My 3 word player analysis V Geelong

And we lost by only 3 point with more scoring shots, more inside 50s, fewer clangers, more clearances, more hit outs, more contested possessions and more frees. Hate to think what would be said if we lost by double the margin.

And what if the last shot a goal had been a bit more to the right.  It's not the players, it's the lack of a coherent reliable system. Dock the pay of the coach until he works it out.

I couldn't agree more. Geelong came with a plan of keeping's off and it got them over the line. Goody always says that his team will play with a recognisable brand of footy focused on winning the contested ball. At the moment that brand resembles something from a Two Buck Shop.

Brayshaw : Team needs more minutes of him

Lever : Good  arm waver. Too big to be a rover/Too light to be big.=> in between

Petracca : Class considering tagged.

Harmes : Underutilised

Tomlinson/LAngford/ Hibberd : Stop Bombing

Viney / :  Get Ball / Disposal  ????

Oliver : Take game on !!!

Gawn : Shining light

Pickett/Rivers/Lochart : Give them time

Mc Donald : Lone big fwd very difficult spot

Fritsch : Suffered from poor delivery

I thought that Fritsch suffered more from an inability to mark the ball and not trying to widen the angle with his second kick on goal.........!!!!!!!!

This entire thread would have been completely different for starters.  That's how fickle this place can be sometimes. 

There is only one thing that matters I AFL winning. You don't win and you rapidly become an also ran, your club shrinks are no longer important the MFC is the perfect example.

I'm not convinced about that. We were woeful. A win would not have hidden that, just at didn't hide the last 2 quarters of the blues game.

100% we were woeful, as we were against the Blues. There certainly wasn't the same sort of venom in here after that win though.  

I guess I just find it interesting how much the narrative can change based on literally one kick.

We win yesterday and people would still be expressing disappointment at the way we are going (and rightfully so), but they'd also be talking about some of the better aspects such as us managing to find a way to win despite playing so poorly and being controlled for most of the game. 

And the overall tone of the "3 word analysis" would be very different too - which was my initial point. Look no further than the one after the Carlton game, despite playing not much better.

Joeboy spot on - only better said by George on the outer who was 100% correct - neither side wanted to win we wanted to win less and clearly the coach has no idea how to do just that !!

Gawn - out-muscled by Fort

Viney - lack of sleep

Oliver - avoiding bumping opposition

Petracca - lacked recent energy

Tomlinson - defensive side stoppages

Brayshaw - still got it

Langdon - the defences friend

Salem - switch with melksham?

Harmes - working out role

Hibberd - good first half

Melksham - move down back

Hannan - a good hitout

Rivers - still did ok

May - steady and reliable 

Fritsch - lack of physicality

McDonald - found some energy

Lockhart - needs some composure

Lever - struggled with judgement

Hunt - press too restricting

Pickett - good little player

Smith - handy size speed

VandenBerg - toughness been missed
