Don’t think it was just a lack of respect- have you seen Brissy’s last 6 weeks? Not exactly convincing. They turned up tonight and if they play like this of course they will give the flag a shake. But that form hasn’t been there lately. It’s a funny old season- who knows how things will go.

I find the insistence upon analysing this loss as if there's some kind of "deeper" meaning other than skill execution and conversion to be pretentious. It's like people dislike looking at those factors because they're "too obvious" or something.
Sometimes the truth is boring. Sorry!

Feels like we were almost denied a game of footy tonight.
Had vaseline on our boots from the get-go and simply couldn't win kicking the way we did.
Didn't really learn much. Brisbane are a good outfit and defended us well.
Next time we play this mob....CS best use whoever Andrews is playing on as a decoy.
We can't kick it near him no matter what. Neale gets wrecked by these big strong defenders and is made to look like a guy who just posts gym pics in the preseason and doesn't actually lift.
We looked tired... Maybe it's a good time to cop a bye.
I'm not overly concerned about losing... Just didn't happen for us on this occasion.
Also think getting Brisbane after a couple of losses was stiff timing... They were due.

What a frustrating game.
Harris Andrews gets out muscled in a contest and gets free kicks for falling over.
Neale gets the same treatment and it's play on.
The good thing about Geelong is you know within 5 minutes of the first bounce what you're going to get.
Dangerfield trying too hard for the "fairytale". Dog shit efforts all around.
You can pick wily old Duncan against young, inexperienced teams. You can't pick him against Brisbane.
That Ollie Henry came on for a quarter and got more of the ball than nearly half the team speaks volumes.
J Henry saved us from a 10 goal shellacking, COS played well and Mullin blanketed Charlie Cameron.
Geelong were outworked and outplayed from the first bounce.

Yep we've had a few poor games this year. Generally pretty good in the rest. Similar to 2024, we will be worried about the prospect of turning up flat for a final or having a horror quarter.

Because people are inclined to wonder why that lack of skill execution came to be.
20 of 23 footballers just forgetting how to play football at the same time is rare, and a mighty coincidence.
I don't think anyone is suggesting some grand conspiracy, just that if you're 5% off in this competition (whatever the reason for that may be) then this is what occurs.
It’s mid June, it ain’t that deep into the year, in fact this is the time weird performances occur

It's like 18 players had a group amnesia tonight and completely forgot how to play footy.
Bizarre.
Understandable to be pissed with that one but at the end of the day we played a team coming off two disappointing losses and we were coming off 5 in a row and a massive kill last week.
Thats our mulligan for the year.
We were horribly off early and butchered F 50 entries and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in the second half. Reckon 3-4 goal loss was more like it and I'll take that based on how shit we played.
Regroup after the bye and aim for top 4 , we are definitely not out of it based on that game.

Close is barely contributing. I would bring in Clohessy. Clohessy is a bigger body and his tackling pressure would make a difference.
Mullin gave Cameron a bath tonight, and O'Connor has been among our best most weeks. Do you even watch the games, or do you just take a quick glance at the stats sheet?
2-3 goal is probably where it should’ve been, we not only butchered set shots we uncharacteristically took the wrong options and butchered opportunities when we took the right ones. Completely off

One loss and the media stinks the boots in and not about the loss but rather the white shirts

Well said. Their defence was fantastic. They just never allowed us any clear entries, or failed under defensive pressure out of our forward line, that attack had been working so well for us. Writing on the wall first quarter when because of their pressure and early goals, we were slow and overthinking every kick, missing almost leads, a vacant midfield, and no plan and farking around and getting intercepted. My worst player was Close, infantile mistakes for a player of his experience.
Very very smart coaching by their wily old chewbacca, gave our strengths plenty of thought and his troops stuck like glue and stifled us.

Over to body language specialist, Dr Cal Ligman of ‘Lie to Me’. . .
Unusually awkward, with darting eyes + agitated shoulders. Gor first five seconds of his presser, he was squirming.
Scott was able to put aside turmoil + seamlessly switch to professional mode.
Straight into his groove.
“You’ve heard me say for 15 years. . .
Well, if you need a milestone to try, then you’re not a true professional.”
“They were sharp tonight + we were the opposite.”

There defence was ok, Harris Andrews played well, I think it was more our entries were either the wrong option or kicked like crap.. again, uncharacteristic on evidence to date
If Essendon were very easy to play against last week, Brisbane were quite hard to play against.
Sure we butchered it heaps but they were impressive when they didn't have the ball. They do push the legalities though around the mark, I think we got 3 fifties and it should have been more.
But aside from that they defended well, and ran well forward for the cheapies when we fluffed it. It was not unlike the Carlton game in that regard

The second most disposals he's had in a game this season - only behind the 12 he collected against Port
I replied to Daz during the match that maybe he did get a rocket over the past fortnight; he was starting on the wing, working back deep into defence and then into attacking positions
Not sure where things necessarily go from here, but hopefully he takes some positives from tonight as he really did provide something when he came on
We got beaten tonight and it is not the end of the world, they are a very good team at their best!
The way they beat us looked like how we play when we are in control and our possession is at its cleanest.
They bounced off the half back found different angles and uncontested marks and came in at times direct and at other times unpredictable angles as well. Well played Brisbane and well done Tom Atkins you have been inspirational this year.
