Who is playing tomorrow that you think will run out of gas?  Essendon?  North?  Dogs?  

Sorry my mistake. Sunday

Holidays in Thailand ruin my perception of time!!

We of all supporters should understand that being a crud team doesn't mean playing poorly for every minute of the game.  How often over the years have we played okay for most of the game but lost - sometimes badly - because of a terrible 10-15 minute lapse?

They're on top again in the last quarter.

I love Titus.  I thought his style of one-liners would get tedious after a while, but after months, it just hasn't.  

Read it waiting for the humour and it eluded me.

Freo with 2 days less break than us coming back from Darwin

This is the kind of charity Geelong are served up on a weekly basis by the AFL

Lachie Henderson would have to be the most overrated pick up plain soft

LOL

You still watching deefella?? This will go down as one of the most poorly timed posts of all time.

Can someone with IT ability load the replay of said soft player running into an oncoming pack and being KO`d. As brave an effort as you will ever see.

Says more about the Cats

Will they get another "Soft" Top 4 spot again?

If they scrape home they will be 3rd tonight!!

I didn't realise how slow Mundy was until I watched tonight's game. Is Enright one of the biggest knobs playing the game?

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Enright showing he's about as tough as that fl0g of an ex-teamate Wojincski throwing stiff arms into the back of Sutcliffe's head.

[daisycutter 28,684]

cats defence (or lack of a wanchors forward line) won it for them

[Radar Detector 1,339]

Geelong look way off contender pace to me. Far too reliant on Dangerfield. One injury away from being a non-finals standard side imo.

[The heart beats true 16,483]

Geelong looked terrible tonight. No system, no forward line. You take the free agent out and they'd have gone down to the 16th team on the ladder. I don't see success for them long term. None of their younger players are coming on, and they've had a fair few seasons to get games into them.

And their coach is a d*ck.

...and the boundary ump tonight.

Some amazing decisions on the boundary and by the umpiring sub committee tonight.

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Geelong are like the Judd era Carlton. 

 

Freo ran the last quarter out fine. Just couldn't score. 

No excuses for us on Sunday.

Hope you are right. I want Roos to  coach at least 23 games this year

lactic Acid kicks in...

 

Fact or Myth

"Lactic acid. Most athletes see it as a villain, the cause of muscle fatigue, burn and delayed onset muscle soreness (aka DOMS). We’ve been led to believe it’s a waste product we need to “flush from our systems” with a massage or resting with our legs propped up on a wall.

But the latest research suggests that our bodies don’t, in fact, produce a substance called lactic acid when we exercise. Turns out, lactic acid — at least as we thought we knew it — is mostly just myth. Instead, our bodies actually create something called lactate — and we produce it not just when we exercise, but all the time. Furthermore, lactate is good for us, not bad! Has it been misunderstood all these years? Read on for the truth behind the burn."

 

Plenty of articles on recent research on this issue, but the quote above came from this:

This is really just semantics. Lactate, lactic acid, it's all just referring to byproducts of anaerobic metabolism. Lactate is not 'good for us', it's a marker of anaerobic metabolism - and byproducts of anaerobic metabolism cause fatigue and DOMS. And just on a side note, as someone who works in health care, we do all have lactate in our bodies, but you do not want a high lactate. Not a good sign!

As the year goes on Geelong increasingly strike me as over-dependent on Dangerfield and Selwood.

Ho-hum forward line and a lot of average-to-poor midfielders masked by Dangerfield and Selwood's brilliance.

At the Richmond vs Essendon game with a Tigers supporting mate. Richmond look seriously ordinary. First three goals to the Bummers.

I was saying all week that this is the best chance Essendon have at another win. I rate the Saints far higher than Richmond when in-form, and the Bombers almost pipped them last week.

It would be glorious to see the Tigers twist that knife just a little deeper into supporters' hearts by losing to the Druggies.

I see a time, far into the distance, where you don't need to mention this each week. What a time that will be.  We get it big fella.
