Didnt chuck the towel which is a plus......................fact is we didnt get our hands on the pill enough.Not enough blokes getting enough ball.And we didnt run hard enough.I actually wasnt impressed last night particularly as twoo of our best players were two of our oldest in Judd and Carrots.When will our young blokes stand up ? i want a young bloke to take the bull by the horns and sieze the moment.Bell,Levi,Graham,im talking to you ! perfect oppurtunity last night for a young bloke to announce he had arrived on the main stage.No appearance yout worship.Time for a young bloke to grab a game by the scruff of the neck and win a game off his own boot.There were pivotal moments in that game last night that shift momentum.Game breaking moments and i reckon we let them slip.As far as im concerned anything but a win in the last two games is a fail for the year....................after the magoos pisspoor effort today i am in a foul mood.

This is my biggest knock on Murphy and Gibbs
Because they are senior players and onballers they must set the example that losing is not on the agenda
That's what separates Selwoods and Fyfes from them

Gibbs will win are B and F this year and probably be All Australian. He has improved so much this year.
I have been his harshest critic and happy to eat my words but his last 10 minutes were terrible. A lollypop pass which resulted in a turnover then a feeble chase on the wing where he pointed to one of our youngsters to chase. When it truly counts.

Agree entirely. I was watching Gibbs as that play unfolded thinking wtf is he doing?!? And Murph missed that set shot in the 3rd q. He has form with these. Remember the final in Perth? It's just as well he seems to miss them early in games otherwise people would be stringing him up.

Might have something to do with injuring his back in the warm up.

I know this may sound a little harsh, but having watched this game twice (at the game and replay on TV) I think it is very hard for those who were watching the TV to get a real handle on what happened in the last 10 mins of the game.

You could clearly see players trying hard to provide an option, but their legs couldn't carry them fast enough to make space from their geelong opponent. And nobody should be criticizing Gibbs as he bust his arse all game and with limited rotations for half the game, he was part of the reason we were defending a lead in the first place.

Looks like I picked a good night to go to my 1979 HSC class reunion, instead of watching us on the end of a good old fashioned reaming.

Depends... Did you pull out the 1979 GF at the reunion??

Poor old Mark Stevens, still having a sook about Mick's post match presser

Similar injuries to Collingwood and they didn't even give a yelp against Brisbane last night.

Gibbs & Jamo injured in the warm up. Ellard gets subbed in the second. Then does Thomas & Menz meanwhile Yazz is hobbling around for the last half.

What happened to Gibbs and jamo?

With no Pendles, Cloke, Elliott and Beams - could they lose to GWS next week ?

some fair points

What did you think of the last 70 seconds where it looked as if we were milking the clock?

The bird had flown the coup by then Crets.................plenty of pivotal moments before then.
