I saw that it was 24 deg. The commentary said that it was hot and humid. Regardless - and the point of the post - we are playing one of the best clearance teams in the comp off a 6 break. Our clearances have sucked the last 2 games

We have lost clearances in the last 2 games by 13 and 18 We are playing one of the best clearance teams on the competition this week off a 6 day break in hot conditions. Hopefully Oliver will be back but we are like the little boy with his finger in the dyke at the moment. Lots of holes being plugged Need to lift in the middle big time

There was a graphic on Fox Footy. I suspect its a paid Champion Data stat

Some stats Hitouts to advantage Us 7 PA 9 Scores fm stoppage Us 25 PA 45 Game Pressure 175 to 145 PA (prob to be expected in the heat but geez that was low for us)

Kozzie clinic Viney was great The rest are so out of form its frightening

How many times do we kick into the man on the mar k farrrrrrrr out

The Koz Wow

Stoppage clearances 22 to 11 at 3/4 time Need to lift

We never seem to have any fwds on the goal line. Infuriating instead we keep them around the 50m mark to try and keep the ball in the f50 This is barely watchable.

Zero desperation

Maggots

Benbrown is done

Sparrows disposal abysmal

And last week

Where has our defence gone?

How frustrating is it to watch Unbelievable give these big heads a rocket Goody

He needs to be reeducated. Its pathetic selfish behaviour And pull his finger out. Our most annoying player in the last month

Haven't we only won once wearing it? That should be enough to consign it to history

So it would seem that its not just May or Salem's kicking - its the whole team. Over the past 5 weeks we are 18th in the CData Kick ratings EG Oliver and Petracca have had 46 kicks i50 and only TWO have been marked. Holy cow that is bad.

Dont disagree. I was just rebutting the post saying "Hunt is not a forward"

Good explanation Geelong were instructed to smash the ball in contests to stop Max or Jacko marking AND to keep the ball away from our ground level players.If you watch the contests closely you can see the Geelong players further away at the contest. If they didnt win the ball the tackled our guys fiercely. Then they utilised the switch or the corridor successfully. We looked slow in countering Fast movement into our defensive zone counters our ability to set up the defensive zone. All in all well played to Scott but I suspect we have now seen their cards and expect we will be able to counter in the next match.

Kicked 4 against Essendon a few years back

Didn't Oliver have 11 contested possessions in the last - with a broken thumb?

Its highly likely Gus has some kind of arrangement that will give the club flexibility in dealing with the Dogga situation while not disadvantaging himself..

May? I must have watched a different game.
