We’ll win this.

What's happened to Kozzys dare and speed? Been very irrelevant for weeks now.

Observations:

- they’re taking almost every contested mark, which means we can’t retain ball

- it’s turnover city for us. Crazy. 

- ground feels like it’s 15 x 20 with straight wings (literally, straight)

- no room

That’s Geelong for you. Insufferable pieces of [censored]. 

Well done Smith.

Skills not too flash.

No. Just cold and confused why he’s in Geelong.

Don't blame him. Imagine playing to packed stadiums every week then walking into that dump of a half Auskick sized ground

I think we dodged a 4 goal bullet then.

Time to switch on boys

Not called out by the commentator despite them showing the replay. Contact with injured players was banned was it not. Should get looked at but probably won't because he returned to the field.

Lucky it’s started raining. Cats skills and defensive marking was killing us. Bit of rain nullifies it. Plus, we piled on goals against Port up there in the wet. Frustrating to watch what we’ve become in 2023. Just a bottom 8 level side.

Yeah he is gone for that. Has to be

The scrapping onto Tracc and Gawn is pure Scott. 

How they both haven’t received 3-4 frees each is beyond me. Lay a finger on a cat and whistle goes immediately

Not sure what Kosi offers. Cannot win a one on one 

Bit hard when you are 5' and they kick it 9' in the air

Grundy "I thought we only played preseason games in the country".

Did we fly across yesterday to train? Doesn’t look like it!! 

Anyway despite being terrible, we’re only a goal or so down. It’s annoying because the cats aren’t even playing that well! It’s just that they’re not making as many dumb decisions as us. Better skills and capitalising off our errors.

If we sharpen up, we will win this.

Agree if we get to normal disposal for a VFL side, let alone AFL.

How can we change it? Bring more to the contest?

Are we actually ever going to play like a top 4 side? Our skills are the worst i’ve seen in a while..

Just quietly we have 6 frees they have 2

I think so. All over them. Just need to steady and find some space.

BS

Rivers called for it and then made a weak attempt at marking

Rivers called for it mostly stationary and Gus hit it out in front for Blicavs to intercept. Rivers never had a chance. Had Rivers gone harder he’s still not 200cm, the ball still would’ve been out of reach, Blicavs spoils anyway.

Theres a fundamental game plan issue that players don’t move in and out of space in a coordinated effort to get the ball on the move.

But if you are going to kick in to the corridor it has to be low and flat and Gus simply doesn’t have that kick. 

We're slow to move the ball,  turning it over, kicking to outnumbers, letting them switch at will,  letting them chip into their fwd line whilst we bomb the ball high to a 4 on 1

 

Wtf have they been doing over the break?

Frankly win or lose, I have had a gutful of pigheaded Goodwin and bombing it into our forwards. 2 years this damn issue can't be fixed.  Kozzie needs to get going or drop him. 

No excuses tonight.
Not the weather.
Not the ground.
Nothing.

Viney, Tracc, Grundy, Smith & Fritta ✅️

May, Hibbo, Lever holding up.  Petty getting to contests but rusty with hands.  To be expected given time away and conditions. Spoiling well though ✅️

Hunter doing ok on his side ✅️

Lingers i would bench for much of this quarter for Gus.  Reset message for Lingers needed at the break.  Terrible.

Kozzy was nowhere near it that quarter.  Chandler was on the bench for the most part it seemed?

This quarter will tell a lot.
