Quite conflicted about who I want to lose more here. West Coast look thoroughly beatable playing like this, I wouldn't hold any fears playing them at Optus in week 3. Collingwood at the G, on the other hand, not sure. Hmmmm.

Not sure why the Eagles are still just bombing it into Kennedy after he hasn't taken a mark inside 50 all match. Such a one-dimensional attacking strategy, easily being countered by Buckley, flooding defence.

Didn't even register a mention from these brain-dead commentators. Seems like Pies players can get tackled and drop the ball and it's play on. Different story when the Eagles do it.

He marked that over the line.

That free kick and 50 against Ryan was atrocious umpiring. The Pies player had clearly played on. The umpires are absolutely crucifying WC here.

What idiot signed off on these two guernseys? Can barely tell burnt orange and red apart on the AFL app (albeit lower quality than watching on TV). Shouldn't the Giants be wearing their white away strip?

It's funny isn't it? I'd rather lose by 10 goals getting smashed by a comprehensively better team like Richmond, vs losing to Geelong by a goal simply because we are frustratingly wasteful despite dominating across the entire ground.

Can't watch. I'm just about done. We have no one to blame but ourselves if we lose this. Completely our own doing too, against a team playing like absolute [censored]. I could [censored] scream.

We are absolutely destroying ourselves. I don't know if I can keep watching.

This is absolutely torturous to watch. Torturous.

Completely falling apart now. What the [censored] was that from Brayshaw? No composure whatsoever.

Tide has completely turned. Geelong are absolutely dominating this quarter but, miraculously, they're now kicking themselves out of it. Yet bizarrely you feel like the only floodgates that could open are goals for Geelong. Next goal is absolutely massive, cliched as it is.

Pressure has dropped off a bit this quarter. Where's the first quarter ferocity gone?

Christ, not again, please Dees. Not again.

I think that's what frustrating. Outplaying them but not converting. Been a consistent story this season. Hopefully it isn't our undoing tonight. We are killing them but if we don't start scoring then, mark my words, this will come down to the wire.

That was a shocker. Kick that and I reckon we kick the next 2 purely from momentum. C'mon Dees!!!!

2.4 to 0.6 that quarter. Bloody wasteful. If we lose tonight, it won't be because we weren't the better team on the night.

There's no doubt we're in total control over the entire ground but it's simple: wasted opportunities, wasted opportunities, wasted opportunities.

So far this game is just emblematic of our season. Dominating everywhere, inside 50s galore, but completely gettable going into half-time. We should be 8 goals up and cruising home, but our inaccuracy is killing us.

MFCSS.

Yep, agreed. Let's not forget the only team in the top 8 Collingwood beat all season was us. Their buttery soft fixture gifted them a place in the top 4. Hawks looked absolutely rubbish tonight, but Richmond have that ability to make most teams look rubbish at the G. They are scary good and won't have any issues making the GF regardless of who they play in the PF (one of West Coast, Collingwood, Sydney or GWS I think). Regardless, we still have to win tomorrow and beating Geelong has not exactly been our speciality over the last decade. Going to take a huge effort from the players to overcome a team so brimming with finals experience.

Haha, their Gibbs manoeuvre really paying dividends, isn't it?

How the hell are the Hawks top 4? Seriously. They are bloody average!!!

Geez, some teams just get those bloody goals EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
