Josh Hunts Poor Form

[peter_ford]

What? Does this make any sense to anyone? Seems like he's fallen down our side of the argument.

from memory, we were playing without some very good players vs. sydney but they would have been back the following week.

Tell me what the difference is between:

-A forward missing an easy set shot in front of goal
-A midfielder turning the ball over, which costs a goal
-A defender losing his man in a tight pack situation, which causes a goal

NOTHING!! They all cost goals, whether it be directly or indirectly. Its just that tunnel visioned morons like yourself need this spelled out to them.

lol settle down tough guy... take a chill pill or go to a strip joint and crack a $t1ff or something.

i dont rate josh hcampaigner and many others probably don't as well. if you do, im fine with that but lets move on.

i still regard hunt's mistake on nick davis as bad as jim styles' one. there are just times when you CAN'T afford to make mistakes, that was one of them and no Geelong supporter should EVER forget it!

Have you ever seen a game of football?

I'm guessing not.

The response I expected... Irrational like everything else you post.

Why don't we all blame Gary Snr for our grand final lossess? He played $hithouse in all but '89. Wouldn't you consider those to be times when "you CAN'T make mistakes"? I don't need a chill pill bud, you need something to back up this rubbish you post.. Come back at the beginning of next season, maybe you've learned something about the game.

No one is denying he's currently out of form. It happens to even the best. But at his best, he's a very important part of our best 22. Stop changing the subject - you brought up the 2005 Semi-Final. We are disagreeing with your ridiculous statements there, not his current form.

St Kilda would have beaten us in the PF in 2005. Had we somehow have stolen that game from somewhere, the Eagles would have mercilessly flogged us.

We were so far away from a flag that year it isn't funny.

if you disagree with me, that's fine. i stand by statements.

They are fundamentally wrong.

Why is that, we outperformed the eventual premiers on their own ground for most of the match, with an undermanned side to boot, so why would we have to "steal" the match from St Kilda or get flogged by the Eagles?

Not saying we would have won the flag, just that your assessment seems a bit harsh.

I have to agree that we would have lost to the saints. Sydney were a good match-up for the saints back in '05 as the saints played a very open game, while Sydney are Sydney... flooding / stoppages.

With the injuries we had (from memory all the talls + Chapman) we would have been at incredibly long odds to win 2 in a row against Saints / West Coast.

 

[Cattery]

They are fundamentally wrong.

Not completely, technically you could make the argument, as PF has done, that if Hunt had done his job properly and manned up on Davis, he wouldn't have kicked the goal that cost us the game, ergo Hunt is responsible for us losing.

Personally I don't subscribe to that theory, you can't blame one incident in a hundred and twenty minutes of footy for a loss; I reckon the truth falls somewhere in the middle of the opposing views here, while that one incident isn't the sole reason we lost, Hunt can't be absolved of all blame as some here seem to be doing, he was given a task and failed miserably, simple as that.

Kinda agree, not saying we would have won the flag but think we were a good chance against the Saints, with their style of game being more suitable to the Cats then that of the Swans actually, yet we were very unlucky to lose to them on their own ground.

Not sure about the injuries or who we may have regained to be truthful.

We were spent - Kingy was injured, as was Chappy, Riccardi, and a few more from memory (Nablett as well).

St Kilda would have overrun us, even taking into account their problems.

The only thing that stopped West Coast from being the 2005 premiers was Sydney's determination and will. They would have comfortably accounted for St Kilda/Geelong in the GF.

Guess we'll never know, and you could be right, as I stated above I can't really recall the injury situation, or who we may have regained [ or lost ] for the following week, just that given the Saints propensity for under-performing when it really counted we were in with a chance, but that's water under the bridge now I guess.

That's only half of his argument.

The other part is that he cost us a spot in the Grand Final.

Fundamentally wrong.
