Subject: Hmmm...

Aghhhhhhhhh....what a frustrating game. Don't we just want to strangle certain players?? Grrrrrr...

I'm bloody annoyed. Why do we pay money, and drive all the way to damn Geelong, sit on shat seats which hurt your back, and scream till you lose your voice, to see a performance like that? CRAP. They can stick tomorrow's family day...grrr. I hope no ones goes. As Martin said today, the cheersquad should have gone on at half time - the players didn't even look like they wanted to win, let alone play.

The first half was shocking, but I'm sure you don't all need to be reminded of it. I couldn't understand why Welsh was at full back? WHY???? He kicks *goals* for crying out loud...Biglands should have been in the ruck, maybe, and Rehn in the forward line, at least that would have given us another marking option.

Crowell was great!! He took some great marks...no one else could do that (apart from Robran's in the square! WOW!!) McGregor........AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. What a loser. He can't do anything - he's not fast, he's not mobile, he can't mark, he can't kick....AGHHHHHHHH. He is terrible!!!! And we've got him for another 3 years or something?! Get rid of him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Connell played well. It was good to see someone *trying* to get the ball from under the packs and clear it. Robran was everywhere...:) Go Matt!!! Rehn was good - 23 hit outs or something.

On the way home, on the radio, they said McLeod was the best for the Crows? I can't understand this....and when I checked his stats on the AFL website, he had the most possessions and everything. Hmmm, suprising? Where did they all go??? I think they need an 'effective possessions' category. If he hadn't won those Norm Smith Medals, he certainly wouldn't be named in the best players, week in, week out.

Also, the AFL website stats showed we had more of the ball in every way - kicks, marks, handballs, tackles, etc...yet we were way behind on centre clearances...shouldn't they be working on that at training? Instead of tackling hard? Grr.

What happened when Biglands charged at that Geelong guy and took him to the ground? I heard that the umpire called play on, so Biglands tackled him...so shouldn't that have been holding the ball? Then the umpire reversed his play on call...bloody umpires...Geelong born and bred, obviously.

Like someone (Gaye??) said, there will have to be a few reports. That guy that got Eccles, surely. That was unecessary to tackle him like that. A payback, maybe?? Poor guy...AFL website said a neck injury???

I saw Smarty go down, but I just thought he had the crap knocked out of him...geeessshhhhhh. They said only 3 weeks though. Back for the showdown??

Another thing I couldn't understand was when Geelong's player went down behind the goals, the Geelong cheersquad were screaming how bad it was, and booing our players...eh? Did they see Eccles get knocked out?

The umpiring was shocking, some of those decisions!!! Especially that one on our 50, when we could have got a goal!!!

Goodwin kicked 2.4....aghhhhhhh. Caven gave away heaps of free kicks...he has to go - too slow.

Oh well, I'm re-thinking my membership for next year. Until they get rid of that mug of a coach, they're not getting money from me.
