Should have persisted with Grundy & kept Jordan, sorry the words from our coach saying how much we value Grundy then isn’t played again was BS! Premiership window closing and should have won another flag yet recycled players Hunter & Billing’s enough said
Frustrating to watch how the cats find a way not to bottom out and attract free agents & power forwards like Cameron, one of the challenges of our club who has to compete with 9 clubs in melb vs the uniqueness of Geelong/lifestyle & able to train and play on their home ground
It’s been an issue since we lost Hogan & yes we got May, the Grundy deal was a disaster! Did we look at Peter Wright? Did we go hard at any of the king bros? It just appeared our recruiters were not looking to draft any kpp fwds
A flag & 3 top 4 finishes and yet our club can’t attract a gun fwd, watching Camero, the blues fwds & the best we can do is Brown with a banged knee and fortunate it lasted in 2021. Yet we continue to try and turn defenders into fwds, Tmac , Petty & Turner
AFL are drunk on opening round & Gather round circus .. more concerned on razza matazz then integrity, dees & saints looked cooked full stop! Simple play each other once at home & the following season away .. teams playing bottom teams twice getting an inflated % and inflating their ladder position for home finals & top 4 positions double chance
Afl are shafting clubs to achieve their gather round circus, saints 2 back to back road trips with 5 day breaks! Same with us and why wasn’t our bye last week?? Or at least play sat night as mcg was empty yet GC v Hawks was on?? Same with the saints could have played on Sat or Sunday
Players looked very flat , got smashed out of clearances, tall forwards were poor & not to be seen every time our mids got the ball, is this the game plan to have them pushing so far up the ground?? Not sure why Oliver was played with a finger injury!Let’s hope it was just last 2 weeks on the road but hey lions travelled also!
3 games in 12 days, against 2 home teams, no excuses but they looked mentally & physically cooked! Not sure we’re all the fwds we’re but nothing to kick to & trak just going for glory instead of turning to find a player sums up the night
