This is so great to see. Working our ass off and not getting the rewards. Feel like we’ve worked too hard for not enough and will eventually run out of puff but it’s so fun to watch.

should really be 20+ points up. Feel like the cats experience might overrun us in the 2nd half. Really need to keep pushing hard if we’re going to hold onto this.

Doing really well. Win or lose we've showed plenty.
Not getting enough reward for effort and you'd think with how hard we are working with the young bodies we might drop off but so far it's been a ripper.

An absolute smashing at clearances. Just have wasted so many chances

Quite frankly, was expecting to be steamrolled. Been a great first half to watch. Being picky, could have been further ahead.
Dominating the contested ball and clearances. Getting Amon involved means we make the best use of that dominance. Need to keep it up on the second half.
If we had a key forward who could create crumbling opportunities then our forward line would be very dangerous on today's form.

Great half hawks. Not perfect, and a few oppprtunitues missed, but I love the effort and the aggression on the Easter Monday big stage.
Go hawks.
Go hawks.

How good is our clearance work. 24-10 our way. Worps, Day and Meek with 4 each.
But probably more impressive is we have 15 players who have had at least one clearance vs only 5 players for the cats.

It’s textbook Geelong under pressure. Ruckman behind the ball and bomb long to key fwds. Unfortunately it usually works lol

Might not show it on the scoreboard but that was the best qtr of football we've played this year.
Anihilated them in clearances, stoppages and pressure through the roof.
Will Day what a game. Keep saying it every week and he keeps going to another level.
Need some of that polish up forward to finishes them off.

Super effort from our boys today.
+13 contested possession
+14 clearances
+11 inside 50’s
Dry ball and Mitch Lewis….I can dream.

Hodge trying to get Meek suspended and Rohan off the hook. Tell me it isn't so.
has been as brilliant as he's been frustrating
Sub out Reeves at HT for Wingard no room for both those big guys on a day like today and when we get Lewis back one of them will have to go too .
Bloody great half of footy - we've played really tough footy.
If we had a key forward that could take a mark we'd look very different.
The decision to move on O'Meara and Mitchell is 100 per cent vindicated looking at these clearance numbers. We are standing up week after week here.

Some highlights and comments:
- Hardwick. Everything he does is high percentage footy. Would be a nightmare to play on.
- Will Day - he's found the pace of the game and is genuinely brilliant in contested situations
- Ferg looks really sharp.
- McKenzie - everything going wrong for him today. Everything.
- Tough tough footy. Newcombe, Meek, Nash, Hardwick all showing a lot of presence
- The ruck combo is doing brilliantly.
- Amon - very relaxed whenever he has it.
- Impey - very nervous whenever he has it. (Amazing ability to dance himself into trouble and then kick long and blind)
- Meek is my new favourite.

Been a great game from Greene which is making me really excited for the prospect of how he'll play around a pillar like Lewis.

Remember when we were supposed to have cut back that thin that we might not win a game for the whole year?
