Game Day Round 9 - Collingwood v Geelong, 1:45pm Saturday, MCG

[Cataholic]

Simply cannot take a grab in our F50.

Where the ball is, Hawk ain't.

Nor are we roving contests very well.

And our kicking

 

[The Casey Cat]

How about stop flying for species and stay at the ground to apply some pressure Menz? Been ####ing dog shit today.

 

[Bobby_]

Duncan hasn't had a touch for about 10 minutes and it's no surprise we are slipping away.
Needs to get involved dramatically this finals few minutes of the quarter

 

[catstorm]

Need caddy to kick this

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Pies using the open spaces to overcome our press. I also think they're pressing much tighter than us so when the ball comes loose it seems like there's heaps of them around. Maybe the cats have tried to spread their press too much to compensate for the size of the G. Seen similar happen in games we lost last year at the G.

To me, it's the disadvantage of playing on our narrow ground.

 

[Munich]

Danger out of sorts.

Bartel best on ground.

Selwood getting murdered with no one helping him.

Not a great day out I must say..

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Have we won a centre clearance today?

And our kicking

Not roving contests at all. Seriously Menz, Mots, Caddy and Lang deserve an utter roasting for this effort today. Gregson at least trying.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Cads. There's still a pulse...


I am warming up the paddles mind you.

 

[dazbroncos]

CADDY!!!

Go Catters

 

[DangerHere]

Need min 1 more this qtr

 

[Munich]

Have we won a centre clearance today?

I'd be surprised if we had.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Better but still cant convert.

 

[cats_09]

Do the quarters feel short to anyone else?

 

[Cataholic]

Not roving contests at all. Seriously Menz, Mots, Caddy and Lang deserve an utter roasting for this effort today. Gregson at least trying.

Sick of seeing the ball spill to a bunch of Pies at ground level, and not a Cat to be seen

 

[thegerman]

If we kick the expected ones, this would be a 2 goal game

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

But he's got them up each week until now? The players know then what's required?

And Bartel is playing a solid game down back today.

Of course he is.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Games still winnable, but the momentum of the game says no at this point. Our last quarters have been exceptional so far this season, but seeing the expressions on our guys faces after the 3rd quarter siren I say the Pies have won the mental battle by a long way.

 

[Mattlock]

is motlop playing...?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Kersten. Anonymous.
Smith and Stanley - only 8 hitouts each. Nothing around the ground.
Horlin-Smith - 8 touches, 1 clearance and only 1 tackle.

Quite clear who our bottom 4 are today.

 

[dazbroncos]

If we haven't learned the lesson that all you need to be is 10% off your game and you will get done, then this is another example of it...

Go Catters

 

[Bobby_]

Do the quarters feel short to anyone else?

only 5 goals kicked that quarter

 

[Cezz The Catter]

Caddy is the best set shot in our side without a doubt. Kicks the ball so well with a nice finishing action, hes gotta get in the boys ears this season our kickings disgraceful.

 

[xtatik222k]

If we cut it to 2-3 goals by 3 quarter time I may give us a chance. All the good work done so far this season is being undone today, all the stats we have been winning in we are behind today.

One game doesn't undo everything. Don't be so melodramatic. I saw us lose to the pies by 80-odd during our flag reign. This is a blip, and we may still run it out.

 

[fpm84]

Have clearly outplayed them since QT but poor conversion has hurt us and the margin was too great to begin with. Had we been 3-4 goals down at QT we'd likely be around level by now.
