It's like expecting a fast bowler to be able to bat !!!

We can go over various incidents that occured throughout the game and individually allocate the "fault" onto one because it was the last chance. ( and about a .5% chance anyway) There were around a THOUSAND incidents during the game. My incident was the one where Pendelbury ran through the centre bounce and fed it down the ground to ........ who goaled . Perfecto !!! And it came at a time that it was needed. Show that to Xavier ,Caleb ,Kyle, Rivers & Langford to encourage & incentivise them, not blast them all ( the whole team) for singular incidents. Bowey plays above his height. I will tell you that we miss ANB . One of the above players will fit that category at some stage.

I just think some people were watching some other game in relation to comments on Petracca & Oliver in particular. I think that in the last 3 weeks we have seen a turnaround in Clarrie's degree of involvement. I feel he is now gaining confidence in himself (and changing his role). He is playing with a lost more zest than earlier. Well done Goody and the whole support mob . Trac is nearly back . He has had to shown a lot of courage in coming back from his "injury". There is passion back !!!

Hey !!!!!!! We lost by 1 F.....l..lPoint so we are not that far out of it. The way people are posting you would think we were 105 points down in the first Q and had a side of U14 players C Division @ Sea Lake

Interesting that the media asked whether the Umpiring changed at 1/2/ time. Dees getting pinged for things C'wood got away with.

Probably the highest pressure game of the year for our younger players

Bit harsh on the younger players....... this is the top side we played !!! Oliver : Most involved game yet Bowey : Plays above his height Langford,Lindsay, Windsor : This what the best side is like !! Langdon: great team discipline Chandler, Sparrow: need more involvement Howes, McVee ,Turner : my doubts have been erased Rivers : needs a role Petracca: Tries too hard, let it flow

Turner ,, a sleeper(but as part of defence like McVee), Knows where the ball is. Clarrie (although terrific effort)is not exactly a "deliverer" like Neal/Zerko Don't think for one moment that Petracca is deliberately being "swamped" Good game so far, but they are delivering the ball better than us !!

How quickly some people think people move from pro or against a certain player (usually positive to negative)

or more than singlets and clothing in his "bonus " package

Surely his "manager" has some morals. If not he should be deregistered. A contract is a contract entered into by BOTH sides. Why should the Club have to baby sit people who do not honour their committments. How would Gawny & JV feel having given everything to a Club and people ><.* *8 $^%& on their face !!! If MFC "subsidise" his payments then I am following Soccer. IF it is true then the AFL should be loooking at Geelong player payments (not just now, but over a number of years.

The bloke has not even got in the door and the knives are out for him, because he did not kick 500 goals a season. Chris Fagan did not play AFL, does that mean he cannot coach ? About time some people get real. This is fast becoming the most negative group of people in football, which is supposed to be a game which we enjoy ,not a character asassination bureau.

The way he went about his football and involvement in MFC reflected the quality of the person. That speech (without notes !!)cemented my thoughts exactly. Well done Gus !!!!

Just get over it. The media have found the circus and by hook or by crook thye will milk every little bit of inuendo out of this. WHile they are hounding MFC they are leaving C'wood,Essendon & Carlton alone ...........wonder why !!!!

Maybe there was an emphasis (by the "Really DUMB" Coaching panel to develop his ball getting skills when he went back to Casey. They actually do those sort of things .
