I think we have recruited a stronger VFL list. This bunch of players DID smack Essendon around for th better part of a half last week (Dons had most of their depth players in) and did run Geelong to within 7 points in the last quarter after sticking with them for most of the day.

Get the senior guys currently in casualty back out there and we have a MUCH stronger VFL team...

Well I am back from Geelong. Got Rained on a bit. Lost 103 - 77.


My Thoughts:


* We Got Bloody Screwed by the Scumps. They stopped out Momentum with Ticky Tac Free Kicks for the Pussie Cats. Very Frustrating as I think we could of won
* We Kicked Straight 12 5
* Josh Thomas was Exicting did Really well as inside mid
* Hudson belted well in the Ruck
* Yagmoor is a Turnover Machine. He can be the Best Player for the Oppostion. Playing out his Contract.
* Williams was Solid but Kicking still a Worry
* Martin was Solid
* Oxley is a Great Kick but needs work on his Defensive Side

I read on the livechat from one supporter who was there had the free kick count as being 15+ in Geelong's favour.

Every time we would make a play, it seemed as though one of our blokes would get pinged.

It's not just a 5+ goal advantage at Kardinia Park, it seems...

Would not surprise me. The Scumps where Boarding on Cheating how they helped the Cats
