R12 - Geelong v Richmond (game day thread)

[percyms]

And short...another blazing *smile* bomb and yes its a geelong possession .

Give it a rest mate... 19 possessions at 80%. Better than most.

 

[Fighting Fury]

And they don't *smile* miss

I hope that LeFau injury isn’t serious.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Just completely out run in the second half. We need to draft as many players with running capacity as we can. Also a new fitness coach.

I've said that for 12 months.
We need runners
We handed Geelong our pick and they got the best.

No run, no chase
did the players have a box of chips and hotdogs as half time?

We are playing a team of kids.

Seasoned footballers will run over the top.

I'll cop it for the young blokes but it's our seasoned footballers that are just as gassed

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Great, now McAuliffe has a calf injury

 

[craig]

Bowes again on Dow

 

[code yellow and black]

Cumbo needs to play on the Full Forward Line he seems to get lost the further up the ground he gets

Needs to play in the VFL. Poor mama Dempsey. No crumbing forwards, would rather Green

When the mids fell away, the deluge started.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Campbell is a cat.
We can't afford cats

 

[Smoking Aces]

Great, now McAuliffe has a calf injury

It’s Pickett not Mcauliffe.

 

[bairdy380]

Horrible second half, Geelong just shut down their ground perfectly and we are gassed, so no run or space

 

[Tigers2011]

Given the inexperienced midfield, I can’t believe we didn’t try some experienced players in there in the second half.

Why not throw Rioli & Short in for a while. Even McIntosh. We were getting flogged around the contest & we tried nothing different.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

It’s Pickett not Mcauliffe.

Calf tightness

 

[Smoking Aces]

Campbell is a cat.
We can't afford cats

Go to bed Zips

 

[CarnTheTiges]

So there’s no prior opportunity anymore? Seen Dow tackled with no prior and it’s been htb.

 

[Sintiger]

“play the kids” is what we constantly hear. So we play the kids, especially around the ball, and they get overwhelmed in the end by more seasoned and experienced opponents.
“ the kids are no good”
Sometimes I just want to scream reading comments on this site.

Sonsie Campbell Cumbo Dow Mansell NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Disagree on Campbell. Only 19yo. Not many disposals but he's everywhere defensively. His tackles stick.

 

[craig]

Great, now McAuliffe has a calf injury

Tightness so they will let him rest rather than push it.

Might have a build up of lactic acid causing compression and tightness in his calf.

Didnt look too distressed
