The Something

The fact that I was at work and didn't suffer

Jordie McKenzie

The Bad

Everyone

How we were torn apart so ruthlessly

The coaching

The leadership

Every single thing about every single performance bar the above

The Ugly

Brad Green interview

Geelong 'people'

The Good: I don't have Foxtel so I didn't watch it.

The Bad: That JMac was the only player to remotely have a half-decent game.

The Ugly: EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS GAME

The Good:

Our best three players were all in the sub 50 game group.

The Bad:

Our best three players were all in the sub 50 game group.

The Ugly:

The whole damn day.

Thank God I wasn't able to watch the game. It was bad enough on the radio until I turned it off.

The Good:

It should bring matters to a head (club/staff/coaches/players).

Watts/McKenzie/Trengove at least trying to fly the flag

I can see myself having a bit more free time for the rest of the season

The Something

> The fact i was at work and i don't have foxtel anyway (thank Lucifer)

> Jordie for getting 25 possessions amongst the rabble and being mentioned a few times on radio as being in the mix (whilst getting smashed the other way by Selwood)

> Dunny Brush for kicking our 1 and only goal to half time and getting under Chappy's skin for some reason lol

> Watts for trying his guts out and getting 17 possessions

> Bate for showing something in the 3rd

The Bad

> The Senior players most of whom went AWOL

> Playing yet another team into 'super' form and playing Mooney into some sort of form after showing nothing in previous games this year.

The Ugly

> Whoever made the decision to select Bailey ahead of Sheedy 4 years ago and believed this was a good choice for our club overall.

> Zero Zilch Nil Nicht fight shown by any player when Dunny was getting hammered on the ground by Chappy.....a reflection of how soft this team is (Moloney excluded as he wasn't on the field at the time for some reason lol)

> The inability of Bailey to motivate this team whenever they're challenged (generally, not just in this game)

> The lack of a 'SHUT DOWN" plan C game plan (to limit the damage) when the opposition gets on a roll and is likely (should things continue) to take the game out of our hands and its about to get ugly.

> Green. A good player when things are going ok but a woeful leader of men when things aren't going quite so well

> Rivers, who is not up to AFL standard, even before yesterday's result. A point i've made on a few occasions prior to today.

> Chip for going missing when the going got tough

> The Jurrah experiment (which has now failed) and again, isn't up to AFL standard.

> The players (i would like to use the word team but they aren't a team at this point) for allowing itself to continue to play "Unaccountable" footy and believe that it's acceptable to do so

> The players for allowing themselves to play ameature football at various times throughout the year (including yesterday's humiliation obviously) in a professional league

> The fact that there's now no obvious 'willing' suitor to Bailey for next year

> The fact that the MFC will now (yet again) become the laughing stock of the AFL

> The impact this will have on aquiring a decent coach for the future and decent players during trade/draft time. Honestly, who would blame any player for shying away from this club after that result. GWS & GCS are looking pretty attractive versus us if that's the choice they have put to them after yesterday.

> The impact this could have on memberships/sponsors/finances/ tv fixtures for next year etc

> Given the context of where we were supposed to be, the blackest day in our clubs history (Norm Smith sacking aside).
