I know he can be frustrating but we would be lost without Fristch

He is brilliant. So creative

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I’ve only seen drips and drabs but despite inaccurate in front of goal best footy we have played all year?

[layzie 28,673]

Max and Trac had stellar halves 

[dees189227 10,753]

We didn't panic when may went off. Tomlinson just went to Hawkins. Hopefully he doesn't get off the leash. 

But we are going well. Live tracks game & Oliver just needs to take the first option

Hopefully it’s not a broken eye socket 

Yes they made a quick diagnosis so it’s not concussion or something they can stitch up. 

[Demon Dynasty 15,365]

One of the most disgraceful umpiring performances ive seen in that 5 minute period in the 2nd.  We should have been running it up the field for a shot at goal instead he calls holding the man when it should've clearly been holding the ball. 

Two holding the balls that were 50/50 against us in our forward line against Frittata & Sparrow yet the Cats don't get called for similar and then get a reverse call instead.  Faaark off Umps!

Crush them in the 2nd half and for good measure someone please knock out cheat Selwood and fat Hawkins

Someone needs to get Flabber to learn to control his joints. His elbows seem to have a mind of their own. 

[forever demons 1,810]

where does selwood get off complaining,hate hate him

[Stevienic23 1,024]

Was getting vibes of the game at Etihad a few years ago where we were all over em and couldnt kick a goal and they couldnt miss. Hopefully we show some mongrel and put the foot down

We are [censored] if May has broken his eye socket.  Majak Daw might get a gig.

Selwood whinging to the umps coming off.

He was just saying the brown paper bag wasnt guaranteed this week if they dont lift their game.

[JTR 2,627]

My fingers are like icicles, so not going to try and navigate my way back through thread. 

Can someone with benefit of replays tell me what happened to May? His contest with Hawkins was right in front of me, but it looked pretty innocuous until he didn't get up

I'd say yes. It's blowing a gale and slippery and we're burying them. I think the inaccuracy in front of goal is forgivable under the conditions too.

He broke something....that is for sure.

[Demon Dynasty 15,365]

Mossie getting involved alot in the 2nd half of that quarter has set the pidgeon amongst the Cats!!  Great stuff son...keep it coming

That last tackle on Isaac Smith in our goal square, a case in point. No prior but he was also making no attempt to release the ball and we know why. That is often a free.

He got an elbow to the face from Hawkins at full force as Hawkins tried to get the ball away. Think it was just an accident, but given the injury you could argue it was reckless. He looked a mess.

Geelong's game plan is quite obvious. Cheat at all opportunities. The most penalised team in the comp, and the umps have paid so many free kicks against them they've almost given up.

They're bringing the game into disrepute.

I said this during the week, they clearly train to take advantage of umpiring and rules that can be manipulated

Petty can slot in

[Dee Zephyr 17,411]

Loving our coaches thinking ahead. Hunt has been going to Smith when Smith rolls forward and has kept him quiet. Hunt has been exceptional, not necessarily stat wise but watching behind the play his work rate is unbelievable. 

We should be further in front, the lowering of the eyes and seeking the best option is impressive so far. Just bury them in the third.

Jordan needs to get into it

I know hes young but 1 possie is not good.

Nate jones great goal but only 2 touches...come on.

If they can lift it will make a big difference.

the little aussie kossie just needs a tad of luck

[dees189227 10,753]

May is the player we cant afford to lose well maybe apart from maxy. but he has had a stellar start & it's just so unfortunate

Slow mo looks like his forearm smacked his face in the tackle as he was trying to get rid of the ball. Maybe accidental, but gees Hawkins has form. 
May looked horrible going off. Hopefully it’s not a break.

Thanks for that. Fingers crossed May is ok. Hawkins has form with 'accidental' elbows, so I'd definitely be on reckless side of fence
