Game Day AFL Round 22 match discussion - Geelong v Sydney

[dazbroncos]

After taking breath..... at least the adductor is not directly related to the surgical issues of the structure of the hip...

Go Catters

Sydney winning the clearances that quarter gave them more ball, more inside 50's. Our defensive pressure around the ground is first rate. Nerves showing a bit through those goal misses. Overall we look the better team so far.

Our big men are dropping like flies this year.

 

[Roadie]

All the talk on the main board is umpires.

Same story every week, best way to maintain your sanity is to stay well away from those topics.

by all reports, West starred in the VFL last night, could be a case of taking Blicavs/West into September

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Game should be over, or close to it. Why do we shoot ourselves in the foot so much? Pods forward not Blitz.

If Sydney have a good second half, we're going to be up to it in our necks.

West has tended to "star" against weak opposition - it's his often less than stellar performance against *strong* opposition that is of concern...

 

[Nankervis brothers]

Great first half. I know we should be further up, but still, the work rate, tackling, and creativity has been awesome to watch.

 

[Senatorguesty]

Geelong playing absolutely all over them, Swans flooding back hard and with tenacity are keeping within a shot but it's like a blade of grass holding back the wind, it will bend eventually.
We will break em hard I reckon, we have a good break on them considering and as long as we can continue the pressure we will break em and pile on a few quick goals as we did late that quarter.
The reason we are "bombing" it into 50 is because they are choking our forwardline, how can you spot up a lead when you have no room to lead? C'mon guys open your eyes, this isn't our gameplan, it is a direct result of the defensive nature of the Swans.

hard to use a 200 point win as a case for senior selection, otherwise the whole side could warrant being swapped.

 

[Menzelevium]

Cam Guthrie 5 kicks 5 handballs DE100% thats great.

He gets himself in the right positions too. Such an intelligent footballer, both with the ball and defending.

West has shown far more than Vardy this year.

 

[Rainfall]

I'd rather lose and finish 4th, so we beat Hawks

 

[footscore]

Varcoe has slowly been building too, only had the 7 disposals to the half but it's his work rate which is beginning to see him get to the right places to receive the ball.
3 tackles and a few which just didn't stick, be great to see him gather 12-14 in the 2nd half.

 

[footscore]

hard to use a 200 point win as a case for senior selection, otherwise the whole side could warrant being swapped.

certainly agree with that but it's better to have him listed as one of the best 3 than not so

 

[rocker_oz33]

Hope those misses turn into goals in the second.Vards looks injuried chappy back on (good he looked good)swans will get my ball with only ballroom rucking hope those misses wont hurt (too much)lets see what happens Go cats.

Great post. It also leads to a high conversion rate once the oppo get it out the back. In recent years this hasnt been a winning formula at Cat Park.

 

[James1970]

Tend to agree with Parko on ABC radio - "Swans about to get smashed in the second half."

 

[sarah.13]

Whats the story with Vards?

 

[Catdog]

Vardy back out on the ground!

 

[dazbroncos]

great team goal Geelong!!!

Go Catters

 

[alfy!]

Great work boys.

 

[manboob]

Vardy you cheeky little poacher

A fly just kicked a goal!!

 

[Catdog]

Goal to Vardy much better than an injury.
