The only positive from this, is the club won't get an opportunity to pretend things aren't as bad as they really are and paper over the giant cracks. Which is what could have happened if we had won today against an off Geelong (for 3/4ers) and pinched another meaningless win against the nothing to play for Saints next week. We are a soft and dumb football team playing an inefficient keeping off gamestyle designed to prevent scoring rather than winning games on the scoreboard. That's why we crack and get regularly run over as soon as the intensity and pressure goes up.

l said that at 3/4 time  ;D

Bad loss. You can't be that far in front going into last and lose. Pathetic.

I can't blame rance, Martin, Cotch etc but I hold dimmer responsible for landing us the  Griggs. Houlis, hammers, (the rest White hope) ahunts, etc. and not being aware of the choice of the ellises, concas and the rest.

We were being done all day just not on the scoreboard. Even with lady luck we couldn't win They are just a better side we are pretty crap. Time to turf Vickery he couldn't take a grab all day and he is sooo slow.

Was a classic Cat & Mouse game....in reality Geelong outplayed us all day...30 scoring shots to 18 says it all....though somewhat contradictory , we could've been about 10 goals up at the last change....bombed at least 5 goals...

Riewoldt non-decision was a shocker but only ferals, dribblers & immature man-children blame umpires for losses...if you're good enough then one or two decisions shouldn't make a difference...particularly if you're 6 goals up at 3 quarter time....

Houli and Grigg need to give the ball to Short and Markov at every opportunity as they not only hit targets they make the right decision. These old spuds need to be bloody told to do this no questions asked! Rioli is going to be special :thumbsup

Houli, Grigg, Hunt, Vickery, Moore & Ellis should never play for our senior side again....
