I really am amazed at the bs negativity aimed at our club today. We're seriously not that bad, yet apparently "watching our club is like being kicked in the guts repetedly." Nick off if you think that.

Maybe it is Peter Sellers... "I like to watch" (Being There)

For Geelong

"The Party".

2 gifted cats goals that half....

For Geelong

"The Party".

Birdy num num!

I want to see Sellars get suspended for knocking out Jpod .Either way he wont be there next week at this rate .

The umpiring is a disgrace.

Enright clearly thows the ball in front of Ump 33 who ignores the one armed throw - moments later Sylvia taps the ball on and is penalised for throwing by Ump 33!

And that free to Podsiadley on half time. FCS when do we get a fair go!

And there was a soft one to Bartel.

Where's our cheap 25 metres out directly in front gift?

Losing is one thing - getting a fair go something else.

We got smashed early and were lucky not to be down by more. But the guys actually dug in a bit, mean the cats are beating us in most things but some efforts from Jones, Davey, and in particular Clark gave us some good opportunities which we made the most of.

Random thing, Malthouses special comments are some of the best I've heard. He is making some really good points about how the game is going.

What did that @@#@#@#$##@!# umpire see? That is one of the wrst decisions in the history of the game. Try telling me he isn't on the take!!!!!!

Not on the take - just home town shite by amateur umpiring in a professional competition

Lasck of intensity, lack of leadership, lack of run, lack of common sense. It's windy, when you kick in to it, GET THE FCUK IN FRONT.

How can you dismiss the effort as "not playing well" Except for that stupidity from a person who is supposedly the best we can get to adjudicae, we would be 22 points down to a team that beat as by you know what!!!!! We have the breeze this qtr... I expect the margin to dissolve!!!

Fair enough to get upset over some of the decisions, but take off the blinkers please... that Sylvia "tap" as you put it was actually a scooping action... in other words, a throw!!

I have only seen brief glimpses. Two bloody ordinary frees for gift goals to the home side - Bartel v Jordie and far wise the Pods one on the siren, when the commentariat thought Clark delved the free. Morale sapping.

It's a great analogy. You get a reprieve and think "yay it's over", then again.

If you think we are not that bad you are kidding yourself. We are lucky Geelong can't convert. Minus 60 in uncontested possessions and it's only half time!

Just because we are not 100 points down doesn't mean it's happy days. Trying hard is not good enough, it's a bloody given.

I appreciate that we are not lying down and giving up, but our skills and decision making is just woeful. I doubt Mark Neeld is in there praising them.

Was that kick for goal ???

Dunno what it was.

He must have felt like satnding in front of a firing line last year.

I disagree that we're playing ok. I feel like we're dropping our heads and you can't do that with Geelong or you lose by 100 points. We've dropped off last week's good effort. Jones and Clark obviously excepted. Jamar wins the ruck and we never clear it. Depressing.

Why has are best forward been put behind the ball to play as a loose man?

Some of those possessions have been cheap, but I agree with what you're saying - you can't zone against the Cats, it's man-on-man.

Sellar two possessions each in first half.

And one of those two was...well...ummm....we'll call it a centering kick with no one in front of him when he was running into an open goal.

You've gotta give it to Geelong, their backline is fantastic.

Not just their backline ...

Sylvia 7 possessions at 29% til half time. Wow.

Sellar 2 possessions

We look like we are playing not to cop a pounding, rather than with any actual belief we can win like last week.

Also, I have thought this for a number of years, but no team gets away with more incorrect disposals than the Cats. They are constantly throwing and dropping the ball without being whistled.

Nor would I be praising them. I certainly wouldn't be slashing my wrists and listening to Death Metal just yet though.

Loving the half time footage of Jack Viney having a go at Wojcinski... he won't take a backward step.

Also, looks almost like Clark has become a "de facto" captain... he was standing there hand-slapping his team mates as they exited the rooms and giving each player words of encouragement.
