[Hoops]

Ollie is going who the **** is Curtis Stone

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Looks like STAND footy is Collingwood's kryptonite

Just chip the ball around

Surely any team that is capable of it (Richmond wont be able to), will play keepings-off from the Pies for the rest of the year.

Chaos footy can't beat possession footy in the STAND era, I reckon

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

I reckon those cheapie umpire gifts for Curnow and Mackay dry up a bit come finals. I'd be worried if I were a Blue.

Not sure Curnow can get any less than he's been getting since round 6.
8 frees in 11 games. Maybe the umps are trying to battle harden him in advance. Awfully nice of them.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

How many uncontested marks for the Cats?

Why didn't the Pies react? Were they zoning off all night or something?

Zoning out.

 

[Bunnings]

Essendon had an off night
Hawks were due a loss
Pies had injuries

How bloody lucky are us Catters!

 

[hutchy31]

Poor game imo. Started off well but neither side showed much offensively imo.

The final score looks good but it’s skewed by the start. From halfway through the first quarter it was 126 points for 3.5 quarters of footy on a big ground with no excuses.

My team aren’t great, so it’s not a good footy watching year for me. But as a neutral neither of these teams are any good either. They’re making up the numbers in September.

 

[Moonatic77]

Looking like the Lachie Schultz trade is going to wash up around pick 7 or 8, plus pick 34.

Oof, and with a list dying for a rebuild which is now going to coincide with the compromised Tassie draft/trade years.

Make you feel a little better after last years grandfinal?

Didn't hit the points total in your multi?

I think the Cats strategy was working most of the night, denying Pies their game enough, and capitalising on i50. In the end Collingwood looked impotent.

 

[MediocreLad]

Pies Back 2 back…. Friday losses

 

[Red Bull]

Time for pies to focus on the draft now

 

[STPer18]

Lawson Humphries for pick 63.

Thank you pies, and thank you Geelong.

Next up - hawks to be humiliated tomorrow, then bounce back breathing fire for a BIG win next weekend. Come on pick 6!

(And then suns to do port and get us on our way to their pick 9 or 10)

 

[hutchy31]

Didn't hit the points total in your multi?

No, I didn’t. But it was a smaller bet, the big one is cats into demons so that’s alive and I’m broadly content with tonight

But it’s not really bet-related. As a supporter of a team who can’t win the flag, I’m interested in being entertained by other teams. Geelong and Collingwood tried to be attacking tonight but they’ve got too many players who butcher the ball. I’d be pretty surprised if either are around when the whips are cracking in September.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Lawson Humphries for pick 63.

Will Stewart get a delayed concussion tomorrow?

Your optimism is worrying

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Oh boy, wowee!

100 marks to Geelong in the second half did Bucks say?

If they meet again in finals, maybe the frenetic atmosphere wil help break things up, but that is a sleeper-hold Colllingwood has to find some way of wriggling out of.

What's the answer?

 

[MJG14]

Journo asking McRae about the Stengle non-HTB. Would be nice if journalists knew the rules because there was no tackle there.

That was a weird call to bring up there was no tackle completed

 

[Elixuh]

Highlight of the night was hearing Steve Hocking telling BT about how much money they need from the Vic government to build their next rort which is apparently all for the benefit of the 'community'. Pull the other leg catters.

Maybe. I’m not sure that’s a winning strategy. They were a couple of straight set shots from grabbing momentum and winning the game.

Cats are the best-coached team in the comp. I’d want to get them out of finals and/or avoid them in finals if I was a contender.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Is there a by-law which prevents any Geelong player from being removed from a game due to a head knock? I swear they never even get taken for a concussion assessment.

Well you'd be wrong
