Game Day Rd 8 Melbourne v Geelong Sat May 4th 730pm @ MCG

[cats_09]

Anyone at the ground, what is the wind like?

Non existent

I'm sitting ground level, the bay beside the players race and there's nothing wrong with the conditions

 

[Micksy]

Not one for the archives.

 

[Generalissimo]

Comedy of errors.

Lol-very ordinary game of footy. We are a bit off tonight so, unless we pick up, we will just have to scrap it out and get the win. Comon cats.

 

[Baudolino]

Both teams celebrating Star Wars Day by shooting at goal like they were storm troopers.

This post is unironically the highlight of the match so far.

 

[Strange Cat]

Hopefully they can switch on in the second half but it’s a shocking standard of footy to be watching

 

[giggler99]

Well that was the most disgusting quarter of football i’ve ever watched!

15,000th post!

Lever and May 3rd and 4th most disposals on the ground, says a lot really!!!

 

[The_Todd07]

Question is more wo can melbourne maintain that intensity for the next half.

Their game opened up last week which would be good for us. We should be able to hurt them more than Richmond could

 

[ShaunWDT]

Would bring Rohan on early, forward line giving us nothing and need some run

Want to hope Bruhn is alright

Saints v North was a better spectacle than this...

 

[Strange Cat]

The only postitive I can take is that despite how utterly shit we are playing Melbourne haven’t capitalised on that half

 

[Cataholic]

Goodwin has reduced this game to unwatchable dragging us a long way down to their level. Imagine watching this every week

Our kicking isn't Goodwin's fault.

We're playing really poor tonight.

Hawkins has one job. He missed.

Stengle muffed several kicks.

Cameron butchered another.

Etc.

We didn't look 'on' from the opening bounce, and Melbourne brought some pressure.

 

[winty]

After 15 frees in the first quarter, there were only 3 in that quarter.

 

[Cataholic]

The only postitive I can take is that despite how utterly s**t we are playing Melbourne haven’t capitalised on that half

That's the only consolation atm.

Saints v North was a better spectacle than this...

It really was, Roos tried hard

 

[STPer18]

Rossy Lyon eat your heart out.

 

[Baudolino]

Weird to think that we played in one of the most watchable, entertaining, high standard games of the season last week.

 

[Mr Meow]

We need a lot more from our classy distributors Miers and Duncan. Cameron after his busy start has gone quiet. And our defenders have been scrambled and disorganised a few times, which you can't afford when Melbourne are forcing us into such a dour game. Every goal is crucial.

Lots to improve on. This is Melbourne101, we need to find solutions.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Probably the worst game of footy I've had the displeasure of watching since round 1 2011.
Positives are of course we haven't played our way at all yet only 5 points down.
Start playing some proper cats footy, defend better, transition and fold back better and start using it better inside 50 (which is right now a very low bar to set) and we should be able to take control.
Continue with this current way we are playing and we'll get done, comfortably.

 

[Cataholic]

Nothing is a bit of a stretch

A turn of phrase.

He's a forward, who are primarily designated to kick goals, which he hasn't done for, what, 4 weeks so far?

Sure, the stat nerds will bang on about score assists etc, but his role is to kick goals, not fluff the pillow.

 

[patience]

Comedy of errors.

But without the humour.

 

[Pollywaffle]

Let’s see how master coach Scott deals with this game…interesting
