Autopsy Argh Bugger - Tigers by 24

[Generalissimo]

because they just hooted the umpires in the 2nd half

Was this the game that was so horrendously and one-sidedly umpired that they had to wheel out Razor Ray later to tell everyone that Collingwood should have got even more free kicks?

 

[Finknottle]

Parfitt is better than he is being portrayed here. He didn't have a good game against Richmond but a lot of players were in the same boat. He might have slowed down a bit and sometimes he second guesses himself. That is related to confidence. He is clearly liked within the club which is why Chris Scott

sang his praises. He is still young, I wouldn't be giving up on him. I was critical of Kolodjashnij for a number of years but he has turned it all around.

Dempsey looked like his shots for goal needed to be inside 40 metres as he he reminded me of Dalhous in his range

He will get better. Dalhaus just lost distance as he got older.

I slightly disagree on this one but what I would say is the hyper-critical focus on him has been misguided. The blame for the loss was on the top 15 players in our squad Friday night. Parfitt even as his old self would probably be in the bottom 8.

Parfitt is not the reason they loss , however his form considering the competition for his spot has many questioning should he be given priority over a younger player

I hope he turns it around we need all the players we can get for the run towards finals

Wasn’t his first shot from about 40m? Near dead in front. Dreadful miss for an opportunist nonetheless.

 

[cats_09]

We have only played two teams in the 8 and we are 1-1!

Then pesky facts...

 

[CHAWKTS]

Yep. A bad miss. I was right in line with it…Perfectly straight kick…just wrong line. Like most of my putts…

I bet he kicks those at 95% at training but first time on big stage? He wasn’t alone though as was 5 goals 9 behinds from the other more seasoned players in the first half?

If I’m guessing the b&f order.

If you check the cumulative MVP votes submitted by Geelong Board voters (MVP - Cumulative MVP Votes for 2023 Season; After Round 8 v Crows, Cameron well clear) the top 5 performers after Round 8 are as follows...

Cameron
Danger
Blicavs
Holmes
Stewart

Believe it or not, the voters on this Board end up pretty close to the Carji outcome. In 2021 the MVP votes on this Board were a mirror image of
the final B&F order.

I agree. Parfitt has been out of form all season and not playing well in the VFL, yet many on this board expected him to come into the team and overnight rediscover his form in a weakened Geelong midfield and squad.
Who knows why he has lost confidence, and Scott will not give up on him just yet.

And this is why Cameron, Blicavs and Holmes having down games on the weekend was so critical to the result. Minus Dangerfield those were the ones we were going to rely on along with Stewart (who I thought overall was good but plenty have marked him down a fair bit too).

 

[CatToTheFuture]

One of the positives is we've still got both Port Adelaide and the Dogs twice each. If those are the main competitors for 4th then winning those 4 games goes a long way to getting us there.

The old 8 point turnarounds. Nice

From my bias observation, Miers looks criminally underrated on his output so far this season

Even across the season to date, reading comments around the place (not specific to here) there's some that still mark him down due to his kicking style & question his place in the 22

And I hope the opposition do the same. So keep it quiet.

My favourite comment that I still read about him,

"Send him back to the VFL until he learns to kick properly"

Like seriously, do those making comments like that not watch our games and how effective he actually is with his kicking & hitting up teammates

Over the course of the season I reckon it will. Gut feel is this board is underrating Miers a little bit.

Kolo is structurally critical and we dont have many options to play his role (much as its hard to admit).

Parfitt is not structurally critical and we have a lot of options for his role so he cant be given the same amount of time that kolo was to turn it around, no matter how much he is liked.

 

[gogeelongcats]

The old 8 point turnarounds. Nice

And they are both hitting their straps and playing very well. I would rather be playing the lower ranked sides

 

[Mr Meow]

And they are both hitting their straps and playing very well. I would rather be playing the lower ranked sides

Why? If everyone is winning against lower ranked sides you make up ground much slower. A close to full strength side beating a series of teams around 4th-10th is the very best case scenario.

Did anyone see comment in the media about Dusty's blatant push in the back against MOC?

Not many comments about his BOG performance either. He still has it at times- pity, often against us.

Martin wasn't BOG though

Atkins worked hard, but I reckon Duncan was pretty stiff.

Would have thought Balta was more important than Rioli too.
