Preview R21: Changes vs. Geelong Cats

[FullyBigKPro]

I was over in Radelaide this week... Should have gone down to West Lakes and given them some B1gFooty advice

 

[MRB37]

Is this meant to be positive?

Because they're pretty terrible numbers for a small pressure forward, who barely kicks goals and generally has minimal possessions.

This might be more relevant - and it's not inspiring.

So averages .33 more tackles I50 per game than Rachele who constantly gets hit for not being defensive or trying.

Anyone listen to Kelly explain to Rowey how Murphy has kept his spot? Something like this:

“Not about possessions and people watching his game might not understand that. Murphy is comfortable with his role in the team”

So the old non-statistical role that doesn’t involve kicking goals. That’s the excuse we used for Wright up until we dropped him and then delisted him.

This club is ****ed. Can’t stand listening to Kelly, he’s a moron.

...or field kicking, marking and hand balling

Of course he’s comfortable, theres zero pressure to perform you moron.

Makes it sound like Murphy is being altruistic and sacrificing an amazing performance he could be putting in for the good of the team.

I don't know how anyone can stomach listening to people from the club talk.

They are comfortable with being shit.

That, or they're so dumb and oblivious they don't know they're shit.

Not sure what's worse.

Seemingly oblivious to all our finishes that end in “teenth”

Compared to 2023:

Disposals down by nearly 4 per game.
Inside 50s down by 1.33 per game
Clearances down from 2.23 to 0.69 per game
One percenters down from 1.14 to 0.54 per game
Goals down from 0.55 to 0.46 per game
12 pressure acts last week, 7 the game before.

Just criminal that we keep wheeling him out week after week.

It's been that way in many games this season.

... and people still bitch about not playing the kids.

It's not about playing the kids. It's about playing better players.

Taylor over murphy.
Smith is cooked. Try curtin instead.
Laird is a stat padder crab that kicks hospitals. So they wanted someone like dowing to replace him.

But you like nicks have nfi.

Geelong have been in a premiership window and we've been rebuilding for five plus years. They have more players in the 50-90 game range.

But yeah, our failure to consistently invest in our future is totally just made up hysteria on this board. It's not like we'd have more experienced players if, you know, we let them experience more often.

2/3rds of a team under 100 games is crazy young. Quality of our 100 - 149 game players is questionable to further compound this

 

[AFC979810]

"Murphy is comfortable with his role in the team”

No Sh*t.

Its the dream role. Wish my job had zero KPI's.

Can't expect much.

To compete for the 8 we need to be closer to Fremantle to really compete!

Once we make the jump from an average age of 24.4 and 77.5 games played to 24.5 and 80.2 games - watch us SOAR!

 

[whattagun07]

Geelong in Geelong.
I said in the Olympics thread that my own personal hell would be to wake up in the middle of a water polo match, being scragged and punched and wrestled underwater by big blokes, water up my nose, struggling to breath, for all of eternity....
Watching Adelaide play Geelong in Geelong for all eternity would be a close second.
F*** Geelong (the team), and F*** Geelong (the place)

Poor Murph the shooting star even the meme masters are into him now.
Needs sound

Good job!

Was this suppose to have some other meaning?

Maybe we should give our guy the nickname 'Good Behaviour Bond'...

is planning to both Start Dan Curtin as the Sub, and also Sub him out at Half-time.

Shouldn't be possible, but if anyone can manage it, Nicks is the man!

 

[Trigger13]

Anyone else find it confusing when this club talks about how certain players play their ‘role’ for the team when the team is ****en 15th on the ladder??

Great ‘role’ they are playing. Real effective.
