We were flat, granted. So were Geelong on Friday night. FFS, Geelong are only a team, they are not a machine and they are not unbeatable.Spinner wrote:We played shithouse today Joffa, and it was fairly blatant.
We have been carrying this sloppy form for the last few weeks and have been luckly to have played some lesser teams. Today it showed: poor disposal, poor decision making and costly turnovers.
Charman, Leunburger, Patful and Merrett didn't play, coupled with Hooper.
Riewoldt and Kossi played against kids, first gamers in fact, King and Gards rucked against nobodies.
Sorry if I don't have the same enthusiasm as your great self but that is not a performance that I believe would come close to challenging Geelong.
I'm ecstatic with the win, and rapt that we have a four game break.....but don't expect people to be talking premierships with that performance.
We won today and it is further proof of how good this side is, even when they are down on performance. They will not be up for every game. They will go through a flat spot. The fact that so far we have still won for the last 2 weeks even though we have been flat (against other potential finals contenders possibly as high as 3rd placers I might add) is proof of how good we are.
