Review Cats sink Dockers by 11 points.

[cats_09]

He got a HTB in the first quarter.

Exactly

The pressure was there until the point he hurt himself

 

[Cataholic]

Better than selwoods. And that is no slight on selwood.

Selwood is king for mine.

Very, very closely followed by Danger.

Either way, we've had them both

 

[frggr]

I feel we play better on the wider grounds than at KP this year?

Big games are played on big grounds

 

[Zouz Kitty]

How soon can we start that fund

Prior to this year I've been to one interstate match - 2017 preliminary final

This year I've traveled back to Adelaide for our round 2 clash, up to the Gabba and now out west to Optus

Guessing I should start saving up in case of any interstate finals

Saving?

NO WAY!!!

Geelong owes us!!!

What would they be without ‘US’ + a few other BF supporters?

 

[Vdubs]

Lot of people owe Rhys Stanley a sincere apology, won us that game.

Our weapon? They don’t hand out the #1 to loafers.

 

[foxdog50]

Even better as the lone Geelong adult (think there was a kid or two) in the area of the bay I was sitting

I had to laugh, just after Mannagh kicked the sealer, a lady behind me trying to keep the positives for Fremantle was saying, "there's still a while to go" - I turned around to tell her that there was 1 minute left

When asked how I knew, I pointed to the benches both holding up 1 signs

I started to breathe slightly easier


Now for ice-cream and to proudly wear the colours back to town

It sounded like there was a fair few Geelong fans there. Would that be correct?

 

[cats_09]

Parts of the ground were slippery from the start. Presumably that wing never got sunlight and so never got dry

The wing beside the benches was in full shadow when I arrived around 1pm

Guessing it gets a bit of sun in the morning, but not as much as the rest of the ground

 

[My Tilly]

Enormous win. Now for the Dees to upset Port.

Feels like Melbourne have booked their overseas trips and won't be too interested in their remaining three matches

 

[foxdog50]

As Alex Lloyd says, we were amazing to win that game

I really hate that song

 

[Pollywaffle]

Could he become our own Clark Keating?

 

[catempire]

Exactly

The pressure was there until the point he hurt himself

He laid a tackle in the play that led to Mannagh’s late goal too. Didn’t give up. People are harsh on him.

 

[foxdog50]

You've finally come to the light!

Iv been rooting for him to play slug... What will you do next season when he hangs up the boots?

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

Could he become our own Clark Keating?

He has looked much better since his mid season break. Taking marks again is big

 

[winty]

Interesting that every team who's won thus far this round was trailing at 3/4 time.

Q4 Is the new Premiership Quarter

 

[Generalissimo]

Could he become our own Clark Keating?

When he does retire, he'd be one bloke who could definitely say he's left everything out there on the footy field. The most we could ask from him at this stage is a bit of a chop out here and there. Then today he gives us this. Mad respect.

 

[cats_09]

It sounded like there was a fair few Geelong fans there. Would that be correct?

On my walk in I didn't see many, but did have one person who pointed to their blue shirt (not a Geelong one - they're on holidays and this fitted in), but once inside i def saw more

I was a couple of bays around from the cheer squad, so there was a good number at that end, and then there also seemed to be a number near our race

From Mannagh's goal to the siren, Geelong fans definitely made themselves known

 

[Heckler]

Footy equivalent to Rope a Dope
Cats burst out of the blocks
Freo went hard and fast early
Slowed down late in Q3
Cats re-gained momentum
Powered home late to win
Perhaps not by design...
Perhaps Scott saw Freo stop

Champions find a way to win

Was holmes trying to break the bouncing record today. Every 5 metres he was bouncing the ball.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Iv been rooting for him to play slug... What will you do next season when he hangs up the boots?

Cry. The thought of Stanley and Tomahawk both gone makes me a sad slug.

Liked what I have seen from Neale lately, and Conway earlier in the year, though - so I'll cheer up quick enough!

 

[Seeds]

We are an outisde flag shot if stanley can remain competitive in the ruck.

 

[Lana]

I think you’re thinking 2023, we haven’t played them this year

I meant the style of play not Fremantle

 

[you pick one]

He laid a tackle in the play that led to Mannagh’s late goal too. Didn’t give up. People are harsh on him.

Bloody good effort to stay out there obviously in some pain and still competed.Will probably miss next week

 

[Glassjaw]

Cracking win. Hugely important.

 

[cats_09]

I know there's often discussion around the attitudes of different fan groups, and have to admit I was disappointed by some of the comments coming from Fremantle fans today

I'm not talking about the bitching around umpiring, claims we were getting favorable treatment due to "VicBias" - like seriously, do they not realise how much we are on the negative equation of umpiring across the season

But this was around injured players - I couldn't tell which Geelong player was being tendered to on the bench by the doctors, but they were openly mocking him, comments like "does he have an ouchie", or "he wants his Barbie bandaid" etc

I know it was around the time Tanner went off with his concussion but not sure if there was another player who has a cut or required medical help


Just thought it was in really poor taste - one thing I do pride the Geelong crowd on, even when an opposition player gets hurt or goes off for treatment etc, there's generally a positive acknowledgment for them when they've had to go off with trainers

I've also never heard someone in the Geelong crowd mock an injured opponent
