POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs Geelong

[Little Richard 6,265]

Four and Oh, soak it up!!!

My standout points for the game:

• Jake Lever is a legend. BOG by far, stood up when May went down and his leadership was absolutely exceptional. Without him there, likely we'd have crumbled and lost.
• The improvement of lower tier players like Hunt and Neal-Bullen is having a huge impact on how well we are playing. Credit to those guys to finding some great form and credit to Williams (I expect) for his impact in that regard.
• Great that the umpires are finally penalising the throwing in congestion, good to see.
• If we hadn't dropped all those marks and kicked for goal terribly we'd have won by about 50 goals, no doubt.

Usually there are a few saying the umpires weren’t bad, but how about now?

[P-man 13,366]

They tried their best to duck and elbow their way to a win but class won out. 4 zip baby!

[DSP 1,488]

Best win by the club since the 2018 semi final.

Loved the intensity and the repeat ferocious tackles throughout the whole game. 

Completely agree, the intensity was evident since first bounce and never let up. 

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Jack Viney 24 touches and 12 tackles.. was great last week too..  hes back.

All I want now is May to be ok , a pizza , a bourban and a chance to call my brother in law and gloat that his cats are cooked.

Not good at all. 
 

Who is Majak Daw for 500.

[Deeoldfart 8,082]

Lever’s LEADERSHIP!

[Steno 200]

Jake Lever proved his value with “that” display of leadership after the Brayshaw free. 

There is absolutely zero doubt to even to the most ardent that we got the trade right!

Is it too early to sleep out for GF seats in the MCC??

Terrible for both teams in my opinion but I did feel like Geelong had some lucky frees that lead to goals which impacted the game more. That umpire with the booming deep voice was the worst. 

Very difficult game to umpire and the view they have is radically different to the one (or multiple) views we get.

Yep. If he is good to go, bring him in.

Yep. Politely asked the ump what the free was for, no arguing, just reminding his teammates to keep their cool. It was great stuff.

[adonski 12,584]

Spargo another great game. Hunt even better than last week (safer with ball in hand today).

[4_Kent_Watts 895]

I've now lost 4 bets in a row. I'm hoping it continues next week. Go Dees Go. 

[Chook 15,022]

Sucks to lose May, probably for a fair while. I think we can still go OK though based on today's performance.

[Return to Glory 8,448]

Incredibly satisfying .

 

Am I alone in thinking Hawkin's elbow wasn't accidental?

[BigFez 1,462]

Are Geelong now considered bad enough for people to continue saying "but the Demons haven't beaten anybody yet"?
