GAME DAY Tiges V Eagles
- Thread starter Mr Brightside
- Start date
It was a great game - I was surprised how fast it appeared - a real finals type game.
We had our chances in the last couple of minutes but Dusty and George stuffed up. Our instinct is to play on quickly but unfortunately it didn’t work this time - their goal to win it was all class. Both teams looked out on their feet but big players tend to win those types of games and so advantage to them.
BUT the two umpire goals in the last quarter killed us - make no mistake, the umpire influenced this game and influenced that last quarter - to call those frees against Grimes and Pickett was just criminal.

Even so I think the Richmond premiership team would've seen the game out. Don't think we are that this year.
We used to win with something in the tank. Now we're losing, often enough, after spending everything.
We aren’t cooked, Jesus Christ.
We just aren’t making top four, that’s all.
Looked at the ladder today and it pained me to see Geelong boring everyone on their way to third position.
Best we can hope is a home EF against the mob who just heisted is.

yep. we lost it with skill error. The vlastuin kick out was every bit as bad as bachars against freo back in the day, even in context
the dangerous tackle in front of goal WAS the WORST decision ive ever seen in my life,
but we lost it with 1. really *smile* foot skill, 2. having to fly return to WA twice in 9 days and 3. being forced to play an inexperienced ruckmen against THE best centre square ruckman in the game.
plus Yeo demolished us in the guts from start to finish.
I dont think we will win the flag.
premiers rarely make everything look that hard in June.
even our easy goals looked hard
We played pathetic football and only lost by a goal. Our year will be determined by injuries. Will be our sweetest victory if we win the flag from here....we will come home strong. We only need to play finals and have an ounce of luck. But we will charge home.
Yep. Terrible decision making by Dusty. He blew it, along with a few other senior players. He got that ball in the same spot as he drilled that goal against Bombers last week but tried to be cute.
I’m *smile* gutted.
The lack of pressure thing is league wide I reckon. The yardstick Demons, even their games against Dogs and Lions have had a practice match feel.
Its hard to get angry at Dusty after the last 4 years but I agree, he made some ordinary decisions. When he took that mark through the middle and signalled to slow everything down, he should have looked straight away and see we had 2 or 3 racing through on goal, he needed to get the ball over the top of their defence and we'd have run onto it.
The indecision when he kicked to George with what 90 seconds of so left on the clock, he had a player to his left who could have taken a mark, but scrubbed the kick through to George and he gave it back to them (again should have been looking for a mark), and then that kick from what 60m out with 15 seconds to go.
A bit more composure from the great man and we could have won, but we were only in that position due to our lack of ability to compete in the air throughout the 4th.
caddy rioli castagna...ive had enough off...short has been awful all year but that 50 was completly stupid..plus not gaurding the space with less than a minute to go in the third quater to allow ryan to jsut easily walyz up and take that nic nat kick...what kinda of lazy crap was that???...then a series of craziness in the last..dusty short castana and vlastuin...omg
With rules made to order by Hocking. He's about to become Geelong CEO. He's been allowed to pull a nice little swindle on the rest of the competition.
Where was any tall player that last 10 mins ?
Desperately missed Nank in that respect.
