Chook

Look, he's either injured or he has inexplicably aged ten years. I don't get it but his pace is totally gone. If it's not an injury, he's simply genetically very unlucky to have lost all his pace this quickly. Captaincy worries or not, you don't lose so much speed unless there's seriously something wrong with your body.

Burn!

Come on Neeld. There's a precedent with Vandenberg. Just bite the bullet and give Jack a run in the seconds.

The weakest report you will ever see on Tapscott there. Umpiring has been a joke today.

Coaches who lose need to explain why. First he said we don't know why. You skewered him for that. Then he said why. You skewered him for that too. Get a grip.

Jack Grimes is having just as good a year as Jones is. It's clear now that Jack Trengove shouldn't have been made captain, but swapping Grimes for Jones would be pointless.

When Mark Neeld starts using excuses that aren't true, then you can sack him. Until then, he's just pointing out things we need to improve on. Isn't that his job?

Say anything you want about this team's skills, but bruise-free is one thing we're not. Add Dawes, Clark, Jetta, Magner and Couch and we'll start to see Neeld's "Hardest Team to Play Against" come to fruition.

Nice post hero.

Brisbane kicked poorly last week and it was our fault, so we come out and kick poorly this week and it's still our fault. WTF? It's not just kicking skills that matter, it's composure under pressure. We have none. It's getting to the point now where we need a good old fashioned goalkeeper just to stop those stupid over-the-back Carlton goals.

On a lighter note, surely this has been the easiest tipping week in the history of footy. Half Australia's going to get the nine this week!

I don't think we have the right players for anything.

What was that? I missed it.

His only strength is his endurance, so why not take advantage of it?

Maybe you need a (new) coach.

No way! Jets, Goodsey, Teddy, Mummy and the bunch are just so good that he's trying to give them their due credit.

I rewatched our game against the Lions last week and noticed that Beamer was always matched up on one of the following four players: Jack Trengove, who is really young and still broke even when he was on him. Jordie McKenzie, who has no offensive side and thus didn't test Moloney's only weakness. Colin Sylvia, who has no defensive side and thus allowed Beamer way too much room to do his thing Matt Jones, who had his career worst game on the weekend. All in all, we have a F grade midfield and so it's only right that a D grade opponent would take us to the cleaners. Embarrassing, sure...but right all the same

At least you're giving her some encouragement... Let's not forget about Brock McLean. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this our first game against the Blues since his infamous On the Couch interview that put our entire club in the shite?

This just in...apparently Frawley's had a shave. We're certainties now!

I'm excited to see what Jake Spencer can do. It's always a long time between games for him, but every time I see him he's about twice as good as he was the last time he played. Unfortunately he's starting from such a low base that by the time he's any good, I'll be dead.

First gamer comes on when everyone else is tired and is eased into the intensity of AFL. How is this bad?

Nothing Geelong did tonight was particularly spectacular, but since the muppets on Channel 7 started talking about the Cats' seemingly never-ending dynasty I knew we'd see a thread about it here. It's the same with our post-match threads. Someone says something on the telly and you can bet it'll be brought up here as if it's some amazing discovery. No disrespect to anyone who posted on this thread, of course!

Call me crazy, but I actually really like those outs. The ins are a bit of an unknown quantity, but they're all goers and relatively hard runners.

James McDonald in, Brian Royal out.

Good Evans! Watts Clark Kent Dunn to the Flash? He's Gawn! Blease help him!
