We played some diabolical shockers last season at various stages. Now all I can hope for is that we got them out of the way early this season.

Better tank early than later. What a brilliant strategy.

I would play him in the backline. If it doesn’t work out then trade for a set of steak knives.

Pauline Hanson complains about being stitched up by the media. We have been drowned by media bathwater.

According to BOM, weather should ease a little this evening in Geelong. Lighter milder winds and hopefully no rain.

Eddie should keep the pub and urinal talk to where it belongs.

Almost impossible to win over there in cold, wet southerly buster weather. An ageing creaky Jones and a hobbled Viney are a real worry. Hard to see any turnaround from them and to who will step up with real leadership. Hope I am wrong.

Not surprised by the article. It was a shameful start to the season. We have been a lite n’ easy meal for a long time. Only occasionally have we been indigestible.

I got the email too but left it too late to get a ticket. Had to settle for general admission. We are moving to Perth permanently in a few weeks. Been living close walking distance to MCG most of my life. Will miss it.

Once upon a time when a team was losing or being monstered some of the more antsy players would start a fight to attempt to stop opposition momentum. We tend to cower and wimp out. What happened in round one was unacceptably similar to when we played the Swans in round 15, 2017. Gawn was physically targeted severely that day also and we lost bad. We were riding high before that game after a string of great wins. It was very disappointing to see this happen again as well as the last quarter capitulation. Jones and Viney let the side down bad. Since beating Hawthorn in the First Semi we have been woeful. All this bathwater talk has some merit IMO. The only positive I see is now we have the opportunity to weed out this pathetic mindset early unlike late as in the past two seasons.

If that is the case we have achieved some serious over achieving last season.

Seriously any defender trying to defend when the ball comes down unchecked like it it did will look bad. I can’t believe they didn’t score at least 50 more points. It was an alround poor performance. The midfield and lack of forward pressure need to shoulder more responsibility for this debacle. It was the same during the JLT.

So is our lack of experience compared to the opposition when we lose. Someone has to mention it every time we lost since 2009. Drew 0 games, Duursma 0 , Rozee 0 and Butters 0 all say Hi.

Out - Viney In- Anyone that’s fit.

Time for Jones to captain Casey and help Viney rack up game time there.

Whoever said poor JLT form means nothing were right. We were worse than poor.

Two captains play like two dogs.

As I said before the game, if we win we win ugly.

How many times have we seen an NQR Viney come back too early in the last few seasons?

Seen this several times before during last season. Kick the for first three goals quickly then fall to pieces.

Midfield overated.

I can see the day coming soon when players will carry pagers to get them off the ground.

Would not be surprised to see a scratchy start from us. Nothing really stood out in the JLT. The betting odds are way over the top and are bathwater drinking inducing. Should be closer than pundits think. I predict an ugly win by less than 20 points.
