Three things I've learned-Round 9 v Geelong
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

1. Stupid decisions hurt. Adams HTB & Clokes torp...
2. We are in a very dangerous place this season now.
3. The kids will be ok.

How was that play on? He went back on the mark and held the back for 5 seconds. Even in Geelong that was a disgrace.

How was Menzel's play on, not. How did Selwood get two dodgy frees in the last. How did we not get frees in the last. How was Bob paid holding the ball when he legally disposed of it. And so on.
Cheating I'd say, if I had an educated guess.

1. We're actually not that good.
2. We're the only club that could gift Taylor 5 goals.
3. Our game plan of happy handball is crap.

Some solid BF-esque melting.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

We haven't looked good all year besides a quarter here and a quarter there.

That "crap" gameplan won us a premiership.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Our handball game last year was far different to what we're doing now.

Teams have adjusted to it, plus we're being scrutinised for throwing the ball more than we were last year.
To say it's gotten worse is probably off the mark, but we can't rely on it to the extent we did.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Three things I've learned-Round 9 v Geelong
1. Geelong could win the spoon and still beat us twice in a season. They plan their season around the 8 points they get against us.
2. The umpires desperately wanted to make sure we don't don't break a decade long streak. They were practically barracking Geelong home.
3. Our field kicking is almost as bad as our goal kicking. Which is hard to comprehend.

Re: Three things I've learned-Round 9 v Geelong
1/ Last year we were super even with solid contributions by all, we aren't getting that this year.
2/ The lack on intensity in the 2nd and 4th quarters was horrid.
3/ Lin Jong is easily in our best 22... One of the few in our team that's improved on 2016 output.

He needs to put in 4 quarters. Only had 4 touches in the last, but agree overall he was good.
