Tom McDonald needs to stop worrying about lockdowns, protests and being an anti-vaxer

Max shepherded out of the ruck - no free.

13 - 8 plus so many not paid

Clear narrative from HQ. Just like the Lions game.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,717]

No need to chase this its gone, regardless we were playing in Adelaide only it will be on Friday Night.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

2021 is hard enough without watching Melbourne embarrass themselves and fall apart like a cheap suit a week from finals. 

[gs77 4,453]

terrible.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Tom Mc Donald should be dropped for Melksham on that first half performance.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Definitely our bad quarter

Rowan the ultimate front runner

Compared the Fritsch?

That was a blessed quarter for Geelong. They won’t do that again. Had a little help early in the quarter and then momentum had some fun. We dropped our heads badly. We need to make a respectable game out of it now though

[OhMyDees 1,834]

We’re getting put in a spliff. 
Embarrassing with so much to play for 😩

Heading for straight sets. 
I’ve turned it off. I can’t watch this [censored]. 
 

[Lord Travis 10,763]

15 minute period has just ended our season. Yes we reload for finals, but with our current personal we cannot win a flag. Too much inexperience, and too much reliance on Oliver and Petracca. As soon as they’re not getting ball, our midfield disintegrates.

Port will beat us in Adelaide next week. Who knows what happens from there.

[censored] disappointing end to the season.

Counts for little tonight. I’m glad that Scott has shown his hand so we can work on how to defend against them in finals if needed
 

no injuries please

well beat Port next week

 

Their game plan is unchanged. Chip chip chip kick inside 50

 

You'd think that a game plan that has stayed the same for the last 10 years might actually be defended by us

So many pessimistic loser posts.

It doesn't take much for anger and hatred to arise in football.

[monoccular 17,607]

Well this half will say a lot about the team and their belief.

[Nascent 9,299]

8 goals in a row in a single quarter. That is 2012 woeful.

[KLV 1,768]

Well that was the worst 30 minutes of my week

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,522]

Just had to step out for a halfa, what did I miss??

 

 

[Garbo 1,550]

Need to just walk this one out and start preparing for next week, no point risking anything more on a lost cause. No point dwelling on this anymore cats just were on fire for 10 minutes. Won’t do it again if we play at some point and won’t be at gmhba

A shellacking will be no good for confidence heading into finals

At the moment its an all round chitshow. We need some respectability from this game. Max, Trac, Clarry need to lead the way and defenders need to introduce themselves to each other. 

Come on Dees ffs. Wake up

Appreciate the hope.

Just sad to see some blokes tonight as passengers.

This was a chance to finish on top but sadly we dont want it enough.

Our touted backline looks like a rabble.

The lack of clearances in the middle is scary.

We look like like a team thinking about the end of year os trip.

Is that a Hocking reference? Or eyes on Tv reference?

Mainly TV but a bit of Hocking.

[Webber 10,563]

One word. Uncompetitive when the finals heat comes on, and this IS a final. So much promise, so much hope, and bang. 7 goals in 10 minutes. That’s not just a fraudulent defence, that’s a contested embarrassment. In all honesty, who here thinks we can win the flag? And how?
