Review Cats sink Dockers by 11 points.

[Cataholic]

Great win and all that!
But why did we keep falling over in the last ??

Genuine question.

Are the boots and individual choice, or is it mandated on the day?

 

[r32godzilla]

Bloody gutsy win. So proud of the boys! Could have even won by more if we kicked straight!
Danger was massive in that last quarter!

Clark from Freo can get stuffed. Whinging flog. That showboating after his early goal was cringe. Banfield was a grub too laying the elbow into Guthries head on the ground.

Anyway great win on the road!

 

[Catatak]

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

Yep. 100percent agree. If for some reason we get a home final against an interstate side I hoping we don’t even push for it to be at KP.

I heard mandated, could be wrong

 

[Cataholic]

I heard mandated, could be wrong

That was my belief, though I'm far from certain.

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

Good win and the tenancy to keep creating tho opportunities up forward in the last to get the win

And just a quiet **** you to Jordon I hope that gun celebration makes you cringe on the replay so happy he’s not at the club

I’m fine with the gun (not that our players would do that).
It’s the sooking when he it goes against him in the contest, cost them a game earlier this year and he hasn’t learned?

 

[cats_09]

It may just be me, but I much prefer our JC to Fremantle's

I'm also happier to have H & H running off our half back line

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

Those Sandgropers can be feral at times... they have no issue slagging off injured opposition players.

Footy abuse sparks calls for Patersons crowd controls

Geelong chief executive Brian Cook has called for improved crowd control measures at Patersons Stadium, saying Geelong's interchange and medical staff were the targets of constant abuse during the club's match against West Coast on Friday night.

Yep- I don’t care how invested you are, stuff like that is just not good enough.

Just did the ladder predictor and basically if we win the next two we just need the doggies to beat GWS in Ballarat Rd 24 and we finish 2nd

 

[Art Vandelay_]

So it sounds as though winning today opens up the door for the Hawks making it.
Maybe we should have 'dropped' that one

Or better yet. A loss to the baggers would be just lovely.

I like that Clark's goal celebration was in reference to a guy that came second...

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

Yes sorry, Ollie. Even from the opening, though he did lay a tackle or two, he’s lacking intensity and awareness when he doesn’t have the ball that will prevent him from being among the games best forwards. If he doesn’t sort it out.

You might want to look at the player that pressures Walker and causes the turnover that gives Mannagh the winning goal

Hardie to debut next week?

 

[cats_09]

I went on a tour this morning before the match and the guide pointed out the different plaques that have been placed along different footpaths through the CBD

I came across the following one and made sure I stopped to take a few photos - maybe it was a good omen

 

[devilsnap]

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

The man thought he was playing basketball.

 

[Commando]

I heard mandated, could be wrong

I'd be staggered if we didn't allow our players to select their own boots

 

[cats_09]

The man thought he was playing basketball.

Maybe he swapped shoes with Furphy

 

[catsfootyfan89]

Can't remember the last time I saw so many hospital handpasses wearing blue and white. The pressure was on today. We absolutely stole one, and the kids got to enjoy the fruits of a 4-quarter slog effort. Well done, Cats.

True. But we can also flog WC and pass GWS on %

 

[Generalissimo]

Hardie to debut next week?

With Bruhn out, he'd have to be a chance. I reckon it'll be Rohan, SDK, Hardie in for Mullin, Bruhn, and as-yet-unnamed player to be managed.

 

[Chinacats]

Pressure index was off the charts…… 234 at one stage. That’s what I’m talkin bout! Bring that next two weeks then top 4 is ours!
And yes I said dockers were pretenders last week!

 

[cats_09]

Hardie to debut next week?

I'd think they'd back in Clohesy or Knevitt

Maybe Ted, with SDK coming back too they might be wary of going in too tall.
