Seven key players out, then losing two more during the game, would affect any side, plus the shite fixture we copped since Anzac day, the cats had two full days rest more than us. its not excuses, its reasons. Elliott did his hammy again today, in v f l, we just cant take a trick on that front.

Agree totally.
Fundamentally, the loss today comes down to the fact that we were two players down in the second half. We were sufficiently close in the game to demonstrate this.
It was not even the fact that so many key players were out. Just imagine. Had Darcy and Tom played the entire game, we could easily have won, even with all those key players out.
Our skills by foot were down tonight, so definitely we did not play our best. But I don't walk away from this game despairing. Geelong are a good side. They are finals contendors. We had everything against us today, and with a very depleted and exhausted team were able to contain them and remain in the game to the very end.

What did everyone make of Adams and Thomas today?

Thomas was quiet, but he has been great all year so he had earned some creds and one off game is not the judgement of him. But I think he looks a little overawed and starstruck at times when opposition with reps like Danger, Ablett and Selwood are in competition with him around the ball. I think he goes into his shell too easily. Adams had his second game back and was poor as usual. I am just not convinced with anything that he does. His game was poor today, he only really offers a quick handball out of a pack now and then with a few sideways short kicks. He has never and will never offer us forward momentum and reliability with disposal for a key midfielder. Our mids just aren't precise enough to pinpoint short passes and give our forwards shots from 35 to 50 out, they just bomb it long to the pockets or turn it over around 70 out. Very frustrating.

Regardless of injuries from late in the 3rd Geelong were there to be beaten. We kicked 1.8 from 3.7.25 to 4.15.39 and only needed to 3 of those goals and we'd have overrun them. We need to consider moving on from Cox knowing that he gives us about one quarter a game. A dead set missed opportunity, now anything could happen next week against a weaker side that, if given a sniff may be a challenge with our injuries going in to the game.

This we need class in the forward line.

Yes beaten by a better team today, but that team was shit too
