Autopsy Geelong defeated by Port by 16 points.

[Cursed Cat]

That "amazing track record" is ONLY in H & A. The finals track record under Scott is ABYSMAL!!!

was talking about Ablett ...

 

[catman2006]

He didn't play IN the forward line...he was dropping of Lycet creating an extra tall option, he was sneaking down ahead of the play...Hinkley fixed this after 1/4 time. But your point proves the FACT that permanent multiple talls in a forward line cause havoc for defenses.

I'm sick of this club! I'll be back when Scott leaves!

While we are all disappointed Sav wouldnt have changed much as they would have just rebounded the ball out quicker, our inability to lock the ball in our fwd50 hurt badly, and the pressure is on Scarlett as much as Scott to get the defence to rebound and attack better..

 

[Seeds]

Yes he is copping it...that's because most people on here actually know nothing about footy...especially the mods and the gatekeepers in here, you know the CHRIS SCOTT ENABLERS!!!!

The reason Hawk missed a lot tonight was simple...LOOK at where he had to lead to - the boundary line. WHY? Because there was NO OTHER KEY FORWARD to split the defense which would leave Hawk one-on-one more often in the middle of the ground. If I was Esava, I'd be talking to my manager about a transfer to another club...Geelong is not a club for tall forwards to thrive and prosper!!!

It's SOOOOO SAD watching the talent we have just get shafted by continual poor coaching. Scott, for some reason unknown, can not bring himself to play two talls in finals. And his record for that philosophy...4-12!!!

Time to GO Chris! Have a little more dignity than the moron running Victoria and fall on your sword!

We have missed the son of meto. And even meto. What happend?

 

[Down at K Park]

Hasn't really this year though; these are his metre gained stats this year:

Rnd 1 vs GWS: 13 disposals, 117 metres gained
Rnd 7 vs Coll: 12 disposals, 227 metres gained
Rnd 13 vs Crows: 13 disposals, 135 metres gained

Last night Kolo had 12 disposals & 134 metres gained

Across the season the average metres gained is:
Clark: 159.7 vs Kolo: 153.6
Clark in 2019 average 330.9

Average disposals:
Clark: 12.7 vs Kolo: 10.5

Average disposal efficiency:
Clark:70.9% vs Kolo: 77.1%

Average Clangers:
Clark: 3 vs Kolo: 1.6

Not really a lot between them this year when you start to break it down

The Collingwood game prior to his injury looked promising for Clark and would have been good to see where he went from there without the injury

He didn't look the same player when he returned for the Crows match - when he had opportunities to put the ball under the arm and break away from packs, he instead opted for 1m handballs to stationary teammates

One of the really telling stats from Clarks 3 games this year is that he had 0 bounces - last year he had 15 bounces in 18 games or 0.8 per game. He didn't run & carry the ball this year & didn't take a bounce.

It would have been good to see more of the Clark that we saw last year, but watching his few games this year he looked more hesitant. Sounds like he struggled a bit with the initial break early in the season, so hopefully during the upcoming offseason he can reset & recharge, and we get to see more of the season 1 Clark as we go into season 2021

Those injuries have really affected him. He needs to add a lot of muscle and get his confidence in his body back.

Will he need a shoulder op soon?

Chris Scott happened!!! I'm only here to tell you Enablers "TOLD YOU SO!!!!"

 

[dazbroncos]

A bit unlucky themselves? Wtf. They couldn’t miss. 17 scoring shots to 13. We won pretty much every stat.
How on earth were they unlucky?

Just his way of laying the boot in to GFC even more. Some is deserved, some is mayo like you'v called out.
SOP.

GO Catters

 

[Bangers and Mash]

Only chance is to bring in
Jordan clarke
Narkle
Not sure who else but plenty of omissions
Rohan/dalhaus/arkins/henry

The only players who have any chance of coming in next week are Steven, Sav & Close.
I just don’t see the MC giving Clark, Jenkins, Narkle or anyone else a game now unfortunately, when they haven’t looked to them for most of the year, and certainly not since they’ve started trying to settle the team over the last month.

 

[bellpark]

I think Joel is playing lame. Last night it was obvious he couldn’t chase and did not get to enough contested ball situations. When Port got the ball out it was very fast waves of running and he was out of it. Guthrie Atkins Parfitt and Danger were the only ones on the night who could get around the ground and get in and clear the ball. In the 3rd quarter we could not get the ball out much at all and when we did we had few numbers so the player who got it quickly kicked it _ mostly straight to Hartlett. we were exposed in that quarter for lack of pace and numbers in the contest. Miers was no help at all and is brushed aside in contests, it’s not a role he can play. We were done a bit by our traditional bad kicking for goal in the first half of finals but mainly due to our lack of pace and numbers at the contest in the third quarter.

 

[Seeds]

I appear to be in the minority but I didn't mind Rohan's game, he was quite crucial in that first half where we controlled the game, I recall a couple of contests that he prevented a defender from intercept marking (what we lacked for the Richmond game) and these don't count on the stat sheet. He passed the ball perfectly to Hawkins that should have lead to the Hawkins goal where Hawkins elected to snap and missed. He absolutely should have won the free (I think late in the 3rd or early 4th) where he was held onto in the 1 on 1 on the forward flank where it was a foot race. I rate his game better than Miers, Gaz and O'connor. The dew coming in really didn't help though, without dew he hangs onto one of those late game grabs.

No one ratEs sav for doing these things. Why should rohan get a pass?

 

[catman2006]

No, thank you for confirming you are a CHRIS SCOTT ENABLER and know nothing about footy

Nah but you are showing yourself up, school holidays will be over soon

 

[son of meto]

Another BOLD prediction...

Next week Chris Scott will add insult to injury by selecting Esava to play CHF.

Anyone want to take that bet???

 

[Overhang]

No one ratEs sav for doing these things. Why should rohan get a pass?

Because Rohan isn't a 1 dimensional player like Sav, Rohan is actually useful when the ball hits the ground, Rohan is also a much better kick

Yep. Confidence took a hit and didn’t really look the part this year. Would be tantamount to cruelty to bring him back for a cut throat final
A few more kgs and a solid pre season should see him back next season in what I hope is a very different looking side.

Sav takes contested marks. rohan doesnt. And Rohan isnt useful when the ball hits the deck otherwise he would get more then 8 touches a game.

 

[Pollywaffle]

BTW everybody seems to assume our next opponent will be Eagles.
Collingwood do travel well...

 

[Cursed Cat]

without looking at stats he was probably no worse than Miers, Dahlhaus or Atkins

thought both Dahlhaus and Atkins were better than Ablett on the night; Miers was poor, as someone else stated, his type of game is not conducive for Finals footy.

 

[frggr]

Parfitt was very good in the contest and by hand. His kicking is poor though. How on earth he managed to do a 10m snap to the behind post in the second quarter was beyond comprehension.

Yeah that was.... something

 

[Pollywaffle]

I reckon Joel will retire.

I think you are right. Looks cooked.

 

[son of meto]

Nah but you are showing yourself up, school holidays will be over soon

Yeah, working hard during the break. Look forward to seeing you there

I think we all should get together and have a Big Footy forum BBQ at Kardinia Park and announce ourselves. Be a lot of fun!

I reckon half of Geelong is on here...LOL

 

[cats_09]

Those injuries have really affected him. He needs to add a lot of muscle and get his confidence in his body back.

Will he need a shoulder op soon?

Not sure - obviously GC decided to send Rowell straight in for surgery after his dislocated shoulder & he's now back in pre-season training already (saw something about that during the week)

Hoping that Clark's isn't too bad and he can maybe get away without needing surgery, it doesn't seem like he had further issues with it after the intially indecent (like I haven't heard of it popping out again)

But if he does need surgery then I wish it was done before now - guessing it would likely keep him out for a couple of months & having surgery now would surely delay his return to preseason training.

 

[Cursed Cat]

I reckon Joel will retire.

really?
I reckon he'll hang around until he is pushed ... one of my fave-ever players but his time has come - thought he had a good 1st half last night, but the midfield needs fresh legs.

 

[son of meto]

Sav Is going.
narkle is going
constable is going
cocky is going.

why?
cos we play dour poirs with limited talent invclose, atkins, simpson, fogarty, dalhaus instead.

Yeah, that is sad. Sav, Narkle are massive talents.

Constable still unknown for mine.

Cocky is done unfortunately

But, I wouldn't be surprised if they all looked elsewhere.

 

[Warhorse]

IN other news, Ratugolea considering move to St.Kilda!!!

What?

I think he will leave when his contract is up then retire and go into coaching
