Game Day Round 1: GWS vs Geelong, 7:40pm at Giants Stadium

[frggr]

And a contract extension mid year.

Joel's gonna hand over the captaincy to him

 

[cats_09]

You look at the stats and we actually arent doing bad, infact we should probably be a lot closer. We just are getting smashed were it counts: Inside 50 efficiency. Tale of Chris Scotts tenure as coach right there.

Pretty much a reverse of how our first 11 games last season - where we got on top of other teams was our inside 50 efficiency

 

[Baudolino]

The regression in the AFL website is bizarre. They've actively made their website worse. One of the most pointlessly self-defeating re-designs ever.

 

[Gogeelong]

Fort kicks 6 Hanballs 0 Tap outs 18
Jacobs 8 5 22

 

[rocker_oz33]

Blitz in the ruck ..umm

 

[foodles05]

I knew I wasn't seeing things. We are winning every key statistic there is apart from efficiency inside 50. We have played well so far and lacked a little bit of polish. Not too unhappy so far.

 

[ToreadorMarch]

As much as people like to look for complicated explanations for everything, I really think all that matters here is that we're just not skilful enough. Game plan makes a difference too of course but skill level is the main discrepancy between the sides.

Actually think intensity is the difference here. The level isn’t that much different but GWS have been intense across the board and we have been carrying players and had players drift in and out.

 

[Micksy]

We've looked good in patches.

Typically when we've been aggressive but I guess we don't want that...for...reasons?

 

[dazbroncos]

25 inside 50 and 13.2 from it for GWS

HArd to win against that.

Need more from Miers, Stewart, Narkle, Atkins. the Guthrie family, 2E et al.

Fort, PFD, Sel, been good.

GO Catters

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Not to mention if a ban is enacted on domestic travel the interstate teams implode.
Waste of energy AFL, but thanks for trying.

Nah they'll be able to work around that I think. But there's no hiding from a liquidity crisis

 

[SkittleCats]

Do we have defenders? Like at all? **** Blicavs is shit.

 

[Purrfect pussy]

Scott: oh no we are losing, I’ll make some changes... I’ll put Blicavs in the ruck

 

[Cataholic]

Our defenders were all spectators then

 

[The_Todd07]

And that will be the ball game

 

[frggr]

Good question Richo. How does Jeremy Cameron get a run at the ball like that?
*looks at his direct opponent, bathwater dribbling down the side of this mouth*

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Scott: oh no we are losing, I’ll make some changes... I’ll put Blicavs in the ruck

Half way thru the quarter he'll pull out his other master stroke, Danger will go forward.

 

[dazbroncos]

Blitz into the ruck and Cameron gets an untouched mark.

There you go.

GO Catters

 

[Cataholic]

Scott: oh no we are losing, I’ll make some changes... I’ll put Blicavs in the ruck

And stick with the same game plan and team next week

 

[mcwilrob]

Great defensive effort there Cats -absolute sh!te Game over you pea-hearted players

 

[geelong_crazy26]

6-10 this year. Written all over us. Skills are well below GWS.

Will win some games but we wont go very far.

 

[calder_daddy]

Blicavs starts in the ruck and has to bust his arse to go match up on Cameron at FB, another absolute BS move in the coaches box

 

[HaroLad]

I don’t normally complain about umpires.

but what is this

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Scott: oh no we are losing, I’ll make some changes... I’ll put Blicavs in the ruck

Reckon Fort is gassed. That'll be why.

 

[frggr]

I'm disappointed that I renewed my membership this week, actually.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

How does Cameron get a free run at it? Oh yeah, blitz is rucking again
