My great insight for the evening. there are so many dislikable players in this Geelong side 🤮 Hawkins - miraculously clumsy when it suits him (eg. highly tackles, errant elbows) Dangerfield - smug Selwood - jerk Smith - hated him at Hawthorn Cameron - looks like Smith Guthrie - white guy with locks Miers - white guy with locks & a stupid first name Rohan - I think even Geelong supporters don’t like him

Notice any similarities between Watts and Hogan? Both golden prospects who don't really want to do everything it takes to be the best. Jesse has time to turn it around, and here's hoping he does.

Rhys Mathieson says hello

I thought the same. I didn't notice the umpires, which is always a positive sign.

100% - he seems to be one of the personalities of the group (and not in an Ackermanis way). Teams need those people.

We're tempting fate (and Norm Smith) just talking about it 😀

Nothing to say other than I’M EXTREMELY NERVOUS

That Jones and Viney both have a tendency to get caught HTB is a reflection of where they've come from as players. For a long time Jones was the lone 'star' in our midfield and he developed the tendency to try and do too much. While it comes from a good place it's ultimately selfish football. Notice as we got better as a side, Jones worked that habit out of his game. Viney is the same, and when is he in average form it creeps back into his game.

I'm 100% petty enough to hope this happens to HFC. Never forgiven them (or Simon Eishold) for 1987.

Don’t question my understanding of the game. Try reading my comment. When Viney tries to do too much it can hurt us. When he’s in good form, he doesn’t do that.

Random comment There’s a few on our list that don’t know their limits & opt for the fancy rather than the safe ANB, Harmes and Viney are my key offenders For a bloke who has no time, ANB cruises around like he’s Scott Pendlebury. Harmes is about the dumbest footballer alive And Viney, I respect his hardness for the contest, but he’s completely one sided and often tries to do too much. ANB & Harmes are role players and need to deliver consistency rather than one flashy contribution every 6 weeks.

As Fritsch is one of the um... 'less physical' players on our list, surely Dermie would be loving the idea of him throwing elbows.

You can’t have three blokes getting no touches in the forward line. Spargo - smart enough to hit a target Pickett - dangerous enough to cause damage ANB - useless Based on this in-depth analysis, ANB goes

Generous assessment of May, he was ordinary tonight.

Not me, but at one of our games on the Gold Coast my dad ran into all the umpires in the foyer of the hotel. Dad introduced himself and the umpires ended up gave him a ride to the ground in their mini bus ?

Never forget Derm's all time classic of suggesting David Wirrapunda wouldn't like playing in cold weather (apparently in Dermie's world all indigenous players come from the desert). Someone had to tell him Wirrapunda is from Healesville ?

Last night was bearable because Taylor the [censored] was absent. He doesn't know the rules or the players. And he's not funny. I particularly enjoy his medical speculations regarding injury. Classic example - when he suggested the GPS tracker in the jumper may've caused in injury. And he seems anally fixated...if I hear him mention hemorrhoid cream one more time I will lose it.

Ummmmm, what about Trac's Cash Converters ads?

Let's be real though - would a club like Collingwood risk going for an untried senior coach like Yze or throw their considerable resources at Clarkson? I just can't see Collingwood taking a risk on someone untried, however talented they are.

You're all a lot less jaded than I am. I'm currently here

We cannot expect to win games when we’ve got players in the forward line contributing nothing. Spargo, Pickett & ANB all did nothing today. Unfortunately the gap between their best and their worst is massive.

Harmes has his positives but has to be one of the dumbest footballers alive

THIS It really grinds my gears that the 'big' Victorian clubs have been protected from playing down there for years while we have to front up every year. The argument about crowd size is void because barely anyone non-Geelong can get in down there. Geelong gets an armchair ride and the big clubs get protected from playing at a ground where the home team have an obvious advantage. Imagine scheduling Richmond to play down there. If Hardwick the germ can't handle Docklands his head would explode at the thought of the hour drive.

I was at the ground and in my area it was about three Essendon supporters for every Demon. Within the first five minutes they were squealing and it only got worse. Too me it was over the top but consistent for the Essendon crowd over the last 30 years. They are supreme whingers.

The AFL are the ones meddling with the rules and constantly forcing the umpires to change their interpretation of said rules. Yet the AFL don't want to invest in making the umpires professionals. Moral of the story - who would want to be an umpire.
