Going by AFL.com's goal map, looks like we're being pushed wide when going forward rather than looking to go down the corridor. Those watching, is that accurate? All our shots have been outside the 60o V you'd generally wanting to stay inside. Houli's goal was right on that borderline, I reckon. Need to straighten up.

I'm trying to understand how we can be clearing then the next name I hear is Geelong kicking a goal???

What's going on? Bartel kicks a goal 8.5.53 ... smashing us. Kicked the last 7 goals.

We've barely touched the ball.

What's going on? Chapman lining up again...

We're struggling. Even getting slammed on our kick ins.

Not getting a hand on it from the centre, our only hope at the moment is when they kick a behind and then we're blowing it. What's going on?

There's is just no leadership out there at present and everyone seems to shell shocked to actually try and take on some responsibility.

But f***, Geelong are bloody impressive

Yet again fall down going inside 50. Just starting to get some running happening and a bit of possession. Stanton kicks a behind.

Winderlich running hard by the sound.

Goal to Stanton

It's not like we are insipid. Sometimes you just have to say "too good".

Jobe 55m out lining up. Behind.

Ryder sounds like he's giving Mooney a bath, but he's the only player on the park getting a win.
