Review AFL Round 8-Geelong defeats Carlton by 77 points

[Willo_]

Positive... good percentage booster and no injuries

Negative... i am standing up on the train back to Geelong with wobbly beer legs

 

[Skerret]

WELL SAID WAYNE CAREY, HEAR THAT NUFF NUFFS

 

[vinum coupe]

Cant take much out of that.

You know Carlton is stuffed when the cheer squad is happy a score review only gives us a point (and their team is 11 goals down)

 

[Vdubs]

I'd take Cripps too, but those four would be about it.

M E N Z E L.

Had a bad night defensively, but definitely becoming more useful offensively.

He's just got something about him. If Mots had half his effort he'd win a Brownlow!

 

[manboob]

Can't carried away given how poor Carlton were, but good to see so many youngsters play well. Maybe a slight exaggeration but I thought Thurlow was outstanding

You can tell he is A) really smart and B) been hanging around with Boris. He just has a box of tricks - smart little taps, good tackles, knows how to work the spaces etc etc. For a player who hasn't even played 20 games it's pretty amazing.

Kersten with 13 disposals at 100%

 

[Turbocat]

Really pleased with Kersten's second half, he's wanting to belong I think. Mackie was great coming from all that time off scoring 57 points in a half of footy just balances up the team down back
Rivers again strong and dependable. Great win!

He did a fair bit of dumby leads , and he seemed to do some off ball work. If can keep his spot..he should keep getting better..but if he couldn't look good against "Them" , there would be no one he could play against.

On Rivers.... What do you think Rivers , Stanley , Clark..would be thinking ina quiet moment , in the corner sipping on the sports drink... Been there done that... might not not be Premiership here at the moment but boy a lot more enjoyable playing in a side thats sings the song at the end of the game.

 

[manboob]

Not bad for someone who some people thought would be snapped in half in his first game.

That thread in the Bay is a gift that keeps on giving.

Do you mind telling me what type of tag the thread has?

FULL TIME STATS:

 

[Turbocat]

Good win Geelong. What does Guthrie have to do to get a free!
Improvement of Kersten best thing about the night.
Hate to think what the scoreline would have looked like if Selwood and Motlop had played well.
Poor Carlton.

He got a free jumper what more does he want

 

[Teriyakicat]

My guess is "FAIL"

 

[Willo_]

Mind you I said Carlton were putrid and we should smash them and was right.

Murphy gets nothing but cheap shit in the backline and doesn't hurt you, Thomas is paid 700k a year to bob up and kick 2 goals from 7 touches.
Gibbs... lol

the smooottth mooottther Yarran... L.O.L

 

[DV2000]

Very good game overall. Blicavs, Guthrie, Caddy and Murdoch were good, among others. Selwood got tagged out of the match, so it was good to see some of the others step up a bit. Curnow gave him a very hard tag. But we can't get too carried away by the result - it was against Carlton. They were poor, and have been for the whole season.
We need to build some momentum and just play some good, solid consistent footy - whether it's in a win loss or draw. Definitely a positive result overall today, we just need to keep it up.
Judging from this season's results so far, we are a middle of the road side at the moment. We get belted by the top handful of sides (sometimes we can stick with them for a quarter or two), but we can also give the bottom sides a good shove around. West Coast in Perth will be an interesting game. I feel they are a medium-level side, maybe on the slightly higher end of that group. If our tall forwards can fire, we should be in with a big chance to snag the four points (obviously with Mackenzie and Mitch Brown injured).

Gee, the Blues boys just looked flatter than a pancake, didn't they?

 

[cats2rise]

60 tackles to 35. Oh dear.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Well I wonder if watching tonight's game might have made Lachie Henderson decision to join us next year or not a bit easier?

 

[Seeds]

Positives: we won.

Negatives: spoilt and downright embarrassing supporters. I read the game day thread from hospital and was utterly appalled.

Go follow another club you pack of entitled morons.

Didn't you post that our club was insipid just a couple of hours before the game?

 

[winty]

A backfire one, and rightfully so. Find it hilarious that Podgey is there flying the flag while the OP has long gone.

 

[romeohwho]

He got a free jumper what more does he want

Haha Yep that was a nice touch.

 

[Seeds]

Guthrie played a great game in a return to the midfield tonight, tagging out Judd and some great attacking runs through the middle. Haven't all those calls to put him back in defence gone silent recently

He has also asked that SJ be dropped for the last 2 weeks.
Best to ignore.

No, unfortunately they haven't, and they still won't, there are some slow learners.

It doesn't take as many to make the legs wobbly these days
