Game Day Grand Final 2022 - Cats v Swans

[Purple Jesus]

How the * did we even beat Geelong at GMBH. Did that actually happen.

I’m going back and watching it now.

 

[theGav56]

He's probably eyeing off a Norm Smith right now.

Smith for the Smith I reckon.

 

[Steinfreo]

Can we not peak in round 12 next year please for **** sake.

 

[nurries]

Commentary team making sure Danger gets the Norm Smith

 

[Reynolds Number]

Well undefeated against the best.

 

[nurries]

Can we not peak in round 12 next year please for * sake.

When we are 3 years on average older like Geelong are, we will

He is leading the field in clearances, center clearances and score involvements

…hopefully Logan is suitably pissed off

Were we the last team to beat Geelong?

Geelong vs Sydney

 

[Lach72]

Dangerfield has been fantastic today…his energy at the contest has been second to none

 

[nurries]

He is leading the field in clearances, center clearances and score involvements

Smith probably leading inside 50 and 3 goals when the game was on the line

We got figured out, mostly beaten by coaching in the second half of the season and without the tools to adapt. Another preseason with the young core will be crucial. Geelong are so experienced, they can adapt the way they play on the fly. That’s where we need to be.

 

[freo1997]

We need to start being more aggressive giving recycled players a go that Geelong has done for years.

They don’t always get it right…but most the time their system is good enough to turn them into jets.

They have only missed the finals once between 07 to 22 from my recollection.

 

[noise36]

Stengel has to be one of the best stories in years, amazing in front of goals, wasn't he delisted or something?

 

[Megalon]

heck and there's still a whole quarter to go. Sydney will kick 2 or 3 in junk time I reckon.

 

[Taylor]

Smith probably leading inside 50 and 3 goals when the game was on the line

He is, by one, from Dangerfield

 

[Taylor]

Port didn't recover from their Geelong belting in the GF

Harder to do for a non-vic team

 

[Joao]

Nah the great man Bruce, but Carey would be great to have here for the 'half time festivities' so I can get around it. Just have to keep the missus within view at all times.

Yeah, but who does he like to say that to most?

Rah rah Dangerfield

 

[Van_Dyke]

papley’s dropped mark on the wing after their first behind set the tone, should have been easily taken but did a bit of a darling

 

[hoss]

Papley sooking.

It’s a leg up to the Cats list management that they are based in a state where a majority of the players actually come from. Then there’s the whole father/son thing.

It’s really hard to compete.

A couple of things I think they do right:

They trade and draft for need. Not exclusively, but still quite deliberately.

They target players to trade for who have regional connections, and play the long game to get them. They have great eyes and ears on players from juniors through their careers in AFL.

They don't over value some positions or roles such as ruck or hbf.

They don't gift games to youth, and certainly no on mass.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Our players should get a lot of belief from this. We beat them convincingly on their home deck. No one else did that.
