Autopsy Rd 10 Blues lose by 28 - Couldn't capitalise on opportunities

The big question out of tonights game should be when does Geelong start its rebuild?

I had them as my "flag Favourite" start of the season.
Never been wrong much.

They Are "POO".

Cripps got caught holding the ball a few times but he had no choice but to basically take on the opposition players.

He’d barge through and win the ball and look around to find someone to dish off the handball to but there would be no one in support so the only other option was to hold onto the ball for as long as he could.

Tonight showed us we need Pickett back badly......Mckay and LOB need a well earned rest....we should have won that match....but at least we showed a little...next weeks match against the swans will be played very similarly.. it will be a very low scoring game.....Cripps is a machine....Fisher is one of our bet ball user and is really good in traffic....Willow needs to come in when match fit, would love to see him running the with plowman the other...

Agree Pickett would’ve been handy tonight, we needed a quick small skilled forward.

I would keep playing McKay in the seniors, even it’s for 60% game time - he’s a third year player that needs games, and I’m not sure he’ll learn a great deal in the VFL.

We should all Tweet the footage to 360

Na Gerard loves the cats will let it slide but find something on us instead.

Take a look at who returned to the team this week and maybe that's the pertinent point.
With the two Curnows, Weitering and Cuningham back in the side we were always going to be much better than we were last week.

Best you stick your head out the window and take a deep Breath,,

The Whole world Stinks.....

Twas I talking about last week..

FFS.

Cripps would win the Brownlow this year if he was at a semi decent side. No doubt in my mind

Kingy, he might win it anyway in a semi terrible side

 

[Benaly28]

What I did like is that the boys showed a bit of mongrel tonight and didn’t get intimidated by them.Pushed them around the park,and Cripps was right in the middle of it maybe that’s what I see that Murph dosent do.

It must have pained you greatly to watch him play a couple of half decent games in a row lately then. I want him out of the team too. But vitriol is weak.

Vitriol??
You’re very easily pleased if you think he’s played “ half decent “. He has a crack but he’s just an awful awful footballer.

As for “ vitriol” have you ever been to the footy? Ever heard any banter or participated in it at the footy? Or is maybe your footy interaction limited to Internet forums?

Did you intend to prove my point with this post?

Give it a rest.

Critique my comments as vitriolic and I’ll stand up for myself

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Can we talk about the fact that Kerridge takes a lot of short steps despite being a mature body?

 

[Dadda Dave]

He had 11 at half time and I praised him, then he does absolutely nothing for the rest of the game.

I'll give him until after the bye coming from a long way back.

Hopefully match fitness will fix him .

How good is it seeing Dow go shoulder to shoulder with men that have close to 10kg on him, such as Dangerfield, and at least halving the contest (sometimes winning it)?

Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

You can tell he is made of the right stuff. Pre/draft I remember one of the head recruiters likened him to Lenny Hayes and applauded his attitude, consistency to play at a high level and his willingness to put his head over the ball. The mental attitude/competitiveness of players is an absolute necessity to become great, the best just have more of it. Selwood, Dangerfield, Cripps, Franklin all have it in spades and I think Dow does too. A long way to go to reach those kind of levels but I really like what I see.

He made up for it with a few htb tackles.

Sorry I’ll try to remember to wear rose coloured glasses when watching footballers I don’t like playing for my team
