[frggr]

Can someone tell me why Cooper hasn’t been given a go? No good? Injured?

Ankle injury - may go on the long term injury list

 

[JohnZ]

Still not sure why Zuthrie isn't the medical sub. Need clarks run even if he is a bit selfish.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

clarke would have gt more of the ball than Holmes

No shit.
One is a rookie whose played less than 5 games, the other has been in the system for a few years.
Indictment on Clark if he couldn't...

 

[Play it Sam]

How is your wrist today? Not your drinking arm, I

My typing/dressing/eating hand. Pains me to comment here.
So naked, starving, wine with straw.

Holmes has been fine. Clark would have done more than about half a dozen others though

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Just kick straight. Should be at least 8 goals up.

Of course but this game plan is tripe. We haven't got the foot skills to utilise it. Most of our back 6 are terrible users of the ball.

 

[Grimoz]

We would want to kick the 1st goal because we look cooked, Pies look dangerous going forward, Hawkins looks like he is struggling a bit

Why does Zuthrie get games ahead of Constable?

Different types of players, so it's not like they're competing for the same spot

Thought Constable may have come in with C. Guth out but with the way Parfitt & Narkle have stood up it marks it even harder for him to break into the side, because there's not going to be too many spots for a pure inside mid who doesn't really spread well from the contest

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Not all stuck in LD, you could be like me, stuck at work in the middle of WA.

I'll swap ya?

Na but when you have lived like I have you’d understand why I hate being not able to leave the house

 

[dangerwood]

heck Zuthrie

 

[Spazz Cat]

F**k. Will have to put up with people saying Higgins was good again cause he's got a bunch of the ball.

 

[terry_bright]

Pies got us playing the way they wanted that quarter.
Dragged us down to their level and and hope to be on the right side of a 5 goal vs 4 goal final score

 

[Nankervis brothers]

Narkle is being wasted in a defensive minded system. He has all the tools to rip the game apart, but is hesitant.

Our system isn't made for instinctive players.

Oh well, perhaps he can go to the dogs next season.

 

[Sttew]

Where was Jezza in the last half of that quarter?

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Went to sleep in Q3

 

[cats_09]

clarke would have gt more of the ball than Holmes

Not sure sure - David hasn't played for Geelong for well over a decade, so not sure what sort of match condition he'd be in at the moment

 

[ToreadorMarch]

Why does Zuthrie get games ahead of Constable?

One has no ability and does what the coaches tell him to do (but at a sh*t level) and the other seems to have footy nous but a dodgy engine and the legs speed of a turtle

 

[My Tilly]

Cats to boot 8 goals this final quarter?

 

[year of the cat]

**** Zuthrie

Just terrible.

 

[JohnZ]

Collingwood on track to not lose too badly, which seems to be Buckley's aim this season.

Park the bus against us at your own peril. We can effectively park the bus without sacrificing our offensive game.

 

[Grimoz]

Pies have some nice young talent, Bianco has looked good and Quaynor is a gun, also think that Darcy Cameron is decent, a really good mark.

 

[James1970]

Grundy subbed out of the game.

 

[Sky]

Billie Smedts was better than Zach Guthrie

 

[Sttew]

Cant see Cats going goalless 2 quarters in a row.
Cats by 27
