Game Day Rd 20 Geelong v North Sat July 27 2024 145 pm @ Tassie

I don’t think I’ve seen a team as bad forward of centre. They have absolutely no idea other than bombing it to Larkey.

They look good when they go with the handball chain

As soon as they look to kick the ball is when things go wrong for them

 

[Generalissimo]

Problem is he's not a standard ruck. If he's not dominating around the ground to make up for his ordinary ruck work he's pretty useless.

Fair, but I also think he's just playing the role Chris Scott has assigned him.

He turns up to the last training session of the week, and Scott goes to him "BTW you're the number 1 ruck this week, k thanks bye"

 

[Vallace96]

Get Rohan up the ground and use his speed, wasted deep forward

 

[Hinkley29]

Blitz is just going these days isn't he.

Would prefer Cameron deep but that can't happen with all of Neale, Rohan and Henry playing at the same time.

Henry or Rohan... just play one please (Ollie launching nicely is a good sight).

Mannagh leading our clearances again... Come on mids lol

Humphries looks so good.

Blitz is not the player he was, but he has competed well against Xerri. He has saved SDK from a physical mauling, that should not be underestimated

 

[catempire]

The number of people here wearing shorts is astounding.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

Amazing that we were third a week ago and we could be out of the eight one week later.

Really hoping we can play smart in this second half and not let this one slip. Every win is going to be so precious in a season like this

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Shouldn't be this close they're 17th.

They're playing Teakle ahead of the ball, that would have to be messing with their spacing

 

[Hinkley29]

Pressure on the ball user has been high, and our backline has set up beautifully.

Yeah, they haven’t used the ball very well, but we have had a lot to do with that.

 

[cats_09]

The number of people here wearing shorts is astounding.

Yeah well, considering they have XXXX at the ground, what else did not expect

 

[Vallace96]

Shouldn't be this close they're 17th.

We’re not that good unfortunately

 

[Pollywaffle]

Can't see Cameron playing to long into his 30's.
As soon as he loses a little bit of athleticism he won't be able to offer much.

On SM-N986B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Interesting point.
Hopefully proves to be wrong …
On the other hand, being a mobile forward who avoids bang and crash may extend his career.

 

[Micksy]

Get Rohan up the ground and use his speed, wasted deep forward

Might double his possessions!
Up to 2!

 

[cats_09]

They may be 17th but they rarely get blown away

I don't think that true at all.

Carlton made this game look hard last week, North also pushed the Dogs to the limit a couple of weeks ago.

Take out the Sydney game and North have been super competitive over the last little bit.

Lost to Carlton by 19
Beat Gold Coast
Lost to Bulldogs by 17
Lost to Melbourne by 3
Lost to Collingwood by 1
Beat West Coast

So since the bye the biggest loss North has had was 3 goals (Except Sydney in Sydney).

Geelong cannot come into this game thinking it's a walk in the park.

 

[Grimoz]

Shouldn't be this close they're 17th.

Well if we were to thump them we could go to 2nd, not looking likely at the moment

 

[Footy Smarts]

He turns up to the last training session of the week, and Scott goes to him "BTW you're the number 1 ruck this week, k thanks bye"

No doubt it's tough on him. But dropping simple marks and fumbling continually shows where he's at. It's remarkable how quickly he's gone from probably our most important player to a borderline liability. He was a bit better against Hawthorn and Collingwood so fingers crossed he can find it again cause we really need the good Blics back.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

We’re not that good unfortunately

We're in the top 4.

 

[supahoops]

For a kid who is in his 5th game how good is Lawson Humphries

Like peak Duncan but off both sides. Whenever he kicks I instinctively look at the next option, count one hand the times he’s coughed it up.

 

[dazbroncos]

Holmes good tackle

GO CAtters

 

[Micksy]

Yeah well, considering they have XXXX at the ground, what else did not expect

Thank god for the swear filter.
I don't want to know what sick filth those Taswegians are in to.

 

[Heckler]

Cats scoring mainly off turnovers
Need alternative avenues to goal

Content in controlling the game
Potentially risky strategy too soon
Need strong Q3 with 4 quick goals
Take the heat out first, then coast.

3 forwards combining well so far
Stengle and Dempsey playing well
Jezza and Miers need involvement

 

[dazbroncos]

Bowes so close

GO Catters

 

[Pollywaffle]

True cats p*ss. But many like it..Go figure.

 

[dazbroncos]

poor I50 again

GO CAttesr
