Review Rd 21 Cats stone Crows by 5 points

[dazbroncos]

Papering over cracks.

WE got the 4 points and move to 2nd on the ladder.

We won the game but geez we got issues.

Jezza got 6. Good day out.
Humphries will be the 17 on the backs on jumpers for many years to come.

Stewy was good. Zuthrie getting better as Stewy V2 as well.

Stengle, Close, Neale, Dempsey, Stanley, all good too. Mannagh was well. Cant go out of the team this year.

SDK knee is a very very critical piece and could be an ACL as worst case - hope not.

PFD was quiet. Bruhn too but in second 1/2 ended up with 23 touches.

Bews and 2E will have strong oppositon to keeping them in again.

Blitz can't kick on his right for distance any more... something up there.

OH flies for everything but spoils others as well.

Holmes needs to find a harder edge - Kolo was ok too.

Take the win and move on but against better opposition we're in Barney

COS or Jeka if we need a #1 KPD next week

GO Catters

Making up the numbers on this showing but where there’s life there’s hope. Humphries could be a smoky for rising star.

 

[BotsMaster]

2nd place!

 

[BORIS332]

The good news is we're temporarily sitting 2nd. The bad news is our percentage is the 2nd lowest amongst the current top 8.

 

[STPer18]

Moment met man.

 

[Grimoz]

Said it in the last thread but ill say it again, almost Bruhns best game for the club i reckon, he was a beast.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Meh. Sums up today.
Meh performance from a meh team.

Finding each week that there are more and more in this team becoming hard to warm to.

SDK if he's done an ACL will be saddening stuff.

 

[frggr]

No ice on SDKs knee means it's either reaply rooted or it's fine.

Great game from the young blokes - Mannagh, Humphries, Guthrie, Bruhn, Neale and Dempsey.

Miers was contained.

Stewart a stalwart and Dangerfield had flashes of brilliance.


Hopefully we've just had a "heavy training load" and we'll be accelerating from here

 

[kickazz]

Hmmmm. Yes room for improvement.

But never mind ladder positions, I thought the crows came to play tonight and played well. Went into our shells a bit when they were coming back but had a strong last quarter.

I think that is a better win than it looks like.

He didn't seem too upset post game but also no ice on the knee.

 

[patience]

When Lawson ran in and took that mark and then kicked that goal, it felt like he was saying f**k this for a joke time to do something.

 

[Romeoh1]

Go cats-we aren’t winning any flags this year but a win is a win! Liked how we fought it out. Comon the kids.

 

[DrakeOMalfoy]

Lawson Humphries gets a big tick

 

[Catman]

Can someone create a gif for me of Riley Thilthorpe with his hands to his ears?

Hobo looking flog that he is.

 

[StonedCat]

WEKILLTDEMFARKING !!!

 

[Strange Cat]

If there was ever a year to pinch it it’s this one …the poor % won’t matter too much when the finals start but geez the defense worries me big time

 

[Grimoz]

Really hoped someone ran by Rachelle and showed him the money, what a flog of a celebration for an average player.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

My mate Stevie said it was the best win he's seen

 

[catempire]

One of the worst Geelong wins I’ve witnessed.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

We just don't have the talent or know-how to challenge the best sides this year. Still, positives would be the performances of some of the younger/newer players and giving them some finals exposure would be nice though it's likely on the losing end.

Hopefully SDK is okay. If that's an ACL, it's a worse consequence than a lost game for the football club.

The defence has been improved recently, but the ease with which they scored tonight was a big concern, and now with SDK likely missing it's an even bigger worry.

 

[Sttew]

Cats have 9 lives. We used one tonight.

Crows have under achieved this year IMO, and they came to Geelong knowing exactly what needed to be done to beat the Cats.

Here you go.

Loved how he was in the defensive goal square watching Humphries' goal sail over his head too.

 

[Chinacats]

Boy oh boy I’m awake now….! Jez banging 6 well done son!

A team in rebuild, albeit clearly different to most, but definitely replenishing and we are sitting currently in second - tough to please. Are we gonna win the GF? Probably not, but you surely can’t be unhappy with this season - if so, I feel your expectations are coming from a rather spoilt delusional perspective.
