GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Geelong



Recommended Posts

May playing his worst ever game.  Defence looking shaky

Trying to break tackles

Too little talking

Stengle playing v well

Bedford outmanoeuvred twice

Salem missing targets

What's with our players getting tackled but disposing of the ball but getting pinged??

Pressure is huge. Cats are primed

Only 2 pts down. We can wear them down.

Viney, Harmes and May were all culprits that quarter is costing us goals and genuine turnovers.

So disappointing that these are supposed leaders who are letting us down.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Sparrow tried down back in future. Brings pressure, has pace, could play more lockdown potentially. We need his type down back IMO.

This is how Geelong have such a good home ground advantage. We seem so confused with the lack of space on wings. Everything is compressed and we can't play our regular game style.

Not really look at up the ground footage after a kick in you 1 or 2 cats players all by themselves in our forward line, and why do our forwards always start from behind?

Playing a switched on Cats on a narrow ground, take the first option to dispose of the ball please. Trying to break tackles and baulking the first tackler looking for a target is costing us.

Trying to play the Cats own precise  possession game instead of going long & direct once in the clear is costing us big time.

Once in the clear off HB and pressure closing, back your players up the field and go long.  The extra handball or short kick to another player under pressure is killing any momentum and also our forwards chances of winning any one on ones.

BB solid first quarter and much more involved.  Takes two contesteds on the wing, then goes back to assess but takes way too long.  Cats all flooded back.  Opportunity lost.  Move it on quickly inside 50 with a low raking kick towards a Maxy or Dogga and let the smalls go to work.

Stephen may cost us 2 goals. Looks unsure and not trusting his ability. I'd drop him for a week after this week.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
