#26, Poulter has looked disinterested, today. I am very disappointed by him and Bianco. Neither has really done anything much (and they are two of only 4 players who haven't yet laid a tackle) - but mostly, they aren't hitting the contest like they want the ball. It's a shame because I had hoped both would come on this year (and, in Poulter's case, was quite confident he would).

Second half underway. No Ceglar, no Menegola.

Nice smother in defence by McMahon (to the commentators - no, it really wasn't Kelly).

Murley hits the ball at pace in the defensive goal-square and causes a point. Johnson kicks the goal of the day at the other end to reward him.

Draper imitates a witch's hat at halfback. Geelong get their third.

Kelly handballs wildly. He would have been better getting caught holding the ball and forcing the set shot across the wind. Geelong get another. A lot of fumbly football just back of the centre in the lead up.

Poulter lays an important defensive tackle. Good on him.

Cox is in the ruck and Collingwood is getting murdered. Where is Begg?

Cox rucked for the first 10 minutes and Geelong is suddenly only 21 points behind. They have the run on.

I do not understand what possesses people to want Cox in the seniors. He's a liability at VFL level.

He was withdrawn from the side.

Harrison wasn’t selected this round. Not sure why.

Ruscoe was like that last week - not so much disinterested as off the pace skills wise, fumbling, poor decision making.

There are a few players who need to step up in the VFL if they want to continue their AFL careers.

Kelly competes ferociously in the air and there is a Geelong player with a near-death experience. Play is stopped.

I'm going for a walk. Too many of them are not going into the contest, at the moment.

Thanks for the comments P4S.
I can’t suffer watching a game on a device, so I’m just checking the stats and logging in on here.
MacRae seemed to have started very well but it would appear ( statistically ) he has drifted out and Brown has now picked up the slack.

Apologies if this has been posted but it would seem T Brown will be the medical sub tonight.
