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

[UnitedWarrior93]

I'd be surprised if we had.

They have a decent midfield, but so do we, and yet it's so one sided, getting slaughtered in there.

No comeback today here boys, can bump this if we somehow win but we've been so poor today.

To many players down today.

 

[Cataholic]

Have we won a centre clearance today?

Once.

But the ump figured it must've been due to an infringement, and awarded a free kick to the Pies.

 

[betchsta]

Hoping our 4th qtrs continue to be our best & we can hold the pies goaless.......

 

[Cezz The Catter]

Also we are missing some serious classy pace with Mccarthy and Cocky out. You can see the effect on the forward half.

 

[CaptainJayho]

If anyone's got a spare lid could you send it over my way. Mine came off last week but I think I need to put it back on. Thanks in advance.

 

[The Casey Cat]

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.

Kiersten is just NOT a key forward. Means he will look even worse when delivery is what it's been today. He can be of use but not in his current role he is simply not that player.

Far as the rest hopefully injuries stop so we can stop relying on VFL standard players.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

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.

I wouldn't say clearly, we've had most of the play but done nothing.

Pies have done well shutting out our kicks to go through the middle, we've been pushed wide all day.

 

[dazbroncos]

We've kicked 10 all day.

And need to kick probably 8 to win it.

Good luck as that will need 20 shots the way we kick....

Go Catters

 

[Gogeelong]

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

Lang has played well

 

[PatrickBateman]

Smith and Stanley probably the worst 2 players on the ground... against a 3rd rate opposition ruck. WTF happened?

I thought the team was passed this level of performance drop... NOT.

And Geelong Addy... "Guthrie joining the competition elite"?? Give me a break. Sorry.. couldn't resist.

Bartel and Blicavs pretty good in a woeful game for the club.

 

[Crhferrari]

Ruggles is left out of the original side and Bews stays in. If Lonergan make the squad the scoreborad would have been looked much more ugly.

 

[cats_09]

9 hitouts to advantaged compared with 3 - we should be doing better in the clearances than we are

 

[r32godzilla]

Tough ask to make up 27 pts :/

 

[Bobby_]

Had we been 3-4 goals down at QT we'd likely be around level by now.

We are getting smashed in contested possessions and beaten in clearances.
I think the scoreboard reflects the reality of the situation instead of missed goals being the main excuse of the day

 

[Cronin]

Our slow ball movement is almost as bad as our shit goal kicking. Where's the quick movement from last week ffs??

No link up play, no run and carry, but when they do they kick goals or atleast get an opportunity.

If I see slow ball movement in the last quarter I'll flush this phone down the toilet!

 

[catters05]

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.

Yeah, but that was 2008. We know how that year finished.

 

[Mitch3233]

Better come out breathing fire next Sunday.

Lost a like with the 3rd line bullshit.

 

[sk8er_in_town]

Defended Bews for a long, but enough is enough. Trade him to Richmond already.

Go Catters

Only 20??

You're counting on the boys straightening up their kicking up obviously?

 

[The Casey Cat]

only 5 goals kicked that quarter

And very few in general since the first.

 

[Turbocat]

This test the last quarter theory

 

[The_Todd07]

**** me Tom tried leading

 

[James1970]

Finally Tommy leads.

 

[GFrost]

If there were two more quarters to go, I could see a grinding win. But margin is just big enough it, feel like it would require real spark and energy that we seem to lack. Hopefully we can get close so the adrenaline kicks in. So many players down today. Here is their chance to make it a good day.
