Game Day RD 16 Geelong v Essendon Sat Jun 29 730pm @ MCG

[Generalissimo]

On tv he’s doing a lot of unrewarded running on the dead side of the ground

Like a blonde Mark O'Connor.

 

[BigCat1]

Dangerfield, Tuohy, Guthrie and Dempsey playing well tonight!

Poor Kolo having a shocker haha

Touhy playing loose in defence and looks as shakey as an old gate in a hurricane. He should be cleaning up as he doesn’t have an opponent

The other three have been outstanding

 

[OddYears]

Multiple times we haven’t even nominated for the ruck coz sdk is gassed.

 

[calder_daddy]

Incredibly poor half. We have are so lucky to be in it. 3/4 of the team are well below their best. 15 of them have had it less than 10 times.

I love Scotty. Love him but this isn’t working.

Henry isn’t a key tall. SDK isn’t a ruck. Stewy isn’t an onballer.

Danger fwd is the only winning move we have.

You had me until the last sentence
Danger has only ever played 2 good games in the forward line
Against the hawks when injured and in his prime
Final against the swans when he started there
Apart from that I actually think he’s a average forward

IMHO of course

 

[numbwombat]

Is Lawson Humphries eligible for the Rising Star? Because he'd be in with a shot for the nomination this week.

And Dempsey in with a shot at taking it home on tonight’s effort

 

[MITSUHIRATO]

Trade SDK to Carlton while we can. Dude looks lost these days.

Deal! Swap for our first pick, Pittonet and some signed Sam Wash memorabilia.

 

[numbwombat]

Club needs to give an injury update on Conway this week.

 

[BigCat1]

800k per annum you say

It’s why you don’t pay small fwds 800k. I

 

[Lana]

We need not make the youth the scapegoats when things don't go to plan

Next week against Hawthorn may be a good test for a few of our younger players - hope they're given a shot to see what they can do

Somebody has to do a lot of unrewarded running, elite running patterns and all that

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Dempsey huge.
Humphries already shown has he can be weekly best 23.
Danger causing most of our midfield opportunities.

The panicked kicking and permitting transition through the corridor is costing us.

WAY bigger + better than ^^^

 

[Larry Donohue]

Love Humphries
Play him every week

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Actually thought when the ball has gone near him he’s been ok without saying he’s been great or bad.
On tv he’s doing a lot of unrewarded running on the dead side of the ground

It's hard to tell on TV really but it looks like we're spreading our numbers across the wings but on rebound we're defaulting to corridor under pressure where their numbers are. Looks like Knevitt is just always on the wrong wing

 

[Finknottle]

SamDK struggling a bit in the ruck but good around the ground. Certainly worth persisting with that experiment. Humphries looks great on debut.

 

[Generalissimo]

And Dempsey in with a shot at taking it home on tonight’s effort

Oh yeah! I'd forgotten he's in the running. The way he's played this season it feels like he's been in the team for years.

 

[Klink]

We have been poor, but the scores are basically level, what does this say about Essendon?

Lets win this - Cameron looms large in the second half

 

[strauchnyy]

Just 4 disposals at half time for Knevitt. Been very disappointing.

This board overrates him significantly

 

[catters05]

Stengle staying now?

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Ess have got 2-3 gift goals 30 metres out , slack play by the Cats

As others have said Geel quite fortunate to be still in the game

But the game is still very winnable

 

[Generalissimo]

The bobbleheads on Kayo reckon Tyson Stengle

has likely decided to stay at Geelong.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

800k per annum you say

How's he going to get the ball when it's 70% time in our defense?

 

[winty]

David Zita reporting at half time on Foxtel/Kayo that Stengle is reported as wanting to stay at the Cattery.

 

[Heckler]

Neale is working hard to impact the contest
Created two goals and kicked one himself

Humphries has shown he can handle AFL pace
Good skills and good decision maker.

Knevitt has drifted in and out of play
Should have nailed the easy shot goal
Awful set shot goal kicking technique
Moving ball about : running wide : hook kick

Ollie Dempsey is a delight to watch

 

[BigCat1]

You had me until the last sentence
Danger has only ever played 2 good games in the forward line
Against the hawks when injured and in his prime
Final against the swans when he started there
Apart from that I actually think he’s a average forward

IMHO of course

That may be so but he is literally the only winner we have up there at the minute so that move you’d have to say is working

Halving contests and winning most when outnumbered. They murdered us down the line. We have a loose and 4 of our other fwds are invisible. That’s why the ball is living at their end

 

[Bunnings]

Shhhh we don’t want to drop his value, we need another 1st rounder

Halftime on Fox suggesting he is staying, I like him, just not at that price

 

[Cataholic]

Multiple times we haven’t even nominated for the ruck coz sdk is gassed.

Isn't that the reason we didn't play Conway??
