Game Day 2nd Semi Final - Geelong vs GWS

[JohnZ]

So going by Geelongs form it will be 20 minutes of trying to hold the lead rather than trying to score

Nah we surely learnt from the Dees game.

 

[Shell]

I’ll be retiring to the shed and listening to the radio if that happens.

Ha 1994 semi final v carlton i refused to go into the house and even listen to the game on the radio, until the very end of the match.

Atkins a good job on Taranto who has been a big factor in previous weeks. Good coaching move( for a change)

 

[catempire]

Harsh, Atkins has kept the dangerous taranto quiet all night

Wow.

The Melb game is fresh in the memory banks unfortunately

GWS isn't Melb and this isn't a dead rubber

 

[catscratchfever]

Well. . .Greater Western Sydney IS Boganville

I've had to go there a few times for work, it makes Corio and Norlane look like high society.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Thanks to the Dees game and Atkins trying to be a bull this is a nervous Q.

they aren’t Melbourne.

if we lose from here we honestly just don’t deserve to be there next week or the week after, and I can go to bed in peace with conclusiveness we don’t deserve it.

 

[Shell]

YES

 

[Kyuss]

Bang

 

[The_Todd07]

Does that count as a snap

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Close has been REALLY good tonight

 

[Cataholic]

Close!

 

[cats_09]

Close with the snap

 

[Grimoz]

That will do

 

[OddYears]

That’s it. Kill em

 

[PzBlinky]

Nice start - lucky bounce, but Close in best position to cash in.

[Stocks_go_Up]

Still can't believe we gave up a similar lead to Melbourne at home... lol

 

[dazbroncos]

Finally a good bounce...


CLOSE!!!

Go CAtters

 

[catscratchfever]

That was Close!

 

[hoopla]

Lucky Holmes wasn’t in the goal square to take that goal

 

[catstorm]

Did we seriously just get a crumbers goal

 

[Pollywaffle]

Holmes has spudded it up at times but his youthful energy, attack on the ball and relatively clean disposals are so much better than Dalhaus or Higgins

Hope you realise my tongue was wedged firmly in the cheek there..

 

[Spazz Cat]

they still have bloody elite players out there even tonight.

I can’t see a single reason to keep him on. That side should have at least won a flag given what it was gifted. I don’t see how being serviceable this season changes that. He probably had to do something remarkable to keep his spot.

see what happens next year, but if He doesn’t deliver something next year he should be moved on with the ridiculous talent he has had

They have zero forward line. They are all injured.
Wouldn't be criticising them tonight.
But yeah if they get even a half decent injury run next year and don't do something really good. He should be gone.
