Review The Dumb, the Soft and the Ugly vs Geelong

[Rotayjay]

Premature? Perhaps, but let's be real. We know the routine.

Particular note re Hartigan - this is why his re-signing didn't excite me in the slightest. Harto gifts easy goals to the opposition all the time. It's got to stop.

Pyke - I don't know what you're trying to do Don. You've had at least three chances to counter this game plan. What response do you have?

Campo - please leave. Our midfield defensive structures are ineffective. When we play good opposition they waltz into goal.

I will happily wear the egg on my face if we win.

3 games at home before the bye - you guys should ask for that privilege next year.

Premature?

No, it's half an hour late.

I think the people who have been bagging Port need to have a look at themselves.

We are downhill skiers.

What a ****ing surprise.

So many front runners; Smith the worst of all.

 

[Moonwatcher]

If you had to choose between the Crows or Port to play Geelong for your life, which would you choose?

 

[King Elvis]

Meh, **** this.

I've had enough of this pissweak Groundhog Day club.

Absolutely pathetic.

 

[fairfooty]

While we've been putrid this has been really ugly football. Games like this damage the game.

 

[hippyhippy]

Same shit in geelong every time ...

Selwood ducking
Everyone playing like mackay
Quick kick forward getting picked off every 2 minutes...
Geelong will end pykes coaching career...

 

[Moonwatcher]

We really need a Dangerfield type and someone with the talent of say a Tex Walker.

Ling mentioning at least 3 or 4 times.. 'good players like .. mackay'... ffs

 

[Vhaluus]

I am so ****ing depressed right now

 

[BunjiMac]

No suprises here. Exactly what I thought would happen.

Its exactly the same game as last year. ..

Really hope they realise that real change is needed now

We have lost so much talent, it was always going to be whether we could win a few playing an unaccountable brand of footy.

You can't tell me you're surprised by this effort.

There was nothing more certain than an effort like this except perhaps the sun coming up tomorrow.

Groundhog Day says it all.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Really hope they realise that real change is needed now

The entire future of our club depends on this

 

[Elite Crow]

What a ******* surprise.

Not Atkins?

No, no, that's good. Talk him up, try and generate some interest from other clubs.

Even more mind-blowing than our players' efforts tonight was the coaching and strategy, both going in to the match and on the night.

We made no discernable change to ANYTHING we've done in our last 5 encounters against Geelong.

Poor method at the contest.
No hard tag on Selwood or Dangerfield.
NOTHING done to release Smith or Laird. NOTHING!
Poor tackling technique.
Leaders poor at the crunch.

A complete and utter disaster, borderline negligent preparation and unacceptable.

Oh and people here bag Port for being downhill skiiers. Well, our club has perfected it. Once again we've been found out, on the national stage. We're 8-3 with healthy percentage, yet we essentially know we don't have the cattle, grunt or game to win the 3 or 4 finals required to win the premiership. We'll go on our merry way and beat up on the lower teams, win enough for a half decent position, as we do. Then come finals, this is what we will dish up.

It is blatantly obvious.

To be fair to Mackay, when you get SMASHED in contested football. It makes it impossible for him to play well.

 

[sgPanther]

There is some good from it. It was so predictable we'd lose that it was a gimme tip.

 

[Scorpus]

Taylor Walker has had a disgusting month of football. Not a captain's scrotum right now.
