Rd 2: Geelong Cats v Hawthorn Hawks

[Donakebab]

Clarkson is killing Hodge and co by making them go up against proper ruckman. They are using a tonne of energy just trying to compete and it will wear them out well before the game is over. Not only that but it leaves their direct opponents free around the stoppages to swoop on the ball uncontested. When they run out of legs, Geelong will run over the top.

 

[The Joker]

Umpires having a big influence on the match with some big calls and some even bigger non-calls. Keeping the game very close.

Steve Johnson was hurt so he was just standing there rubbing his nose and Mitchell went up and bumped him off ball. Wasnt malicious but was so weak for a man who was just standing there.

He handballed it to Enright and then was moving like he was going to sheppard for him so Mitchell hit him, and fair enough - get off the ground if you are hurt.

Is that bird droppings on Mooney's head or is he getting a patch of grey hair?

 

[Off The Couch]

McBurney is a disgrace


Would love to get Mathew Lloyd down to the club to spend some time with Franklin. Has he worked out

Just lead to the ball Buddy instead of thinking you can just reach over the top and mark it. His first game back hasn't been great, thank god for roughie.

franklin, brown - time to go fellas. havent done much today. win it in the last.

no red time goals to geelong boys

 

[Call Me Cake]

3/4 quarter thoughts.

Renouf tires, Geelong started to win some clean ball around the middle.

What the hell are you talking about? Geelong was dominating general play in the 2nd qtr, the only difference was Geelong's accuracy in the 3rd, which had improved. Still needs more improvement though.

It's all down to whether Geelong can kick it's goals or not, the middle isn't a problem as of yet.

Geelong must make the most of their inside 50's, been outmarking Hawks in the 50 throughout the 2nd and 3rd qtrs.

Soon he's gonna get away from Geelong and go to the Gold Coast

[Spook]

isnt brown injured?
he's touched the ball once i think

It was a dog act mate, Johnson was away with the fairies beforehand. I bet you were furious after Lloyd's act last year too. You're sense of sportsmanship is as good as you're team.

You're right when you say it's not netball... clearly sniping concussed players is what attracts everyone to the game...

Ease up tiger, obviously he himself thought he was ok because he had waved away the trainers so i say he is fair game.
Maybe he can go play softball if he doesn't like contact sports.

Otto! Boy is he coming into the game.

 

[LifeSpan-Void]

Gotta keep Ottens injury-free, he's a frigging weapon when he's up

 

[nylexbandit]

Geez from the sounds of Hawthorn supporters they would be ahead by 15 goals if not for that 17 to 13 free kick count. Sounds like McBurney is the only one giving Geelong frees as well. Are the other umpires biased against Geelong?

i havn't seen him do that much. decent goal and a handful of taps

 

[Call Me Cake]

Geelong leading. Finally making the most of their superior marks inside 50 numbers.

Awesome.

im very neautral when i say this because i like watching both teams. but the umps must be blinded by the light shining of abletts light bulb head because they havn't seen him get caught holding like 4 or 5 times in this match

Have you only just tuned in??? He has done heaps!!

 

[Call Me Cake]

Spoke too soon.

Geelong being more accurate still stands, not missing as much. This time it's one behind every 3 goals, instead of the other way around.

 

[Copernicus]

Mc Burney is bloody whistle happy recently.

 

[Gunbarrel Jack]

couple of costly misses could haunt us. gotta get the goals boys. come on hawks

 

[bomberZ]

bartell to kick a point on the siren to win it for geelong.
id put my house on it
