It's not hard to be outclassed when you don't show up to play in the first place. It's especially disappointing when we'd won our last 2 games, and looked to be in reasonable form heading into the match. It means there is no excuse for our poor performance today, even Mark Thompson had no idea.

Yeah. Sorry mate I had to put this one in okay. You should have listened to me again .

Bad luck Geelong. That was the worst you've played all year.

I guess if we're going to lose a game to the Bulldogs, it's better that it's a game which doesn't count for much as yesterday's was.

Every game we play in "doesn't count for much".

How f*cking typical. As I recall in Round one, when we were also too good for Geelong, the supporters gave no credit to the Bulldogs, and instead, blamed their own team for a poor performance. It’s just rubbish, guys. Every time you run out on the oval, you play to win, no matter what. AFL players are payed to perform, and the only thing it can come down to is how the opposition performed. Of course, you can play poor, but it’s very unlikely that Geelong was sent out to lose.

I was very impressed by the performance of Brett Moloney (#32). His running goal in the third term was very impressive. I think Geelong has picked up a decent player, who looks the goods.

I told you Geelong supporters that Johnson and Smith will be too good, as they always are against Geelong. Thing is, if King had have played, I believe you guys would have won, because it was the performance of Luke Darcy that almost single handily won us the game. Therefore, if Geelong had have won, the supporters would have praised the performance and said that Geelong thoroughly deserved the win.

I don’t care anymore, anyway. The Bulldogs are not the worst team in the competition, so why the f*ck are you guys embarrassed of the loss? Disappointed is fair enough, but embarrassed? I think you guys choose to use the wrong words. And if you really were embarrassed, maybe you should reconsider how unfortunate the Bulldogs have been this year (and last year), with several results not going our way.

All I heard leading up to the week was: “Ben Graham will be too strong and too tall”, “Chris Grant isn’t playing and you won’t be able to cover him”. It shows when you don’t rate a side (like the Bulldogs), a loss will be very surprising, when to me, it was hardly surprising.

I have had to put up with our losses on more occasions than the opposition, and even though our performances against Fremantle and Hawthorn were absolute shockers, not once did we enter the ground to come to lose, and not once was I embarrassed with our performance. Disappointed, yes. Embarrassed, no.

I rest my case.

Take your childish rantings back to the Doggies board.

From a Geelong point of view, this was probably the most pleasing aspect of yesterday's game. Brent Moloney showed that he was prepared to put his body on the line to win the contested ball, he ran hard and was creative when on the ground, and was able to finish with a very classy goal.

Our boys seemed very lacklustre yesterday not appearing to want to run hard to contests etc although the skill levels not quite as bad as against the Bombers. They can't seem to get a constant quick flowing mind-hand-foot coordination thing going.
The Bullies for the majority of the game seemed too fast and too accurate.

Xie, this is the Geelong board, here the world revolves around Geelong. Of course we are going to go on about how we could have done better. If we are going to congratulate the Bullies, we'll do it on the Bulldogs board.

Now go back to your kennel.

I agree with everything you said there Xie.
