The 5 minute patch from Geelong last week might have actually papered over some serious cracks. Take that out and they've basically not scored in 6 quarters.
Aliir's dominance is a lot due to Geelong's poor gameplan and midfield performance. Chip chip chip, pressured kick high into the air, Aliir mark.
Not a great plan.
Aliir is the best intercept defender in the comp. Lever's numbers are better, and his ability to help set up is better, but we base our entire gameplan on that aspect of the game. Aliir does it in spite of Ken Hinkley having no idea how to use him.
Aliir showing what happens when you don't drop intercept marks in the backline. 1st and 2nd quarter dees last week had a lot of trouble because of dropped intercept marks.
It would be the sweetest of sweet wins though surely to get over that mob on the last day.
Beating Port, hey it's a premiership. But beating the cats. My god. I don't think I'd ever come down.
Just barely got over a Melbourne-2004 death spiral Dogs last week. Dees and Cats are miles ahead I reckon.
If we can get over the Lions tomorrow night, I'd be shocked if we don't get a Dees Cats granny.
Barracking is for the home and away season. I just want a quality game. The finals deserve it. Melbourne games excluded of course, they can be as poor as they want as a spectacle as long as we win.
I wouldn’t say it’s utterly ridiculous he has to abide by state COVID regulations, but it’s not like he went shopping for faberge eggs and gold plated tiaras.
