Was very interesting watching this game, finally, last night. Especially after all the Danger, Razor, Smith, media hype, combined with another close finish. Was not sure what to expect.
Poor finishing hurt both sides. Geelong were a little more polished with their forward entries than us. Also they had a very good marking target to kick to in Danger.
Breust has lost his mojo.
Rough was great. It was nice to see him get physical and not play 'nice' for an entire game. He plays his best footy on ball imo.
Hodges high tackle on Selwood, late in the last was poor (celebration game or otherwise) and was just as costly as Isaac's late miss. Feel for Isaac it appeared nothing more than a spur of the moment decision to play on. There were more shocking misses for us than his one but due to it being the last kick of the game it cops the heat.
As for the umpiring. There were a couple of howlers but at least the Fox telecast/replay gives you a second look. I thought they did a reasonable job. This game (like all games v the cats) was 1 degree off rapid boil for the duration which influenced some decisions, no doubt.
