Game Day Round 11: Geelong vs Big Big Sound, Sat 27 May @ 4:35pm at KP

[Jhye Clark 13]

Ceglar off.. those last two handballs he did were utterly appalling. SDK ruck

Blaming Ceglar again.

This board is absolutely shizen at times.

How about blaming the forwards who are applying zero pressure or the mids who are doing the same.

Na, let's blame the scapegoat. Embarrassing.

 

[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

Could we please put SDK down back, he is having no influence in the forward line.

If you must play a defender forward throw Henry down there.

His composure in the contest led directly to the Parfitt goal.

 

[Grimoz]

Whoever is on Greene needs a spell!!!

0-3
5-0
0-5 ?
--what a season!

Hard to see where our next win is coming from. Defs not beating the dogs, Dees or power playing like this.

 

[DangerHere]

At the ground, appalling accountability, clearance work pathetic. This is our worst game of the year IMO

Ball would need to go forward for the forwards to apply pressure I would've thought.

 

[gogeelongcats]

Champions win games.
There is only one on the ground today and he is playing his 200th game.

He's awful. Pies played well with no ruckman, why can't we try it. Ceglar is just wasting space.

 

[Chappycats]

O'Connor, Bruhn, Parfitt playing good amount of midfield minutes have amassed 19 possessions between the 3 of them

Bruhn has 42% and parfitt has 72%! Atkins is on 68%. Not sure how that equates to plenty of time on ground, especially for inside players.
Compare to coniglio and green on 82% and 83%.
Maybe the coaches should let the players actually play a decent chunk of time and get into the game instead of constantly bringing them off and on.
Really hard to get into a game if you’re always brought to the bench.

This season is really emphasising how much we need Cam Guthrie a) in the team and b) in good health/form.

and Danger, Duncan

 

[Greg Brady]

This is an arrogant coaching performance that has filtered down into an arrogant on-field performance.

on Greene. Trying Stengle on-ball....

Really poor half and now our season is a huge chance to be blown up.

Reap what you sow.

 

[NakedDeadGuy]

We’re just not fun to watch at the minute, same as last week. Mullin at least providing a couple of moments. I equate us a bit like Carlton, with the big two forwards. At least they kick it to them, even if they can’t kick straight.
I never watch these clowns or suns except when we play them, reminds me every time how much I hate smuggy mcsmugface, and these two clown teams. Nobody cares.

 

[Walter H White]

We shouldn't be okay with this just because we have injuries. The effort is nowhere near good enough.

. He's completely underestimated the Giants, who have a good streak at the ground. Put Batman upfront, has Guthrie on Toby Green. Elected to put the 3rd Irishman on debut. And they are still wasting plenty of opportunities by focusing on Cameron.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

How about we focus on O'Connor who offers nothing and everytime he gets the ball his sole focus is putting his head down to absorb a tackle. No looking to handball or take a quick kick. Just allows himself to get tackled. Terrible footballer.

 

[Vdubs]

Hard to see where our next win is coming from. Defs not beating the dogs, Dees or power playing like this.

agreed, we are slow, not hungry, and average skills

 

[Walter H White]

Why is Bews not on Greene????????

 

[CatToTheFuture]

They are working harder

It's unbelievable how many times they have five at the contest against our 1 or 2 then they go forward and find a player in space.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

Ball would need to go forward for the forwards to apply pressure I would've thought.

It's definitely coming out of the attacking fifty way too much/easily. The composure and pressure just isn't there on any line.

 

[Klink]

How on earth is Sav an "easy" target. If anything he's riding a wave of media hype at the moment in which he's been given a free pass for flaws in his game that others would be criticised for.

And he hasn't been anywhere near "great" this year btw. He's produced improved performances relative to his output as a ruck or a forward. Not the same thing as "great". His AFL form as a ruck-forward was abysmal, so not a high bar to clear.

Just another fringe player, playing a valuable key position role who gets used as a scapegoat when our mids are being taken to the cleaners. Just like kolo etc over the years. We have been decimated in the back half and he has been a mainstay back there playing a valuable role whilst SDK, Henry, Stewart etc have all missed games. Tough gig for a player learning a new role and developing.

His role is appreciated by those internally that matter. The least of our worries right now.

 

[Grimoz]

Tuohy has become a liability, if we didnt have so many injuries I doubt he would be getting a game

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Ball would need to go forward for the forwards to apply pressure I would've thought.

I'm actually talking about not allowing their opponents to run off at will and become link men in a chain. You knew that though.

 

[The_Todd07]

Good news for umpire #22 is he has been bounced from the most incompent umpire spot.

In the space of a few minutes #28 was overrules on a blatant push in the back when in perfect position, tried to call for a throw in on a kick that went OOTF and failed to pay 2 or 3 of the most obvious HTB you will see

If any mouth breather tries to say we get a ride from the maggots it's proof they lack any grip on reality

 

[Play it Sam]

What's with all the tricks? Overestimating their own capabilities.
DISPOSE first grab.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

Looking at the vision in the rooms. Stewart just standing off to the side, not talking, not getting involved.

Pretty bad look.
