That Bedford fumble. Little moments matter so much in games like this.

That was the turning point.

Second on the ladder now too.

Such a predictable garbage ball movement from the half back. Kick long to a pack. Nobody marks. Geelong runs away with it. It’s pathetic. 
These old [censored] have made us look so second rate tonight

How many down field frees has Kozzie given for the season

How many pressure acts by Kozzie have seen kicks smothered or skewed this season?

[Lord Travis 10,793]

Top spot gone after that goal. With Blues, Freo, Lions and Pies to come, it’s going to be tough to finish top two.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,084]

Gonna lose top spot on percentage now too…

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

I've never seen the ball bounce in favour of the opposition so much. All the 50-50's go there way. Deflating.

[monoccular 17,648]

4 goals down, 4 ½ minutes to play - yes, possibly, but extremely unlikely.   Has Clarry been subbed?

Answer my own question - no

20 points.   Maybe.  Bridge too far at this time in the 4th

Gawn came back way too early. Hurt us tonight. 
Been uncompetitive. 

Never seemed like a good idea 

[dees189227 12,453]

Just lost top spot

[Demon Dynasty 17,133]

Why do Melb insist on gathering the ball off the ground when under severe pressure when a knock on or quick slap forward might allow your players to run onto it and clear congestion.

This is most likely our worst all round performance this season IMV given the ins.

Feels like the bulldogs game last year at a similar time. Looked heavy, fumbly, got close but ran out of legs.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Here come the +6 goals.

[P-man 13,366]

Oh well. To the post match thread!

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,477]

Gawn 0 marks doesn’t help. This is Geelong’s best, we can take them come September.

[DeeZee 7,445]

Lost the contest all night , that’s been the main difference.

Fumbles and poor forward entries just the icing on the very bitter cake really.

[monoccular 17,648]

Dumb and dumber there.  Now % taking a big hit too

[rolling fog 1,208]

Done.

It was certainly there for the taking.

[Lord Nev 13,512]

Gus terrible tonight.

Get him back to the wing, Jordon out, Rivers in.

 

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Too short on the forward line tonight. Looks like dropping both talls has backfired.

We are not as good as last year. It’s going to be almost impossible to win.

Awful technique.  Tried to guide it through instead of running in a straight angle and letting the curl of the ball off the boot do the work

there must have been a wave of illness go through Melbourne this week
