Review Geelong + Chris Scott make another Prelim at Ports expense

[CatToTheFuture]

Inside mid for sure, once danger retires/moves more to the forward line.

Will need a few more kegs

 

[Max Rooke]

He wasn't terrible, but as cats_09 pointed out, there's a huge difference between being 'training track fit' and being 'match hardened'.

He'd blow up if we tried to run him through a final imo.

Especially if we’re going to keep a pressure rating 200+ against Brissy or GWS.

 

[BIGANT]

Whilst we are gettable from the remaining sides left in the finals, CS and the MC have shown that with intricate oppo planning the cat's will be well rehearsed in whoever we come up against at the G in a fortnight.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

The rejects:

Evans, Ratugolea and Narkle.

194% combined game time.

10 kicks, 6 handballs, 5 marks, 0 goals, 323m gained.

Holmes:

76% game time

17 kicks, 11 handballs, 8 marks, 0 goals, 668m gained.

Humphries:

80% game time.

13 kicks, 7 handballs, 4 marks, 0 goals, 486m gained.

Mannagh:

91% game time.

18 kicks, 5 handballs, 3 marks, 3 goals, 528m gained.

So what we have is the player we drafted with a selection in the Ratugolea trade (Humphries), a player who was just drafted and playing the same role as what we tried Evans in (Mannagh) and Holmes whose emergence in 21/22 seasons left no spot in the side for Narkle and saw him leave.

Definition of chalk and cheese between those 3 and our 3.

He does, and probably improve his endurance. Not that he's bad at covering ground but at AFL level with the physical hits and contact he'll get, it tires you out a lot quicker than at VFL level.
Another pre-season and I'd expect him to play plenty of AFL next season.

Get him to spend the summer with Dangerfield and learning all he can from him

I'm expecting this will get deleted at some stage

 

[InnocentBystandr]

Finally was able to watch the match in full. Amazing effort from everyone, tackling pressure, backing each other up, and keeping the ball moving forward. Excellent.

My only concern from watching the match was our set shots. A stronger opposition would not allow the opportunities we had and so we will need to make every one count.

Do that, and we can win this!

First quarter in AFLW, Geelong players have already dropped several routine marks. Nina Morrison is as slow as a wet week. What happened to her? She used to be able to run.

We have an AFLW thread if you want to chat in that

AFLW - 2024 AFLW season - Geelong & the greater league...

Did Lady Lingy only get back in the country a week ago or something? She's looked sloppy and way off pace so far this season

Our next game is at the MCG as is the grand final….. how are we not favourites?

Swannies 3.30, Catters 4.30 today.

We are too old to be favourites. Did I get that right?

I wonder what the odds would have looked like if GWS had held on?

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Tuohy is the perfect sub player, because he can play in all three areas of the ground.

The only other change they might swing (apart from Stewart for Mullin) would be SdK in, most likely for Bews.

Wouldn't put SDK in the backline, he's played poor and wouldn't risk throwing out the balance we got now.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Premiership hasnt been won yet , but you can only commentate on the finals game played so far

But after watching the full replay , that is one of the best exhibitions of precision kicking at top speed and precision one grab o/head marking and also play on at all costs outstanding link up play that ive seen

That was Geelong alah 1960s champagne type football but without the drop kicks and stab passes and just a pleasure to watch

The opposition was very very poor , but Geel cant play any better than that , and i think neutrals would have enjoyed watching it because the skills were so good and it was so entertaining/exciting to watch

In Stewart

Out , One very unlucky player , because no Geel player deserves to lose their spot after that performance

Mullin knee might make selection easy.

[Strange Cat]

?

He hyperextended his knee so he might be out for a bit

You would think he would be the logical out for Stewart

 

[Cataholic]

?

If his knee keeps him out it'll make it easier to bring Stewart in.

Ok, saw him come off but it didn’t appear there was much concern with it.

There's some uncertainty because very little has been said by the club so far.

That means he is either perfectly fine, comatose, or deceased.

2 weeks Ottens style

Only changes for the prelim should be Stewart in out Bews/Mullin

SDK didn't impress enough to boot anyone and as good as Knevitt was the MC wont have the trust to bring him in but he will be an emg

I'm excited for Mitch, has a great building block for 2025 now. Hopefully does his confidence a world of good.

Agree with your emergency idea, think it would be good for him to experience the week and the buildup of the prelim, and potentially the GF.

Bit like a certain C Guthrie did once upon a time.
