crappest team to make finals in the last 20 years.
They're 55-8 at GMHBA since 2012 and 70-53-2 everywhere else.
It's a weird shaped ground that nobody else seems to be able to play except for the Swans (who've beaten them 3 times). The Cats train on the ground multiple times a week and then play 7-9 games a year there. They've mastered it's unique dimensions and their game plan suits it.
They've been an average team away from the Cattery since 2012 and it shows up in finals when they can't play there.
I couldn't believe that they didn't play Stanley.
An absolutely farcical decision.
Scott watches too much Ross Lyon, tried to semi troll in his pressers now. Like his brother he can’t help but use an excuseA tad prem. Qf losers usually revert to form the next week, and then the discussion changes radically.
I wouldnt write the Cats off, but Scott gets too cute fiddling under the hood when the engine was running okay. He is like that in his inrerviews too: everything is too complex and he is all muddled up. He was a pretty low IQ player, it is now necessary for the cats that he learns this immediately and stops behaving like he is a Wittgenstein.

Geelong need to get a new everything, crappest team to make finals in the last 20 years.

Every year Geelong get into finals because of their special home ground and every year they lose finals. It's an anomaly of our great game.Despite this mediocre team getting a free ride every year, Chris Scott blames the AFL ,the weather ect , and football is the poorer for it.
When will the AFL act to rid this team of their unfair advantage that ruins the finals every year? Chris Scott has done a good job pretending they are persecuted, but the real elephant in the room is the free 8 wins given to Geelong every year on their cheat ground.
Hey Geelong, take a leaf out of West Coast's book and get some normal ground dimensions .
Spot on. Footy's a simple game played in plain view, but Scotty pretends that it's rocket science. Going to Harvard on one of those backslapping quickie courses was the worst thing that could have happened to this at heart ordinary decent bloke. He's turned into a faux intellectual who can't answer a straight question and he's constantly trying to make what he has in terms of players and resources fit a theory which is utterly opposed to the club's ethos. That theory was horribly exposed last night as it is every year. He needs to start working out what has consistently gone wrong in the past if he wants to improve, not just live in hopeless denial.A tad prem.

during the H&A the players didn’t have to hear their coach bitch & moan at every chance he gets about not playing at GMHBA for 2 weeks straight though.
I think theres something in it. The sooking surely does not help.

As much as I've ragged on him his entire career - I'm actually feeling a bit of pity for old mate Joel.
Has lost of a lot of pace. Was never 'quick' but now he look outright slow. Still has the same intent but just can't impact the contest. They've got him playing 5 metres off the pack but that wasn't working last night.
Hawkins has had a huge season but in finals needs someone to pave some space for him. Darcy Moore had a picnic while Roughead scragged Hawkins.
They've patched the side up really well (Tuohy is a great pickup, Zac Smith a great pick up, Rohan has played a role but ffs you can't treat him like a serious second forward option) but the midfield is the hardest to restump. The cats have done well to ease out Bartell, Johnson, Kelly, and all those guys. From key roles, to side roles to traded out. But the midfield is just damn hard to replace.

He is actually resembling Lyon more and more with the failed, defeatist game plan.Scott watches too much Ross Lyon, tried to semi troll in his pressers now. Like his brother he can’t help but use an excuse
That 3-8 in finals is now 3-10, and they’ve got the reigning premiers next week.
Five top 4 finishes in that time.
A straight sets exit from top spot would surely raise some major questions...?
It’s quite strange really, they look so good throughout the H&A season.

Yeah your game plan is very boring and average. But to me, the fumbles, players running into each other signalled a team that weren’t focused. Especially early. Sure the pressure was on from Pies, but yous should have expected that. Looked like yous wouldve rather be an hr down the highway.What I will say is that the defensive, slow game style we've used post mid season bye is definitely more suited to KP. It can give big wins.
Our wins at the 'G this year saw fast ball movement. Then the second time we played Hawthorn we went slow and lost. Go figure.
Winning finals are about taking the game on, being prepared to make mistakes but knowing your opposition will too, and just keep taking it on. Cats haven't done it for months.
Worst to finish on top - Maybe. But, definitely not the worst to make finals. Not even the worst this year... Essendon made it remember?Geelong need to get a new everything, crappest team to make finals in the last 20 years.

Quick question.
When does Scott come under some sort of pressure?
Is he that protected by Geelong and the media?
I honestly don't pay too much attention to Geelong anymore so apologies in advance if there is a simple answer to the above.
