. Now not only do we not consider them the most important but masterminds like scott dont even want to play one at all.
there is a reason why the best team in the land in rivhmond went hard for lynch despite already having the coleman medalist in their team. They knew they were vulnerable if the one key foward was targetted.
playing two permanent key fowards really is a non negotiable if you have them.
