Gawndy the Great

That is the first i've heard that saying and it has made my day. Ill make it my life's purpose to use it as often as i can.

Yeah i don't think he gave any credit to Melbourne in his pressor, which is quite disrespectful. Its ok to say what they didn't do well and how they lost the game, but every time we lose, Goody will always acknowledge that the other team was better. I don't really watch opposition pressers so not sure what is the norm across the comp.

Taranto carved us up in stoppages and got the ball to the outside on several occasions - particularly in the 1st half. He always plays well against us for some reason. Its always a rule-of-thumb that you never give the 5 votes to a player in the losing team and how Hardwick didnt give JV more than 1 vote is mind boggling. Riewoldt & Short for 3 and 2 votes is also pretty insulting. in the end its the 4 points that matters

Geelong’s points differential is a result of an anomaly achieved by playing against a 2nd rate Sydney.

Kozzy was terrible last night. He really needs to get more consistency in his game - he’s not a second or third year player anymore. Hasn’t been right since he got suspended. Given he’s likely to sign you’d think he would play with more freedom. I wonder what’s beyond his form slump.

What is even more worrisome is that they have gears. They can turn it on when they need to win games or just stay in cruise control to preserve their bodies.

Nope - I love the bloke but Oliver can be dwarfed by others in our team. Daicos is going to be the best player in the AFL in a few years time and has the potential to be mentioned in the same breath as some of the all time greats. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to wash my mouth out with concrete cleaner.

Can’t stand N Daicos, but cannot deny his talent. He’ll win the Brownlow by a fair margin.

Did the same to us. Regardless of game plan deployed, pressure will unravel all.

I’d have to disagree….. the noise from Tigers fans was far greater. 70/30 Tigers is my best guess.

Interesting comment by Jordy Lewis in the post match about the rotation of midfielders very Geelong like, saving bodies of the main midfield group for the second half and finals. Make sense on why we are losing the midfield more that we did last year.

Well when BBB is lining up for goal, you better vacate the MCG.

There were a couple reversals anyone know what they were for?

I’d like to see the running numbers - I think there was a lot of total distance covered tonight. The ball was zipping back and forth and the game really opened up in the 2nd half.

It’s going to be a tough game. Max and Lever will be better after coming off long breaks and Oliver was probably still a bit under the weather but got it done in the end. I’d only look at bringing in BBB and move Petty back as Norf will try to stack talls. Larkey is the main threat and is probably too agile for May… Petty is a better matchup

Watch it get changed silently in the next few. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

It’s a bit of a throwaway line. Everyone knows how to beat everyone if they can execute better for longer.. Sounds like a coach who knows their season is over.

There were not many teams that the Tigers wouldn’t have beat tonight. We forget their season was on the line and they threw everything at us. Having said that, our game has gone to absolute tatters. When there is pressure we are just no good. I could see how 3-4 Tigers players would swarm the ball winner and create a turnover. They also took the corridor away from us and we were left going through the wings. Our kicking skills and defensive ground balls is our kryptonite and everybody knows it.

S Ryan matching Gawn and Grundy on SC points combined. Says something.

What’s the opposite of cherry on top?

This is an insipid performance. We have a lot of defensive structure problems with and without the ball. Right now we are not a top 8 side. Something stinks about this side atm.

I don’t know what I’m watching. We are just playing some real poor footy. Cant see us pegging this one back … Looks like last week all over again.

And so the roost comes home to roost 😂. The perfect saying for this occasion

1.6 for a pair of AFL KPFs is not a great result. Perfect day for it as well… I hope they find some form quick as we need at least one of them to contend this year.
