A bit better. But a win that comes at the expense of injury. Can't get a break.
Yeah did look a bit better but the injuries picked up are significant to a team already struggling , plus 2 that arent going into the hub because of wifes expecting babies , so that could be 6 or 7 out
Nice to pick up a win but not too much to get excited about

If the Dees when they got a roll on had just scored another goal, to get within two majors, it may have been a different story, but never mind. At least we're competing.
The game was there for the Dees, but I thought Richmond actually lifted to a level that has been rarely seen this season. Not a slight on Melbourne, but they looked hungry and were determined not to lose this one.

Game of the round tonight
-
@mariner4life Totally agree cats Lions it’s going to be a good game
-
Geelong in a pretty dominant performance tonight. Ablett doesn’t get the footy like he used to, but his touches are all class.
-
what the hell happened, lions looked good at the half...and then....
-
We were shit for 3 quarters. If we fucking kick straight we're out of sight at quarter time. Same as every week.
Geelongs big names got a hold of us, oh and Rowan, who was best on ground, but isn't named Dangerfield so won't get the votes.
Fuck I hate Dangerfield. Hatiest player in the comp.

@mariner4life Selwood is the one I can’t stand.

He's a fucking grub with superstar protection
-
How did we lose that????
Some of our inexperience showed in the final quarter.
Well done Freo
-
Was that Richmond game as bad as the scorecard suggests?
-
@mariner4life yes
Pouring with rain didn’t help
-
-
Fuck. Another ugly scrappy defensive shitfight.
AFL has some issues.
-
Pissing rain though.
It does seem that the only time you ever find space is on the counter. If you can't move the ball quickly and efficiently in that 10-20 second period then it becomes exponentially harder to progress.
I'm not sure what the solution is though, other than some sort of netball-esque 'zones' system.

it's coaching as well.
at one point last night Geelong got a turnover, hit a mark just on the 50 right in the middle, and the guy wheeled around to be presented with...
no one. Geelong didn't have a single player in their forward 50. byt the time they arrived, the same number of Collingwood players had arrived. Geelong didn't even score a point.
sending everyone up the Ground to stop the other team scoring at all costs, and minimising any risk is just killing teh spectacle.
Same as every pro football code
How can you not create space on a fucking cricket field?
-
thought we might have had a bye or something...no such luck, with Heeney out for the season I cant see us improving, annoyingly we'll be relying on papley even more than we have too which could piss him off even more and so i expect another tranfer request
