Round 19: Geelong v Sydney Swans

[AnnieH]

Well.
Finally watched the game.
That was a bit @@@@, wasn't it.

[magic.merkin]

I dont think i will bother, watched 1 game in the past 5 weeks (personal life!!) and that was the hawks game.
I can barely muster the enthusiasm to read about the results in brief.

Dew still our midfield coach?

It's very unlike Annie to understate things........

What can I say?
Jetts was a major highlight.
Goodesy's stolen goal was just fabulous.
The rest were a little mediocre.

I think a major understatement.

The rest were terrible and I really hope Horse does some things different this Friday night, because the crap they have dished out in 3 of the past 4 weeks is not worth watching. Horse has to change his game plan (but I have serious doubts he is capable of doing that).

According to his way of thinking defence wins matches, not scoring goals. And that in my view does not win games or Finals.

Talking points:



I am still happy from 1996, 2005, 2006 but 2014 has created a scar for me and I think for some of the players also.

What's your issue with 2012??
That one still puts a smile on my face!

The coach is only as good as the team playing. You can't blame the coach for the players playing like @@@@.
We need to be kicking 20 goals a game to be serious contenders.

YES! Teddy only a $1000 fine and no suspension! Didn't think their was much in it but still, you never know what the clowns at the MRP will come up with. Especially considering our current relationship with the AFL!

Really want us to smash Collingwood this week and Teddy had to play I feel for that to be a chance!

Agree that players have the biggest impact, but tactics (or lack of them) also play a big part.

I can't recall the last time we kicked 20 goals in a game. Hope we do very soon as we need percentage booster big time.

I can't tell them enough how important percentage is.

I wonder if this has got to do with the injuries to Rohan and Franklin. How many times was Goodes one out with 2 or more defenders on him. What about the number of times that Geelong had three defenders all alone in the last line of defense and the ball just kept coming back. It's fine flooding back but terrible when you get the ball and got nothing up front to go to. Maybe a change of game plane would be to have three forwards permanently up forward so that when they get the ball they have some targets to go to.

[AnnieH]

When are we going to stop being buddy/barry/(insert star forwards name here)-centric?
If the mids see an opportunity, they should just go for it.
Collingwood got to the granny kicking behinds!!

Collingwood got to the granny kicking behinds!!

They certainly did!

Agree. Maybe in 2005, not any more......
