No Oppo Supporters Geelong defeated by Richmond in PF by 19 points

I bet Hardwick is classy as always in his presser and praises us with genuine thoughts rather than the bullshit Scott dishes up in his.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Christ. First season and only 20yrs old. Yet you’re writing him off already?

not writing him off at all - but I will be surprised if he matches his 2019 efforts ... hope he does. Needs to bodyline the ball a bit more imo.

 

[And_ROOS]

I didn’t get to watch the game.

Who played on Lynch?

No one from the look of things. Blicavs on a wing, so often Lynch marked uncontested.

 

[Kingsfoil]

We wont make the 8 next year

Gee people have been saying that every year for how many years?

 

[SkittleCats]

Yes he destroyed possibly their most dangerous small forward. Good observation.

They have 3-4 dangerous smalls, stopping one while getting nothing back achieves nothing. O'Connor gives us nothing.

So he has areas where he can improve? So this year isn’t his ceiling then?

Losing legends Taylor and the GOAT, losing a star and possibly best player in Kelly, Selwood and Hawkins almost cooked yep next year is gonna be a ripping year.

Have a look at the 3rd quarter.

 

[GAsnr]

Mainly as a defensive mid or a second ruck. Def not an outside player. He has zero feel for it. He doesn't have a football background. So, he just stuffs up as a utility Mr fixit. He was doing great a FB

I think he was playing a defensive mid role though. He was just there to stop outside run. As I said, I agree he should’ve played back last week and this week, but I think our outs kind of forced our hand a bit. Who else would we have played there?

 

[David the Cat]

Miers our new Stevie Johnson wannabe - a cynical player who can at times be very good.

I'm not sure he'll ever butter up again as he did in 2019, nonetheless he redeemed his own finals series when question marks were mounting.

Tonight was Gryan's ceiling in a nutshell imo.

Question marks? Mounting? The kid was a revelation in his first year...another 22 possession effort tonight and was excellent in the first half....and never gave up throughout.

He'll play a lot of football for Geelong...more than just a small forward.

 

[Cursed Cat]

What could have been if we'd kicked straight when we were dominating

If we'd have pushed that lead out to 26 points (which we nearly did on numerous occasions) then I reckon we'd have been a better chance, percentage-wise ... reminded me of the game vs Brisbane.

 

[caitsith01]

He is mentally weak with zero game awareness. Your can't win finals with role players like him now. You need contributors who can read the play and know when to Take the game on. O'Connor can't do that.

At this point I will assume you didn't watch the game.

 

[Commando]

2013 we pissed it away in one quarter
2019 we pissed it away in one half

 

[cats_09]

So who was on rioli and Jack?

Kolo on Jack - although I did have a frustrating Geelong fan behind me with was yelling out stupid shot of all night, who at one stage yelled for Kolo to be taken off Lynch. He shut up when I said Taylor was in Lynch

Not sure on Rioli

 

[thegerman]

It's frustrating. I just knew Scott was going to try to do something he thinks is 'smart' and it was going to be costly.

Who played on Lynch?

Taylor for the majority. Lynch was too good, had him beat from the get go

For long stretches of time, no one.

Not sure what game you were watching how many times he ran it up the wing as overlapping run and stopped his man, probably 12 other teammates you point the finger at for not doing their job...

 

[ChappyUK]

A little bit of a changing of the guard coming over the next year or so. Some club legends to depart and a little bit of work at the trade table needed. Got some good kids and should get a couple more for Kelly. These things can go either way. I feel now is the time for a bit of a reload without panic stations.

I think with TK going we can really reload during trade week. Actually look forward to it more than the actual season which is just predictable.

Ok...

As I thought. Kolo bathed Jack.

we'll see DtC ... I like him, don't get me wrong - but he can play a cynical brand, and I've maintained on multiple occasions throughout this season that I wouldn't be surprised if this was his best evah season - time will tell - I hope he exceed the prognosis I hold for him.

 

[Kingsfoil]

We'll be fine, we lose legends every couple of years and keep in contention. It won't be any different next year, except perhaps we'll have a bit more speed - something we lack in some areas of the ground.

 

[Zeroman]

Scott seems intent on making Mark to be spelt with a 'c', Cark Blicavs.
How many others are going to Cark it coach?

The has got to be the worst take in this thread so far.
