Very Jaded

Geelong have had one great win against a top 8 side against Richmond. They beat Brisbane by 1 point in Geelong and smashed West Coast who I don’t rate also at home in Geelong. Lost to Adelaide, us and Sydney. Games against Port, Dogs and Brisbane coming up will tell us where they are really. Yes they are playing well considering their injury list, but need to see them perform against strong teams and away from Geelong for me to be really concerned by them. Brisbane, Dogs and Port more of a threat IMO.

If Jack Higgins played for us, I would take him out the back and belt him. Disgraceful attempts at goal kicking with the game on the line. Embarrassing stuff.

They are also extremely old. Their experience will be vital in finals, but gees they wouldn’t want to have to work hard in a second half or a final quarter.

Dermie is an old sad loser desperately trying to hang onto whatever tiny relevance he has left. His “analysis” is about as in depth as a shallow pool of horse crap.

His footy IQ and ball use and ferocity at the contest is elite. He makes up for his size with those qualities. I would like to get him a better hairdresser. There I said it.

His confidence in front of goal is a major issue. Either he needs to work one on one with Williams or a sports psychologist, or he needs to stick to VFL where there is no pressure. He doesn’t have much time to work it out. We can’t take this level of inconsistency into finals especially when Ben Brown is waiting around.

Not sure if going from A to A+ through natural maturity and career progression / experience is such a remarkable improvement. Oliver is just a total freak. Never in doubt he would improve.

It’s a long season and premierships are not won in June. We need to push hard for top 2, and hope like hell we stop getting Covid outbreaks in Melbourne. If we can nail both of these and have a bit of luck on the injury front, we could go all the way. But again, a long way to go and injuries and Covid can very well curtail the season quicker than we can say “lockdown”.

If we continue with the theme of we punish the outcome not the action, this won’t rate a mention. If we however look at player profile correlating directly to weeks suspended, he will get 6. So yes, our guess as good as anyone.

To not lay a single tackle in 3 weeks is appalling for a medium forward who has also not put any real score board pressure. Yesterday he played a more defensive wing game and did ok. But Jesus he just doesn’t love the hard stuff does he? He won’t get dropped, but he is absolutely not bringing enough to justify being an automatic selection in the best team in the competition and therefore will get talked about every week as we try to bring in changes, forced or otherwise. Hunt was awful and hurt his shoulder. I would drop him and bring in Langdon and reshuffle JJ to Hunt’s role. I would try to keep Sparrow in until Viney is back. He deserves a run of games and played really well yesterday.

Tmac has to win this. He went from “he’s awful we need to recruit a tall forward stat and trade him out” to “sorry tall forward we recruited, you can’t get a game now”. Given his foot issues and his age, his form turnaround is remarkable. Honorable mentions to ANB who I had in the trash pile and couldn’t wait to see delisted. Proved me wrong. Spargo always had it in him and just needed to find consistency. He is still really inexperienced and had a strong 2018 so I knew he could do it.

Lol at people saying no change. Langdon is arguably our most important player. If he’s passed his concussion protocol he will come in. Would you look at resting Salem? Give him a really good block of rest? Could be the last chance before finals to get him right.

Interesting thought. If they will let Victorians in while our state won’t let us go down the road to watch a game, I would officially give up on these health professionals.

There is less than nothing in that Sparrow bump. I would be filthy (but not shocked) if he gets any time for that. In: Langdon, Brown Out: Hunt, Weid I would play JJ in Hunt’s role.

Commentators hating this so much. They are struggling to be positive.

This really meant a lot to them. I haven’t seen them so emotional. In the context of the ladder this is a massive win. We need to aim for a top 2 finish.

We are a very good team. /end thread

Weideman goal kicking utter trash

Hunt just a total liability. I would give Bedford or Lockhart a go.

Why can’t I relax? Come on Dees keep going this is not over.

McDonald YOU STAR

Holding the ball you dumb umpires.

Goal kicking will finally be our undoing.

This he kicks ?

I reckon it’s a mental thing. His action is ok. But he has confidence issues and frankly I’m over it.
