Jones was not the problem today. Goodwin had a shocker 

not the problem but the lapses for entire quarters also raise questions about leadership. 

Gawn - kick bloody straight!

Jones. Just bombs long.

Jones. Bad decision maker.

Turn over king that cant hit targets? 76% disposal efficiency, one of the highest on the ground.

No composure and just bombs long? Only 10 of his 29 disposals were Kicks, 6 of them were Inside 50's.

People will keep seeing what they want though.

7 turnovers. Team high each week.

Golly was pretty harsh but jones was poor yesterday, particularly in the second q.

He makes too many bad decisions, which often are not picked up in the stats.

A good example was his stupid decision to kick to hannan at the top of the goal square in the 2nd q from just outside 50.

.Bombs it to a two on one contest, which unsurprisingly hannan loses, and the ball gets swept out of our 50.

He had time and some space and made the wrong call. He should of kept on running, got inside 50, and had a shot at goal.

His kick to hannan was not a clanger or turmover and would have  contributed positively  to his DE stat. But it was a poor choice and resulted in a turnover and a wasted forward entry

So I'm assuming we lost by 10 goals?

If Geelong didn't have injuries during the game then I would say a 10 goal loss was possible.

They simply ran out of legs in the end.

Harry Taylor is good, but not 10 goals good.

Worse analysis ever Joe! Obviously watched the game on TV and wasn't sitting in the crowd looking at the entire MCG!

Well, its always amazing how we can watch the same game and conclude differently.

I was at the game and agree with JBs comments.

Selwood was limited after the Wagner tackle, Guthrie was proppy too.

The reduction in rotations hurt them a lot.

I thought our composure really let us down yesterday. Too many times players threw the ball on their boot in a panicked fashion. We gave our forwards zero chance. Until this improves we'll be making up the numbers.

Agreed TK. Looked to me that they were looking to go long too often...where as Geelong seemed well drilled about taking the short option to set up space. Goodwin complained about us not being able to lock the ball in our 50 but its pretty easy to defend a long ball to a two on one or even a three on two. Which results in not only a wasted entry but also an easy set up for a geelong forward thrust. Which they punished us with.  Im no football genius but being at the ground that much seemed really obvious, and, given that tactic is hardly new to football, I have to ask why goody allowed it to keep happening for the entire first half.

You need to also understand where he gets a lot of possessions. Players who play deep in the guts often get more turnovers because they are kicking under a lot of pressure.

Jones is not the best kick in the world, but he is more than adequate. He was pretty good all game, and definitely the least of our worries. 

i thought jones was fantastic in the 1st qtr kept the ball going forward and created scoring ops but seemed to fade away then was better in the last

Salem was severely limited after being tunneled by Selwood  was hardly sighted second half swings and roundabouts.

Gotta be kidding!

o--mac: weak and hopeless

harmes: tried hard, but limited

gawn: dominant, but no communication with mids

oliver & petracca: amazing (apart from the misses)

hunt: no good in tight

maynard: liked his aggression, but no footskills and not ready for afl

vince: played well

wagner: crappola early, got involved and got physical in second half. if he can do that all game, i can accept one or two miss-kicks

goodwin: coaching is a dynamic thing. adjust your strategy during a game bro

In my opinion Frost, Brayshaw and Tyson are best 22 without a doubt, for what ever reason they werent play well goody has to come out and explain why. Factor in Mcdonald and Viney thats 5 of our best 22 IMO not playing on Sun thats nearly a 1/4 of a side. Not excusing the performance it was terrible 1st half, 2nd better but far from our best especially 1.7 not going to win games with conversion like that. 

There is more to come from this side its round 1 ffs, im not throwing in the towel like many clowns on here are grow a set peoples.

Hibberd - looked disinterested  early

 

It crossed my mind over summer that there's no way Hibberd will replicate his amazing 2017 All Aust season.

Hopefully it was just an off game for him.

Ordinary imitation as well, if I may say so.
