Game Day Round 1, 2024: Geelong v St.Kilda *COLLARD, WILSON DEBUT*

[PoppedCorn]

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

Burnt Collard and shanks the kick ffs

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Got called away for the last hour there...is the score reflective of us playing better, or Geelong playing worse?

I would hardly say anyone could be described as playing well in this match

 

[tomjoad]

Owens

 

[bergholt]

Both sides out on their feet but the Cats are 100 years old so surely we have more run left than them

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Definitely not Michito Sans best game

 

[bergholt]

Max Holmes is a very good player, he's the prototype for Wilson I reckon

 

[my name was taken]

In my mind this game has shifted from us being outclassed into one that potentially got away. Sloppy execution on real chances.

Hopefully we string it all together in the fourth

 

[tomjoad]

I would hardly say anyone could be described as playing well in this match

Yeah, not the best spectacle.

 

[Kilroy]

Some composure would be nice.

The quick ball movement is no good if we keep turning it over.

Would settle for finesse

 

[George]

It's.so shit

 

[saintbill]

Nothing more predictable than Owens spraying that. Hope he makes it as a midfielder because his disposal is dead set set awful.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

We can win this ... Cats are flagging

 

[bergholt]

We can definitely win this, dig deep and use our better stamina and we should win it fairly easily

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

Don't think I've seen so many out on the full and smothered kicks in a game before. So so ugly

 

[bergholt]

Nothing more predictable than Owens spraying that. Hope he makes it as a midfielder because his disposal is dead set set awful.

I reckon his disposal is usually ok but his set shots are generally poor

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Goal kicking and clean handling of the football holding us back.

Feel like we’ll need to get some easy ones to win as any 50-50 chance for goal were butchering.

 

[Sully111]

Owens isn't a forward

He's a mid

All day, every day

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Nothing more predictable than Owens spraying that. Hope he makes it as a midfielder because his disposal is dead set set awful.

He's worse than Higgins at set shots and that's saying a lot.

Our best kick for goal is playing in defense at the moment.

 

[Otiman]

Both teams playing like bottom 4 teams, whoever switches on this qtr will win it.

Still doesn't bode well for the season.

 

[Saintbloke]

I reckon we're a pretty unbalanced team- a few players not in their natural positions. Lyon needs to take a few risks. Never seen us fumble so much. Not sure how we win a game with no midfield.

 

[TheJackal]

Owens, King and Higgins missed set shots they should've kicked. Wood and Members harder shots. Cats have kept us in it with their goalkicking though.

Doesn't feel like we can get on top at this stage, unless our fitness finally shines through and the geriatrics tire

 

[CaptainRisky]

Yes even if we win, we are in the bottom half of performances this round (plus round 0)

If you compare this game to the swans against the pies we are miles off it atm,

 

[Otiman]

Owens isn't a forward

He's a mid

All day, every day

Think everyone's been calling it, Owens and Pou need to switch.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Crouch 58% game time well and truly being managed.
