We should try and recruit a Joe Daniher or Orazio Fantasia type forward.
Cox,Perkins,Jones the only kids we have.
I really donāt by that excuse once again our senior players have failed
Still canāt get over that Draper play in the goal square
Wtf was he thinking

No forward structure, little forward movement and positioning.
We need smart forwards
Hooker, Wright, Waterman are too one dimensional.
Jones, Perkins are young and learning to position themselves and spread to ensure other more experienced forwards get 1:1 contests.
Tippa although kicked 2 goals really has gone missing the past month against tigers, Dees and tonight,
between ham, smith and Snelling neither of them looked dangerous and were out of position when the ball was brought to ground.

Reckon you might need to relook at our list.
The core group is below 23.
Is another bad game away from being dropped to the vfl
A lot of our guys struggled and couldnāt get in the game. Our youngsters are starting to look tired. Our forward entries woeful again. Cutler a nothing game. Please no more. Ham not getting any better. Parish a competitive beast but thought his kicking was off.
Overall still a fair bit of ground to cover to match it with the best

Ball use inside 50. Every week. For years now.
Need to draft/trade in some elite ball-users, because Caldwell/McGrath/Shiel arenāt going to make us a whole lot better in that area.
I was really disappointed with our last quarter, tbh. So many positive signs (delivery I50 aside) up until that point. Back to back 6 day breaks looks like it really took a toll on our kids.
Iād bring in Guelfi, Durham & Francis (or BZT or even Reid) next week for Ham, Cutler & Waterman.

How many games has Draper played?
Drapers a kid experience wise.
And then thereās Waterman

Ok who else?
Majority of the team is full of 25/26 year olds
Snelling, Parish, Ridley, Draper are all pretty young mate. Others playing roles theyāve never played before (Stewart, Laverde etc.) Whether you like it or not itās a fact and is contributing to some of the brain fades we see on game day

We did ok, Geelong wonāt win a Grand Final, there old players will finish up, Dangerfield, Hawkins, Smith, Selwood,
Not too displeased with that. The margin blew out in the end, and it wasnāt reflective of the difference between the two sides tonight. I felt that we had the better of them in the third quarter, but we couldnāt get reward for our effort. The game should have been close at three quarter time. Unfortunately, our younger players tired out in the last, and their older bodies got on top.
Yes there were several disappointing aspects from tonight, but people need to be realistic. This is the hardest trip in footy, and they and their star player had the media go after them this week. We held our own for three quarters despite all of that.
This is the same Geelong that pulverised West Coast by 100 points at the same venue. We gave it a decent crack, but were reminded we still have a lot more work to do

Was this our biggest loss of the year? cant remember if it was Lions or Port
If we could kick to our forwards like the cats did tonight just imagine how much better we would be.

Clearly won 1 quarter, lost the next, halved the third and lost the last with a bunch of tired youngstersā¦ against last yearās grand finalist, and probably in the GF this year.
Too many being too disappointed hereā¦ weāre tracking upwardsā¦ be patient

Ridley, Redman, McGrath, Caldwell, Draper, Cox, Perkins, Reid, Jones, Parish, Francis would be the core players for the next 8-10 years.
