Cmon Geelong. Time to clip the wings off these whinging Hawks. Just get it done!

Hopefully sniper Mitchell gets cleaned up in the second half. Such a whinging piece of [censored] that bloke. And he never, NEVER stands up in the big finals games. He's got the worst finals record I can remember from any "superstar" footballer in my lifetime.

God Hawthorn are annoying to watch. They play such uncontested footy. When it's tough in packs they can't handle it. It's a pity teams can't keep the intensity up for a whole game against them like we did or they'd come unstuck. Hate watching their players whinge for frees even though they get a dream run with the umps. Hope Geelong can reset at half time and tighten up their defense to stop those over the top [censored] goals. Cmon Geelong!

Must be Jetta in 10th

He had a poor pre-season and struggled for fitness all season. His past 3-4 years before that were very good. He would give us more depth and class to our midfield, and is also flexible to rotate through half back if needed. We need better kicks and he fits the bill. He can kick it 60 metres accurately! His leg is a cannon! We also need more players in his age bracket with experience to balance out the youngsters we have. If the price isn't too high, and it shouldn't be due to his injuries this year, he is an ideal target. 2nd round pick and sweetener, or 2017 first round pick for him and maybe a sweetener to us. He's a good target for us. Go get him Dees!

I'm so sorry Paul. This club doesn't deserve you and the hard work you've put in. You must breathe a sigh of relief not having to deal with the losers loitering round the place anymore. Enjoy retirement!

Did we? Roos said in his pressed yesterday his worst loss as coach was his second at the club at 91 points. He must have a selective memory! Maybe the record is safe Still a f*cking pathetic effort today and the players should be ashamed and stripped of their match day pay. How can we still have these kinds of losses after 10 years of rebuilds!?!

91 points in his second match as our coach. This is likely going to top that. It's shameful it's even anywhere near that to be honest after all this time.

It does qualify him for VFL finals and I suspect it's the reason why he is playing VFL this weekend.

We're handing Roos his worst loss ever as a coach as a parting gift. I'm ashamed to be part of this club today. Truly embarrassing.

What else is there to glean? I'm only stating facts. Thankfully he's being played further up the ground today and is one of the few players actually having an impact which is great to see. Hopefully he gets played midfield full time going forward as that's where most of us see him best suited to.

Yep we're missing him around the stoppages today. Hopefully he dominates VFL finals and helps Casey to a premiership. If he gets fitter over summer he could become our best player very quickly.

Roos' worst loss as coach was his second as our coach where we lost by 92 points. Let's hope we don't rol over and record his worst loss as coach as a parting gift. That would be f*cking pathetic and the players should have to forfeit their pay if that happens. They're employed to do a job and they're not doing it.

Effort all round today has been rubbish. Barely any players can hold their head high after that half. Great to see Salem played further up the field and having a dip. Disappointing to see what Hogan has become. For a big guy, he was one of the fittest hardest working and aggressive players in the league last year. This year he barely leads, sooks if he doesn't get an easy mark and is having zero impact. More opportunities this year yet less marks, less goals, less tackles. He has either decided he is leaving and is mentally checked out, or he needs a massive rocket. On form Pederson and Dawes are ahead of him.

I'm switching off. I thought we were passed these 100 point losses. Really poor end to an otherwise promising build this year. These last two weeks have killed our momentum going into preseason and are a disrespect to the hard work Roos has put in the last 3 years. Players have laid half the amount of tackles as Geelong today yet can't get their hands on the ball! That's all work rate and guys not giving a stuff. Really disappointing.

I expected them to put up a fight for Roos' last game as coach. The effort in that quarter was pathetic. Never seen so many limp tackles.

Midfield getting smashed again for second week in a row. Get Jones out of the back line and into the guts coaches! Anyone saying we don't need more midfielders is wrong. Our midfield still can't compete consistently and we need more experience in there. It be nice if Hogan did something to. He's taken less marks from more opportunities this year, kicked less goals and stopped bothering to lead or tackle. On form he shouldn't be playing AFL at the moment. Needs a rocket. Hoping it's not a sign he's checked out mentally and is going to leave.

LATE CHANGES Geelong: NilMelbourne: Dean Kent (corked thigh) replaced by Matt Jones in the selected side.

Hope the boys put up a good fight for his last match today. Disappointing we weren't able to make finals this year but we have improved a lot and Roos has done a great job getting us on track. Enjoy Hawaii Roosy!

He's had one good game, that was this round last year against GWS. He was able to intercept and cut off attacks and then hit up targets well with his good kicking skills. Other than that game he has had 28 average games where he has not had an impact. At this stage he is averaging less than 10 games a year and is statistically identically to Toumpas...but ironically lays less tackles. He's averaged 255 metres gained per match, which is below average for a half back flanker who's job is to rebound well and gain territory once we have the ball. The point is he has struggled to get on the park and hasn't been able to impact games when he has played. Earlier this year before his health issues were uncovered he was amongst our worst players and eventually was dropped. This may have been due to the health issues effecting him and they hadn't been diagnosed yet, but the fact remains he has not impacted games regularly. He has talent and I want him to become a good player for us, and he can become a good player for us, but in the past we have given guys too long before getting rid of them. We would have guys like Juice Newton and Rohan Bail on the list for 6-7 years before cutting our losses. Salem is already coming into his 4th season and hasn't cemented or found his spot yet, so he needs to start stepping up soon. Let's hope he can because he's talented and we've had too many talented player not make it at this club over the last few decades!

If we were offered a top 10 pick I'd take it and run. He's averaging less than 10 games a year at this point, and when he's played he's barely had an impact. He is definitely talented, but you can only last on potential for so long. In my opinion, he's got 2 more years to get his body right and start impacting games. If he still finds himself on the side lines or struggling to cement a position after that time, that's then 5 years on the list and you move him on. Hopefully for his sake and the team's sake he comes good and can stay on the park and start fulfilling his potential!

Good move to give him a one year contract. It gives him a chance to cement himself and if it doesn't happen he's not taking up a space on the list for a number of years like a Garland or Terlich type is at the moment. Trengove is a good player with a great football brain. Thought he was stiff to be dropped as statistically he was comfortably in our best 22 players and unarguably better than a good chunk who kept getting fed a game at the time. Hopefully he can make it back to what we all hoped he would become.

If another club offered a first round for pick for him I'd take it. His value will likely be diminished now though as he has been injured and not developed as expected.

I'm not as impressed with Salem as others. No denying he has good kicking skills and goes when it's his turn, but he's also come on slowly and not developed certain aspects of his game the coaches were getting him to work on. He's a poor player defensively, to the point where opposition coaches instruct their players to go through whoever is his closest match up (know this for fact from assistant coach at another club). He loses one on one contests in the air and gets outbodied if it comes to ground. He'll never make it and a half back if he can't learn to defend competently and thus far he hasn't. He's also failed to impact games offensively. He doesn't get enough of the ball, and when he does he doesn't use his kicking skills to good effect, often chipping short with noting kicks. He needs to learn to find a decent longer option and start hitting those passes to release play. Hopefully this comes with experience and having more options provided by his teammates. He's still got plenty of time, and he definitely is talented and could become a star, but at this stage he hasn't developed as expected and needs to come on quickly over the next 1-2 years. It starts with getting his body right and then building form from there. I'd prefer to see him play midfield in the future. We want him to be the player kicking in inside 50.
