AFL 2020 Round 14 - Dogs v Cats Fri August 28th 7:50pm AEST (Metricon)

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

He needs help. A young ruckman who's run out of steam in the last quarter can look very ordinary. He'll build his endurance and learn a few tricks to keep in the game when he's tiring and he'll be fine.

Haven't watch many dogs games this year but his only good game was against Essendon and its was against Philips

It was curious to hear BT banging on about Dangerfield's "white socks" during the game. They looked pretty obviously to be the standard Geelong socks rolled up so that the navy hoops were obscured. What's stranger is that I distinctly remember for some bizarre reason Guthrie and Taylor Hunt used to do something very similar several years ago.

 

[Generalissimo]

Shut up you f**kwit, umpire

Why do they blow their whistle and scream "ADVANTAGE! ADVANTAGE!"

Here's an idea: just don't blow your whistle

Because then nobody would notice them.

 

[azyboy]

I have a better statistical career than Gary Rohan.

Good for you

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

I still dont know what the umpires have not clamped down on the selwood two handed above your head throw, he started doing it in last years PF and its laughable, its a throw

Yep, first bloke to do it in the history of footy, invented it really.

 

[_Mike_]

Scott got his players to slow the game right down to a tempo that suited the strength and height of his team, effectively stopping the Dogs momentum in its tracks. Clawing their way back in to the game and taking control it was straight forward from there.

 

[Angus Young]

Commiserations Dogs, started so well, I thought you had the game tbh.

I knew they were ****ed and it was over after JJ couldn't ice it from 20m out and Geelong got on top right after that absolute lazy kick.

 

[Hamingja]

I have a better statistical career than Gary Rohan.

I was on the fence when we picked him up to be honest.

Sort of player you have to watch week in and week out to appreciate I think.

He almost suffers from originally being a top draft pick as people expect more.

From an athletic perspective he'd be pretty close to Danger.

He is just not that sort of footballer though and you need to accept that he is what he is.

He’s the perfect definition of stats aren’t everything. Good win by Geelong tonight. I’m flat as

 

[Chinacats]

That's the perfect game to demonstrate the value of Rohan when he's in form. Stuff all disposals, only a few tackles (the stats don't record mega tackles though, the ones that completely swing the momentum of the game, a Rohan specialty), wasn't holding his marks, a couple of goals (including the sealer when we were basically home anyway) and yet he was probably our most important player in the second half when the game was up for grabs.

I'll take 10 disposals and a goal per game on average from him if he dishes up a performance like that once a month.

Yeah gotta hold those marks though.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Better question is what were Geelong doing in the first quarter

 

[Teal Leviathan]

I wasn't able to watch the game, but to come back from a 6-goal blitz as of quarter time speaks well of Geelong's adaptability and mental fortitude. The result speaks to their premiership credentials more than an easy victory would've, IMO.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

I literally just realised Gary Rohan is playing

Bang, bang, 2nd best on behind Danger.

For those who were listening to BT and wondering what I'm talking about, see the below evidence of Guthrie/Hunt's strange superstition with the socks, something that Hunt continued at Richmond.







Guthrie has had a few of these weird customs over the journey, I remember him wearing long sleeves for half a game and going sleeveless for the second half for an extended period.

 

[00VicWard001]

A test of Bevo's coaching genius coming up.

D+

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Fat lady is warming up surely. Gonna be a comeback for the ages if Cats win this.

And it was quite a comeback.

The Bulldollups lost two important players in Mason Wood and Vandameer then folded like a pack of cards.It was pitifull but not a bad game to watch .

 

[00VicWard001]

All clubs throw
Even the noble Tigers

And they stage too I’ve been led to believe. Except of course the noble Tigers.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Dangerfield deserves 6 votes for this game. Was the difference.

 

[Arctic fox]

Bet dogs wish they had Essendon next game

What,the way we do comebacks? No way.

 

[00VicWard001]

if the cats lose this and we beat them when we play them, they will drop out of the 4, even if they win the other 3 games and WC will take there place. Get then win dogs, make it happen!

Fingers and toes crossed eh?

Bad luck, eh?

 

[00VicWard001]

I feel like a dog supporter now. After the game, i might just go and steal a few cars!

Since that didn’t work out, how about you just head back to the injecting room.

 

[00VicWard001]

As much as people don’t like Hawkins. He is the best set shot in the AFL.

Kennedy and Dusty are up there.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Hawkins looking at a fine for his off the ball hit on Gardner?

Wasn't a hit it was a fend off, he was creating space Tom Lynch style
