GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Geelong

[Diamond_Jim 12,590]

mmm

some good... some bad

[Jaded No More 68,922]

Need to stop trying to break tackles 

[Jibroni 5,004]

We can play much better, whether Geelong can is another question

Back to basics

We got away with breaking through tackles against brissy but it's not the go tonight 

Will the umps keep it consistent and pay the tackles the other way?

Gee our backline has the wobbles at the moment.

[layzie 33,814]

Finished that one so poorly.

[Lord Travis 10,730]

They’re smashing us on rebound. Their kicking skills are good. We’re holding up fine in the air, but once it’s on the ground or running we’re struggling. Missing Hunt or Rivers to lock down more on those types of attacks. Hibberd is ok, but Bowey and Salem aren’t great at defending. They’re both offensive options.

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,293]

May horrid. Viney and Harmes trying to Dusty everyone. Other than tht, pretty decent start. Need to quit that crap though. We are gifting them goals.

[Demongirl35 1,053]

Are we playing who can hold the ball the longest?

get rid of it on the first option. May might as well have not played at this point. 
 

[DeeSince73 488]

We need to take the first option, not fend off Hollywood style and get caught....how many times this quarter?

Go back to the VFL Bedford

Rough after one contest that suited the bigger guy. Let’s see Tuohy get him if Bedford gets it in space.

[Lord Travis 10,730]

Cats are experienced and strong bodied  team. Need to stop trying to break tackles and take Hollywood options. Back to basics, first option football when the pressure is on.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Twice Bedford getting caught out in a marking contest with a bigger player that quarter. What goes on there?

Gotta put a clamp on Dangerfield

Steven May is genuinely killing us!

How about more time focusing on your game Maysey and less time spraying other blokes.

Thought viney had learnt but alas let's take everyone on again, same with harmes.

[BAMF 4,353]

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.

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,777]

If we play this intense all night and lose I won't be too disappointed

Went to ground and cost a goal earlier in the quarter. He was good against Brisbane, but wasn’t great last week and was close to worst on ground that first quarter. He’ll need to lift or he’ll be dropped again.

Bit harsh

Bedford 69kg v Touhy 91kg

not sure he will win any body on body contest if he stays on him. Let’s see how he goes for the rest of the game?

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

The ground feels like a junior footy oval. 

[Redleg 40,926]

Why are our players falling over? Seen at least 10 times our player has fallen over. Cats staying on their feet. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,462]

1st quarter 

stupidity abounds.  Harmes May Oliver Viney. Take the first option. Turned into trouble. Fended tackler ??! This is not v the Kangas.   Not sharp.  Lucky to be even.

Bowey.  Ummm. Hmmmm.
 
Trac 😄

Playing a small forward line has this consequence 

[dees189227 12,394]

We are playing Geelong. They are experienced & don't miss any tackles.

Our players need to remember that

Really wish we brought one of Hunt/Rivers in.
