Worst team i have seen pull on the jumper. Worst because they are playing with so little commitment. Even the retreads of the Pagan years seemed to put in more.
The lack of tackles tonight stood out the most. Just dreadful and the major reason the geelong middle sailed the ball end to end so many times. Less than 40 tackles in a game is disgraceful. Little pressure meant that geelong at times lapsed to allow us some easy ball. Of course we coughed it up without a wimper. The terrible kicking mjst be a running joke across other teams now, who play with confidence that they will win the footy back so easily.
The few good players were Curnow who did a decent job on Selwood and managed to get some touches himself. Reward for commitment. Simpson was courageous, especially early. Menzal played well, although 4 goals flattered. Other players that did ok were Docherty, Tutt and Murphy in patches. Wood tried hard, but while we fans like to see Selwood knocked about, Wood gave away a dumb 50m penalty. Yarran gave us some run, and Buckly did ok when he came on but the game was well over.
Umpiring was deadset ordinary tonight. The quality of the ball ups and throw ins was average and should be better. The advantage rule was mangled again, to the detriment of the game.
Supporting this mob is hard work, and there was nothing to get excited about tonight, just nothing, except to know we are a game closer to the end of the season.
