Game Day Round 17, 2019: Geelong v St.Kilda *NEWNES' 150TH*

[cooperrules]

Rebuild around clark marahall and king

 

[aussierulesrules]

He couldnt care less

You and VDS are absolutely obsessed with the bloke!

 

[DT_35]

Don’t reckon Richo Is that bad a coach. Not nearly as bad as some of you blokes make him out to be. We have some s*** players that can’t hit targets is half the problem

 

[plugger66]

I think even as a 2nd year tall he will still be a good foil to Bruce. We are struggling at the moment with him as the only true tall.

He won’t hurt but if we don’t get better mids it will be tough.

 

[Pardon me]

First half was so good - second half was less than ideal.
1 goal after half time is not afl standard.
The more Acres plays the less I want him at the club.
Dmac played a shocking game.
Coff, Clark, Roma, Steele , Dunstan and Brown our best.
If we can play a full game like the first half we’ll win more than a few in the next few weeks.

 

[Crusty Undies]

DMAC was better than Acres one assist a fluke was the only thing he did.

DMAC tried and checked Stewart. Acres did bugger all was hopeless.

Trade him PLEASE. Might get a third.

Checked Stewart? Gimme a break Joffa he had 21 touches, 18 kicks and 6 contested possessions. If that's what you call checking I'd hate to see him loose. Acres also kicked our only 2nd half goal. I repeat, our ONLY 2nd half goal.

Edit: only last quarter goal.

 

[plugger66]

Don’t blame him, with how bad our coaching has been over the years

At least we are not Gold Coast. Lost by 95

Not true on that last point, Bruce kicked one as well.

Come on. Really basing it on a goal. Wowee

While Clark, Steele, Dunstan, Marshall, Wilkie bust a gut, says everything I reckon

 

[Premium]

Dunstan was mighty fine tonite

 

[Indie Rock]

Well that is true. Can only hope a few players improve over the off season.

Which we have been saying every year for a while now.

 

[Mowman]

Anyhow got a sudden urge to watch that old cartoon Foghorn leghorn

He was better than Acres, you cant see past your blind hatred is all.....

Reckon tonight was pure Richo Saints. Competitive but dour, low scoring, conservative football without any real chance of winning. Of course the shite skills don't help but we are just not enjoyable watch.

 

[Mowman]

Dunstan was mighty fine tonite

His best run of games for along time

 

[Hayes4PM]

He couldnt care less

He's looked all out of sorts this year. And most of last year to be honest. I understand his frustration in part; played as a ruck, a forward and sometimes as a mid. He just needs a single role and some clarity, he's never had a role he was able to work on for an extended period of games at AFL level.

But just looks like he's going through the motions now, really frustrating. If Hannebery was back next week I'd be bringing him in for Sinclair or Acres. Both just struggling.

So we were in front at half time but no chance of winning. Some people. Really.

 

[Crusty Undies]

LOL. How was he better than Acres Joff? I don't think Acres had a good game but he had more touches than dmac, more goals, more assists, more contested possessions, less frees against and his direct opponent had less influence so I'd in fact argue that your hatred of Acres is blinding you.

 

[Keg on legs]

Did anyone actually think we would get that close or play as well as we did?
They exceeded all my expectations tonight considering I was expecting a 90 point loss and zero fight.

+1

Dont want to accept mediocrity or be an apologist, but I was expecting a ten goal + loss. I actually reckon we showed spirit and some structure

We didn't do everything great, but we didn't do everything shyte either.

As much as some would hate it... maybe some credit to Richo?

Who was he playing on. This should be interesting

 

[Premium]

A lot to like tonight - Marshall , Wilkie , Hunter Clark , Coffield and Long all showed they are players of the future

 

[triggering bro]

Still hasn’t signed a contract

 

[hangdog]

He just needs a single role and some clarity, he's never had a role he was able to work on for an extended period of games at AFL level.

Had that role to start last season. He dominated in the mid and then got injured. Came back and was chucked forward. Bizarre
