The umpiring ruins the game as a spectacle and allows too much holding of the game’s genuine champions, I suppose it’s what we have to expect - special rules to let teams that can’t field a competent ruckman be competitive against one of the two or three best that the game has ever seen.

Still, his game last night was the equivalent of a 58 hit out, 20 disposal game in a full-length match of footy.


i agree, he and Pendles dont get the recognition they deserve, i think its an expectation thing. i did hear a geelong guy say they are sick of him because he is everywhere. He had to do it all last night, and he did it well. still looked like he could go another quarter. He gets the same treatment from the umps that Cloke got, no protection. $£$%^%%$ danger gets an escort on the ground!

People knocking brown, not me. he just goes and goes, never quits, and didnt i get a goosebump that beautiful passage of play with him and Daicos!!!

I would also like to Add in Moore here, without the shirtless wonder he with maynard are really holding the backline together.

Taylor Adams in the background when Pendles was talking to the scum danger, and there is Adams with all the kids giving them a heads up, directing them.

As for Jordy, not the first time i have said prove yourself son. If he gets through this, it can make his character. make no mistake this would be damn hard to play through. If it turns out to be a truly vile charge, then ill change my mind. He certainly has a lot to make up for, the drinking etc. I can think of more than one giant name, not just in footy i could say the same for. He was utterly incredible last night.

as for duckwood?? the guy with the dislocation was more of a loss! he might of even the free kicks a bit though!

I pointed this out in my post as well
I’m not surprised this is happening to be honest
He’s been the pseudo captain for a while
I get why people have a crack at him at times his disposal can be off at times but there are things you can’t coach he brings in buckets
He is the first with his head over the ball, he never ever gives up, he pressures and chases like no other, he has that hard edge of competitiveness and he leads not just by example but he ensures he keeps the young players accountable and informed
He treats the young players with respect never berating them but offers stern advice
Taking IQ AB Brown Diacos Stephenson to the side post game on the field I’m sure he was saying that’s only 1 win of our ambition for this block enjoy it but remember we need to reload next week
I remember during the game Brown got himself into trouble trying to beat 1 to many players got caught free against Adams minutes later run up to him when the ball went out of play and gave him a quick slap in the rump smiled as if too say come on Brownie can’t beat them all by yourself but keep backing yourself son

Gee, watching the replay, Bruce McAvaney was terrible with his bias calling.

To be fair, Bruce called the whole game with half of his blood in his cock. I thought he did well with 1/2 the normal oxygen flowing to his brain.

[/quote]Varcoe took care of Ablett this week and Wingard the week before[/quote]

This isn't correct, he never went near Winguard until midway through the last qtr where he missed a spoil allowing Winguard to mark in the F50.
Early on against the Hawks Varcoe's direct opponent I recall was Morris and played as a floating half back, often picking up Puopolo.
He and IQ were given a licence to run off their opponents.
IQ and Shaz rotated on Wingard before Clarkson moved him. Varcoe had a brief stint on Shiel.
Against the Hawks he had a serviceable and clean game, playing his role.

Darcy showed a lot of versatility last night. He spent time on Esava Ratugolea and Gary Rohan and beat both of them.

One bit of play really stuck with me, with about 10 minutes to go in the last quarter Elliott kicks forward towards the boundary. Mihocek takes off from behind the centre circle, gets around Harry Taylor who is trying to shepherd and lays a tackle on Mark Blicavs to force a throw in. Brilliant effort.

Okay kids, so I consider this our best win of 2020 to date.
I feel it was effectively an 8-point game; a loss would have see us back in the pack, and in hostile territory with our backs to the wall.
I'm loving the fast ball movement and first option hot-potato disposal rate.
Again, when every player buys-in and contributes with little complacency, over four quarters, then we are very hard to beat.
Even IQ and AB are doing the minimal 1%'s required, without needing to accumulate a swag of possessions.

Sure the Cats were minus Tom Stewart, who is a superb intercept defender when in tandem with Blitz-arse [and we are missing Howe].
Don't know why Rhys Stanley wasn't selected to tackle Grundy, he is their best ruck option; is he injured?
Granted Geebung lost Duckwood by 1/4-time, and Clark late, which hurt their rotations. IIRC, we lost JDG by 1/4-time in the 2019QF, and held them off in a goal-less last quater for an epic win; so swings and round-abouts with soft tissue injuries there peeps.
Again, I lay blame at squarely at AwFuL for a lack of extended interchange or a player sub allowance in 2020.

Geelong only kicked one goal that wasn’t from our direct error.

I came up with the same statistic.
Considering the way they dismantled a rampant Brisbane in the 2nd half last week, then this is absolutely exceptional.

Very nice to finish off the way we did because that was a tough game. We looked really good in parts but seriously need to clean up our decision making and ball use because when we cough it up it ends up costing us dearly.
I also wish we'd cut out the short kicks in the HB because time and time again we screw it up and turn it over...


Agreed, the backline might want to minimise this tactic at least until Howe returns, they we can ensure it's executed with competence.
The ball use in general is on the verge of sharpening up; we've seen enough glimpses of it in the last two weeks to warrant hope there!

The low scoring is a problem. It meant we are never comfortably ahead, and last night, umpiring had the biggest impact on the game. Umpires never let the Cats get a sniff in the last quarter.

If we were down 8 points at 3/4 time, and then proceeded to get the next 10 free kicks paid against us, we'd be filthy and accusing the AFL of cheating and demand Eddie do something.

Umpires had more influence than any player on the ground.


And this is a problem because Geebung didn't get the world given to them like they did against Brisbane the week prior?!

Let's alalyse the very valid comment below:

Opposition teams have no answer to Grundy. The last time he was fairly beaten was by fatigue and exhaustion in the 2018GF against Lycett and Vardy, who played their last game together as a ruck duo that day.
So in 2020, their only solution is to scrag him at every ball-up around the ground.
Evidently we lead the league at present for free kicks? Well f#ck me!
Most of those go Grundy and Pendlebury, who get held at most stoppages prior to taking possession of the ball. The opposition know it's the only way to stop our run, and play russian roulette daring the umpire to call them out on the tactic, I reckon we get maybe one in five actually paid.
Seriously, I'd love to see the number of free kicks given to us inside F50, compared to the opposition, particularly the last three rounds; not even close.

What was I disappointed with the most?
Not seeing Scott with his coaches box charades [hands raised in bewilderment, mouth agape and eyes bulging open] when every single free kick didn't go their way...

I hate this mob; 2011 still burns me.
The sooner Suckwood, Dangerflog, Uncle Harry, Dunderklumpen Hawkins, Sniper Rohan and the Little Monster get pensioned off to exile or the Bellarine leagues, and this club gets consigned to the arse end of the ladder for a long term Carlton-like rebuild, the happier I will be...

Now for that other bunch of dream shattering arsehats - the Weasels....

We always knew Geelong were duckers and divers.
Ablett's dive the other night had me yelling at the TV!!

Here's some nice reading!

Make no mistake, we are the best team in the competition.
We kick most of our goals via our work rate whilst our simple errors (dropping simple marks, not punching the ball for a behind etc) contribute to the majority of the oppositions goals.
If we tidied up our elementary errors, most opposition teams would struggle to kick more than 4 goals against us.

We are the benchmark and the only things that will stop us are also things that are within our control.
Self doubt in how good we are/can be and cleaning up those little errors mainly across half back.


+1 ^^^ - assuming we can keep most of our best side on the park, we ourselves are as good a chance as any team, and if we eliminate our simple but costly errors, we'll beat anyone.
