Review Geelong tries its best to lose and finds a way to stagger to a 4 point win over Demons

[BennyGan]

Parf, Kolo, Dunc and Guth, take a bow. Everyone else, get f*cked. I have never enjoyed a win less. If Clark can't get back in next week after that plodding mess, then the coaching staff/selectors have truly lost the plot. I really hate watching us play now.

I’d chuck Joel in there too, he was serviceable

 

[DangerHere]

Reality is we don’t have the list we did,

but that last 10 mins was woeful and we should have lost it in that last 40 secs.

I don’t know what the answer is but we aren’t the team we used to be.

Same old, same old, bring some kids in please.

PLEASE !!!!

Tom atkins 1 disposal for the entire game.

Yep narkle definately should of been dropped.

Early in the first quarter Atkins was listed as injured on the afl App

 

[Xcat]

That kick backwards into our defensive 50 with 2 minutes to go that resulted in a goal

FFS Stevens ... I almost wanted to lose at that point huge couch beatings occured

Wasn't that Hawkins?

 

[BigCat1]

Away wins a win against a full strength Melb. Kolo and Parf showed some really good signs. All the kids worked hard but made mistakes but ran relentlessly. Blitz played an underrated game.

Like to see some pace and decision making injected into the team across all lines

Clark into the backline
Two of Fogerty/Narkle/ Cocky into the mids fwd.

Bews did nothing wrong but did his usual nothing offensively. Atkins just needs to go. I mean com on.

 

[Cataholic]

Worst game ive ever watched.

Well done on the win.

It was bloody atrocious, and of little joy tbh.

 

[The_Todd07]

I know there's shortened quarters but I just watched a Geelong team win by scoring only 47 points in perfect conditions.
Certainly not playing the game as it should be played

 

[BennyGan]

Observations...

Ablett's contested work and ability to keep his feet is nothing short of phenomenal
Number 2 umpire is up there with Stevic and Nicholls for worst in the AFL
Rohan is not a footballer
Steven needs a month in the reserves
O'Connor is not to blame for that sh*te at the end. That's a result of him doing the chippy chippy he's instructed to do by an inept coach
Guthrie probably bog
Tuohy offers nothing to this team
Bayley Fritsch has an enormously punchable head
Oliver tied with Sicily for biggest flog in the AFL
Jack Henry is a very good footballer
This gameplan will not win the VFL premiership, let alone AFL

Henry is probably the most frustrating footballer wouldn’t say he’s very good. Still makes so many errors. That spoil on Tmac was class though.

 

[Cronin]

I'm glad the commentators are asking questions after Geelong's win. Cam Mooney in particular

Won't matter cause the MC don't give a shit about what anyone else thinks, it's their way or the highway.

 

[BigCat1]

Against Gawn that's about all we can hope for & adequate

Stanley has played really well on him in the past. Look Fort was the backup. Tried hard but he should never be first choice if we are still debating it.

 

[allrighty]

Scott is good at the tough talk, but always fails to follow through.

All bark no bite.

I'm sorry but I will say it. He is a charlatan. He is a w***er. Tough talk but no follow through. The club needs a huge reset or a bloody cleanout.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Today was a tactical win for Chris Scott. He set up to negate Melbourne and it worked.

A bee's dick - some 50/50s, a goal rather than a behind - and Melbourne win today. He succeeded in negating their scoring while this team has no capacity of its own to score. I don't consider those sound tactics. Making low-scoring contests out of games against average teams would seem more like a hallmark of a Ross Lyon side when they were struggling, and who the hell wants that?

Tom atkins 1 disposal for the entire game.

Yep narkle definately should of been dropped.

I didn't like dropping Narkle but Atkins was pretty clearly injured early. Was moving at a quarter pace.

 

[FredLeDeux]

I'm just trying to remember the names of all those people on here who told me that Steven would be a good replacement for Kelly.

I have 12 Bridges to sell them.

 

[hamG]

I read about 50 pages of my book during that game

 

[BennyGan]

Does Harry come back in for Stewy? Can’t think of anyone else that could slot into the backline. Jordy is basically a winger now.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

They’ll go Taylor for Stewart and pretend there’s nothing else required.

We knew that pre-game.

Scarlo was clear that Clark has stuff to work on and Constable is behind guys in the team.

Joel, Mitch and Patrick aren't getting dropped.
Guthrie was near BOG.
Menegola had over 20 touches and yes was scratchy as ****, but no worse than numerous Danger performances with low skills.

He has no chance to come in, maybe not even Narkle either.

 

[cats_09]

I didn't like dropping Narkle but Atkins was pretty clearly injured early. Was moving at a quarter pace.

Only had 50% TOG also - clearly something not right, but maybe played out the match to give an extra rotation on the bench after the 2 man bench for most of last week

 

[BennyGan]

At least the eagles pick is looking good right now lol

 

[OddYears]

Well that was 2018 flashbacks all over again. Absolutely putrid to watch. Slow, boring, predictable, with skills of Auskick. Left feeling nothing.

 

[Catsnlakers]

That performance was every bit as bad as last week, getting 4 points for it doesn’t change that fact, we’re dead ordinary atm.....Narkle has to return next week & be left in the team.

 

[mcwilrob]

We are sh*t.

No no no - we are *total* sh*t!!!

 

[cats_09]

Seems Clark has been training with the defensive unit - hard to know though where they see him long term

 

[calder_daddy]

Good to see we aren’t the only ones able to name a “best player” from either team

 

[Seeds]

Here is an idea. We dont need another defender. Play an extra attacking player.

I know its out there.
