Miers got caught in one which was a great rundown tackle, but you just know if the roles were reversed, it would've been a free for a push in the back as the momentum of the tackle carried Miers forward and the tackler cannoned into his back.
There were several times we looked for him last night, but usually it was a long bomb to him wrestling with Sam Collins with 2 or 3 spare Suns players waiting down for the inevitable crumbs and easy rebound out of defence.
I think the passage of play which summed the night up perfectly was late in the last term when we fumbled the ball across half back, had one Geelong player on his hands and knees trying to get the ball out, only for the handball to get intercepted and Noah Anderson ran forward with two Suns...
Read somewhere it was our biggest score conceded since Round 1, 1994 when Melbourne kicked 26.18.174 against us. We actually scored over 100 points that day too.
I reckon half of their goals were either from the goal square or from a bloke waltzing through centre half forward and slotting one from 35m straight in front under no pressure from a centre clearance.
41 less kicks.
42 less handballs.
43 less marks.
96 less effective possessions.
15 less tackles.
7 less hit outs
10 less frees.
9 less scoring shots.
15 less inside 50s.
Pretty much says it all.
