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

[Art Vandelay_]

before Strange Cat wonders where the consistency is. 6 from Bruhn and 7 from Bowes and Dangerfield in a half is not acceptable. 1 touch from Rohan is utterly abysmal.

 

[MisterMarcus]

So far we're winning the battle of "Who can hack kick blindly into the F50 the least"....

 

[Mr Meow]

Mannagh and O.Henry leading our contested possessions is interesting but reflects poorly on our midfielders.

 

[catpremier 07]

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.

[catters05]

A times we were a little bit off just breaking this open

Should break it open in the third, unless go into shells and then Roos punish..

 

[Cataholic]

That’s why the umps providing them the frees.

Yep, they're going in harder and forcing the errors.

 

[catempire]

North very bad. Should put them to the sword.

 

[Hinkley29]

Very solid half of footy.

Good pressure around the ball, back half holding up very well.

Very good value for our lead, apart from 3 mins in the first qtr we have well and truly controlled the game.

 

[Chinacats]

Largely dominant but should’ve finished them off by now . Forwards are not really efficient…..could be Rohan’s retirement game?

You can’t actually be serious?

 

[Hinkley29]

North very bad. Should put them to the sword.

I spent all week hearing that north are in good form, and will smash us around the ball.

Geelong have to take a great deal of credit for the pressure around the ball.

 

[nohairandfair]

Bews played a part in most of the goals… for Norf

 

[Hinkley29]

Neale not much impact up forward, but he was much more physical and competitive in the ruck against Xerri than I expected.

 

[D BRIDGE]

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.

 

[Generalissimo]

Holmes has been pretty good.

Don't see Danger and Jezza both playing badly for another half, and if one or both start getting involved, watch out!

Jack and Oliver Henry have both been solid.

Bruhn is a lot quicker than I remember.

 

[catempire]

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.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Decent half after the first 10 minutes. Smashed around the ball but still well on top in general play. Even up the contest work a bit and we can run away with it.

 

[Generalissimo]

Blitz is just going these days isn't he.

12 hitouts, four touches, four tackles. Pretty standard ruckman numbers ATM.

 

[Turkey Tom]

Lots of skill errors by both sides. We are playing the better, but still North have the better midfield and spread and will hurt us unless we tighten things up.

As mentioned by others, some of our guys just woefully out of form.

 

[Vallace96]

Blitz just isn't the same player, is he?

Nope

 

[Generalissimo]

North run and spread is a worry, but after about the first 15 minutes we got a lot better at pressuring that last kick. Gives Stewart and SDK and Jack Henry

every opportunity to pick it off.

We have too many marking types ahead of the ball, they're crowding each other out

 

[Play it Sam]

What game am I watching?
HTB not paid evidently. Kick 20 metres ball up, wash, repeat all the way up the ground.
Whoever does best at Rugby scrums will win the GF, umpired by the fittest tossers.

 

[Footy Smarts]

12 hitouts, four touches, four tackles. Pretty standard ruckman numbers ATM.

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.

 

[Lana]

Blitz just isn't the same player, is he?

He is doing fine, he is holding down the number 1 ruck role, he is too light for it this late in his career.
