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

[StonedCat]

At least 3 gifted goals to GWS, **** off umpires, #corruptAFL

Reckon we’ve been good, just need to be cleaner and stop giving away stu free kicks inside 50m

 

[PatrickBateman]

Jenkins MUST come in.
Drop the Guthries
Bring in Constable and Parfitt
Not that hard Geelong

Ol' man Guthrie has pics incriminating Chris Scott for something, I see no other explanation.

Chris Scott is simply clueless, he likes to prioritise the softest players on his list. Parsons will get a run (failed run number 8 or 9?) before Constable does.

Agree re Jenkins. Sav needs to make an impact in the second half, he's only cost the team tonight.

 

[Sttew]

Reckon we've been the best team. Playing a good brand of footy too.
Gaz looks a class above everyone

How many set shots did we miss? 6 or 7?

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

We have to remember this is only round 1, so skill errors are common this time of year.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

So far much better form than pre-season. I tipped the Suns..seriously.

Been said and proven a million times that preseason form is nothing to read into.

 

[yeah_nah_yeah]

Incorrect disposal by green. Umpire was right there.

 

[Spazz Cat]

We're not winning because of Sav. Can't kick simple goals or hold simple marks.

He can usually mark well. So can put that down to a bad performance.
But absolutely can't kick. A lot of easy shots at goal will go begging

 

[Xcat]

We have gifted them 4 goals

 

[STPer18]

Wingman with the one handball to halftime. Interested to hear how the sycophants defend this one. After last year's finals blunders, MC doubling down on their stupidity. Waste of a list spot, now wasting valuable games. Utter joke.

At least 3 gifted goals to GWS, fu** off umpires, #corruptAFL

I'd actually like to be this one-eyed. Please teach me?

 

[romeohwho]

Pretty even contest -bit unlucky not to be closer. See if we can keep it up. Comon Geelong.

I love how people have forgotten how well Sav has played for us in the past including in a final last year being sensational with his marking. Kid was been very exciting for his age and is just having a bad game. The overreaction is hilarious!

Leaps well usually, but his hands have always been poor. How many nearly great marks can he take? Perhaps they should nearly give him another contract. Needs to fire up - intensity is lacking

 

[Gogeelong]

Pretty happy with how we are playing. Game plan looks solid, lots of entries for us and bugger all for them. But bad kicking=bad football. Keep doing the same thing and the goals will come tho, just need to keep controlling the ball. Taylor looking solid which is nice

Hawkins also is under the microscope

 

[Tuggacat]

Zuthrie was pushed off that ball in front of goal like a feather plucked from a chicken. Looking like an amazingly poor selection as many predicted.

Sav is shocking. Jenkins next week unless he wins the game in the second half.

all fair points - but all preseason he was taking marks clean - and this is a mare.

GO Catters

Career averages:

8.71 disposals per game
0.79 goals per game.
6.71 hitouts per game
2.82 marks per game.

He's done nothing except show flashes of talent. No one is saying he doesn't have potential, but the point is his output doesn't match the hype.

Considering he arguably cost us a chance to go into half-time a point down instead of 13 points, it's understandable we're giving him a serve.

 

[Tuggacat]

Some positives though. Welcome back Duncan and Fort has started well.

 

[Down at K Park]

So zac guthrie had one touch for the half. One.

Can someone tell me why he is in the team and parfitt isn’t?

No you are all over being so bias you can't see the truth.

Rat: Can't kick, can't mark and can't contest

No sane person who has watched him play could ever hold that view. Unless of course you hate him and most other Geelong players and you use a poor performance to lose your mind over a couple of missed marks. Aka being 1 eyed towards the people you dislike.

 

[Turbocat]

Skill errors causing turnovers are killing us. The Cat's should be in front.

Overall when one side 9.1 and the other kicks 6.6 ..its pretty obvious we are in the game. Add the turnovers and we should be right in it.

And I'm not sure we really have played sweet yet. ,

 

[Baudolino]

Career averages:

He's done nothing except show flashes of talent. No one is saying he doesn't have potential, but the point is his output doesn't match the hype.

Also despite playing mostly up forward he's kicked more than two goals ONCE in 28 games. It's not unreasonable to criticise that.
