    1. I can't recall such a year with horrible injuries, almost every week.
    2. You can be paid holding the ball when not in possession.
    3. Tom Boyd showed some good signs tonight, but needs to be spending more time forward since we insist on bombing it all game, every game.

    1. Thanks to the boys for an entertaining game, against all odds.
    2. Cordy is a player. Like him.
    3. Tom's three goals were important. He did a lot of good things, but his defensive work is a bit lazy. But well done.

    1. You can be penalised for HTB when the ball is beside you.
    2. One of the Cordy brothers is better than the other one.
    3. There is no God.

    1.The team didn't lose any respect tonight, they gained it.
    2. Dangerfield is a seriously good player, the rest are flogs, especially the hero Duncan.
    3. F injuries.

    1. To quote Cometti you're only as good as your reserves, was a reserve .
    Injuries just murdering us
    2. Our effiency going forward needs to improve . Far to much bombing
    3. Scotts carry on in the box is embarrassing

    1. Zaine may be best 22 and is genuine key position height. I think he keeps his spot over Roberts when Adams returns
    2. Stringer should be moved to the midfield for the rest of the season. He's struggled all season up forward, might as well release him with all our outs.
    3. We look so much better when Boyd is forward, it's a waste having to ruck him

    Re: Three things I have learned - Round 19 vs Geelong

    1. If Dangerfield had limped off halfway through the second quarter and Libba had played on it might well have been a different results. *!*!*!*! you footy gods. WTF have we done to annoy you?

    2. I'm not as annoyed as I usually am

    3. My son can yell a lot louder than I remember.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    1. Living in Geelong and losing to Geelong is just as painful as ever.
    2. Bartel is seriously overrated.
    3. 2016 sucks.

    1. I hate beards, especially Bartel types

    2. Geelong is a bogey ground - played 55 games there and won 13 times since 1941

    3. I find it hard watching games like that on TV

    I said his three goals were important and he did a lot of good things. Also said well done. Is this harsh? Credit where credit is due. He had a good game.

    You said but his defensive work is a bit lazy. But well done.

    After he applies 6 tackles - that is what BT was talking about harsh
