We've been riding for a fall by not having a decent back up for Max, and I don't mean an automatic Spencer inclusion. Pederson is the one who is being shafted by our passion for owning 'the youngest 22' tag. Not only is he a better ruckman than Jack, he is a better key forward than Weiderman (at this stage). I am particularly disappointed in Weiderman. He has been given an opportunity, and 'belief' by the coaching panel, but he hasn't grabbed it with both (even one!) hand. First gamer, Smith, was better than him today. 5 good touches in three games is not enough!

Fair call. Pederson is a strong utility player.  The S. panel were asking a lot of forward line in newbie smith and underdone wied as well as kent playing his first game for the year. Shame the other smith is injured. What with suspensions and injuries its taking a shine of a great start.

Memo to defence coach.

When playing a team with renown strong marking fwds. Berate any nong that 'continually' plays from behind.

If YOU haven't tried to amend that during game...bogger off.

The improvement was obvious.

Regrettably some 'regression' just as apparent.

Still...sky aint falling (anymore )

Unacceptable on both ends of the ground today. Obviously shots for goal cost us, but every time Geelong got it in their 50 it was far to easy to score. Weideman and Oscar need a rest.

yes we kicked straight we would have won , sadly we didn't, but we didn't give up either

Hamstring strain.  Goodwin said in his presser it will probably be a 4 week injury.

still mightily disappointed.

Goal practice for sure this week.

But i loved the effort of the team. The only reason they were able to run over the top of us was because of Max going down rather early. If we put in that effort and workrate every week, you can't ask for too much more.

I don't commonly comment on the umpires. We obviously didn't get the rub today. But that Jones 'advantage' and holding the ball seriously hurt at the start of the final qtr. in quelling any potential momentum.

Apart from the embarrassing goal kicking. Too many passengers, Tyson (so overrated) Weideman, Hannan... We missed that even team effort, without Gawn as well it was like being 4 players down.

Weideman probably needs to go back and spend some more time at Casey. Can't really get near it and especially with Hogan and Gawn out can't afford to carry him up forward.

Might be good for oscars development to play up forward next week and give frost a go down back

Left wanting to drop someone on the ramps (soft tap to cheek, open hand).

Very proud of our fledglings against the odds & how Goody had set us up.

Heads high.

The improvement of ANB has been a very pleasant surprise (that backwards kick was unfortunate though)

Someone posted what could go wrong did and he was spot on.  

Cats kicked at least 6 out of their arse and umpires and our poor disposal probably gave them another 8. Gawn off before half time and our side was reshuffled and obvious tiring of players had to happen and it did, half way through the last quarter.  

Our new forwards in Weed, Smith and Hannan had no impact. Hogan and Lewis out didn't help.

Of course the worst thing was missing 11 fairly regulation set shots.

Despite all that the commentators felt we should have won easily. 

Strange day indeed.

The Weed really needed to step up today with Hogan out and his very low stats of a couple of kicks a mark and two handballs ain't cutting it just yet.

Can we start to question Vince's place in the team too? As I've said before, he won't be best 22 by the end of 2017 if his form continues.

It's a strange feeling. I almost feel like we won. We dominated the majority of the game. I don't think I've been so positive about a 5 goal loss ever. I'll back us to learn from this. We'll have these sorts of losses this year and we knew we would, but now we know our game style holds up.

Despite our really poor defensive effort today and losing the clearances after Gawn went off, we still managed to get ourselves in front by 15 points at the end of the third.

I hope we've planned for a lack of Gawn at some stage and against Sandilands, we may have to concede the tap and rove off him. It'll be a great test for our young midfield. Looking forward to seeing how Spencer goes too.

    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
