Motlop has torched Pearce in the fourth qtr.

True, but Motlop is no slouch. Will be a good player.

Austin has owned Podsiadly tonight. That goal goes down as most undeserved goal of the night.

This game, and the Collingwood game just kill you. People will look at the scores and see that it was a comfortable loss but we should have won this.

As with us for years when it cranks up we go missing.

And why is that our best forwards are our worst?

We're going to get alot of these performances this year, where in many of the hard indicators we're going to be in it up to our neck, but because of the lack of a competent AFL level forward line, we're just not going to seal the deal more often than not.
I cannot fault the endeavour, hardness, commitment and resilience of the group, we just lack the polish up front to challenge good teams.

Massive heart + no decent forwards = this result

Thought we were the bette side in the the second half and next season we will own the Cat's.

The forward line functioned OK tonight - we just didn't kick some easy goals which then gave the ball back to Geelong who spun it back through the corridor.

Our lack of a zone and our inability to stop their run up the guts were the biggest issues. Our ability to win possession in a contest is very good but we get torched on the over lap.

Macca needs to sort that out.

We should steal one off Geelong, they've got a few.

Unfortunately he is. Apart from missing a number of easy goals Stevie J was the difference tonight.
