Autopsy Geelong smashed by Demons in PF and its gonna be a long summer

[catman2006]

A lot of 2010 feel this finals series never looked like it and lucky GWS were so poor and injury-hit should have been a straight-sets exit, think this game seals the game plan and the Chris Scott

You know we were leading in a Grand Final at half time less than a year ago right?

Agreed. And probably should have been a few more goals up too.

 

[Sky]

You're a fool if you believe that.

This era has been over for a while now, but the club hasn't been able to swallow that bitter pill. The midfield has no more gas in the tank.

The game plan is an attempt to cover the lack of personnel. It doesn't work in finals. The club has made some huge missteps with our recruiting and development. The hurricane we've been ignoring is now hitting the shoreline.

Time to step down, Scotty. You failed.

I was anti Scott before it was cool but happily gave him the benefit of the doubt this year for making a grand final again ****ing finally. Nothing you’ve said is really wrong but we’ll make the 8 again and be booted out again as always. I’m willing to bank on it

 

[fpm84]

No point having two Coleman medallists in the forward line if you can’t get the ball down there.

Backline all at sea, same finals failures again can’t get it done when it matters.

Midfield needs a clean out and there must be a direction to not trade any top 30 picks out for the next 2 years minimum.

Good luck to Melbourne, their supporters have suffered like us pre-07, hope they get it done in two weeks time.

Worked out well didn’t it , the same stuff that happened tonight happened last year …and the year before…and so on and so on

 

[caitsith01]

It was predictable and in the end it’s only a game no reason to get worked up about no matter how bad it feels

Found Chris Scott's account.

 

[year of the cat]

I’d be shattered if it wasn’t anything but predictable.

Get smashed first final, beat lower ranker team in semi, get smashed in prelim. Rinse, repeat.

Funny, but it was entirely predictable. Don’t feel too bad. What happens next will be the interesting bit.

 

[cats_09]

Nobody cares about the "making finals" window
Play horrid joyless football all season to finish high enough to get flogged in finals. What a ride.

Think you'll find that the club and board care greatly about that

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Rebuilding from the bottom is hard. They themselves have proven that with how many times they had to do it over and over again before they got it right. Also need the right people in the right places.

history says that once you're at the bottom it's bloody hard to get off it.

 

[xtatik222k]

You know we were leading in a Grand Final at half time less than a year ago right?

Yeah, just like Adelaide in '17. Seriously contending, weren't they?

 

[vikum123]

Just weird to see Blicavs ( nothing personal obvs) equal with 2 B&F with greats like J.Corey and 2 more than Jimmy. Guess timing is everything.

Shame we couldn’t pinch a flag over the pst decade like Hawks did in 08.

Cannot continue dishing the same results we need a fresh approach need more patience with the younger players. Frustrating to see so many players have ample experience in finals over the years but still fail to deliver both individually and as a collective group.

 

[kickazz]

Deep down we have players who don't really believe they are good enough I recon.

Instead of taking the game on and playing for each other they just don't want to be the one to stuff it up.

 

[Kyuss]

I think we should trade Narkle, Clark and Constable and load up with Burgoyne, Mumford and Mundy. Surely we can reach another Prelim in 2022?

Henderson might be done and pull the pin. But we can grab Talia so its all good.

 

[afl genius]

Melbourne are a good side but any one could see this coming a mile away. Hopefully silver lining is Scott will not be coach next year

 

[HaroLad]

Yeah, just like Adelaide in '17. Seriously contending, weren't they?

If you're in front at that stage, I don't know how you can conceive of that as not 'seriously contending'

 

[Cataholic]

Scott has the Ross Lyons about him. Good coach highly credentialled, just cannot get the big one. I've always thought it's over coaching.

I sincerely hope that we change our assistant coaches at the very least.

Scarlo, Knights & Co have to go. We need different voices.

 

[winty]

Higgins with 14 possessions in 28:43 of game time. The man he replaced had 1 possession in 76:30.

 

[catscratchfever]

Melbourne easily the best, most capable team and played accordingly.

Surely Geelong will see a few retirements?

Or do we get another year from Joel, from Danger? Make them semi-permanent forwards?

I'm for being ruthless with our dad's army.

[catters_28]

I don't want to see Rohan or Henderson in the hoops ever again. One is useless and the other cooked

100%

Found Chris Scott's account.

Would you rather have a tantrum over the internet about something out of your control ?

it sucks and changes need to be made but there’s more to life than having a tantrum over a loss

 

[Moggy]

All eyes on Hocking now.

Indeed!

"Welcome back to Geelong, Steven. There are one or two items in the intray..."

 

[Pollywaffle]

Comprehensively beaten in all departments. Nothing positive to take out of that game
Is it the smashing we needed? ...Stay tuned.

 

[Seeds]

Shorter games and season helped us enormously.
