GAMEDAY - Round 1

Defensive transition. They are waltzing it up the field every time they get it. Also, when Cam Guthrie can go from the centre bounce breaking tackles and kicking goals you know you are battling. Need to fix that if we are any chance to get back into.

Roos half time summary says it all. 

Geelong not playing well but our defence and movement is letting them find all the holes. One team playing other is a rabble. 

Give Goodwin the tape for us not to be embarrassed by the Lions next week.

This is like watching a bunch of ten year olds. They all run to where the ball is, get in each other's way, kick into each other and then when one of them randomly finds themselves free with the ball they kick it as hard as they can towards the goals.

Meanwhile we gave up two first round picks for a guy who built his reputation by never having an opponent and promptly put him in a situation where he always has an opponent. We left out two quality users in favour of a spare inside ball-winner and the inexplicable Wagner, and the umpires are all wearing blue and white undies.

We’ll get back in this game, turning point was Wagner’s overzealous late spoil. Prior to that we were getting the bum steer from the umps but no excuses for how we played. Trac and Ollie look good. Get Hogan in the guts.

Was Lewis even on the ground then?

We have no pace and spread. 

They have 55 more uncontested possessions and they use them to leave us flat footed and score.  

They have scored 20 times from 24 entries and us 13 from 30. 

Who are our running players. 

unsurprising. we haven't played the mcg well since goodwin started. his coaching is now firmly under the microscope.

We were a decent defensive team under Roos but have regressed on that front under Goodwin. Lever can [censored] off back to Adelaide he’s as much use as [censored] on a boar

Don’t forget TMac as well

Yeah and imagine if Henderson was playing for the Cats. 

There are no excuses. We should be in this game and we are not. 

No matter how many disappointment this club faces, they don’t seem to learn. Goodwin has a lot of answer for. Poor selection and awful match day coaching. Either we are serious about winning or we are trying to develop NQRs like Wagner and Maynard and Hannan?!

You're joking?

geelong has been at 80% efficiency going forward the whole game. literally all they had to do was steady defensively and they'd establish the lead.

yeah we'll come back, kick 5 or 6 in a row, but we're still going to lose. This game may well as be round 14 2017. We play exactly the same time of football. 

Geelong is simply too efficienct around the ground. there's no way the cats lose from here.

this is more whether geelong is the type of team that loses from here, rather than if we have what it takes to win.

Geelong does not lose games from here.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
