Great win by the BABY CATS!

Yeah, that’s right, we are a young side.

Holmes, Knevitt, Dempsey, Neale and Humpries all 21.

Plus Clark at 19!

That’s 6 of our 22 aged 21 and under. If it was any other team it would be the stuff of headlines.

With O.Henry also 21 to come back at some stage, no rush, get him fit again.

Stewart in the midfield isn’t too bad. Get him around the ball, he was improving during the game.

Danger, he’s a star. If he’s fully fit we will always be a chance.

SDK, not the best for ruck but provides more than Stanley and a very nice kick. Conway is the future, get him playing when he is right.

It's good to hear the theme song again. 10 goals to 2 in the second half had a lot more influence on the game than a free kick for a deliberate rushed behind.

 

[cats_09]

Essendon ended up with 60 inside 50s for 9 goals. The last few weeks they would've scored 20 goals+ with that amount of ball going forward. Sensational effort by the backline tonight.

60 inside 50s for 60 points...

So they essentially scored 1 behind per entry - that's a shocking conversion rate

 

[Just do something]

11 different goal kickers been awhile since we have done that I’d imagine.

 

[Romeoh1]

Yeehaa- a win! Best we have played for a couple of months. Good on you cats.

I will have trouble explaining the bright orange and rock solid bowel movements to my doctor but it was worth the physical pain

Welcome to the big time Lawson

 

[cats_09]

Is that the Geelong bloke who does piss take mimics of famous people?

I don't think so, it looks to be the real Jon Ralph

When I click the tweet and then Ralph's name to get his profile, this is what shows

Needs reposting because it will get lost in the game day thread.

COMMENTATORS LEARN THE RULES.

Shhhhh it'll be funnier if we just tell them we paid the umpires through SHocking connections

If the rule wasnt invented to stop that bomber player running the ball over the line with no pressure then we may as well discard the rule.

John Ralph is a card carrying Richmond supporting Geelong hater.

He is also a bit dim.

played well I thought, a classic defenders game.

SDK follow up work in ruck was good. Perhaps a few weeks on the thick of it will get him back to his best.

Not convinced about Stewart in the guts. But good to see us try, and we didn't miss him too much up back.


Essendon are crap.

 

[Romeoh1]

Thought the bombers did get a couple of tough calls but we were comfortably better than them in the second half. We got a couple of mixed calls in first half.

 

[cats_09]

I'm not a betting person, but do these odds change after tonight?

 

[Vdubs]

Humphries and Knevitt for the rest of the season. See them grow.
Leave MOC and Mullin out. Mullin needs to develop in the 2s.

Rising star is a battle between two. Wardlaw and Dempsey.
Duncan and Tuohy still have some good games in them. Not every week. Would rest Duncan next week given he was subbed.

Happy we've experimented and tried SDK in the ruck. Keen to see how Conway goes tomorrow, does well and I'd bring him in for Hawthorn.

Should win 3 of our next 4 and get back on track.

Also Caleb Windsor- all class and Holmes like already as a first year player

 

[cats_09]

Ouch

 

[cats_09]

 

[Vdubs]

Very pleasing win. Who knows where we are at, but a win v Hawks next week will do wonders for our supporters, ladder position and confidence going forward

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Very noticeable to my eye we played hard strong footy, V lined a contest, were aggressive and spread very well.

We as supporters have asked for change and we got it.

We had 3 young players come in and play well.
Not only did they start a seasoned player as sub, they made the decision to sub off one too “albeit maybe not by choice” but in the past Duncan would’ve stayed on and a player like Clark or Knevitt would’ve been subbed.
SDK was solid without staring and I’d say he broke even with the Dons rucks.

First time in a month I’ve been confident going into a game.



Very happy

Duncan was cramping and they didnt want him to ping a calf again. But otherwise i agree.

Im not a fan of this ruck issue and we wont keep getting away with it. Must bring in conway next week.

Neale needs to go back to the vfl and work on his intensity.

But id keep humphries and knevitt in.

Better selection just need to drop one or two more vets next week (they will be but will probably be 'managed').

 

[Play it Sam]

Anyone know Blicks ruck stats? I thought he was great as the game wore on, seemed to have the big Dons measure.
Still a bit fumbly at ground level, but a great improvement. Thought the wings worked well, love that get out pass from the back line, they had it really working, at last.

The Rising Star is a race in two

Windsor isn't even in the discussion and paying double figures - Darcy Wilson is seen to be the third option behind Wardlaw & Dempsey

Does anyone actually listen to his vitriol?

Essendon are crap.

Agree with Henry, I gave him a vote, he just affected crucial contests either in our favour or to neutralise them at important times when the game was still in the balance.
