    I have been beside myself with despair after last night's game but all the people I text (and of course they barrack for other teams as I fly the flag practically by myself here) say that we didn't do that badly. Maybe they are being kind to me or we are being tooooo critical and pessimistic?

    I love Teddy and Kennedy...(well there you go Teddy Kennedy!!!!!) and would like Mcglynn except for his roast to Reid. Sure he made a mistake but McGlynn misses targets too. Smith is great. Craig Bolton looked handsome in the stands......The Cats are still a good side

    Very disappointed with Jimmy Bartel....rainy night and he didn't wear the long sleeves and his new haircut just didn't do it for me!!!

    He was on the receiving end of being buried in the mud at least 5 times by 3 plus cats with head high contact. Why! How did they get away with it? Poor umping I would say but I didn't think the cats were dirty players, but I was wrong.

    We had 4 kids who were born in 1991 on the ground. Experience is the issue. It will get better. No flag this year, but I can see good cohesiveness as a group (I am not counting the 4th). Its there, we need Bulldog back to steer the ship (yep, I do believe in his ability to read play way ahead of the action) and Pyke to work with Mumms; they are both capable of playing up forward very well indeed, it could be a major tag team if the PTB are game enough to try.
    I reckon he got a few frees for those indiscretions.

    That deserved a roast. It wasn't a case of missing a target, all he had to do was move it forward, anywhere, just don't kick it out of bounds. McGlynn was in the goalsquare with barely a Geelong player inside 50.

    We are building a side at the moment with a lot of new faces so we will get nights like Sat night especially against the very good sides. If we're playing like that next year I'll be less tolerant but this year I'll put up with some poor performances.

    Those of us Watchers who were at the Ressies game will tell you that Mike was BOG. Hows about that! Seaby, Kennelly, Moore, TDL, LRT, Meredith, these are senior players, and Mike was BOG. Kicked 4. Got to contests, etc etc. He was also an emergency for the Seniors game. Its only a matter of time.

    Also Nico, I know Mumms got frees from being attacked, but sheeze, it was a bit vicious. Haven't the pussies gotten over the fact he left home and is living with us now?

    I do want to say something in support of White. He had Scarlett on him, and S has towelled up BBB. Not shameful to be held, big learning curve, he hasn't had a stopper like that before if my memory serves me right (I have a shocking memory, except for footy stuff....).

    But it looked like McGlynn lead to the boundary on TV and that's where Reid aimed it, only it was a crap kick.

    McGlynn had every right to pay Reid out for that kick. He had run his butt off to set up a certain goal and the kick just had to be near him and in play . Age has nothing to do with a kick like that. It was probably the worst clanger which cost us a goal,worse than Everitt who actually appeared to handball legitimately after his brain fade.I thought he was a bit stiff as the Umpires had sometimes let that one go.If we take out our skill errors in front of our goals and our clangers in front of theirs, we would have been breathing down their necks!

    When Reid first got the ball, McGlynn was jumping up and down in the goalsquare miles in the clear.

    The young bloke had a shocker but i'm not giving up my ticket to the bandwagon just yet. Good players learn more from their bad games than they do from their good ones so he'd have learnt a lot from that performance.

    We didn't play wet weather footy - simple. Too many times second to the ball, plus continued to try and play the dry weather style.

    Wet weather means get in low and be in front. Keep the ball moving.. simple really
