Game Day Geelong V Richmond at MCG Sun Jul 25 @ 320 pm - Rd 19

[cats_09]

WTF was that last 5 mins

that was just bullshit

Preservation knowing that the game was won and no need to risk an injury

 

[hoopla]

Stanley 25 hitouts

He dominated in the ruck today.

 

[JohnZ]

Game was over. Who cares. Don’t need to be so negative all the time

Not negative, disappointed. There's a difference. Still proud of the club and the win, just think we let teams back in the game too easily. Not good practice for finals.

 

[catscratchfever]

1 loss in our last 11 games

 

[The Casey Cat]

******* lazy bullshit that last qrt, what should have been a 10-12 goal win was 6 goal one.

Absolute rubbish effort the whole second half. They worked miles harder.

 

[JohnZ]

Tom touches someone... free against

Was genuinely blocked off the ball, like he always is. Can't buy a free kick to save himself.

 

[Catsace]

Gnash, would have been nice to really put them to the sword, but their arseiness, and some reaming from the umps on Geelong, they undeservedly scored late goals.

Percentage means nothing in finals, so putting a team away by half time and easing up when the result is confirmed is hardly an issue.

Love seeing Ratugolea being interviewed on Fox and his teammates heckling him all interview

It is an issue if you get used to playing lazy football instead of playing 4 quarters of high intensity. Comes finals time we could be found lacking.

 

[Turbocat]

Got the best tall forward system in the comp, we don't need the best small forwards. However they do provide some good opportunities and link up when required anyway.

Maybe... i prefer forward who kick goals.

To be fair we spanked them there with a crowd this year

How big was the crowd?

 

[Grimoz]

And we did it without our best player Shaun Higgins

Was zero issue in 09 when we did it every week..
The only people who find issue with it is fans who want to see a smashing. Probably the same fans who'd sook if we did keep going hard and cop an injury.

With a win of about 6 goals today, how can you be annoyed? The Tigers still have pride and some excellent players. We have beaten them twice at their ground this year. Feeling a bit like 2011. The last quarter will give CS some more ammo as well for next week. Always ways to improve.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Yes... the best tall forward setup in the comp kicks goals, like I said...

 

[The_Todd07]

How big was the crowd?

55k

 

[calder_daddy]

Aged well didn't even last a quarter.

I not a massive fan, he'll probably go for Cameron but he was good last week and was very good in that quarter. His play enabled 3 goals plus the one he kicked himself

I’m a man who will heckle but admit when I get something wrong.
Something flicked in his head at 1/4 and he was much better, as I stated

 

[dazbroncos]

Great win

Get to the review.

Review - Geelong defeats Ninthmond by 38 points at their home ground... twice.

Great win by us. 4 points a great effort. 4 goals to Sav - quality work in his 50th. Not every stat for touches tells the story. 101 points winning margin in total V Tuggers in 2021. Selwood injury the only negative. Stewy, Guthrie, Tomma, Parfitt, Hendo, Henry in the best. Stanley seemed...
