Some contrasting assessments of the game on here. :?

<snip. Knock. It. Off! - the mods>

Losing our centre half forward in the first half and then our only multiple goal scorer not long after, we were always going to struggle.

A pretty gutsy, albeit sloppy at times, effort. Kicked straighter when we had the ball in our forward line in the 2nd half and we actually could have pinched it.

Let's hope we get some good news on the injury front and come out and pump the aints.

I've said it a 100 times, why do we insist on rushing players back from hamstring injuries? If you think it's ok, it needs another 2 weeks!
Hammys take longer that what these so called fitness experts think, it really is mind boggling.

GO PIES!

This we need class in the forward line.
Well, we had Wells in the forward line. Should have kicked 2.1, not 0.3(?). :cry:

Today's game, the way that we played (I don't carry on about injuries I watch the game with who is out there), was the biggest reminder of the last 3 years since round one. Not sure where we go from here and we face a danger game next week.

Our skills were were nothing short of a disgrace often resulting in turnover after turnover. There's no excuse for not hitting targets when you're under no pressure, and you're not going to win games of football by trying to handball yourself to victory. All of what we achieved the past few weeks was undone by scrappy ineffective football.
The cats were no great shakes either, if I was a cat fan id be pretty disgusted with that effort by them, only had Hawkins out, compared to our injury ravaged list, not to mention being two guys down in rotations in the second half. plus they had two days extra rest. they were nothing to rave about.
You need to educate yourself with the Geelong list.

They had just as many out prior to the first bounce.

Scott and Geelong clearly came with a plan to stifle our forward transition and it worked beautifully for them in the first half and set up the win.
He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD!

Sorry but they had us before the half time break - the rest was dressing. I support the boys and wish them the best - I hope the Pies bring the best out of them and believe they can do it. But we were beaten top to bottom today - there was something very out that was more than the score board showed.
It was an ambush

This is footy. People study what you are doing and try to counter it. I thought we were shot when Geelong were in front at quarter time as usually we belt them and keep them belted. Good that we were still in the game, but not good enough. Let's see what happens next week.
Get back on top.

It's quite simple really. Anything in a black vertical stripe find any reason at all to award the free kick against.
Anything in hoops find any reason at all to award the free kick for.
Keep repeating the above over and over again and you will have no trouble at all interpreting the umpiring decisions for the rest of the season.

We need to win the next 4 games if we are to demonstrate serious improvement this season.

Leaving Moore and Elliott aside, we still have quite a bit of depth, with the following players available, or nearly so:

Maynard
Pendles
Langdon
McLarty
Sier
Fasolo
Daics

Another thing that nobody has mentioned before.It was 9 goals to 5 in the end.What a pathetic spectacle.No wonder the A.F.L is in trouble.But will they ever have the guts to do anything about it?
