Game Day Round 19: Geelong V Brisbane, Battle of the Cats - Sat 22nd July 4:35pm @ GABBA

[Baudolino]

Amazing how many times a Brisbane player has waltzed over the line when confronted with an opponent tonight. So much for showing "sufficient intent to keep the ball in".

This does my ****ing head in.

Players can smash the ball forward out of a pack without looking, the ball will bounce at right angles, and the umps will call that deliberate for some reason.

Yet a player deliberately walking it over the line because they realise they are out of options will never get pinged for deliberate. How does that make any sense whatsoever?

Genuinely had enough opportunities to win this match.

Awful decision making and execution going inside 50, and poor kicking at goal - have been death blows to the comeback.

Hard game to read.

To get beaten that badly in the midfield and still go down by 2 kicks to Brisbane in the only place they can win a game of footy is not too bad.

 

[Grimoz]

One positive is we can't be knocked out of the 8 this week

 

[Strange Cat]

Always going to be a tough task up there when they have their Superman cape on

They won’t be winning in Melb or in the finals at the very least

 

[Cataholic]

We are 1 quality mid and 1 decent mid away from top 4 and a flag this year. It is what it is.

Also one step too far away from composure, and intent from the first bounce.

I genuinely believe our 18 scoring shots overall were easier chances than their 19. So really we should've still been winning that game despite the many issues.

Match summary:

Take the game in, we look good.


Corral / zone / guard grass : look s**t.

Guarded nothing. Didn't learn -they constantly played short down the Zorko wing, Couldnt be faffed running

 

[NakedDeadGuy]

That was probably the most annoying game for mine this season. Played barely one quarter and should have won.
I guess looking for any small comfort our best is still good enough, this Brisbane team will be lucky to win a final. Extremely soft team which makes it even more disappointing we didn’t show up for the first half.

You can see why tonight that Bris list is so mentally soft …they will struggle once again when they play finals in Melb

Go here

Autopsy - Cats lose to Lions by 11 points

Pretty pox effort by us really. Fumbly, turnovers, lack or footy brain and lack of effort really. Couldnt handle decision making under pressure. Hard to think of any real standouts - Bowes and Stewy, Atkins were good but the rest were also rans. Had chances late to steal it - and it would...
