Bevo just said that, when questioned, he didn't feel Stewart had a big impact on the game.

Stewart had 27 touches (23 kicks), 1 goal, 10 marks.

Interesting. Paraphrasing at all?

It's all Luke Beveridge's fault apparently.

No one said it was all his fault.
He is the coach and takes the good and bad.

He didn't surely!

I thought Stewart had a very good game, but I didn't feel he was the difference.

Third quarter. We have seven scoring shots for 17 points. They have four scoring shots for 25 points.

Last quarter. We have three scoring shots for three points. They have four scoring shots 18 points.

Second half. We have 11 scoring shots for 20 points. They have nine scoring shots for 44 points.

I don't know how outside of encouraging more practice at the fundamentals, you can coach your way out of that.

They get easier shots because we don't use the footy well, but we get more shots in worse places because we don't use the footy well and then can't convert.

It's a downward spiral.

Will have to look back at the replay but he definitely spoke along the lines of Stewart not having a big impact / influencing the result.

I'm still on the train and barely a Dogs supporter to be seen. I take a later train home but there is normally quite a few supporters on.

Plus how many did we kick on the full?

We dominated every stat you want to win. Yet, we don't take our chances. This has been an issue in the Bevo era regardless of personal except for a few golden weeks a few times.

Is that enough evidence, on the huge mound pile of evidence we have EVERY GAME to look at getting a kicking coach ? Do they kick under pressure and fatigue ?

From the AFL website.

"Geelong takes home the chocolates in the end after battling hard to become victorious by 22 points. They proved why they are the fourth-best team from punishing their opposition from turnovers, scoring 65 points from this source. Of those 65 points, they scored 25 of those from attacking midfield turnovers."

The Libba Hail Mary handball in the third quarter which started their run on was a prime example of this.

I mean, if you de-identify and suggest that anyone could have had that impact given the way we played then fair enough, but if that's what he genuinely thinks without any caveats then he's deranged.

It's exactly like the situation that gifted Adelaide their first goal at Ballarat. Libba just throwing it away instead of taking the holding the ball.

Agree. It is more than just goal kicking accuracy. They get goals feasting on our turnovers. Then they are off to the races creating easy shots on goals.

But they had a few big moments in front of goal and the took them. On the siren, 50m out on an angle. They stand up and convert. Bont and McNeil miss from basically directly in front 15m and 30m out.

Or a minimum, handball forward so they need to come through us at least, when you handball backwards and they take possession, they are out the back. It changed the entire momentum of the game.

It also sums up the game. We are trying to score, moving the ball around trying to create something. They just sit back and wait for our mistakes. It is like watching the Italian Football Team in their glory days playing Catenaccio. We will hit you on the counter. We will get in front. When we in front we will shut the door.

What also hurt us tonight is we seemed to take the short fifty fifty vs. the long fifty fifty. Always take the long fifty fifty gents. Please.

We didn't want to take the down line kick all night, even when we had a mismatch. Probably trying to avoid Stewart. But playing the possession game and forcing stoppages is smart, especially when you get a couple of goals up.
