VFL VFL 2024 - Geelong & the greater league

[cats_09]

Would love to know what they've done to have the ground chopped up so bad. Bom says about 8mm (Geelong Racecourse) since Tuesday.

Certainly has had lots of massive downpours over the years and looked far better than this

When I did the members experience a couple of weeks back, Hocking explained that they've been having drainage issues on the Brownlow Stand side of the ground for a couple of years now, and signficant rain causes the warm up area that we see on TV to flood

Wondering if what we're seeing of the ground tonight is linked to that?

So when the next funding comes through for the scoreboard replacement, majority of the $4 million from that announcement is actually going to drainage works & improvement - the scoreboard upgrade is less than half of the funding announced

Hocking said, "you can bring your flippers and go for a swiml

And yet 8mm in four days. Suburban grounds run by the council would fair better. Sounds fishy to me.

Our decision or the umpires?

 

[Generalissimo]

Our decision or the umpires?

Por que no los dos?

 

[cats_09]

Bews doesn't look too good after that tackle - trainers tried to pull him from the ground which he refused

 

[dazbroncos]

Carpiron and Bruhn good then

Go Catters

 

[Lana]

Our decision or the umpires?

us

 

[cats_09]

To benefit the VFL team, would be good to have seen a Parfitt or Mannagh in the side today - that one extra experienced player in conditions like this could have been beneficial

 

[Lana]

Smart ball use by WB to get all of that territory

 

[dazbroncos]

Umps getting involved now.

GO CAtters

 

[year of the cat]

[Lana]

We're losing the game of inches

 

[dazbroncos]

Umps playing well now.

GO Catters

 

[dazbroncos]

Score?

55 - 50 Dogs up now.

GO Catters

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Score?

50-49

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Bruhn been enormous looking at the stats.

 

[Lana]

We've been our own worst enemy this quarter. thrown the game away

 

[cats_09]

Stanley is comfortably winning the hitouts, but we've got no players to where he's tapping the ball - we seem to be setting up a bit more defensively in the guts, but he keeps tapping to the attacking space where Daniel's has been positioning himself

Some seriously stupid football at the moment
