[desertsaint]

[bangaulegend]

Dud & Curly can you please stop spamming the game thread it's so f--king annoying

[spert]

Pretty obvious that Ratts doesn't value defensive football

Example?

I used to love the trip to Geelong more than anything in footy but boy am I so happy I stayed home tonight.

We look absolutely atrocious. Their ball movement is embarrassing us. That's coaching: that's what you practice on the training field.

We don't know how to move the ball because our coach doesn't know how to teach it. It's quite shocking, but it's worth pointing out that the administration actually extended the current coach's contract.

Much as I dislike Geelong, I love how they play footy and how they've built an entire ecosystem around winning at all costs.

[Rubyjo]

Stadium coming together looks good .
We haven't kicked a behind .
Trying to be positive.

[The_Dud]

We just don’t man up when cats have the ball. Maybe the coach could tell them to try that ?

I think Geelong just run harder

[whiskers3614]

How can we possibly lose?
Hill has had a smother and a tackle!

[cwrcyn]

We only have 2 players in the top 16 posession getters on the ground

Absolutely Everton
Commentary even noting 1 side moving the ball well the other can’t ..
Ratten hasn’t been able to reach this side how to transition the bloody ball
He’s out if his depth
No transition ball movement means no connection into 50
Woeful

f*** me you can’t write the script for this sort of garbage umpiring

Stengel threw Paton out of the contest

I know, they’ve handed us 2 of our 3 goals

Pretty obvious frees to us from some very sloppy Geelong play - but you imply that they were not there and the umpires just plucked them from mid air

[saintkid]

Look how Geelong move the ball down the ground, then look at us.

Look how Geelong deliver the ball inside 50, then look at us.

Ratts should take note.

Exactly but I'm not sure anymore whether our coach 'gets it'. Week after week we play the complete opposite.
Went to the Melb and Pies game last night with family friends and honestly we are a rabble in the way our team has developed.
The worst part is, a few years back, we actually were ahead of these two teams.

[nobhead]

Imo players dont look like they beleif that they can win win.very reactive void of any confidence.

I implied they were just as obvious each way.

[SaintPav]

This thread is like the game.

Predictable and tedious.

[Saintmatt]

Or … he does but he a list of unskilled dolts who can’t follow an instruction. Either way - we’re cooked

[saintkev]

Weak as pizzz effort by King!

Really?? Melbourne played off in a prelim in 2019. Collingwood narrowly lost a Grand Final in 2018. How we were ahead??

[nobhead]

How do you out marked in ur f50 on a slow play so dumb

[chook23]

This thread is like the game.

Predictable and tedious.

Annoying at both levels

[Saintmatt]

How can we possibly lose?
Hill has had a smother and a tackle!

And he’s run his guts out so far tonight. This performance is absolutely not on him.

I hope he’s loving the cash we’re in paying him because he must hate playing in this poor team with an even poorer game plan.

[The_Dud]

If Membrey was always planning on passing that, why did he wait so long for Geelong to completely flood back?

[SaintJohno]

What's the point of Membrey holding it up for so long and then chipping it in? so frustrating and easy to defend.

[desertsaint]

keep digging away fellas!

[Scollop]

Geelong have taken the foot off the gas.

They couldn’t believe how easy we were to play against in that first quarter

We’ve lulled them into a false sense of security.
