Game Day Rd 4, 'The Harley Reid Cup'- Geelong vs Hawthorn, Monday 10 Apr @ 3:20pm MCG

[cats_09]

Evened up from the huge in the back to Close just then..

Kinda happy that was play on as it likely worked out better for us

 

[winty]

How can anyone boo that free kick - textbook front on contact

Especially when your side has had an armchair ride with the umps prior to that.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Ump 3 wasn’t going to pay that

Stephens is a Hawthorn supporter. #12

 

[DangerHere]

Much better last 10 mins

 

[fpm84]

Seemed to get going in the last 10 mins, best ball movement we’ve seen since the first half of R1.

 

[winty]

We're we'd be without Jezza.

Should have won the MVP last year and really should be in front this year too.

Best player in the comp by the length of the Flemington straight.

 

[catters05]

Now just need to put another 20 goals on them….

 

[_Game_]

Good game Cameron Vs Hawks, should be close.

 

[catters05]

Best player in the comp by the length of the Flemington straight.

Too much Curnow love I think.

 

[Pollywaffle]

Playing a terrible team

They don’t look too bad. Just finishing badly..

 

[AlcoaCat]

At least we've managed to shove the gearstick into first. But by jeez, by jingo, by crikey our skills are absolutely horrible. Some of these blokes who were golden last year can't even execute a basic handball.

 

[Generalissimo]

Isn't it funny that when we start going in and getting the ball that we start kicking goals? Possies were 40-11 Hawforn's way at one stage, now it's 91-87 and there's nothing in it at 1/4 time.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

The fumbly mistakes are so unlike these guys. That contested possession stat is a real worry. A ways to go yet, and a better end to the quarter. But this is a ground ball game these days, and if you lose that it's hard to win.

 

[calder_daddy]

I know this isn't exactly out there in terms of opinion, but do the Cats have the best 2 players in the comp?
Stewart and Jezza would be stiff not to be considered the best 2 in the league.

Best forward yes
Best defender yes

2 best players, na

Cameron up there, Stewart not even in top 5

 

[OddYears]

Zuthrie turning into my new fav. Reliable

 

[NakedDeadGuy]

I’m a huge umpire hater at the best of times, when we’re going well. Trying to look beyond that, I think a feature from last year that’s sticking out to me is that in 2022 the team were awesome at scoring from turnovers. So far this year, opposition seem to have no hassles in moving from defence to forward 50. Someone much smarter than me will be able to have input, but does this go back to pressure put on by midfielders and forwards, to create the turnovers?
Anyway, can’t believe it’s only 1 point after being so crap. Thank Christ for Cameron.

 

[Seeds]

If we can just break even in the middle we will win this by 8 plus goals. But can we?

 

[Romeoh1]

Doesn’t have to be pretty - just have to grind out a win. Comon cats

 

[dazbroncos]

Guthrie 2 touches in 1/4 playing MF.

Aint gonna get it done.

GO Catters

 

[Strange Cat]

Good on blitz for having a go at that dog

 

[The_Todd07]

Of course it was intentional BT
No one jumps like that

 

[Strange Cat]

Terrible kick cam

 

[catters05]

Our team know how to tackle?

 

[Seeds]

Not a captain’s a-hole

Only won us the flag last year.

 

[Baggins15]

Guthrie’s ball use has dropped off a cliff this year
