Bartram - not the worst

Bennell - had no involvement

Bruce - good under pressure

Davey - prolific , not damaging

Frawley - lowered his colours

Garland - poor before injury

Green - our only winner

Grimes - needs a rest

Gysberts- most impressive debutant

Jamar - had no influence

Jetta - seemed totally intimidated

Jones - taught a lesson

MacDonald - tough and useful

McDonald - rarely near ball

Miller - couldn't repeat heroics

Moloney - needs a rest

Morton - little to commend

Rivers - game from hell

Sylvia - made no impression

Warnock - was not sighted

Watts - nothing to excite

Wonaeamirri - will be dropped

Chip was very very good on Johnson.

After he kicked 2 early in the game, Chip absolutely dominated him and gave us plenty of drive off the half back line.

Bartram did a great job on Burns too. He has really resurrected his career.

The rest of the backline had a bad day, although I think Grimes did a reasonable job down back, but wasn't able to give us any forward drive whatsoever.

Grimes - so he has a quiet day and needs to be rested - thats ridiculous. he is not 12 years old, allowed to have an off day.

Watts - Crucified by shocking coaching.

Bailey - No plan B.. shocking day in the box.

Agree and agree Chip and Bartram. Also thought, although not great, Wonna showed enough to keep him in.

So you think Bailey told him to play from behind on every single occasion.

I didn't. Thought he was very poor. With Scully, Trengove and Mckenzie to come back in, someone has to make way.

Not sure what wona showed. He was slow to read the game, waited for the Geelong player to get the ball then try to tackle. Agree with you Redleg!

Why would Grimes need a rest? He was ok today.

Moloney tries his guts out. Jamar was good. James Mc struggled, but i think he should be used off the bench. Hard to do it when he has been playing so well.

Would you make a better Coach, 'Demon 3'?

No he didn't! He was one of our few winners today

No, but i am sure a kid playing his 6th game might have liked to battled it out against one man and not 2!

Im sorry, i thought this was the place to share your thoughts about what happened today.

So no need to be a smart Ar$e about it, i just think he was comprehensively out coached and it was fairly obvious to most...

On reflection , and after watching the replay ,I concede that I was probably too harsh on Frawley .

.... here we go.

Dont give me "here we go".. im not calling for him to be sacked..

Dont be so precious. The coach..any coach should not escape scrutiny on a bad day, just like players.

Allowing a loose man in a Geelong defence is just a horrible mistake. they have a great defence as it is, why give them an extra leg up by allowing a roaming player to pick off any attack coming inside 50.

Both teams that played in Darwin last week had shockers today, let's not underestimate the toll the conditions took.

I will totally disregard that game today.

Frawley was our most influential defender.

McDonald & Moloney - Rarely near the ball and need a rest? Two of the BOG for us, 22 & 25 possessions respectively!

I don't agree with your comments entirely, but I do agree with your point about sharing your thoughts. Keep it going....

er ....?? Who's being precious? Thought this was "the place to share your thoughts".

Were you expecting everyone to agree with you?

Meanwhile, back on thread, my one-word player analysis for the whole 22: Tired.

i dont care who or who does not agree with me mate, certainly not you who clearly misread my post.

Moving on though.

Watts - play in front!

That's about all.

I can't deal with the "Macdonald was solid" "Grimes was slow" bollocks.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
