I am only pissed i didn't put 100 on Essendon head to head..
Now that would've taken the edge off some what..
Autopsy Geelong loses to Dons by 34 points at MCG.

In all seriousness, Hawkins must be dropped for that effort. From the missed snap at the start of the match (with the obligatory thigh slap as he misses another gimme.....) to the effort in the third when he just jogged around the forward 50 after another half arsed effort while the bombers ran in waves around him.
I havent even mentioned every one-on-one effort he lost, didnt even bring balls to the ground to a dangerous area!!!!! I will admit that I turned the game off in the third (if players like Hawkins clearly dont care, why should I?), and he got some junk time goals, but who really cares????

Funny game this AFL. If you're not focused, you can really pay for it. A lot of it is played above the shoulders. You guys were the better team on paper, but they wanted it just a bit more. I hope you don't take it out on us next week.

Not concerned that it is always the exact same script?
I'm not Tony Sure about that big d
s**t yes but not even the most passionate Essendon fan expected that
Think a lot of the Geelong ones did though.

Lol. Hawkins would be in our votes.
Is it September already? Man this year has flown
Exactly my points. JUNK time goals like usual
We need players who perform in the heat of the game if not forget it.
Look at todays game and see who played s**t when we needed them. Get rid of the shitiest and there are quite a few
good news. im going away on holidays for 4 weeks so wont be posting here much. Have fun.
Ps. thought touhy, henry and hawkins played well today.

This is your time to shine!
hawkins had 9 marks today and took 3 great contested marks in the first 3 qtrs. was one of our better players.
As I said, didnt watch the last quarter.....but what happened in the last is irrelevant.
If we view the match when it was actually a match, he was a disgrace!

Very typical for geelong to ignore what has worked for other teams against essendon and let their best players run free. Would like to single out the midfield as it all starts there, especially with the senior players there, but it was just bad all around, can't single out anyone as worse than someone else imo, crumbled under pressure.

Try and erase this one from my mind, legit the worst I’ve seen us play.
Move on to next week, 5-4 back in the pack......

Can't score for s**t, and the wins beforehand were due to defensive efforts, not us kicking a big score. Our smalls forwards are inexperienced, injury prone or just bad. Dropping Sav is a joke and reeks of arrogance.
I like how you erased the 80 point thrashing by Collingwood a while back. That was worse than this.

Not the end of the world it's just a snapshot of our finals game and Essendon managed to bring finals intensity.
Thought 2E was good. His marking and kicking the best it's been all year.
Kolo and Danger were good at times.
Tommy tried hard most of the game.
Don't get the point of Thurlow. In for his kicking but doesn't really use it.
Taylor in has just made us too tall again.
Smith no better than Stanley. Possibly worse.
Our midfield collectively were outworked and were just terrible under pressure.
Our small forwards in Gregson and Parsons not only not offer anything offensively but nothing defensively either.

Spot on dazbronco... Not necessarily unexpected... It's more typical of Geelong
Bad day against a team in crisis. It seems like the cats always seem to play the same week against a team in crisis.
Bounce and umpiring pretty much all going the way of the bombers...which could really be attributed to their superior work ethic. It’s still hard to understand the poor effort today when they should have expected the bombers to bounce back.

Barely kicked the ball near him in the first half.
It's when the pressure goes up we have players that just aren't desperate or frantic
Gregson, Ablett, Zac Smith, Kolo, Thurlow, Duncan, Menegola, Kelly, Blitz, Hawkins, Taylor, GHS don't ever want to seem to get down and dirty. Ever. All have strengths but their biggest weakness is intensity.
