Johnson should be cited for that knee. Dirt bag.

I think I've overestimated Kent's ability.

He should be developing at Casey. dont judge him too hard.

Toumpas seems to be finding the ball alright

Lazy. Gutless. No effort.

No what we've seen so far under Craig, so what the hell is going on today?

Playing Geelong?

Nothing untoward said Fat Eddie, to Johnsons knee to Jones' head. Wet weather footy he said........Unbelievable.

still only 5 goals, we are a bit lucky

I don't get all the talk about our lack of skills... the team hasn't really changed over the past 15 weeks.

Only the effort can change, and it has. I think they are at least having a crack, but are totally outskilled by the #1 team in the competition, and there isn't a whole lot we can do about it.

I think Toumpas is having one of his better games 12 disposals,5 tackles and very nearly a nice front and centre goal 48sc. Makes the right decisions.

We new we would be out skilled, you cant have Nicholson, kent, m.jones, dunn getting kicks in the midfield and be successful.

Im just glad every smartarse thing stevyj has tried to pull off hasn't worked today.

Remember, nobody wins down here for a reason.

To say our boys aren't trying is naive at best and malicious at worst.

Too many stupid kicks and handballs in wet weather!! No brains!!! Dumb dumb footballers ! Very disappointed

Some of our tackles still look like hugs.

That and we don't try and brush off a tackle like the cats. We just go and fall to ground.

Wet weather footy shows up how much guts you have, and right now we look like we have less than Kate Moss.

The opposition can make the effort look bad.

Have to respectfully disagree there Nash. They can make the skills, organization, and game plan look bad, but effort should be noticeable regardless.

Still getting paid to get a kick at the highest level of our national game. They just do not work hard enough.

Effort is not something this list is known for. Just cast your eyes over the past 6 years and there lies the truth!

You watching the game mate? Have you noticed the weak tackling and lack of run, even compared to the last couple of weeks? We look like we're playing under the weight of 186 today. Dispirited and gutless.

I still reckon the boys have another gear of hardness to tap into. They just don't go hell for leather, and wet weather footy against Geelong shows that as clear as crystal.

I'm not unhappy with our effort at the contest but our decisions with the ball (ie we are to show and need to take the first option) and our lack of "spread" into space to provide those options is the big problem.

Geelong luck to contests only when going forward, to the 50 out deep. We kick to contests directly or of the back line.

I don't care if we don't get the ball past half way but we need to get chains of disposals happening. 3 4 or 5, even if all are short and sideways, just get ball in hand.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
