I know Owl I go back to the late 70's so I've seen all this era of failure so unfortunately I have clear memories of a lot of crap losses. :help

ground is spot on surface wise can tell you that, probably about etihad in size.

Agree the surface is fantastic but for the fans it's sub-standard

Though the Roast Beef rolls were very tasty indeed  ;D

Are you sure that was beef?

Lets not be dramatic.
Worst game of football we have seen and most would agree would be Round 1 2009.

Yes yesterday was bland as a game with few highlights but we won and given we needed to win after the Nought match and we had until yesterday never beaten GC winning ugly is better than losing ugly.

No wrong.

Worst game of football I've ever seen from both sides was yesterday.

It's easily to pick out games where we have been smashed but in those games one side played very well.

Yesterday was a great result for us but from a standard point of view it doesn't get much worse.

Ok I'll raise you Daniel if the criteria is a game we won and didn't get beat.
Worse than when Sanchez won us the game after the siren? :chuck
At least I felt relief after Saturday after Richmond v Melbourne in 2009 I felt nothing.

All we are talking about is the standard of play not the fact we won.

Of course we are rapt(actually relieved) more like it when they blew the siren. There are games where you are generally excited(blues rd 1) then there are games your like phew what a relief) that's how I felt Saturday

Conditions were terrible so that played a part

I thought the stadium and amenities were a disgrace and seeing blokes pee where people walk was enough

Anyway we don't have to see that hole again. Over to you Noight you will love it there guys

Glad we won.
Very happy to be 10-5
Avoided being the laughing stock of competition ( just)
Tricky conditions at a " third world" ground.

However....can not remember watching a more putrid/ugly/horrible game of Australian Rules football . First time I have deleted a Richmond victory right off the IQ without a second viewing.

I remember we beat hawthorn once kicking only 4 goals back in 95...but that match was played in a swimming pool.
have seen worse but gotta agree with the gist of what you say.
i dont think we have played to a decent standard for a month now.

As a spectacle I can't remember any worse.... It was worse than the "Jodie McMahon " game against the dees which made me feel dirty and cheep.

I agree that our form has been patchy....however we have still won 5 from 6 and we all would of taken that after the dreamtime debacle.
If I recall Chris Scott was complaining over the way Geelong were playing a month ago.
After 6 weeks of being the " hunted" looking forward to the credibility tests that are coming.
