What happened????

Can someone tell me what happened out there today? Nothing pisses me off more than losing to a crap side. Aside from maybe Rocca, Chrissy, O'Bree and Presti there was just nobody else settled at all today. Rupes shouldn't have been left on Bizzell for so long. Both coaching and player performance today just disappointed me so much. I HATE THIS FEELING!!!!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!! What happened Indeed!! How on earth can we be considered a "Genuine" chance to play in finals when we can't beat SOFT, USELESS, S%#T BAGS like Geelong! I am so annoyed!! We always lose to them, I can't understand how a team as pathetic as they are can have the wood over us for so long! Anyway well done to Johno (even though he got reported) for a lovely bump on Mitchell White (and a lovely miss by Mitchell too!). I only wish he had done that to Bizell!

GO PIES!!

Nah, look it was just "one of those days"

I was there, as you all were prolly, but the ball wasn't bouncing right, the taps were goin the wrong way, etc etc. We were talls short (hahah if that makes sense) buckley wasn't right after half time when he limped back out, and well, they scored more goals than us, that gets ya EVERYTIME....LOL

there is only ONE thing that I want to know here...WHY didn't they move Rocca to the ruck, and give Josh a go in the forward line.... *shrugs*
dunno, just a thought...

What I don't understand about Malthouse's coaching today is the fact that he puts Betheras on Bizzell... Why couldn't he think of putting Clement on Bizzell in the first place. This same thing has happened two weeks in a row, where Clement has been able to negate an opposition forward when the player was dominating earlier on (last week it was Jarman). What reason could there have been for putting Betheras on Bizzell? Mark Thomson would have been licking his chops when he saw this..

I thought exactly the same thing on the train home, madness, why didnt Rocca have a go in the ruck. We got killed at the centre bounces, and in the entire midfield in general.
Our backline wasnt as good as it has been either, I dont think Kinnear is the answer. Suggestion- Play Didak and Cloke next week, perhaps drop Dimma and Kinnear, and if Roids is reported bring back Chipper. We lacked numbers around the contest all day. I hate losing to Geelong, they are the softest team in the history of the AFL and their supporters are so cocky, despite the fact they have won nothing ever.
All that said, we will win next week, but aim for a top 8 finish before a top 4 spot I think boys.

Keep Kinnear, drop Rupe

Rupes had a bad day today, but he has been playing well. The amtch up was just all wrong, we shouldn't drop him after one bad day. Kinnear just looked out of his depth, I would prefer to give some of the younger guys like Didak or Cloke a run. If Roids gets found guilty my faith in the tribunal will just plummet some more (if possible)! I don't think there was much in it and he looked to be holding his ground more than anything.

Well basically we lost to another shit team at Colonial today. Lets face facts Geelong are a shit football team. They beat us without there number one ruckman. I feel emabarrased to think the\at we are meant to be TOP eight team. I know we are a better team than this and hopefully at the MCG we can prove it.

Please excuse me as im tired and a bit emotional after todays loss. It cuts real deep if you hear what im saying

Wasn't Molloy's big hit GREAT - got the crowd going BIGTIME!

Still don't understand why Malthouse put Clement on Bizzell in the first place! Anyone could judge that Betheras wasn't a suitable matchup. Last week it nearly cost us the game, and it certainly did yesterday.

I reckong our skill level wasn't up to scratch and we made a few costly errors in the dying stages when going forward. Tarrant should have gone for goal and backed himself. After all, he is paid to kick goals. There were mistakes all round - in fact, this game was reminiscent of the Sydney game (poor disposal, no accountability).

Dan
Im with You....is Josh sick? he just didn't look into it yesterday and was benched at one stage as well.

My friend who is a Josh maniac thought in the first quarter he didn't look right, even when he ran out she said he had is head down, and just didn't look right...

and im OUT Kinnear too, he looks the goods but in my opinion, a dud.

Im still shitty on the "not putting Rocca in the ruck" thing....
