I think we just have to back JVR as our next tall forward coming through and recruit a decent back up ruck/forward option.

He is just about done . Anything 500k plus is way overs

We just can’t seem to take a contested mark in our forward line to save ourselves. We might have to roll the dice on JVR. Cant do much worse than others we’ve tried.

Gee that was heartless from the umpire

Strange how Lobb wants to leave Freo, wonder who he has a beef with?

Collingwood brainless twits booing Stephenson when they were the ones that squeezed him out.

Seriously, David Kings commentary is making me feel ill. North are 4 goals up and all he is doing is finding all the things they are doing wrong!

I think there are one or two spots available if someone really can put their hand up for Casey this week. Rivers or Hunt could be back in contention or Chandler. Interesting to see which tall stands up out if JVR, Weed and M.Brown.

Another big problem for us us that our small forwards in ANB, Spargo and Kozzie (not so much) just don’t kick enough goals . Id consider resting a spargo , ANB or Bedford for another tall ? Maybe time to try JVR?? I know that wasn’t our main problem last night as they smashed us in the middle, but we still have a few issues to work out up forward.

They out hustled us around the ball and we’re much cleaner and more desperate. I can’t believe the amount of times players who make space or who are on their own in the forward line aren’t used and instead they go for impossible angle goals , grubbers or blindly bomb it to the loose man in defense. Theyve got to be a lot calmer going forward and always give it to a player in a better position than yourself. “Play the percentages “ is something Gary Lyon used to say when he was captain.

Played like his heart wasn’t in it last night

6. Viney 5. Petracca 4.Oliver 3. Harmes 2. Brayshaw 1. Lever

They owned us tonight. Their tackling pressure was insane Very smart how they made our rucks redundant almost. One mark between them!

Just once I’d like to see guys like Sparrow, Jordon, ANB, Spargo, pull us over the line in games instead of always leaving it to Oliver and Petracca

Geelong are a much better side this year, not the geriatric side people think they are. They’ve found a few good young players .

Out worked us all night especially in the contest. They were right up for this game on their home turf and their intensity was much higher than ours . Much smarter going forward too. We looked pretty flat and fumbly . Next two weeks will be very important now , let’s get out of this hole of a ground and get back to work.

Lost the contest all night , that’s been the main difference. Fumbles and poor forward entries just the icing on the very bitter cake really.

Jordan’s worst game? Actually quite a few contenders for that title tonight

Lots of ball watching tonight

Dogggas definitely still injured Hasnt leapt at it all night

They are all over us

Their intensity is much higher than ours tonight

Geelong are playing better footy, much smarter with their forward entries

Getting dudded by the umps again with two different interpretations of holding the ball

Just blazing away straight to the loose player in defense
