Review Geelong defeats Gold Coast by 120 points @KP

No his not. Half his wage goes to the taxman. Interest rates are at record lows at the moment and barely covering inflation. And he has fifty plus years to live off his footy income if he doesnt get another good job. Not likely to be a commentator or coach given his personality. Could very easily be broke by the time he is in his fifties like his old man.

He's a fair bit smarter than the old man God bless him,do you really you think Gaz Jr would have his money sitting in a bank earning a miserable 3%? No I didn't think so.

I don't think he has the same vices the old man had either....

He has probably got it in housing which is due for a decent correction.

What did we make of Bews game? Thought he competed well and was actually really composed when the ball was coming in, his defensive marking and positioning was really good I thought.

That being said he looked panicked ball in hand often opting for a short kick to someone with better disposal.

Thought he showed some really good signs. though.

I thought he was good early when it was a bit of a contest,but like everyone else hard to judge their game after quarter time.

Geelong's percentage of 174.74% is its highest ever after the first 6 matches of a season. Previous: 170.24% in 1953.

Didn't win the flag that year...

We would have if it wasn't for the bloody Catholics.

That will be tested after footy if he stays on the Goldie.

Goodness me, give me two million in the bank (I assume he has more) and see how I'm going by the end of the year.

Even if you only invested in dividend stocks, or rental property, you'd still be making a cool $75k-100k per year.

I'm glad that youngun Jimmy Bartel had a coming of age game

I get the feeling he'll go far

Yeah, it's time for him to finally start living up to his full potential.

Under a bit of pressure to get everything right I thought he did good. Far better than some of his other offerings. Was it perfect? - Far from it - but im confident that between he and Ruggles we can get a decent small defender... or two....

Thanks for these - Hawkins very unlucky, maybe he should have been more selfish in front of goal

Damn, you got some mad Photoshop skillz, bro. I'd print that out and stick that on the fridge if I were you.

Mots looks like he has been super imposed but other than that I can't fault it.Great work

Maybe that was Scott's expression when he realised he'd left Tomahawk out of his votes.

Sometimes inside footy can be all over the place but that looks pretty spot on for me.

As I did after the Essendon game, I went through the replay and noted down our centre square combinations again just to provide a bit of extra data to interpret. Derive whatever conclusions you want from this information; the most obvious difference between the combinations versus Gold Coast compared to the ones against Essendon is that we utilised Blicavs on a wing against the Bombers, so the role change made a massive difference to the composition of mids we used.

I'd be fine doing this for every match if enough people find this a useful resource.
