Review Round 3, 2023: Geelong Cats v Box Hill Hawks, 10 April 2023, 11.45am @ MCG

[VandoHawk]

It was a poor kick to him but Kosi doesn't even back himself to pick up the ball cleanly

 

[Wingnut19]

Can we delist Kosi to open up another MSD spot?

 

[rei154]

That was bloody beautiful from Fionn!

 

[Baz_hawk]

Brilliant chase by O'Hara

 

[VandoHawk]

O'Hara was like the terminator there, hunted him down for 30 metres

[VandoHawk]

Heat has gone out of this game, the frantic pressure that stopped Geelong from moving the ball has dropped off

 

[grumbleguts]

The difference between 2022 Fionn O'Hara and the 2023 version is astounding. Really loving this upward trajectory.

 

[peetoo]

Geelong finding these some energy saved up

Nice to create the chipscab game screwed over

 

[VandoHawk]

Bennetts a well deserved goal, linking up with Butler and Long

 

[rei154]

Long, Morris, Bennetts all involved in a beautiful play there.

Seriously happy with this performance!

 

[Davo-27]

Bennetts good 1 2 with Long for a good goal to get us over the ton

Geel 39 - 101 BHH

 

[theiaofseed]

Bennets brilliant one two with Long

 

[streetspirit]

Good tackle from Kosi to help out in that Bennetts goal. Get some body if the ball isn't falling your way.

 

[BigLittleHawk]

With the lack of talent in this game, it looks like the Geelong Football Club has finally come to the end of an era. The seniors won the premiership but are now showing signs of slowing down. This VFL outfit isn't packed with talented replacements either.
We'll done to them, at least they got a premiership, and hopefully, in coming years, we'll see them descend down the ladder while we ascend lol

 

[Davo-27]

Seamus looking much better, i think the threat of delisting fired him up a bit

 

[Wingnut19]

Bennetts looks one touch. So clean and great hands

 

[Davo-27]

Thorpe from outside 50, goal

Geel 45 - 107 BHH

 

[VandoHawk]

That really was a 55 metre bullet from Thorpe for a goal, he's had a good game

 

[MillerHawk]

Bennetts looks one touch. So clean and great hands

Really like his movement at stoppages too. Big potential here.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Cats player with a nice block at the death - actually dangerous and bordering on tunnelling. Not paid though

 

[Davo-27]

Siren sounds, Full Time

Geel 52 - 107 BHH

 

[Dipper Here]

Bennetts is a Cat B Rookie.

Can CatB rookies play seniors/AFL? Or do they have to wait for a spot to become available?

 

[Dipper Here]

That really was a 55 metre bullet from Thorpe for a goal, he's had a good game

What’s Thorpe’s footy background/story?

Geelong b+ for players that wouldn’t get a game at box hill today

Hawks D +
Our top pick playing seniors
Second pick didn’t play but would be the cats reserves best recruit out there today
3rd pick was just about the best midfielder out there before getting injured
B Mac O’Sullivan and Bennetts deserve a A+ rating on their own.
