Game Day RD 21 Geelong V GWS - GMHBA, Fri 6 August @ 7:50pm

[dazbroncos]

our defenders have 1/2 our goals.

not great.

Go Catters

 

[Down at K Park]

19 down in contested possessions. That’s an absolute smashing. Embarrassingly so.

 

[Cataholic]

Every time he's not picked, the main line I read about him is how he provides run, that he'll help make us a quicker side etc

Except for his first season, I don't recall too many times of him in the seniors, providing run with the ball. And quickness by feet doesn't equate to a quicker side or quicker ball movement

Wasn't he criticised early days for running on too much and not being defensive enough?

 

[mcwilrob]

Henry forward because we have zero marking ability down there

Yep

 

[Mad_Hatter]

3rd defender of the night to kick one of our 4 goals...Forward line working well.

In fairness 4 of our 5 best goal kickers are injured.

Except for his first season, I don't recall too many times of him in the seniors, providing run with the ball. And quickness by feet doesn't equate to a quicker side or quicker ball movement

But the team plan and structure makes it pointless. No point running if no one else moves and makes position

 

[mcwilrob]

Two weeks where Tomma has been effectively blanketed

 

[Grimoz]

****ing hell Clark

 

[mcwilrob]

Turnovers - my god!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

We need to be belted hard here. 80+. We need a huge wake up call.

MC wake up call.
4-5 who are out would be playing if this were a final. Instead we are playing guys not ready or up to it. Play with fire and you get burned.

Critical mass of spudness reached tonight.

Narkle, Kreuger, Clark, Guthrie, Holmes, Sav making decisions quite easy.

 

[dazbroncos]

Stnaley having his bottom of the barrel night too

GO Catters

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

It’s like men against boys, and we look like the boys out there.

 

[And_ROOS]

You think Scott will learn from this and target a ruck for next season?

 

[Vdubs]

WAY too many times...

This is totally a finals like capitulation on show here, and why my faith in this team in finals is low, we’ve seen it to many times before.

There is nothing about this game that is finals-worthy. One team is nearly entrenched in top 6 and has lost 2 of the last 12 counting tonight, and the other is desperate to keep their finals hopes alive.

 

[Micksy]

Nooooo!
Dahlhouse injured!
Pack it in!

 

[cats_09]

Wasn't he criticised early days for running on too much and not being defensive enough?

Early days he was playing as a defender, but didn't take too long and he moved to the wing

He looked promising on the wing in his first season but not sure he's with the same since his elbow injury late in season 1

 

[Mad_Hatter]

You think Scott will learn from this and target a ruck for next season?

You mean Wells? Scott isn't head of recruiting..

 

[mcwilrob]

Another unforced turnover - FFS!!!

 

[Grimoz]

Missing Hendo so much

 

[LifeSpan-Void]

yes we are just playing crap. We wouldn’t have made a gf if we couldn’t cope with pressure. Common sense

Nope. We made a grand final because our opponents didn’t bring the intensity until Richmond rolled us as usual. Open your other eye once in a while.

tonight?

 

[Munich]

Dahlhaus is as soft as warm butter

 

[Baudolino]

Why is it that when we lose it's never "just" a loss, it's always an absolute shambles where seemingly everything goes wrong and we incur a bunch of injuries and/or suspensions as well?

 

[Kyuss]

Rohan is done. Can barely move
