The wind change killed us.

We killed us.

Half our team was about as noticeable today as a fart in a jacuzzi.

That was a huge wind, can tell you that living in Geelong. To kick against it again in the 2nd qtr would've demoralised anyone. At least we won the qtr we kicked with it.

Whenever I allow myself to feel confident, a game like that comes along and grounds me. We were never in this game and not sure they were even going flat out.

Their midfield creamed ours when the game was there to be won.

Still have to many young players with question marks for me to be too optimistic about all the talk we will surge up the ladder in 2020. Apart from Walsh not overly confident any of the other kids we have will be genuine a grader.

Miles of work to do and just have to get a big fish in this trade period to get an instant boost come round 1

Not sure why Cripps started on Dangerfield, he was never going to be able to run with him.

Just got home from the game and I wouldn't worry about the umpires or the wind, I would worry about how many of our players gave us next to nothing today. Cripps, Murphy, E Curnow, Walsh all get big ticks. Very hard to find a good contributor after that. You can't beat good sides with that many passengers

Thank goodness that year is over! DT and his coaching team have got a busy summer ahead of them. I can relax a bit now and watch the finals with a detached and academic interest,

Yep spot on.

We talk up our kids like most bottom teams do, yet was concerning how the top teams kids looked every bit as promising as ours....Walsh aside.

Having said that congratulations to Sammy Walsh for breaking most disposals in first season. Nice to watch a kid that you don’t have any questions over.
