I wish we hadn't dropped Fletcher Roberts and Zaine Cordy.

Any one want to stand near Selwood or Dangerfield in the middle?... like anyone?

So predictable

*!*!*!*!ing pathetic.

We will struggle to make the 8.

Re: Game Day Round 9, 2017 - Geelong V Western Bulldogs

Appalling umpiring....absolutely appalling.
Centre clearances in the last quarter were unforgiveable.
Harry Taylor....Harry fecking Taylor.
The constant references to the non scoring end....yeah it's all magic you imbeciles.

I'm putting this fairly and squarely at the feet of Marcus Adams and Travis Cloke.

Adams had two deer in the headlights moments that cost us goals. Cloke really made a dick of himself with the unnecessary free kick and 50m penalty that handed the momentum to the Cats.

We can piss and moan about umpiring, but these moments made the difference to me.

In fairness Cloke had Selwood holding the ball. If the umpire heard my reaction to that decision he would of paid 2 50m penalties.

Bevo had a stinker!

Stop Dangerwood, stop Geelong... but we just let them run free.

So disappointing, the lack of intensity and smarts in the last qtr was disturbing.

I hope we get a chance before Taylor retires to rub his nose in it.

We consistently fail to hurt the opposition on the scoreboard. How many times it felt like the ball went down to Clay with three or four defenders on him as we'd pushed numbers up to contest . The balance is off, hopefully we can turn it around. Selwood and Dangerfield just had too much space. The Selwood free against Cloke and the Murphy free really shifted momentum. Think we copped the wrong end of the stick with both. Four times I think Selwood was tackled and illegally disposed and it was play on.....

ahh Clay Smith. Ive had enough of us kicking it long to him over the top. It doesn't work surely the players have worked that out by now. Actually surely the coaches have work it out too?

We lack leadership in the big moments there is no doubt about that.

I saw it as a definite in the back. Given Selwood didn't dispose of the ball properly Cloke didn't need to get into his back at all, but did, because he's not very smart.

I do like what Adams can do but he's costing us at least 1 goal a game do to really poor decisions. Roberts wouldn't have done that tonight. He should not have been dropped.

Yep Selwood incorrect disposal and then dives forward and Cloke falls on top, no wonder Cloke went off. How many times were Geelong caught with the ball and incorrect disposal and it is play on.

Can't agree.

How many chances do we need?

No wonder Geelong think little of us.

Roberts can't defend one on one.. Adams did that pretty well.
