Degoey does it as well, seldom criticised because he’s further out the ground.I want to give some credit to Johnny F*cking Noble. I thought he was excellent.
You just have to accept the 1 or 2 complete blunders he'll deliver each game. He more than makes up for it the majority of the time.
They've got 47 key forwards surely one of them can go back. Young Darcy should be the oneThe Dogs play Bruce as a key back, yet go and get Lobb, and not a key back like Logue.
Even Madgen would've been better for them then Lobb, and cheaper.
Makes sense really. Last years premiers playing this years premiers..I don't know if it's just me but our game had way higher intensity and skill level compared to the other games I've watched this weekend we just looked so clean compared to anyone really
Ridiculous how old mate duped so many people in here with his phony gracious in defeat attitude.Yes my post was tongue in cheek, because when I say that Cats fans back on your board were claiming everything went wrong, not one of them appeared to mention 16.1, the nonsensically favourable umpiring you received, or Howe’s injury. So thankyou for clarifying that point.
In reality, only one thing went wrong for you and that is a nasty run of injuries. Tom Stewart is possibly your most important player, and certainly more crucial to your fortunes than Howe is to ours. SDK also missed a quarter or so and wasn’t fully fit when back on. Stengle came off running flat footed there for a bit. Hawkins I didn’t notice so much, he was certainly fit enough to shove Howe in the back as he likes to do and get away with it resulting in another dubious goal, so he can go and eat a giant bag of dicks.
That spate of injuries does give me pause, and definitely had an impact on the outcome. But when I see your fans whinging that “nothing went your way”, well I can’t help but think that denial ain’t just a river in Egypt, because you were lucky to get within 8 goals of us last night on balance. Howe’s long-term injury did offset some of your bad injury luck, you’ll never kick straighter than that in your life, you were out-and-out gifted several goals by the umpires (and Noble in the first 90 seconds of the game) and you still got beaten.
I don’t expect you to be fair and balanced on your own board, but if you’re going to call me out on mine, at least have the decency to be honest about the tone of the conversation you’re misrepresenting.
You’re a great judge too. I’m sure you’re rightStill has me shaking my head at times, still think one of 2-3 players out of the side with better players available
Just watching the replay as I was there last night and was quite pissed after sinking one too many beers at Range in Abbotsford beforehand...
And gee we just should not have gotten 21 points down in the first quarter after being all over them. 2 or 3 times already we've gone one handball too many which the commentators quite rightly pointed out.
Think we've got a lot of improvement in us between now and (hopefully) finals.

It was an amazing win in the end, but that first half was unbelievably frustrating to watch.How would you feel if the game ended at three quarter time and we had lost? How would the game have turned out if they had 3 fit players on the bench rather than 1.
We were messy and inefficient for the first three quarters. Gave away the easiest goals way too often. The boys stuck at it, never gave up and I feel we were pulled over the line due to Geelong fatigue and some individual brilliance. Our structure and execution was off. But like I said somewhat normal for round 1, and we celebrate the win.
The club will be looking at it more from the perspective of what they need to improve is what I was getting at.

The off-season has done good things for Mihocek. He looked like he was back to his hard-hitting sharp best.
I think it’s fair to say, we as supporters were flat after the injury, (I know I was).For me perhaps the most impressive thing last night was that our 8 goals to nothing run came after the Howe injury. It isn’t uncommon when teams have such a gruesome injury (though I am hoping it’s not as bad as it looked) that they get distracted and can play a little flat for a while. And you could hear it in Darcy’s interview after the match that the team had been emotionally effected by it.
Agree wholeheartedly.So for them to be able to set that aside and stay in the moment for the second half was really impressive.
you will be sorely disappointed, he is first choice in the 23, selectors prove that, with his speed, run and carry and second efforts..Still has me shaking my head at times, still think one of 2-3 players out of the side with better players available
Bump.Question, it's on the tip of my tongue, but who is your runner? Annoys me how much they show the coaches on the footage these days and now it's worse because I know the face but I can't think of his name!
All the best for the season.
It was Geelong's home game, hence wearing our away black-based jumper (KFC front sponsor)Did we play in our 2022 guernsey last night? Isn't Fly Emirates (new design) meant to be where KFC was last night?
