100% that Nev was trying to kick the ball sideways to Langdon. There is no other possible explanation. The maggots cost us a goal.

And serial offender Burgoyne gets off after sling tackling Rowbotham form the Swans One rule for them..

Our players have a low footy IQ. In all kinds of situations If you are getting tackled without the ball then don't take possession. So many times a player would take possession when the smart thing to do is not take possession but, say, tap the ball to the ground. Our players never learn. The number of times we didn't go back from the mark and either: a) allow the nball to be touched/spoiled; or b) have to kick an up and under because they were too close with plain infuriating. And whats worse is we do it every week. Petracca is the worst offender, Max is second. Wet weather football our players are dumb. They don'tget their body behind the ball and it rund past them. We don't keep a player gaolside at stoppages in the def 50. Basic stuff we do wrong time and time again. I could go on..

Our pressure was elite in the last qtr I saw, that's when we play our best. Not sure what happened in the 2nd qtr....

He did but you woudn't think that his fitness was affected much given he could and did run. It might be why they're not playing him in the middle. If its an elbow ligament they can take ages to repair. The strength takes a long time to get back to normal. Maybe he doesn't have the strength for the heat of the centre square bounces.

we were smashed in groundball gets in the first 3 quarters

Oscar. Oh dear....

How many times will we kick into the main the mark Basic stuff

That white goalpost looks racist to me

Its not even a rule. The interpretation as such has evolved from wanting to keep high flying marks in the game. It's great for viewers, particularly internationally. Go for the mark but if 'it's an unrealistic attempt' and you infringe another player its a free. ie If you infringe another player but its a realistic attempt go for your life. This was another matter altogether. a) not only did he touch it but b) he did not infringe an oppostiition player. These poor mistakes are infuriating.

How in the hell did Richmond get a free for this? I was outraged at the time and even more outraged now. He actually even touched the ball. If he spoiled anyone it was Tomlinson Another BS decision from the poor umpiring in the Richmond game.

Dees by 15 Time to stand up

Unbelievable someone could suggest Neale is not worth worrying about. He's a class act. Stats wise he is outperforming Petracca this year on: Kicks, Marks, Goals, Tackles, CPs, UCPs, Clearances, Rebound i50s, 1%'s, bounces, TOG, Centre clearances, stoppage clearances, metres gained, tackles i50, Intercepts He's also outperforming with less clangers and less turnovers Let's not worry about him though. https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=20&playerStatus2=A&tid2=12&type=A&pid1=3694&pid2=4041&fid1=S&fid2=S

So no Stef Martin.....that is a big blow for the Lions. Oscar mcInerny to ruck? I'd leave Jackson out and bring in Jones and Neal-Bullen. If its going to be a slog we want runners.

Weather forecast for Gold Coast Friday up to 35mm rain Saturday up to 25mm rain Sunday up to 35mm rain I'm tipping we don't want 3 talls in the fwd line.....!

Wasnt that one of the reasons we got Tomlinson? He can actually take a grab and his endurance is very good. Doesn't seem to like body contact tho.....hmmm. That could be a GWS thing that we have to train him out of..

Apparently Brad green played for Manchester United!

Like your work @Rusty Nails??

I remember this game well. Family lunch with Geelong supporting outlaws. They were dumbstruck that we beat them on their own turf. They left the house in a hurry without saying goodbye or thanks for lunch. Hilarious. Max was outstanding. It was the game we had been waiting for. He has grown in stature ever since. The game on the weekend against hawthorn was the complete game. can't recall a better rucking exhibition for the Dees even going back as far as Peter Moore, Ditterich, Jeff White etc.

Oscar has reduced his clangers, Salem has been a lot better the past two weeks, Harmes is playing a role each week and Brayshaw is having issues. I suspect right foot but its only a guess. But 2019 is a pretty low benchmark. They should all be well above.

Gus is playing like he is getting a painkilling jab to his right foot. Shanks a lot of kicks on the right but seemed to get better as the game wore on. And he does seem to kick a lot on his left at which he is quite proficient

Oscar also had a brayshaw-esq mis-kick on the near boundary in the 3rd qtr. Ball dribbled along the ground after he failed to hit Harmes I think it was.. Don't get me wrong, he played a good game but that was definitely a 'blight' as you called it.

They also 'stole' Darren Jarman who we drafted and refused to come. Hawthorn got him a year later in a pre-arranged deal.

Me too. Just gathers useless stats like Cotchin used to do. Around the back, give and go. Doesn't do much damage at all.
