Deefensive Language

Throw by Weddle

One team is nailing their set shots

But I'm glad to see we aren't just slamming it on the boot down the line and hoping for the best. Defensive structure is great...just need more class forward of centre

The cheeky bugger shooshed our cheer squad...only 8 points up and plenty of game left

More clearances than score...surely a first?

Geelong have taken a record number of uncontested marks. They have scored every second time they've entered the 50. They toyed with us. Allowing your opposition to rebound with ease and control ball movement is not how you play AFL level footy. The coaching is horrid.

The most disappointing part is that despite the improved effort, it's really obvious that we're completely outclassed. The structure, cohesiveness and decision making is just not where it needs to be. We are scoring goals through opposition errors and quick flashes of individual desperation. It's the same trends from 2022 after three years of devolution

Langford makes a pretty poor blunder....but he's a first year player and that's normal. He hangs his head and looks dejected... But no-one comes up to give him an encouraging pat on the bum or a small dose of encouragement. And so he's allowed to stew in his feeling of failure. And that is how you create a long -lasting ****ty team culture

Suns' pressure factor has been ranked poor (137) but we were still unable to capitalise. Teams may start to realise they can save their energy when playing against us...and then use it all on counter attack

The kick wasn't fifteen and our fans were booing the umpire .... BUT does it excuse the fact that we left two guys unmarked in the F50 ...in a row?! Bottom 4 quality defending

Loving the sharpness of Lindsay and Langford...so excited for these two. And Sharp is clear best 23 for me. North have completely stopped

Jake's jaw dropped visibly when that was read out

Before the game Chris Scott says: (not a direct quote) if we do this, this and this, we'll expose their vulnerabilities. The guy might be arrogant but damn I would love a coach at MFC with such decisive confidence and capacity to adapt to circumstances. The players are so well drilled

Pressure rating towards end of that quarter was 156 - way below an acceptable AFL standard

AFL app said we are recording 4 disposals per turnover. Insipid!

He looks like Sagat from Street Fighter with that head blood

But what do you expect? Dermie is pointing out that Petty can't get near it... everything is static coming out of defence....

Can't win a game with such poor decision making and skills

Double post

He 100% looks like a llama....now I can't unsee it

On Fox they're talking about our missed tackles. AFL average 8....we have 9 to half time

90% of Clarry's disposals this year have been dump kicks or hospital handballs to teammates under pressure

Great decision Tholstrup to pass it off...was a bad look that he had to chase TMac half way down the ground to get a high five in. C'mon Tommy, help the second gamer feel welcome!

Big game on Thursday night...Adelaide Oval will be bursting at the seams with ferals desperate for their first win and all eyes in the AFL will be on us. Now is a great time to rewatch this mini-doco "Momentum" about our Grand Final win...I hadn't seen this in 2 years and it really pumped me up. Especially seeing Max stand up and Brayshaw's heroics. I love how it delves into how momentum can swing in football, but when you get it the wave can completely overwhelm the opposition. The win against PA last week was epic and I feel we're on the verge of some amazing momentum here.

They'll catch onto it soon enough. Unbelievable we're still dumping it in
