I have a gut feeling that Murph is reading the tea leaves about the future without him as captain and wants out

And..I reckon his 'foot' injury will play out for longer than expected. There's something very smelly (not about the foot ) but about his public comments, his injury and the perception that we play better when Cripps leads.

One thing that stood out for me was the clean hands of Fisher, Dow and SPS in the dewey conditions.

Whately used to be so measured and objective. Has totally changed since he's been 'Hutchyed' and crossed over to SEN.
Really used to balance out Robbo's buffoonery on 360, but he's now morphed into a geekier, 'Mr Burnsier' version of him.

Geelong are one of the most frustrating teams to play. Not because they are better than us but because of their whinging for frees and fanfare about Ablett who spent the game spiking to the umpires. Was hoping Daisy would knock his block off.

fragile ego is one of the reasons he should just play, and hand over the captaincy.
I reckon he has never recovered from wife comments ...most unfortunate but it got to him big time.

Dwayne called Ablett the best player of all time. He is not even the best player in his family .

☺️☺️ sorry, I love that joke .

I think Gazza deserves the best player title.
He is just getting on. Must be frustrating for him. also does not excuse the hideous 'fold like an accordion' tricks he was using last nite.

Typical post-game interview by Chris 'Serena' Scott. After behaving like a petulant child in the coaching box about umpiring decisions he never once acknowledges the efforts of the opposition. Blues took a significant step against Geelong, they'll pass them soon enough. The measure is about the endeavour and across each line we were pretty good. Leadership is so important in the modern game and in the Cripps v Selwood battle, Crippa tore him a new one. The Cats appear to have big ego problems Danger and Selwood work but bring in the ego of Ablett and now no one wants to get the ball.

It was an O'shame we lost but I wouldn't really say this game was the one that got away. Can't expect to win without a functioning forward line

The boys put in.They had a go.They didn't turn it up...........so,yeah,as far as losses go I'm happy.I think this much maligned defensive game suits us and is our brand.I think the attacking style will evolve slowly and in its own time .Dont force it,stick to what we know and do best.........and hopefully we take it up to Sydney next week COZ i reckon we got a big scalp just around the corner.Sydney are the masters of the chokehold but don't like there own medicine.Really believe we can pull off a big upset.

PS..............for the first time in a long time we have genuine elite talent........its just a matter of time........and i wouldn't be too concerned about Lochie O"Brien coz he puts his head over the footy despite his slight frame.He aint scared.

He did drop a mark or two and did seem to panic when there were footsteps in the vicinity - and his much vaunted elite disposal has still to manifest itself as yet.

I’m not writing him off yet but pick 10 would seem to be a reach.

Agree. Polished and assured. Kicking of each was a struggle at times but good hands.

Some poor decision making in the senior group last night

Gary Ablett Jr is the greatest mercenary of all time. Used family as an excuse to go to the GC, took the cash and then when he realised they were going nowhere, used family to get back to Geelong

Nothing will make me happier than to see Gee NOT win a flag with him and that flog dressed up as Mr. John Citizen, Patrick Dangerfield...oh and you can add Selwood to that group

FFS, His sister was suicidal and eventually took her life. Is that not good enough for you?

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

What about the other 500 personal stories that are out there that don't get media coverage that the Ablett's get?
He could've taken personal leave like so many others. Bottom line is that he 'checked out of GC' pretty early on

The family situation is tragic and I'm not being flippant about it but go back through the records and you'll find that family was also used as a way to soften the departure from Geel

I will stand by my opinion that he is a mercenary

Having lived in Geelong for over 25 years
Now living in Busselton WA
I can say that Geelong supporters are bar
None the worst most painful group out

Ablett sister passing away had little to do
With him coming back
Pissed off for the money then cracks it and Geelong
Fall over themselves with his return


Too many egos at Catland
You don’t recruit 34 year olds unless you think
It can deliver a flag

The fact that they walked out of the ground before
The final siren when Melbourne flogged them when Enright
Played his 300 Th game but they almost have an orgasm when
The bald headed traitor returns sums them up

A pack of load grade country bumpkin turd munchers

As for the Albetts there all a bit weird

And Gaz ain’t a team player
Got a lot of cheap and easies last night

One of the greats but Father Time has arrived

I lived in Geelong for 3 years....4 years in Perth and 20 years in Adelaide....there aint much daylight between them....take your pick.
