Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Sauce's job when he goes into the defensive 50 is to be the goal keeper, to get back and try and fist or mark the long bomb. It two of stanley's leads were caused by midfielders not dropping back into the hole.
Tonight just highlights how much we miss Danger.
Could've used his explosiveness and line breaking tonight.
Crouch will get there - but he's not yet.
Smith used to be one of the best in the league - he's not anymore.
Who are are linebreaking/gamebreakers?
It's been Atkins actually. He was horrendous tonight and has a long way to go. Like him a lot but goes missing in these games.
Who would have thought 2 months ago one this game was ever in the win column ?
And then ask yourself why it wasn't
People who are whinging about %:
We are the ONLY team in the AFL who are yet to play either of the Lions or Bombers... and we have them at home for the next 2 weeks.
Our % will be fine!
Yea, who would you expect to be the drop off defender; Lever, Hendo?
And this should...make us feel better?Five losses at an average of 14 points. Even a five goal loss isn't a flogging - hell we've won by more and many in here have claimed it to be a pathetic win. We played crap, we lost. Most of us had this pegged as a loss for months. Time to reset and make the most of the next two games.
Interesting? .......when was the last time we saw Smith streaming thru the midfield bouncing the ball & delivering a 55mtr pass inside 50 .....been a few weeks ?Tonight just highlights how much we miss Danger.

For what it's worth - the Western Bulldogs gave us a 50 point thumping in Adelaide 2 weeks before finals in 1997.
We know the history in the finals.
They also gave us a 12 goal thumping in 1998.
Finals are a very different game. They are very unpredictable.
this sounds slightly more optimistic than I'm prepared to be, but ultimately you're right.For what it's worth - the Western Bulldogs gave us a 50 point thumping in Adelaide 2 weeks before finals in 1997.

Walker has never, ever been a big contested mark. That is ALL I'm saying.A key forward that doesnt need to take contested marks or kick bags of goals.
And people get into Jenkins.
Oh, you're back. Yay. I don't care what you do. You can choose to continue to live in misery or you can be a realist. If the games were on the same oval or in the same conditions you might have a point. They weren't. Could be an anomaly or we could be simply not good enough. Either way, it's not the end of the ******* world.And this should...make us feel better?
What a joke. 8 in a row, Geelong's form patchy, our "best 22", and we dish that up? Did we learn nothing from Round 8? We had 2 months to try and correct the issues from that night, or at least try and implement things should our plan A fail to work, and yet we were again thoroughly outplayed and our game plan exposed.
But I guess we should be all smiles because we have two disgraceful teams in the next two weeks, which will really give us a true indication of where we're at.
Royally pantsed = 5 goal loss?I think most people thought we'd atleast make a contest with it, and that, whilst we werent favourites we might have had a chance of pinching it.
Instead, we got royally pantsed. Please show me the consensus that this would occur?
Even the 'we can't expect to win games' mob can't spin this as not performing below expectation.
Would anything have changed had we won?We are not the best side in the Comp but we are a contender. Nothing changes after last night.
We are going to Rocket home.Some people true colours come out after a loss and they find it very easy to start bagging Tex.
Looks like nothing will change from the VB days as captain and whoever gets the job next, he will get the same treatment. We really do eat out own.
Awesome bunch if supporters this club has.
You're not passionate. You're insane

Yeah I don't mind this loss. We can roll back from it and discover ways to extract.Some need a rocket based on their posting.
But it's not season over by any means.
