Game Day Rd 8 Melbourne v Geelong Sat May 4th 730pm @ MCG

[Strange Cat]

Not the end of the world just one of those nights where there are too many passengers

Anyone thinking that they should take this tired team up to Darwin needs a rethink on that

 

[Pollywaffle]

Stanley is Gawns bitch

Stanley is everyone’s bitch ATM

 

[Reppie]

Cant win em all

 

[catstorm]

I don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water but this team has been disgusting tonight.

Some of the efforts beggar belief.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Stanley is a premiership player and I’ll always love him for that but his time is up.
Conway from now on please.

 

[Cataholic]

No

Jeremy Cameron cost us

A goal then still saw us lose.

The footy we dished up tonight, by all but a couple of players, has been abysmal.

It's on the team. Very few can hold their heads up.

The AFL world will be happy tonight. That we folded so easily will heighten their joy.

 

[Grimoz]

Absolutely atrocious

 

[kickazz]

Thank Christ that's over

 

[winty]

If the umpire was fair dinkum, Cameron would've been having that shot from the top of the square - the bloke who brought him down wasn't even in the marking contest.

 

[catters05]

There goes top spot

 

[Vdubs]

Time for Neale to come in for Cameron. Father Time waits for no one.

Serious?
Maybe for Hawkins.
JC has been awesome this year.
We can not rely on him and Danger weekly to get us up, and that is basically what has happened this year.
Reality check today.

 

[Stokey]

Bit frustrating but have to lose one eventually and at least it's close like this where we had our chances to win it.

Just a little off with our cleanliness which cost us.

On to next week.

 

[Grimoz]

Absolutely must beat Port next week and get Hawk back into form otherwise it might be an early bath for him

 

[Strange Cat]

Can’t lump it all on JC the team as a whole looked tired and unskilled saved a selected few

 

[Generalissimo]

Hawkins was 10000% better than Cameron tonight.

 

[Finknottle]

Cameron must have be smoking something. He wasn't interested in the first 3 quarters. Got going in the last but his vision was still impaired..

 

[cats_09]

Maybe we just played a better team that wanted it more and had plenty of recovery and preparation time for us.

Not sure Melbourne were really that good tonight though, or that what they showed would concern too many other teams

Both teams were poor, and it's just a pity we don't play them again during the season as think we'd comfortable turn the result around

 

[Vdubs]

There goes top spot

Good. There's only one place to go when you're on top in April or May.

 

[bombersboy]

Conway from now on please.

Stanley competed well.if you want to throw Rick’s atanyonesavethem for Duncan and Cameron

 

[catters05]

Can’t lump it all on JC the team as a whole looked tired and unskilled saved a selected few

Just his efforts were really poor as a leader.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Poor kicking is poor football, just they where less s**t at it then we where.

had more touches in that last quarter than Stanley had all match.

 

[Commando]

They kicked 5.0 in the last quarter
That's the game

I'm sure some of the stat nerds will give us some 'ifs' and 'buts' and there'll be those who continue to argue the concept of 'effort', but tonight was as blunt a counterargument as I've seen for a while.

No not serious.
