Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 17: Carlton vs Geelong
#81
That's all good and lovely, but we lost Jones and Levi (the latter was a none event for 3.5 qtrs the previous week).

Atrocious kicking aside, we were never in the game after Q1.

Another big fail for mine. Plenty of blokes just didn't chip in, as should be the minimum. Williams, Martin, Setters.....

I won't be bagging Murph again (and hope he gets his 300).

Teague too -  showing nothing to suggest he's a long term proposition imo.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Just so cocky resting players were Geelong and I really want to see them bounced out of the finals early but I don't think it will happen. Henderson and Touhy with premierships would be depressing also..
When the whips are cracking in finals/big games, Cameron and Dangerfield go to water nothing surer.

2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Fun Fact: I was updating my predictor spreadsheet (as you do) and upon calculating our averaging losing margin for 2021, I calculated it to be, you guessed it, exactly 24 points.

Top work right there.
Out of curiosity, what's our average winning margin? Small sample I know!
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

In the past thats true but I think they are due and might get a return out of the Smith, Cameron, Higgins recruitment and make the GF this season.

I was wondering if I ever saw us kick worse at goal then remembered I was at the game against Hawthorn in 1980 when we kicked 14 points straight in the last qtr against Hawthorn to lose it. To add insult to injury, then Dominator kicked an impossible goal on his wrong foot after the siren, which saw as lose by 2pts.

Remember one in the early 90's at Whitten Oval when Mark Arceri kicked our only goal late in the last quarter
May have finished 1 10

What about the 1.10 with Mark Arceri kicking our only goal for the game in the last quarter?

EDIT: Bricky beat me too it.

Think Arceri's was a free that was dubious too....
