The missing of free kicks was putrid. Ablett and that flopping fish dangerfield do not have dropping the ball/incorrect disposal given against them ever. The afl dirty that bradley got the old heave ho and when up against his all knowing brothers team, well, the powers that be had to do something to appease the Scotts. We stunk, shat decisions coming out of the backline, duff handballs, shanks, hacks and and fumbles. Jye will probably get 2 for tackling that ******* dangerfield who flopped around after the tackle. Meh.
Call me masochistic but was that our lowest score in 150 years or just since we joined the VFL?

I watched the Wallabies win and it was ******* mint.
Both teams soaked up a tonne of pressure for the first 45 minutes.
Jack doesn’t get the block etc. and 10 minutes later they’ve got a mini-break that was worth 4-5 goals at Marvel heading into half time.
Those blaming Shaw are morons. You change a game plan in the off-season, but can tweak during the season proper.
What killed us was momentum (due to umpiring howlers) but more importantly, our deplorable skills. The amount of times we hit them lace out, either from direct kicks or from rushed hacks forward was astonishing.
Can't blame the coach for stupid, panicked players
Anyone blaming the umpires should probably consider the following;
- we repeatedly kicked the ball across defensive goal, absolutely insane in wet weather
- we kicked it down their throats no less than 800 times (or so it felt at the ground at least)
- KP probably too narrow to hug the line like we do at Marvel (but we persisted with this anyway)
- we looked shot, down on confidence and down on enthusiasm from the outset
Spot on.
I'm completely calm / meh about this game and when I read the posts from the supporters who are trembling with rage about the "lowest score ever", I'm wondering if I'm doing it right.
But for two diabolical decisions at the end of the 2nd quarter, we would have gone into the break in front. Might have completely changed the game dynamic. As it happened, we couldn't have been worse in the second half, but so what? Always a hard ask to win on that crap heap, especially given the caning they copped all week. Was far more of a must-win for them than for us.
I also don't care about the next two games. We'll finish where we finish and reload in 2020.
Possibly the most worrying.
Melbourne had a season of frenzied football last year... now look at them.
People hate the term "structure" but when the chips are down you need to have something you can rely on. Did we have that today?
We had an excellent structure right up to the Ziebell incident.

Lowest score is only important for one reason : every team has one. Now we move on
Nope, just saying it was always gonna be. PotatoYeah the AFL waited till Brad got sacked to give Geelong a free reign of great umpiring decisions when they play us.
Very disappointing night
On a positive note we can still finish 13th with 10 wins in the bottom 6 one game out of the 8
That would be a great result
Guarantees an easy draw for next year and good draft pick

No doubt, both poor decisions, but the Goldstein free was as soft as they come. There were plenty of calls that went against Geelong, and North clearly got more soft frees.
I was just surprised by the response on here.
A structure that yields 14 points is not one I'm fond of.
