WB Game Day V Geelong R14 2020

[KT31]

Ah yes. Articles written about a person. Another relevant metric for a player's output.



Do you need your hand held, mate?

Such petulance simply because someone disagrees with you is so churlish.

Dangerfield won them that game.

It is irrelevant this year how many flags he's won. And if you think he didn't put his hand up to lead them, well I refer you back to the game. If you want to keep saying "but we won in 2016" and think that's good enough well that's fine, but I want more.

We're obviously not going to win in 2020 so I'd dearly love to scupper some hopes on the way, and I'm disappointed we didn't.

Bury your head in the sand all you want, but I'm not.

Heads not buried, but no need to be antagonising.
I’m as frustrated as the next bloke but eating your own belongs to other club supporters.

Petition to change the club motto from 'Cede Nullis' to 'All or Nothing'.

The awful Cher song version, not the cool skater phrase.

Ok. So I think for once the wine has made me cool my jets!
The 2nd Qtr was always on the cards. We failed to adjust, but Vandermeer pinging did not help.

JJ's miss can't be downplayed for it's significance, given Miers score right after got them well and truly going.

Bruce is really struggling. Big time.
Either of JJ or Bruce's shots go in, I think we survive.

We clearly looked cooked in the last. Two men down historically shows you're up against it. 2 down is almost a death knell.

It sucks to lose; for some reason, even more when it's against Geelong!

I just don't think we lose if Vandermeer and Wood don't go down. Speed and defensive cover gone. That's a steep hill to overcome...but folks, keep hanging it on Bevo....bollocks!!

Maybe the wine has tempered my anger away from the team; it's definitely bolstered my contempt for those who have a preordained narrative theyre trying to pin on Bevo.
Jog on!

I still don't get how we could be as competitive as we were without any of our really good players having clearly good games.

Says to me our system/stucture was actually OK tonight, without being great and making the most of the tools we have to really be effective. I mean, it wasn't as if Hawkins ran riot and we were done out the back or whatever. Most of our issues seemed to be driven by mistakes under pressure.

Now I get that you could argue that our system is too reliant on performing under pressure with clean hands etc. but I just don't see it as skills are skills, and lapses are normally between the ears for whatever reason and not related to system.

I don't think we've been shown to be that far off tonight.

I really hope that's the product Bevo successfully sells to the group.
2021 looms large for all, who is going to lift as a result of this?
That's the big question.

That's the big question.

I'm still all in on 2020. We have shown we can compete against all but one of the credible top four aspirants we've faced to date with Richmond being the exception. We have WCE as our next game in nine days and I reckon we can get them and we can roll the Hawks and Fremantle.

Make no mistake, we are up to our eyeballs for a second or third week run into the finals this year.

[EasternWest]

Yeah but you're not quite the masochist GG clearly is.

I'm here aren't I?

The brass neck on you even saying that.

All I did was comment that despite the opinion of Dangerfield on this board, he was sensational tonight and we don't have that and and then you chimed in. Your smartarse, condescending response to my comment was the definition of antagonism. Then when you get called on it, you go looking for supporters to back you up.

Honestly I don't know whether to be appalled or impressed by your hide.

Look, it's a solid argument.

I think you should definitely challenge KT31 to a duel.

Once you state someone is carrying a brass neck there's nothing else for it.

[EasternWest]

I think you should definitely challenge KT31 to a duel.

No I like KT. Usually.

If I could duel anyone on here I'd go throwback and choose Chops.

[jeemak]

No I like KT. Usually.

If I could dual anyone on here I'd go throwback and choose Chops.

Gold.

Sometimes we forget this is supposed to be fun.

I am with you - JJ miss in the 2nd and it is game over. Bruce scores in the 2nd and it is probably game over. So important to take your chances given what happens later in the game. despite this we hang on for 87 minutes and literally run out of puff. Vanders and Wood stay fit and we have just enough to get over the line.

I saw things out there tonight I really liked. I saw some things that were awful, but we just need to persist.

[Vred]

I wont lie.
I went into the backyard, yelled *!*!*!*! as loud as possible, threw some BBQ tongs into the garden bed and probably slammed the back door so hard the lock is now *!*!*!*!ed.

Few hours later and I'm still feeling so frustrated by some of the plays we did because of spud players on our list.

I don't mind losing if we're playing like shit, but I *HATE* losing from a 40 points up position.
