Dangerflog stands up in another big final.....

 

Just like the 2017 QF.

Just a train wreck. Danger 9 turnovers in 23 touches, Henderson had the fumbles, Cameron one goal and no impact, Guthrie no impact, Selwood 16 touches, Dahlhaus 6 possessions. Rohan ouch. Have made an art form of bouncing back after week one losses but that was tough viewing

Of the 23 Geelong players that faced the Power on Friday night, 16 fell short of a pass mark.

One continued his horror finals form, the other was a veteran that “looked like he was 45 years of age”.

What are the heroes on cats bigfooty page saying now? 

Enjoy TK  .

Let's break out the "Geelong in finals" bingo card:

Inexplicable skill errors: TICK
Choking our shots in front of goal: TICK
Lack of intensity: TICK
Failure to capitalise on any period of dominance: TICK
Leaders failing to rise to the occasion: TICK
Bizarrely playing to opposition strengths: TICK
Pathetically weak tackling: TICK
Going in to the game missing a key player due to injury or suspension: TICK
Another key player carrying an injury that limits their ability to perform at their usual level: TICK
Scott making a positional move that hasn't been seen all season: TICK

Bingo

It’s just ******* stupid, Scott can not remain as the Geelong coach. It’s the same thing every ******* year. I don’t give a sh*t about H and A record, it doesn’t matter if you lose every year when it actually matters.

Out of all these finals losses over the last 10 years this is the most deflating! The realisation this team is done! ain't winning sh*t with Scott at the helm, he is done as our coach! Time to move on Geelong!

After 10 years of this sh*t it’s deflating to say the least. honestly now at the point where I’d rather we miss the finals than have to sit through this pitiful rubbish. Sorta stuff that makes you want to throw out the membership. So over hearing the ‘but we give ourselves a chance every year’. No we don’t

Another finals failure but who really cares. The important thing is which 30 year old can the club get during trade period to sell more memberships and seats that we may or may not even be able to use.

We need to make changes now. I started typing this at quarter time. Could have used the same thing for the last 10 years or so.

GAME PLAN

* This starts with our silly game plan which is slow, boring, predictable, sideways and backward disposals. Does not stand up and is typically pathetic in the finals. Beats weak sides during the year, gets into the finals and then we get pumped. I remember Cook, who is very astute saying that the most important thing is that we make the finals every year. I beg to differ that perhaps it is best to build a team capable of winning premierships. Straight sets is becoming the norm.
* 3 goals in 3 quarters. What chance have you got.
* Chipping the ball, unable to handle pressure and composure as we are not skilled enough. The game plan is flawed in a pressure situation. It is clear to everybody except our coach. We are becoming a laughing stock of the league.
* Incredible frustration and boring game plan
* Above the shoulders is a problem. Playing our younger inexperienced players would not help but they have to be given game time while we are in transition.
* We choke in front of goal. Miss the shots we should get
* If Scott does not change this game plan show him the door. I do not care how many games he has won or how man excuses he has. HE HAS BEEN THERE TOO LONG.


LIST CHANGES

* Too old, too slow, too unskilled, too soft, too mentally fragile
* Reality is we need a fresh approach as there is lack of trust in this set-up
* Drop the players that let us down in the finals every time
* Wholesale list changes are required. Drop Rohan (disappears in big games), Dahl (cannot kick longer than 30 metres, 3-4 disposals per game), Henderson (slow and error ridden), Dangerfield (big game looser), Kolo (cannot keep his feet and to slow), Rohan (where are you?)


UPSIDE

* Close, Henry,


FUTURE

* Rebuild the side. Must rejuvenate the side as the players will have are on a downward spiral and will NOT win a premiership.
* Coach changes needed to introduce a game style that wins premierships
* Leadership changes.
* Call Clarko now.
* Play the younger players. Give them a go.
* Need key pack marking forward, outside run midfielder, inside monster midfielder, key backman…. Too many holes.

I'm tipping a Port v Giants GF

[Rampsation]

That would be a good gf.

[Andyy]

Port played a great first half but really failed to put Geelong away after that.  Just ran the clock down & fell over the line.  Was close to a nil all draw after quarter time.  A younger, more vibrant team would've run Port down in the last. 
Lions licking their lips ...  Dees sharpening their tridents ...       

They went over 5 goals up early in the third and put the cue in the rack.

The sort of thing we have done for years.

Mind on next week.

What a diabolical thing to say.

Need a marking forward despite having Hawkins, Cameron, Rohan and Ratugolea?

Outside mid despite having Smith, Duncan.

Inside monster, aside from Selwood, Menegola, Danger, Guthrie.

Key Blackman maybe they have a bit of a point.

Honestly though the thing I love most is that their coach and plan don't hold up and they never change them haha.

Geelong's first round draft pick looking better for us.

Sadly this is true. What an absolute flog this bloke is and how he was able to wreck this game without any consequence is why AFL headquarters is a joke
I will never forgive this bloke for what he has done to the game.

I knew him quite well some 15 to 20 years ago when he was a picture framer in Geelong. Sold him a few painting and had dealings with him in getting some artists doing paintings at this store. Was a good bloke to deal with then. He obviously was heavily Geelong biased but he had nothing much to do with the Club then. Being involved in the football World since then may have changed him and given him the opportunity to influence. Even with this prior knowledge of him I still think these changes that have come under his stay at the AFL head office are just plain bad. The stand rule is the worst rule ever introduced and he has to take responsibility for this abomination on our great game.

[pmac21]

I wonder how fans could come together to have this rule removed before next season?

Couldn't agree more.

I didn't even bother watching last night. Can't stand watching the game now unless the Tigers are playing

So watched the Paralympics instead which are brilliant

[Rampsation]

Yep. I watched the Paras too. Much better viewing.

Dangerflog stands up in another big final.....

He was last seen in September spiralling into outer space after staging for a free for push in the back at about 29 minute mark of the 2nd quarter of the 2019 preliminary final
