[640MD 3,082]

Ok it’s the premiership quarter go for it !!

Steven May has accidently swapped his contact lenses with someone else's. He doesn't seem to be able to see.

Dads army will fold in second half surly kozzie can step up 

[Bates Mate 4,049]

What a rubbish ground ball spends half the time out of bounds and you see more out on the full than any other ground. Should have been bulldozed years ago

[Fritta and Turner 3,886]

Need our lesser lights to get the ball....

Picket Bedford and Spargo are non existent 

Kozzys uncertainty on the far wing then trying some cute kick around the corner for another turnover.  Bloody awful.  I would rather gain 40 - 45 meters near the boundary and have the Cats win the 50 / 50 there.  Whose playbook is this rubbish?

Fritta just outside 50 decides he cant make it but then kicks it too close to the goal line to give anyone a chance to run on.  Also seermingly no signal to say "im going short here" ??

PLAY THE PERCENTAGES/BASICS if you cant make the distance or at least look for a short pass lateral to keep posession until someone makes an option!

[Deecisive 1,669]

a lot of players just not putting in not chasing, not tackling. We know they are going to run, but our players are not running with them.  we need our team to step up and put these [censored] down

Please get Viney off the ball he is getting caught every time he takes possession move him forward do something to change the mix  They are negating our strengths

Goodwin mix it up a bit please

 

Yep, these guys need to take the first option, not take on the tackler

That development end has worse lights than the Piiron Yallock cricket ground.

Inside 50 efficiency - them = 51.9%, us = 25.9%.

We need a proper forwards coach, instead of Stafford doubling up his duties.

Need proper entries. Not the forwards fault we've kicked to direct opponents 10 times

Last weekend we went to watch Myrtleford play,who kick nothing but low darts into forwards for goals,   our guys kick nothing but pie floaters to pockets for turnovers.

 

Which one is the afl and which is the o&m ffs

Yes yes and yes. It’s our obvious need. 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,070]

The comforting thing is that even though we've been sloppy, we're right in this, If we start hitting targets (we've been wayyy off, it's almost like there's a jumper clash!), we'll win this. They're playing at about their best, despite a couple of misses. If we come out breathing fire and nailing passes, we win.

Over usage

[Monocology 1,109]

Don't care if we lose this now. Love this club. 

PS - Lets all become fans that boo continually - even though our oppositions tackles never get rewarded & ours do......

It’s not the forward line, it’s the blokes kicking it to our forward line. 4 times the kick has gone inside 50 straight to a cats player 15m clear of any Melbourne player. Try kicking it to anyone in a red and blue jumper and at least it may get to ground

No,  they just head down one side of the ground forces all the players to go into a pack situation, we don't have that type of player, we need to open it up by as it comes in, bb is OK one on one not 6 on one. 

[Gawndy the Great 7,957]

Our midfield is just starting to warm up. I think we may look off but Geelong are throwing everything and taking a lot of risks by taking the corridor.

It could work for them but more likely to not.

8 possessions between Kozzie, Bedford and Spargo - unsustainable 

[640MD 3,082]

I think. Kossy, Spargo and even more do Bedford need to step up and run harder than in the first half.  BBb and frittata need to get on a bike as well,   Where does the Tour de France go tonight !!

[Bitter but optimistic 21,570]

Just tidy up and we'll win this easy

The crowd is too small for Petracca which is why he only has his 9 touches to half time.

 At least he is kicking goals

Why is Pickett anywhere in the team...wtf does he offer

May...get off and get some confidence

Sparrow is an overhyped player by many, he's not AFL level

Gawn, great to see u back

Nominated for game day post of the round.

[Deecisive 1,669]

poor delivery into our forward line, just booting without looking who to. need to lower their eyes and make sure they hit a target. it would also be nice if a couple of these players could move the ball on quicker. taking too much time to kick down the line gives geelong lots of time to flood back.

Maybe the next multibillion dollar taxpayer funded redevelopment will involve bulldozing the grandstands and making it an adult style width?

Mate the ball isn’t even hitting the pack, it’s hitting the one cats bloke standing by himself 20m away from the pack!
