Opinion Why is Geelong such a soft team these days?

[Bobby_]

Seriously, I could run through about a half a dozen highlights from tonight's game which showed our players second guessing themselves to attack the footy.
If it's not upto Dangerfield or Selwood, it's left to the oldest blokes on the pitch (as it's been since 2012).

What is the go?

Can we get a change from individuals or does Wells and co need to look at recruiting some hard nosed youngsters who are brought up playing a physical brand of footy, ala Bartel, Corey and Kelly?

Whilst I agree, we won, let it go.

If our game plan of kicking backwards, sideways and backwards works in September I'll drop my strides.

It doesn't help when Nicholls umpires either.

Cockatoo and McCarthy are two youngsters who hit the ball and man pretty bloody hard. Bews, Cowan and Ruggles also. Caddy is also one who doesn't mind some physicality, and Menegola in his two games and at VFL level has shown he doesn't mind the gritty stuff. There's a lot more to being a tough player than puffing up the chest and walking around like you own the joint like that clown Stringer tried to do.

Go down and ask one of the players that.
Please post pics from ER.

So essentially, what you're saying is that Bobby's post about Geelong being soft is completely wrong?

Yeah, our 8-2 record against fellow top 8 sides (average winning margin of five goals) is disappointing.

Glad to see a win in a milestone game brings on such a positive reaction.

Seriously, if you reach too far, your arm is going to get stuck in your small intestine and you will contaminate all the good bacteria there - which is really important for the final stages of digesting food. Seriously.
