[winty]

Bowes has had 6 tackles, but is the only player on the ground yet to have a possession.

 

[Lana]

Their high zone is causing us heaps of issues

 

[catstorm]

Good qrt, poor finish too it.

 

[Grimoz]

They dominated the last 10 minutes, need to switch back on

 

[hoopla]

Good start. A little unlucky for that umpires call bs.

 

[winty]

Is the ground wet, slippery or something?

We've slipped over a number of times at crucial moments......

Doesn't look it from here

There was a bit of rain yesterday
morning, but it's clear blue skies overhead and surely any excess moisture would have dried out by now

The grass does have a good covering - may just need longer stops because of the thickness

 

[Zouz Kitty]

I blame the review for that!

Still, those who review are umpires

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

No red time goal which is nice.

 

[Baudolino]

Bowes has 0 disposal and 6 tackles. Crazy stats for a quarter of footy.

 

[catstorm]

Anyone else get that weird American ad for Texas on Kayo? That was strange.

 

[supahoops]

Weak call and a Danger brain fade may be the extra cushion we come to rue, cracking start though we’ll take that.

 

[Heckler]

Cats are holding up Freo through the middle
Just need to punish Freo on the rebound

 

[Mattlock]

Still, those who review are umpires

Haha well I should specify that the onfield umpires have been good!

Boundary can **** right off

 

[cats_09]

That Miers kick should have been a goal

I'm sitting nearly in line with the goal line and it clearly crossed the line before the Freo player got close to the ball

 

[Seeds]

The non miers goal was really annoying.

And boy we woukd look good with clarke in the backline. Dumb to let him go. Cost us two goals already today.

 

[Scottland2007]

If you can see the shadow of the hand on the ball, then it’s not touched. You need space to create a shadow. That was a goal to Geelong

I'm taking Holmes & Humphries every day of the week over David Clarke

 

[Seeds]

Our pressure looks on today. But do we have tge pace to go with the, when they burst through the middle?

 

[hoopla]

It’d be great if danger had proper shots on goal instead of trying to run around or pass the ball. He still has the distance to kick 50+ metres.

 

[Cataholic]

Dockers getting on top around the ground

Yeah, they were the better team in the last half of that quarter.

QT has come at the right moment. Boys need to re-group

 

[cats_09]

#wabias

The Freo fans around me believe that the umpires today are showing #VICBIAS

 

[Mattlock]

Need to kick a few ones early in the second and get right back on top.

We had so much space in the outer pocket - needed someone to lead into it and Dangerfield to honour the lead
