What a horrible performance. Only thing savings us being thumped by 8 goals was their inability to convert.
Have no idea where to genuinely start.. our senior leaders were horrible plain and simple. Gawn was non existent and could barely lift his arms whilst Steven May was close to worst on ground.
What on earth was our game plan tonight? Kick long down the contest and get out numbered around stoppages? This was so [censored] predictable and we showed no intent to switch the ball and play through the corridor. Geelong on the other hand sliced us through the middle and opened our defence up so easily. We were incredibly slow to react to their transition.
Tonight was some of the worst individual performances we've seen tonight.
Guys like Bowey, Sparrow, Spargo, Bedford have all been horrible the past few weeks and need to spend some time at Casey. It's time to start rewarding guys who are in form and not continue to reward mediocrity performance that the likes of Bowey, Sparrow and Spargo have dish up for the past month.
Bowey especially just got pushed aside far too easily. If he wants to make it as an AFL footballer then building his core strength has to be first priority.
I genuinely have no idea what Sparrow adds to our side. Legit. Non existent once again. He's not even a ball winner and his awareness and reaction is so slow for a mid. Would feel more at ease with Dunstan in the side then this bloke.
Spargo has been missing all year. Just hasnt had the same impact as last year. Time see what Chandler has to offer because right at this minute, Spargo is a squad clogger and needs to seriously find form
Jordon was awful.
Harmes is a dead set shocker. I genuinely can't believe what I see when I see him attempt Dusty don't argues and then gets pinged for holding the ball. Infuriating!
Steven May hasn't won back any respect on performance since he has come into the side. Happy to be lippy on the drink but then puts on one of the worst performances you'll see. His game tonight was just littered with skill errors and soft acts. You could tell he was not all there from the opening bounce.
Fritsch is a selfish [censored]. Genuinely starting to dislike him as a player purely based on these selfish acts. Had the golden opportunity in the last quarter to handball to a Langdon all alone running into an open goal but instead tries a dribble kick across goal. Langdon was absolutely giving it to him and rightly so. How on earth have the coaches not pulled him up on that?
Salem is a shadow of his self from last year. Just zero influence unfortunately.
Positives were I thought Petty was our best backman for the night. Genuinely starting to get sick of him not being mentioned in the same boat as Lever and May because he is close to being an elite defender in my eyes
Overall, we simply got smashed on our own game. Geelong just seem to out number us around the stoppages. We lacked composure once again going inside 50. Petracca, Fritsch, Langdon, Spargo, Harmes, Viney were the main culprits.
Whichever you look at it we are simply not as good as last year. We get exposed on the quick turnover and we still have no forward connection. We don't seem to be that one whole connection around the ground as what we were last year. There are some holes on the playing field that is starting to show and good sides have exposed that this year.
We're not winning it this year.
