    Re: WB Game Day V Geelong R14 2020

    Q1 - 6.3-0.3 our favour
    Q2 - 0.3-3.3 their favour
    Q3 - 1.1-2.3 their favour
    Q4 - 2.0-5.3 their favour

    Really lost it after quarter time and particularly with the last quarter shootout.

    It feels like 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. Either we are close and highly competitive against the best teams, or the best teams have us comfortably sorted out and we lose exactly the same way against them.

    We can't expect games to be played on our terms against the best teams, and we clearly lack the ability to scrap and scrounge when we can't get our preferred game style going.

    Maybe it's as simple as the Geelong/West Coast slow ball retention game plan is more controllable and our run and gun style is more inconsistent and subject to greater variances in effectiveness.

    I wonder what it was like when we lost to them at Geelong for 27 years straight from 1945-1972? Imagine driving back to Footscray each year and saying to your kid "Don't worry son. We'll beat them down there next year".
    2 close wins in the last decade, we truly are their bitches. Chris Scott has worked out Bevo more so than any other coach.

    Geelongs final qtr outscored our final three.

    5.3 to 3.4.

    We couldn't hold them with two down.

    Bont had ten tackles if that's worth anything. Wasn't at his best but tried his arse off.

    Granted i didn't see the Power & Lions game but when we have played a good side we only look good on our terms. We looked good in the first quarter because Geelong looked horrible. Yeah give us credit for making them look bad but they had another gear. We all saw after quarter time that the cats got it back on their terms & we couldn't do a thing about it. It was the same against the pies, saints & tigers.

    We are not as good as those teams & its a debate of how far behind we are. I think we are quite a distance this year & if we did happen to make the 8 we would be clearly making up the numbers.

    You could be right Comrade, but alls I'm trying to point out is , it isn't all on Dangers shoulders at the Cats like it is on Bonts at the Dogs.

    We just can't take a trick against this mob.

    Looking forward to this game all week. Friday night. Kick the first six goals! How good is life? Forget about the lockdown. Forget about the crazy life we are living at the moment. Planning out the next few weeks of footy obsession and distraction. Love the game. Love this club. Going to watch every game all weekend!

    What a difference the feeling is 90 minute later. You either love it or hate it depending on the score. Gutted.

    So happy to see two big wins at Kardina Park. One from behind at half time and another where we had a miracle comeback in the last few minutes. Thank god for that.

    For the past 3.5 years, you can certainly count on the Dogs to ruin your weekend more often than not.
