The evidence might suggest that you have got this one a little wrong.
Are you basing this on stats?
There were only 19 contested marks for the whole game, 12/7 split, only 10 marks inside F50 for the whole game, they took 8 of them which is not much at all.
Geelong average 10/11 marks inside 50 per game, we average 8 per game.
The marking targets on both sides had very poor nights which suggests defenders were on top, watching the game I'd have to say disposal from both teams was very bad.
