I'd like to know why there seemed to be 40 Geelong players on the field during the game.
The lack of manning up was a sorry state.
We were smashed in the centre and just werent hard enough at the pill, it just appeared to me Geelong we able to get the ball out to one of their own or get a quick kick out of the pack much better than us. The amount of Ball their runners had its no wonder we lost by 10 goals. The cats just seemed like they couldnt do anything wrong, would that be from lack of pressure?
Turn overs were not the only reason why we lost
In saying that out of the players I was most annoyed with were:
Tivendale .... 19 touches ???? how and where seriously I didnt see them, were they effective? because i think he played poo
Chaffey ...... His ability to get the ball actually hurts us more
Kellaway ....... Whats happened to this guy? Always behind his opponent and just doesnt seem to give a poo, I'd say Hall is better than Andy Actually
Brown ........ Although i think he is great, he was unseen until it was too late, for someone on so much $ he didnt play very well at all
Knobel ........ After watching him play he should contest centre rucks and get off the field cant take a grab to save his life
Simmonds ..... For such a big bloke he was unseen I know he can play alot better but jeez Troy talk about trying to make urself look like Ben Holland.
Krakouer....... kicks the first goal and goes and sits with his dad in the stands...... useless
Things i want to get off my chest:
Kicking to Richo, whats the deal with players kicking it to his feet? and why did he seem like he was the only one putting in the hard yards leading?
Gaspar I actually though played well had that shocking turn over which hurt big time but did kick a goal early which IMO cancelled it out, definately not one of our worst.
Graham, when the game was over he played forward and actually presented himself, it really highlighted to me how crap our fwd line was when a guy 30+ from another club where he played as a backman shows us how to lead and make a contest inside our 50 even when it was all over.
All in all I felt our midfield really let us down and it made our backline even worse, we didnt have any runners willing to man up when they had the ball or run hard enough forward into space when we had the ball and again our decision making kicking forward was really poor. Its ok to bang the ball to the hot spot 20 meters out but how about doing it when we have numbers back there!!! Also I sometimes wonder if our forwards are leading to soon because we couldnt take a grab inside our 50 all day.
I dislike losing...... I HATE getting belted
