Game Day 1st Semi-final: Geelong vs Collingwood, Sat 10 Oct GABBA @ 7.40pm AEDT

[cats_09]

Collingwood scoreless in the second quarter and really, in general play they haven't looked dangerous

 

[Play it Sam]

Are you sure Scotty hasn't returned to Geelong and the players are coaching themselves?

It's all on the players tonight.
Scotty won't get any credit of course,
but tell Buckley it's the lowest half time final score in 60 years.

 

[DV2000]

This is a reversal of the 2010 prelim final! Amazing!

Leading possession winners

Duncan 19
Dangerfield 12
Menegola 12
Guthrie 11
Hawkins 11
Stewart 11

We have 8 of the 9 leading possession winners on the ground, and Collingwood have the bottom 10.

wow, this is unexpected.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Must go on with it guys..fantastic halfbut this is not over yet.

 

[cats_09]

Is this our best half all year?

Up there with the Essendon match

This is a final so that probably gives it a couple of extra points

 

[Cataholic]

Does the fat lady even needs to warm up or bother?

Tell her to stfu for another quarter

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Absolutely cut through them with run and carry from our defenders pushing up high into play. Stewart Henry bews doing amazing running off the contests when we win the ball.

 

[Turbocat]

get it forward, knock it forward, kick it forward .... hows that for a game plan


then kick straight

 

[xtatik222k]

Everyone taking the right amount of risk and being team oriented. Rohan is working his ass off. Danger with two boundary checkside goals... It's all working for us isn't it?

 

[allrighty]

Cats have been awesome but pies have been pitiful! Love both of these facts!!!

I'm not watching. How's Eddie's head?

 

[dazbroncos]

Last week players were not this hard at it.

they just werent. They played hardbut not like this.... tis a noticable difference and while the Pies have played their GF last week, we are not giving them sniff either.

This footy beats anyone on our day.

Go Catters

Time to open the Preliminary Final preview thread cats_09

Keep the lid on.

 

[Live in hope]

Loving the wrong footing then cutting back through the middle.

Loving the straight lining and long low flat punts from Stewart and Bews.

Few possessions but Simpson is a revelation.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Easy money.

 

[Play it Sam]

DO NOT take foot off pedal.
They will come out punching with red arses.

 

[nohairandfair]

Didn't expect that. Massive half. Things just clicking and a few playing out their skins such as Duncan.

Only blip is Bews who turns it over incessantly.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Simpson has been really impressive.bold call to bring him in but good call.

 

[xtatik222k]

get it forward, knock it forward, kick it forward .... hows that for a game plan


the kick straight

So many contests geelong players just knocking it forward. Reckon I've seen it 10 times. Usually we hardly see it once.

the kick straight

Beating them at their own game.
They play this style next week, and they can give anyone a game of it.

 

[Pollywaffle]

Only Geelong can loose it from here.
( it is the Gabba after all)
Impressive..
Really impressed with Simpsons composure..

Would love to see Gazza win another flag before his legendary career ends.

Dare say this is the best finals performance the Catters have put in since the 2011 Granny !

It’s what makes following this team so ****ing frustrating. So inconsistent in finals.
