Goodwin pointed out (rightly imo opinion) that we were a much better defensive effort over the second half.   So I thought I'd have a look at last years second halves of games by Geelong and how many goals they scored....  It goes like this:

7, 10, 11, 15, 11, 6, 8, 10, 8, 5, 4, 8, 6, 4, 10, 7, 6, 9, 3, 3, 4, 9

The lowest for the year were 3 against Sydney who were on fire and Richmond on the march at the end of the year

They scored 4 against Adelaide (x2), GWS, and Collingwood

In those games they STILL went 3 wins, 2 losses and a draw!

In the finals it went like this:

3 (loss to Richmond), 6 (beat Sydney), 5 ( loss to Adelaide)

WE ONLY CONCEDED 2 GOALS TO A TOP 4 POSSIBLY TOP 2 TEAM IN THE SECOND HALF!!

Maybe we were a bit rusty.   It's not all doom and gloom.   We can be a very good defensive side.   Stick with them!!

Just need that defense over 4 quarters if that happened they wouldn’t have got near us, I wonder what was said at half time to turn it around
