Is it possible that the commentators are getting worse every week?

Today's early gem is that Geelong lost their first two matches before a draw last week


And Moloney had an early chance from outside 50 but the ball bounced the wrong way once in the goal square

Scott with her first goal for the season

Good to see Caitlan Thorne straight into the guts

And they've worked out this week that Kenny isn't just "Irish woman"

 

[cats_09]

Loving what Featherston has bought this year - not taking a backward step, gets her body in the way and just keeps competing

Featherston def improve heaps ...

We're a bounce happy team today

Webster has been taking lessons from Holmes, and is already up to 4 or 5 bounces in the first quarter

While Ling just had a couple of bounces herself, running the ball from the 50 to the top of the goal square for a nice goal

 

[cats_09]

Two throws in a row against GC not called - you can't throw the ball up with one hand and then punch it with the other

Happy to see Morrison convert, but Scott should have had a kick from the goal square for her second

And brilliant goal from Kenny with a kick from outside 50 just before the siren

Unlike teammate Ling, this one bounced truely for our Irish lass and Darby(?) did a great job to legally block her opponent from getting a touch

The Kenny goal

 

[cats_09]

It's amazing how much better we look when we can get the ball into our forward one quickly and have open space to work with

 

[cats_09]

I was unsure of Kenny after the past couple of weeks, but she's definitely impressed me today - her kicking style is beautiful, she gets good length on her kicks and they aren't these up & under kicks we see from some players

More commentary gems... Parry gets a game in her 50th

And curious why that wasn't a 50m to D. Moloney

She's paid a free kick, umpire clearly signals it's her free kick and the GC player returns the ball to Rowbottom instead - isn't that the simplest of 50m penalties to pay?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Okay. Some scoreline that.
Maybe we don't need to sack two coaches this summer. Just the one.

 

[Strange Cat]

Got to laugh at the GC player on the ground scared shitless after starting shit

Hilarious

 

[cats_09]

Good way to get our first win of the season

 

[cats_09]

Just a lazy 57% made up today - need to take this momentum into the coming weeks and keep playing our style

[Chinacats]

Run and carry much better today that helped with transition at speed. 10 goals off turnover and better connectivity going forward as it was more open due to their speedy play.
A. McDonald tagged out of it for the most part , but still an easy win.
Morrison, A Maloney best….

 

[cats_09]

Think they enjoyed the win

Love seeing the family support - from GC academy to debuting in the hoops, it's a good story for Caitlan, and reckon the Surman connection can be thanked for getting her down to Vic and into the hoops
