Why is it criticism?
The reality is that Cameron is doing what he’s doing and we’re winning.
You can’t compare the reality of something to a hypothetical of May dominating. Because then any of us could create a hypothetical of Rohan dominating or Stengle dominating. What if can go back and forth.
If there was a game this year where this tactic failed - then we could assess it and criticise aspects of it.

But our system was good coming into the finals in 2011.

I think it was super slippery. Stengle and Hawkins had some terrible shots at goal too. And you wouldn’t expect that.

Early in the game after I think Miers hand passed to Stengle very instinctively I noticed that. Those three are really started to gel together, not just with the talls.
It's not often you see a lazy 10 goal win.
Cats seemed to to purring along... rarely getting out of 2nd gear.
Yet seemed to be first to every contest to swiftly whisk the ball away.
The transition from the slowest team last year to the quickest is remarkable.
The Cats were so dominant at one stage Q2 repeatedly pumping the ball into F50
it appeared they were having marking practice drills.
The game was won by half time...The 2nd Half is where some bad habits crept in..
Either bombing the ball forward quickly in hope, or looking for a perfect target rather that kicking at goal.
Late in the game the over possession seemed like a comedy of errors, with over 10 rushed disposals
Until Touhy kicked a quick snap from the pack.
It is always dangerous to flirt with form...
A hard training session before the WCE game and "managing" the offenders will help them refocus.
Danger's goal kicking was woeful. Spraying left then right before losing confidence and passing to a crowed Hawkins.
He needs a long session of goal kicking practice to sort out his kicking, and to regain his confidence.
The biggest worry today was potential injury.
Stanley winced from a bump and was immediately subbed out and placed in cotton wool.
Clearly they were not taking any risks with our in form ruckman.... or any other player.
Expect Ceglar to play next week ... we definitely could use an extra marking target inside F50.

I agree.
I also think that if/when we come up against Melbourne in the finals, we will play Stanley and Ceglar.

Na i don't see us doing 2 rucks again this year just Stanley/Blics or Ceglar/Blics
If Ceglar had of been fit earlier in the year i think we would of tried it think it is to late now

Honestly how lucky are we to have Stengle? And how much will his absence cost Richmond and Adelaide? With the right nurturing, this kid will be the next Stevie J. He is a 10/10. Such a gun. Watching the replay he's just so dangerous with the ball in his hands approaching goal. Can kick them from any angle, can duck and weave through traffic, lightning quick and not a bad set shot either. Weapon!
He's a very dangerous player. You can't give him an inch, and with his wheels, that's hard to do !
Probably him and Pickett are the two best small forwards in the league imho
Not sure the huge fear factor is warranted about Melbourne?? They are 5 wins 6 losses since the 10 game mark of the year, and got out of jail tonight… could easily be 4 wins 7 losses.
They are looking very average.
There is no rule what constitutes and doesn’t constitute an injury sub?? If he is feeling precautionary sore and we want to remove him then it shouldn’t be such a dramatic point.
It is quite an afforded luxury to want to bring on listed player 23 and it improves your team. We have some top notch depth

holmes wouod be an emerging star if he had a better kick.
Any better and it would be off the chart.

On limited evidence it seems we are 5 or 6 goal better side when he ditches the sleeves then

This makes my feel uncomfortable ... like my divorced parents being nice to each other!
What a game. We just cruised on through to a sixty point win.
Now we've got the Eagles at their favourite absolute venue--GMHBA.
I don't know if it was broadcast, but after Rohan's bit of brilliance taking on two Suns players (at the end of the 3rd from memory) it felt like half the team got around him to pat him on the head. Darty lead the party as usual with a huge grin on his beautiful, dopey face. His energy for his teammates and how he hypes them up is brilliant. I love that. It lifts the whole team.
Don't know if it has been mentioned already, but Dew's story in his presser about he and Scotty ending up in the coach toilets together at half-time was hilarious. I liked this quote in particular:
lmao
Also I've never seen so many babies at the footy. Those baby hoop guernseys are so cute and I commend those parents for brainwashing their kids young. That's the Geelong spirit. Darty would be proud.
Finals nerves / excitement starting to kick in already. Let's go boys!!!
His kicking has no penetration. They float. Makes it hard for the fowards.
love that he is carrying the ball more now.

The way Cameron is playing is the role Gaz snr would play if he was in the league today.
Like a heat seeking missile.
