To be honest I'm less concerned with the last minute and more annoyed at minutes 15-10 left in the last when they piled on 4 goals. I'd like to see that dissected instead as we had the chance to halt momentum several times.es yet failed until Petracca won a clearance - by that stage the margin was back to a kick.

OMac did something similar against Port and gave away a 50 which led to the sealer for Port.

I think our issue in this situation is that our leaders are older and past their prime while our young guys are capable but still immature/lack composure. I have great faith in the young group of guys though, Max is probably the oldest of that lot and he was off the ground for key chunks of time in the last quarter. TMac too but he was stuck down one end while the ball was pinging from the centre to the other end. Our mids are all still young, Viney would've been handy as he was against WCE last year.

Hogan also marked 10m out in the 3rd - if not a mark definite arm chop. Nup, play on. You don't like blaming them for losses but that's 3 games this year we could argue we've been robbed (Port, Saints, Cats)

Geelong 93?

I think he's finding it difficult with TMac back in the side as he now isn't the one focal point. His first 8 or so weeks this year were fantastic and he was being lauded as the future of KPF and a potential AA. He's still young, he's still coming off a horror year last year, he's still contributing. He will improve with age as he enters his peak in a couple of years.

He didn't lose the game. After his torp the ball went out of bounds and we had another scoring shot. There was still too much time to tray and maintain possession and even if he wanted to there didn't seem to be any options. Maybe you could argue if he doesn't kick that barrel Maxy never goes off with the blood rule and we win but now your starting into alternate reality theories.

Win both those games vs Cats and we're 3rd and their 13th. Such a fine line, 2 kicks in it.

There's a middle ground between expecting glory or defeat. You can support and see how things unfold instead.

Vanders cannot play this year he's been out for an eternity. Bugg is the obvious replacement hopefully he earns his recall this week.

I loved the way we played an attacking game, constantly looked to bring the ball through the middle corridor instead of long down the line around the boundary. Petracca, Spargo and Oliver were highlights for me. Absolutely shattered with losing in particular the way we lost but Geelong were playing for their season as much as us. We're nearly there just need a bit more composure and we'd be sitting comfortably in the top 4 if not top 2 - 2x games vs Cats, Port and Saints all games we should've won and outplayed our opponents in 3 of them. I understand the anger and frustration last night but big picture we are still on the right track. This is a very good young football side we've got hopefully they figure how to take the step to being great. As for those wanting Goodwin's head or blaming the loss on him I hope that was said in the heat of emotion after the loss. I have complete faith in the guy but he made an overhaul of his assistants.

The week before is Easter next year I think so could work

17 game season should be it. Alternate home and away each year. They shouldn't reward through the fixture just give everyone an even shot at the good timeslots. This 17-5 concept they're going for is a farce and trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

It doesn't - I meant if it's a tear it's season over for him but if it's only a strain I still think we can win this week without him anyway and hopefully get him back the week after.

Is he a moron? Is Hibberds a tear or strain? Tear season over, strain I still think we can win this week. It will come down to our midfield and effectiveness of our forward line.

It's not these he's not nice it's just that he barracks for Hawthorn

Pavlich is going back to Adelaide any year now

Bugg is a far better option than JKH and arguably a better option than Stretch and Hannan. I'd have him in the side for JKH this week.

Poor disposal, only runs in straight lines and often gets caught for running too far. He can fix 2 and 3 but I don't think his disposal will ever be as good as Gaffs.

Send the Saints up there they need the cash

I wish that were the case but when the AFL holds you over a barrel you don't get a day in these things

Pokies won't be ditched for another few years ding, enough time to rack up the required funds.

Thanks od That to me means the northeast corner will only have goal posts (ie no fence) rather than the northeast corner will be the only side of the ground with goal posts.

Can we give them Wagner too?

Any luck od?
