Obviously a thoroughly disappointing result but a few things which standout.
- Geelong kicked 13 goals from turnovers. Now the turnovers could be due to adapting to a new style of ball movement but either way - if we can close this down than we cut of over half of Geelong's score.
- McCarthy will get better each week and the forward group gel together over time, hopefully just soon!
That said, we've got a lot to improve on and some players need to go back to Peel.
Turnovers were particularly high in the first half because Geelong went toe to toe with us, pushed their defenders up and aggressively closed down passing lanes and cut down our defenders time on the ball, gambling that we didn't have the skill to pick our way through their press. The players we have distributing the ball out for D50 aren't good enough at theirs jobs under zero pressure let alone under the high press Geelong put on in the first half. Old news story but it keeps happening.
