Game Day AFL NAB Challenge 1 match discussion - Gold Coast v Geelong

[Zouz Kitty]

Gore going for shot on goal *closes eyes + crossing fingers*

 

[dazbroncos]

Lang, Gore, Gregson…

Travelling nicely.

Go Catters

 

[winty]

Youngsters Gore, Gregson and Lang sound impressive early. Good to see.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Darcy Lang, my man, im claiming him!

NO!! You have to share him lol

 

[Teriyakicat]

Kelly and bartel with 7 disposals each
Lang with a free, gets it to Gore just inside 50 and will take the shot from 50. Lands a little short but was online- a plus

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Clark looks like a bloke who hasn't played in 2 years

Good time to clear off the rust.

 

[Teriyakicat]

The old boys in mackie Duncan combine and mots finishes- offline

 

[Frappe]

Is that Luxford down back?

All the new players featuring reasonably well.

 

[carn_the_cattas]

Any free online stream?

 

[Teriyakicat]

12 I50s Cats to 8 from CG.
Cats not capitalising on their opportunities

 

[Willo_]

Good time to clear off the rust.

Absolutely this is what practice matches are for

 

[Willo_]

Geez Gregson has some wheels... and some confidence

 

[Teriyakicat]

Gee gregsons got wheels!!! hawkins roves to Kersten's contest

Two Suns went up for the mark in front of goal- KERSTEN appplied pressure from behind. Ball went down- in comes Tommy
Goal!

 

[Teriyakicat]

Blicavs spoils but ball goes into the corridor
Goal to the Suns

 

[mrnatural48]

Liking what I see of Lang and Gregson.

 

[Teriyakicat]

Cats 3.2.20
Suns 3.3.21

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Great reflexes. That's one of his strengths. I like it

The thing I liked most about it was that a lot of players get the red mist as soon as they apply a tackle. Smedts was smart enough to read the situation immediately and just from what we know of our Billie, he's the sort of player I'd expect to hang on in that situation and possibly try to drag his opponent to the ground, just to make a certainty of the free kick.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Hawkins definitely up and about.

 

[you pick one]

Cats 97 possession to 70 we're still over using it,I'd like us to be more direct with the new forward set up.

 

[Teriyakicat]

1st Q stats:

 

[Willo_]

Kel and Jimmy showing them how its done in the middle. Gregson eager and gets to the right spots it seems, Lang hard at it, Luxford gets to the right spots a bit.
Gore did a couple of nice things as did JK.

Clark battled but has plenty of rust to blow out, Lucey looks like a bloke playing his first real game which is to be expected.

 

[TheJimmyCartel]

A lot of positives there!

None of the young guys looked out of place, Gregson and Lang looking confident.

 

[Chappycats]

Geez Gregson has some wheels... and some confidence

Love seeing the young fellas take them on, might not work every time but that's generally what got them drafted and is a strength so they should use it. They also then work out how much quicker the game is at the top level and can adjust accordingly!

 

[Teriyakicat]

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

The guys looking good so far. Gregson, Gore, Lang & Luxford impressed. Everyone looks super fit. TBone looks like he could rip your head off.

Blitz first defensive error cost us a goal. He'll learn.
