Nice argument. Did you even read the post?
Appreciate an actual argument made. Well done - however, it raises the issue of the ‘flicking around’; why wasn’t the umpire picking up the many throws in those chains?
It is an interesting situation, i agree. It’s hard to tell how much is coaching plan and how much is the players in the moment. Would be very interested to see a talented team like Geelong play more in the vain of port, gold coast and brisbane. As we’ve shown, we can score quickly but for some reason we just don’t back ourselves. Wouldn’t you love to actually hear the honest explanation of this from the coaches
But you should not have been within spitting distance as we dominated and controlled the pill all night. That can happen but to pretend you were close because you were up to your eyeballs in the contest and it was bad umpiring which prevented this from happening would be a tad misleading.
Sidebottom would probably help our cause.
True. We were terrible too. The game was basically meaningless. I mean, other than the four points.
If a player grabs the pill and then it falls from his grasp onto an opponent's back and he then regathers the pill, that is a mark every day of the year.
You didn't watch your team play Sydney last week? The two opposing coaches were disgusted and in total agreement on the putrid nature of the game. Tonight was a veritable extravaganza of scoring, high marks and wonderful, fluid ball movement by comparison.
